I have to admit I’ve been looking forward more to Phury’s story than V’s but this top 10 list has definitely whetted my… ahem… appetite for V!!  kiss

OMG, I love reading what you wrote yesterday about Butch & V, and I sooo cannot wait for V’s story!  10/02/07 is too dang far away!

Yeah, I love a smart, techy bad boy with a bit of kink to him.  Verra verra sexy indeed. 

Oh, I’m so glad Phury’s gonna get his HEA soon.  And Tohr.  I miss Tohr.  The Brotherhood’s not the same w/o him.

J.R., I’ll take the easy way out and ALL your characters are so vivid and multi-dimentional.  I was (am) a pretty squimish reader, and here I am gnashing my teeth for these brothers to KILL all those lessers!  All parts of your books equal a sum of WOW!
Now, LR also mentioned tatoos in V’s nether regions (am I wrong about this?)..er, um, what’s up with that?
-delightful series, and can’t wait for Oct.!

!!! I am having so much fun reading the J.R Ward blogs, that I don’t even know what to type! I have all of the other books so far, and have read them and loved them.. I haven’t gotten the latest yet, but I can’t wait!!! Thanks SR for introducing JR Ward’s books to me!

And of course thenks JR for writing about such fabulous heroes and heroines!!!

JR-- soooo cruel of you to tease us this way! Love, love, LOVE the Brothers! And I’m with all your other fans above--can’t you write faster?  tongue wink

{author}'s avatar Lil said...

Butch is my fave and always will be, but I gotta agree, the way V takes care of him and the scenes between them in LR....V talking to Marissa, wow, there is so much more to V than we all know and October is SO far away! Of course, being on the boards is one way to keep my addhiction going, I can always go back and read the interactions, excerpts, ect to tide me over.
You are the only author I know of that takes her fans so far into the world she writes, with having the Brothers on the board and always popping in, letting the leaf lift juuuust a little, then KR’s to pique our interest further, J.R. you are top of the heap for certain!

Hello WAEDen… I am so happy all your books are doing so well!!

It seems every question I ask is a big ole KR, hay, I have to try.... true?

Penqueen said...

Is anyone not into him?

(For me though the thing about V is how good of a friend he is.  For some reason that’s super hot to me and made me look forward to his book even more. Loyalty is a truly impressive trait in anyone.)

Thanks so much for writing such a compelling series.

Will V be secretly happy about all this affection though?

I might never be able to spell the word properly again btw.

LOL, I love the list JR!! Cannot wait for V’s book and of course, eherm, the black candles.....*sighs*

Hey JR!

Are Butch and V ever going to act out their feelings with one another in a sexual manner b/c those scenes in LR were Hot!

And as much as I want to read V’s story… the one that has always intrigued me the most has been Tohr.  Do you have any idea what or when is story is coming out?

03/21  at  08:08 AM

I’ve so been crushing on V.  He’s so steamy!  Dr. Jane’s lucky.

I finished LR last night.  The BDB withdrawls have already begun.  Can’t wait ‘til October, ‘cept by then instead of bloodlust I’ll have Brotherlust.

03/21  at  08:10 AM

I love V!! I can’t wait for his book!  How long until October?  You rock J.R.

Warden ,
How could anyone not love a Brother even one you don’t quite understand ? Other than the TATs ofcourse , those are hot!!
So, I’m here showing some Vishous love for the one who I have no understanding of but I have high hopes that will all change after LU comes out. 

So , here’s to you V-man!! 
kiss  vampire

Julie in Ohio said...

Confession:  I didn’t really get V.  He had all that IT stuff and his crazy hand going on but he really wasn’t “there” for me.  After reading LR, that changed. 
I am so anxious for LU that it’s insane.  I’m still a bit confused on alot that goes on with him but as LeeAnn said I have high hopes that the understanding will come with LU.  V has to be the most mysterious of the Brothers, IMO.

03/21  at  08:23 AM

Jennifer said...

Yup, hottest thing around!

I can. not. wait. for October!!!!!

I 100% agree with you! Those are some of my favorite scenes. And I love when he talks to Marissa.

The TORTURE!!  As if we weren’t salivating enough over V… We’ve had to lay down drool mats ALL OVER the cell.  And would you look at Ven’s keyboard. *sigh*

But I’m lovin’ the list.  And you can never bring up the black wax enough.  wink

I just know I’m gonna love Jane.  Can’t wait to see her deal with V.  smile

Holy cow!  Thank you for teasing us! 

I’m thinkin’ about those serious SKILLS.  Yeah, the IT stuff, right.  He can maybe help with the drool on my keyboard?

I just want to know… WHEN DOES OCTOBER GET HERE?!?  OK, I know WHEN, but can we delete September & maybe August from the calendar?  Puhleeeeze?!?!  With Goose on top?

S-Byte ,

That was AWFUL!!

You know, I definitely would’ve added in his other mad skills, dagger-making, stone-carving, mhis, ability to do the NYTimes Sunday crossword puzzle...and rumors that he’s a damn good cook.  So, pretty much EVERYTHING about V.

03/21  at  09:29 AM

PhoenixRising Lyric said...

Oh, the Tohrmenting Zsadist WARDen!  Careful, let’s not add Wrathful, Rhaging or Phuryous to that list!  OK, I was reaching on that last one!  MUAH!

03/21  at  09:30 AM

LeeAnn (DaPecker) said...

If they do , they will surely feel her Wrath. 
All the cellies would be most Phurious and the Therror that would fellow would be great . Indeed.

MichelleW said...

Well V has always intrigued me, and not just in an intellectual way...ahem...moving on!  rasberry October isn’t too far away, at least we don’t have to wait a year, right?

I have to admit, my first love was Wrath, then Rhage, and who could forget Zsadist! And now we have Butch, with V right on his heels.

WARDen, i so admire you, and think your writing is wonderful. Don’t tire yourself out too much by working too hard...but on the flip-side we love your BDB series, so YEAH keep having those fingers flying across the keys, feel me?

cool smile love the sunglasses WARDen. Even though most of us know the reason you wear them, still you look hot. hehehe.

03/21  at  09:33 AM

Sophie said...

V has ALWAYS been my favorite Brother, not only for the reasons you described but because his emotional remoteness means that when he falls in love, it’s going to be even sweeter.

Who doesn’t love a man whose cold exterior thaws and he-- and we-- discover that he’s actually capable of great love? Swooooon. Lucky, lucky Jane-- even though I suspect that just as you had a hard time writing this book, Jane isn’t going to find it easy to deal with V at first. but in the end, he’ll change her life for the better. At least, I hope so!

Can’t wait for V’s book. Butch’s was amazing, too, but I already know V’s will be my favorite smile

Loved this list. Thanks!

WARDen,

What a great list.  I’m like everybody else, can’t wait till V’s book comes out.  I loved seeing the relationship/friendship between him and Butch develop throughout the series. 

I can’t wait to read his and Jane’s story.

Butch was awesome, the best one yet.  They keep getting better and better.  I expect Butch to make it to #1 on the bestsellers lists.

Oh man.  I didn’t think I could possibly want V’s book anymore than I already did, but then we get the top ten.  It’s going to be a long, long wait until October.

Wicked, wicked WARDen. wink As if things weren’t hot enough in the BDB world already.

Gotta love a man who is so THERE for the people he cares about, no matter the cost or what it takes.

Mujerluminosa said...

Dear La Ward,
More is better.  Blessed be on the black wax? I love wax, the hotter the better.  Butch & V are a (&^%$))) inspiration! Honey, in my world it is ALL BROTHERS, ALL THE TIME.  It’s all good. Thank the SV you like to keep busy - as I said more is better. Keep em coming…
But October 2nd - could the wait be anymore painful?

Now you expect me to go back to work after reading your top ten list about V - get real girl. Gracias!

Extremely long wait and we just have to take it a day at a time....is it October YET!?!?

I can not wait to see how V not only changes Jane’s life but what he will be like when he finally comes to realize he can love and can be close to someone without hurting them. He’s always been so afraid because of his “curse” and now...well...much more and I’m into spoiler territory, so I’ll stop, before I get the Wrath of the WARDen down on my head.

My personal favorites are Rehvenge and Phury. But I love all of these guys. My fav thing about Vis is his passion for baseball. He must tivo the day games.

S-Byte, you forgot the crocheting vampire

I need V. After Z, I love V the most.

WARDen - i know you have answered this before - whose book comes after Phury’s? Is it Rehv’s?

03/21  at  12:15 PM

Phyllis Lamken said...

So did you know that on the Blood Ties site, they are promoting vampire romances, including the Black Dagger Brotherhood?

elsiehogarth said...

Oh yeah! V is “muy caliente”.  Totally Hot.  He’s the total package.

My favorite brother is Z(from book One-the Strong Silent type), Rehvenge (his situation just intrigues me.  He’s like a person on a fence), Phury (what great love for his brother) and Wrath(he’s just Sexy Hot & more so NOW with his super long hair).

Okay… I think I have a better understanding of what makes V so darned Irresistible! And now we have 10 good reasons to be even more impatient for LU.

Good heavens, WARDen, you sure know how to torture!  wink

charlie said...

big surprise

Ok so i’m a Rhage fan no two ways about it, but sweet Lord

Vishous + chains = meltdown!!

And I gots to say number one thing about him? all that testosterone fuelled speech he throws out (I feel 26 years of kick butt femenism sliding further down the loo with each word!!!)

03/21  at  01:27 PM

J. R. Ward said...

LOL Yeah, V is pretty HOT.  For.  Real.

First of all thank you for all the kindness!  Secondly, there are some keeeeeeeeep readdddddddings I have to give out here (namely when Lassiter’s going to show up.) But I will say that the connection between V and Butch is in LOVER UNBOUND.  The two of them are, on several levels, inseperable.

Um… did I mention V’s hot?

03/21  at  01:45 PM

Courtney Lee said...

Dammit, WARDen, do you enjoy torturing us? OCTOBER, woman, OCTOBER!!!! *wimpers*

My mission: Get more tidbits from WARDen about what V is like as a bonded male, how Dr. Jane is kick-a$$, and what it is about Dr. Manny that makes LL THUD.

My equipment: An industrial-grade leaf blower and duct tape.

My bribery supplies: the best Vermont cheddar available, crackers, authentic English scones, Scooby Doo lunchboxes, and a really comfortable seat cushion for WARDen’s writing chair (because let’s face it, she has no a$$ and that necessitates a nice cushion to go between her tailbone and the chair)

My plan: Rope several cellies in as accomplices and attempt to infiltrate WARDen’s leaf.

A friend of mine turned me on the the Brotherhood series.  THANK THE SV! I love, love, love these guys.  It’s also good to know I’m not the only one that can’t get enough.  The past 2 days have been like thereapy for my BDB addiction.

03/21  at  01:56 PM

S-Byte said...

Much like the wax....it can never be said enough that V is hot.

I’m loving the top ten idea.  Next: Top ten reasons Rehv is too hot to handle. wink Although I think we’re going to have to wait a year or so before that list makes an appearance. LOL.

Warden you are the BEST!!  I loved Butch! I just finished reading it for the third time last night, and it keeps getting better and better.  I was looking forward to V, but after LR, i find his personailty so much more interesting. His thought prosses and his wonderings about relationships are very compelling. I want to say in a soft way, but i know he is not in any way soft. I can’t wait to see more of Jane and read their story.  thank you warden!!

I have these books and can’t wait for the rest, but have been waiting for the perfect time - i.e. a completely uninterrupted weekend to do nothing but escape into the stories of these wonderfully, wickedly, delicious men and their fanta . . . lives.  I don’t think I can start one of these books and have to (must) go to sleep because of work the next day, for goodness sake.  I am salivating at the thought of cracking open these books.

Squawk ladies - thanks again for introducing us to these wonderful authors/books.  I’m pretty sure the we will see a significant increase in the percentage of romance book sales this year. I will personally have contributed to 57.83698% of the number.

WARDen, I mean this in the nicest possible way but you are E V I L excaim That list...my throat is dry, my heart is pounding...I’m at work - I can’t be thinking these things at work wink

I didn’t realise V put you through such a grueling experience with his books: ((((((((((WARDen))))))))))

Are the Brothers giving you some TLC to help you recover?

I so can’t wait to read more about V and Butch - I had goosebumps reading those scenes, especially the one on the roof and the one in the forest (I hope that last sentence is as spoiler free as I think it is). When is Lover Unbound coming out please? (In other words, how long do I have to survive until I get another fix...good thing I can re-read DL, LE and LA).

I keep thinking that each new book I read in the BDB is my “favorite one ever”.......Until I pick up the newest story, and then the da** thing can’t be pulled from my greedy little fingers! But Warden, I think you’ve actually topped it with LR! Well...............that was until I saw the comments about V’s book, and after I got back INTO my chair, realized that had also drooled on my keyboard! Any chance the release can be moved up? Please?! Yep.....didn’t think so!

03/21  at  03:42 PM

Randa said...

Yeah more V & Butch. Lovely relationship that you created there, whatever happens. That induction ceremony scene.whoooo wee… wow. That was hot.. hot.

Question? V said he was a vascular virgin. Was that only with females? When he was inducted did the brothers bite him

Loved the V-List! I am so addicted I’m going to end up needing a “12-step Brother Program” to make it until October. If this has been asked I apologize. Are the Omega and SV true siblings?

Avis said...

Hey WARDen!!!

V is definately hot.

But my heart is whith Phury.  I ran a poll in the cell and the most anticipated book at the moment is actually Phury’s - by one vote. (119 total votes.) V came in second.

As all of us Cellies are now looking forward to V’s book - what book are you looking forward to?
And, for your own reading pleasure, what book are you dying to read??

PS - If Ms. Kleypas reads this blog - LOVED Sugar Daddy.  Gage *fans self* is definately one hot man.

03/21  at  04:13 PM

Avis said...

OMG.  Whoa.  The WARDen has mentioned the words Lassiter and book in the same sentence here and at the RT MB’s.  Is it Christmas??  Early Easter present?? Anyone else catch this??

I wonder what this means for that leaf today…

03/21  at  04:24 PM

{author}'s avatar kat said...

Hi WARDen!!!

Black wax is definitely hot enough to be mentioned twice wink

And no one would ever know I’m completely in love with Vishous (*pulls sleve down over VAddict tattoo*)

Z will likely always be the one to have the strongest grip on my heart, but da** there’s just something about V. The Butch connection’s probably my favorite reason so far (since we haven’t really met Jane yet). It pulls at me like the Z-Phury connection did in LA.

You really do write male relationships better than any other author I’ve read.

No questions today, just sending lots and lots of love to you and all those we love in the BDB-verse smile *hugs*

Holy cow WARDen...I didn’t think you could torture us anymore with V and his hotness...I WAS WRONG!!!  On sooo many levels!

Butch and V connection definetaly my number one.  Well, at least a close second to black wax....

This is going to be the loooongest seven months of my life!
