Dark Lover is one of those light, lusty reads that portrays the vampires as the good guys. The Black Dagger Brotherhood is a group of 6 vampires that have very little (if any) human blood in them. They have unconventional names that kind of make you wonder if those are their birth names, or names they've given themselves. There's Wrath, Tohrment, Phury, Zsadist, Rhage, and Vishous.
Wrath is the leader of this group, the only purebred vampire left, and he has a chip on his shoulder. Before his transition, he watched the Lesseners (a group of vampire slayers) slaughter his parents and servants. His only mission in life is to wipe out these slayers. But when one of his most trusted soldiers is killed, he feels a duty to honor his fallen brother, and not just by seeking vengeance on those responsible for the death. Wrath is given a letter asking him to watch over the lost brother's half-breed daughter in case she transistions. (Did I mention that the daughter grew up in the Foster care system and has no idea her father is a vampire?)
While this book is not at all a difficult read, you do have to remember a few things since you are following several different stories throughout. You not only follow Wrath and his brothers, but also a reporter, a cop, and the leader of the Lesseners.
It appears that the Black Dagger Brotherhood series has quite the following, and if you enjoy paranormal romances, this would be a good one for you.
