Lover Enshrined is supposed to be Phury's story, and I guess, in a way, it is. As with my review for the previous book, I am having a hard time writing this one due to the disappointment. Phury's story is just kind of...blah. We follow him as he kicks his habit, and tries to begin he duties as the new Primale. When he arrives to complete the ceremony, he sees that the Chosen, Cormia, who was picked for the ceremony, is terrified. He decides to bring her back to the mansion with him so that she can get to know him, and help alleviate her fears. At some point, and after much inner turmoil, he falls for Cormia, which brings on a whole new set of problems.
For me, the best part of the book was the John Matthew sub-plot. Lash catches John Matthew, Blay, and Quinn after a training session, and tells JM that he knows all about what happened in the stairwell years before. With the animosity that has been growing between the two, it's no surprise how John reacts to this. He and Lash begin fighting, but when Lash pins John Matthew against the wall, Quinn jumps into the action, and the consequences are severe.
Although I found Phury's story line to be a bit lacking, J.R. Ward does keep me wanting to find out more about Lash's fate.
Up Next: The Black Dagger Brotherhood: Lover Avenged (Book 7)
