I've finished "Lover Revealed" the 4th book in her Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward.
Product Description
In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly war raging between vampires and their slayers. And there exists a secret band of brothers like no other - six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Now, an ally of the Black Dagger Brotherhood will face the challenge of his life and the evil of the ages. Butch O'Neal is a fighter by nature. A hard living, ex-homicide cop, he's the only human ever to be allowed in the inner circle of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. And he wants to go even deeper into the vampire world - to engage in the turf war with the lessers. He's got nothing to lose. His heart belongs to a female vampire, an aristocratic beauty who's way out of his league. If he can't have her, then at least he can fight side by side with the Brothers ... Fate curses him with the very thing he wants. When Butch sacrifices himself to save a civilian vampire from the slayers, he falls prey to the darkest force in the war. Left for dead, found by a miracle, the Brotherhood calls on Marissa to bring him back, though even her love may not be enough to save him.

My Review:
I feel so sorry for Butch because he had a broken childhood, use to have a coke addiction, got kicked off the police force and is recently an alcoholic. His life even gets worse when the Lessers kidnap him, beat and torture him and the kicker is when the Omega puts a piece of himself in his stomach. He starts blood and other fluids start spewing black and he gains some interesting powers.
During his recovery he runs into Marissa the beautiful vampire he has been pining for in the last couple of books. There is a misunderstanding between them which her brother Haven set up so Butch thinks Marissa doesn't want anything to do with him.
For me I didn't really feel the connection between Butch and Marissa (well more on Marissa's part). I felt the connection more between Butch and V (which I think it was getting to close for comfort between them).
3.5/5
