On the run from a destiny of sexual servitude, he\u2019s never been able to rely on anyone&#8230;except for his brother, iAm.<\/p>\n<p>iAm\u2019s sole goal has always been to keep his brother from self-destructing\u2014and he knows he\u2019s failed. It\u2019s not until the Chosen Selena enters Trez\u2019s life that the male begins to turn things around&#8230;but by then, it\u2019s too late. The pledge to mate the Queen\u2019s daughter comes due, and there is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and no negotiating.<\/p>\n<p>Now Trez must decide whether to endanger himself and others\u2014or abandon the female he loves. When tragedy strikes and changes everything, iAm, in the name of brotherly love, is faced with making the ultimate sacrifice&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Twinsie Jo&#8217;s Review:<\/p>\n<p>My heart is heavy. My heart is full. But&#8230;heavy. Oh gosh the feels. So going into this story we know that Selena is sick. We all have hopes of her making it and spending the rest of eternity with Trez right? I guess you need to read to find out what actually happens. It makes sense. Everything works out. Some people were surprised and maybe even mad but I get it. Is that a big enough hint for you? That&#8217;s all I&#8217;m saying. If you haven&#8217;t started this series but love paranormal romance, you really should read these books. I love them. Most of the Twinsie Girls love them as well. That&#8217;s also how some of us &#8220;met&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I think out of this whole book, iAm&#8217;s happy is my favourite part. That&#8217;s all I&#8217;m saying over that as well.<\/p>\n<p>I loved seeing everyone. We got more info into Rhage and Mary, getting ready for The Beast which just came out yesterday. Hopefully it won&#8217;t take me another year. Lol.<\/p>\n<p>As always, I think the only issues I have with these later books is how many POV&#8217;s there are. I get why it happens but I always find that I want to skip ahead to get to the main couple. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m not the only one. But all in all, I of course love this story and look forward to The Beast.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=ss_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=twintalk-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B00LTZQOZA&amp;asins=B00LTZQOZA&amp;linkId=JCQ7PNEWRMR6R6ZV&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The #1 New York Times bestselling author returns to the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood as two brothers bound by more than blood fight to change a brutal destiny.
