In celebration of the release of “The King” and the exclusive J.R. Ward interview that I just posted, Penguin (the publisher) would like to offer FIVE lucky commenters here a print copy of the very first book in the series! It’s one of my favorite books in the series and “Wrath” (aka “The King”) is the main character in that one, too. 
Just look at how many of us fell hard for him (and his first book, “Dark Lover” <— P.S. That’s my review from way back when I read this one. 
)
Jean: Started Dark Lover last night….only at 20%….but Wrath just met Beth for the first time….OMG!! I am dying! Okay, I get everyone’s obsession with this series now! I get it, I get it, I get it!!! Kinda reminds me of Madeline Sheehan’s biker books….but these guys….wow, they are just so much more bad-ass (and hot)!
Deniese: …I almost wanted to reach in there and strangle him until I got myself together….WHEW..I swear I’m going to have high blood pressure when this book is over. BDBFAN4LIFE YYYEEEE!!!
Debra: Everything else will be put aside for The King, Wrath is my favorite
See? Best series ever!!! 
And they just keep getting better.
Okay so… how to enter for a chance to win a print copy of “Dark Lover”? If you’ve read the series, let me know your favorite brother. If you haven’t, let me know that, too. That’ll work! And Thursday night (Wednesday April 3rd, 2014) by 10pm EST, I will randomly select five winners.
The winners will be contacted and will have 48hrs to respond with a mailing address, so if you are picked, do not delay or you will lose your chance. These books will be sent to the winners directly by the publisher.
Open to US & Canada only however all are welcome to comment!
I am happily addicted to reading but I need to expend my book energy (especially when one puts me in an emotional frenzy - SO fun!). So, I release my feelings about the stories, by writing them down here. It's my book therapy.

I love John he is my favorite.
I have too many favorites. Love all the books!
I already have this in print.
Too bad they aren’t giving away signed copies or copies of The King. But I loved Dark Lover so I would love to win to pass on my old copy to someone who NEEDS to read this series!
I haven’t read them…..but would love to start ( hint hint )
Oh my goodness, I actually just started reading Dark Lover this morning, the first one I’ve tried. I have now been ignoring all my homework for school that is due because I am loving Wrath. I would love to have a print copy, I think, ok I know, I am now hooked. Thanks for the chance! caraolson24@yahoo.com
WOW! Awesome giveaway!! Just love this series and if I have to pick (which is soooo very hard to do they’re all amazing) I would say Z.
So excited!!! I haven’t read them but have heard wonderful things about it!
I want to read this series so bad and haven’t yet!
Yay!!!!
Great giveaway!! My favorite brother is John Matthew!!!
All of them! But if I had to choose it would be Wrath or Zsadist !!!
I am a Paranormal Virgin. What better series to pop my paranormal cherry than your beloved BDB!
Wrath
Omg… it’s so hard to choose just one brother as a favorite, I love them all. Maybe… Wrath, just a tiny bit more over the others..lol.
I haven’t read these but have been looking in to them.
Man after reading this post I feel like I have been missing out on a major good series! Hope to win so I could start this one.
I have not started this series yet but see all the great reviews and need to start them soon!
I am in love with this series!
Haven’t read them, but would love to! I’ve heard so much good stuff about this series!
Just started the series so too hard for me to choose….but i’m thinking Wrath…or maybe Z… I know I will eventually love all of them!
I pick Wrath and Z. There’s no way I could choose. I LOVE this series. I’ve read every single book and started The King as soon as it hit my kindle. (this is not an exaggeration….I WAITED for it!!!!) I would love to have a print copy.
For anyone who hasn’t read this series, even if you aren’t a “vampire book” fan, you will LOVE this series. It’s deep and raw, and so full of emotions….I just can’t say enough about it.
Wrath was my first love but I have a real sweet spot for Vischous!
And Z…….I just want to hold him. Love this series!
It’s a tie between Wrath and Z
I’ve never read this series but I think I need to start after all the awesome comments I’ve seen about it.
This is my favorite series! I’m so excited for the new release. I love all of the brothers so much, but Z and John Matthew rise above the rest. Thanks for the giveaway!!
I haven’t read this series but after reading your post I think I need to put these on my TBR list ASAP! Maryse, you recommendations never fail me so I hope I win these!
I love this series!
Wrath..and Z…and V – I also really liked Payne’s book, but maybe that was because so much of it was about V!
I’ve only read the first few books in the series and liked Z.
I’ve not read the books but I would like to start!
This series changed my life, as dramatic as that sounds. But I’ve connected with an amazing group of people over the love of books and this series was one of the big ones. I love them all but favs are V and Tohrment.
Would love to read these books.
I am all about Rhage!! And we’ll, lets be honest, I love, love, love, them all. I compare all books against this series and re-read them at least once a year.
like Zsadist
My favorite brother is Z. Great giveaway!
OMG this is amazing!! I haven’t started the BDB series yet but will soon! Thanks for the giveaway!
Z!
I actually just started this book last night, super excited to get into this series afer all of the amazing things I’ve heard about it!!!
I haven’t read the series yet, but they way everybody is so excited about it, I think I may have to give it a try.
I have not read the series yet, but would love too!! Thank you for the chance to win!!!
Tohr and Wrath would be my favourite brothers….
However this whole series has got to be one of my ultimate favourites to date!!
I read the first two, they go so quick. I could always use another copy.
Ooh ooh ooh! Me me me!!!
How come this is the first time hearing if this series??? I must start reading soon!
Ok I’m starting Z’s book…just finished Rhage’s…GAH I love this series…it’s so hard to have The King on my Kindle and not be able to read it yet but that’s okay I have a lot of Brother’s to meet still!!!!!!
I have to say I love Rhage at this point and that might change once I meet the others!!!!
Z will always be my favorite ♥
Pick Me.
Ahhh this is exciting!
I apparently need to read these books! Are they really that amazing?!! I could use an unhealthy dose of amazing
I love z!!!!!!!
Great contest, Maryse!
Zsadist is my absolute favorite, with Rhevenge coming a close 2nd.
3rd place is a tie between Wrath and Rhage.
John is one of my favorites too.:)
Love this series and so excited to read about Wrath again. Hard to pick my favorite but going to have to go with Z:)
I love Phury, Tohr, and Rehv!
Phury is amazing – so helpful to anyone always. He’s generous, loyal, and kind. Which is perfect.
I keep meaning to get back to this series. I only read a few pages of book one, I hear its so good, so I would loved to read it.
Sorry to post twice, but also – Butch. No one else has mentioned him. He’s awesome and shares a lot of the same qualities as Phury.
Rhage!!!
I haven’t ever read a paranormal or vampire book, but I’ll make an exception for this series!!1
Wrath! But I kind of love them all!
Hmmm…..I can’t decide…Wrath was my first choice but then I think of Z…and V…..and Butch…..and Tohr……and Rhev…..and JM….. They’re all good in their own different ways.
I’ve only read this series once- my friend bought all the books and she let me borrow her kindle. I know, amazing friend right!? I would love to read them again, but they are so expensive! J.R. Ward is an amazing author!
My favorite book is Lover Eternal. I LOVED Rhage! I remember in one scene, his dragon comes out and the heroine isn’t afraid at all and goes to him. The other were afraid that he would hurt her but he didn’t. I think he curls up to her and basically acts smitten. It was so sweet.
I also loved Butch. He was very sexy!
I have the books but have just started the series. Need the King the I can read them in order and be my zone for a few weeks. Love,love,love reading a big long series!
Totally a tie between Z and Vischous!!! But how else could I not fall in love with Quinn either?!
My favorite is V! But I also love the relationships between the brothers- Tohrment and V, Wrath and Rhage, It’s hard to pick just one!
Z and Rhage are my favorites
I cannot wait to start this series, Maryse! You have me convinced they will all be my new favorites!
WRATH!!!!
I have not started the series. I would love the opportunity to get addicted.
Have not yet read but I would love to! Thanks for the chance!
My favorite is Z. JM is awesome too!
This is a hard one cause I love them all!! I would choose Wrath or Z
)
LOVE LOVE LOVE THE BDB!!! My favorite brother is Qhuinn or V, or Qhuinn… Oh I can’t decide! I love them both!
My favorite is Qhinn and I loved reading all the books. Yes, every single one!
I have not read this yet …. !!! Please pick me !
My top guys are Zadist and V hands down. I love them so much. I was however dying for LOVER AT LAST. I loved that book. *sigh* I am totally strung out waiting for the UPS man to bring me THE KING
Haven’t read them yet. With all the comments here, I can’t wait to start.
I haven’t started this series yet but it comes HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I haven’t started this series yet…I’m actually afraid b/c there are so many books and it’s highly recommended…which means I will completely withdraw from reality to catchup!
I’ve read them and I’m reading The King. Right.Now. squeeeeeeeeee. (happy dancing). I love them all but its a toss up between Z and Rhage.
Boy it’s hard to pick one!! I guess if forced with picking one or having NONE…. I would say Tohrment.
Hands down Zadist all the way! His story with Bella is a heartbreaker!
I love Z! Thanks for the giveaway!! LOVE the BDB!!
Absolutely one of my favorite series…read them all way back too…I would say Zsadist #1…really like John Matthew too. Close 2nd. Thx for the giveaway Maryse!!
Wrath has and always will be my #1.
Do I have to pick just one?? Can’t I have them all???
I just bought the first the seven books and I haven’t read any yet, but I can’t wait!!!
I love this series!
I LOVE this series. I have all of the hard copies of the books and I am now working on all of he E-books as well. That way I always have them with me. Hands down my favorite is Z.
I haven’t read them yet but practically everyone I know has recommended them to me!! I have a very limited book budget so they are on my tbr waiting to be brought home to me!!
I love this series so much! I’m actually rereading the series before I start The King.
I have so many favorite Brothers, Rhage, Z, Vishous, John, Qhuinn! I love them all, but these guys are my fave.
I am going out on a limb here and say Butch is my fav!! With his boston accent and his big heart what’s not to love!! Let’s not forget to mention he is pretty bad ass about vacuuming up those lessers!!! Human to vampire — puh-lease I need a fan that blows water!!! Hotness!!!
This is such a good series!! Zsadist is my favorite!
I love this series ! I would have to say Wrath is my favorite but Z is a close second ! Thanks for the awesome giveaway
This is one of my favorite series of all time! My favorite brother would have to be Z but Rhage and V are not too far behind.
I just started on book one and I’m hooked! Can’t wait to read about the stories of the brotherhood.
“Z” is my all time favorite. One of my five favorite book boyfriends !
Z is my favorite!!!!
I love all the books but my absolute favorite has to be john’s.
I love the BDB series so much that when I finished all the books that had been published at the time, I continued with other series… Kinda feel like Forresst Gump… i just keep reading instead of running. LOL
New series for me. I AM GAME!
Love this series!! They are alll amazing, but Z will forever have a place in my heart!!!!
Hmmm…like everyone else, I’m a bit stuck since I wouldn’t kick any of them out of bed. I guess Zsadist comes out on top if I have to choose though. *wink
Awesome!!! I love Wrath but my favorite is V!!! <3
Wrath !!! Yum and then Z !!

Favorites: Zsadist and Wrath
Rhev, The Reverend Totes my fav. Close second is Z fo sho!
