Lover Mine
A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood
De : J. R. Ward
Lu par : Jim Frangione
The hot new novel in the Black Dagger Brotherhood by the number-one New York Times best-selling author.
John Matthew has come a long way since he was found living among humans, his vampire nature unknown. Taken in by The Brotherhood, no one could guess what his true history was-or his true identity.
Xhex has long steeled herself against the attraction to John Matthew. Until fate intervenes and she discovers that love, like destiny, is inevitable.

MMMMM WOW...
Of all the brothers I was most excited to see where John Matthew headed, I knew he loved Xhex and always knew her issues where going to be hard to bare, but darn if the young boy alone all his life knew the right moves, He is passionate, loving, strong and one of the kindest brothers, I thought Rev's was my favorite, but JM moved him over lol... This is a spellbounding series, long listening, action packed, nerve racking, sexy, I was sad when it was over, I felt I left my friends behind :(...
It powerful!!!! Jim Frangione voice is hipnotic, strong, soft, sexy,passionated, angry, and humble...
Thank you for a great series....

I find it amazing how J R Ward can continually put out an outstanding novel even after EIGHT! Usually the storyline begins to thin and repeat and suffer after a few books but LOVER MINE is outstanding. Great characters as always, fabulous story line and I enjoy some tears and alternate laugh out loud moments!
Jim Frangione is PERFECTION with his narration! I couldn't imaging a better choice! He is perfect in all ways as he brings me to the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood! If Jim ever stopped narrating I would read it myself not listen to the audio so...keep it going Jim! THANKS!

IM IN LOVE WITH THE BROTHERHOOD!
OMG this is one of the best series I have read. Twilight pales in comparison to these novels. JR Ward brings a wonderful twist to vampires. I also love the masculine characters she has created and the awesome sense of humor she gives each character. I love the story line from start to finish. I am craving more more more after I am done. I cant wait for the next series. It draws you in from the very first book to this book 8 it is awesome!
J.R.Ward sucks you in and leaves you wanting more!
I was hooked with the first book and I just get drawn in deeper and deeper with each new book. Lover Mine is my favorite! I have loved JM since his intro in Lover Eternal and this book just seals the deal!

Consistent writing, somewhat jarring narration.
If you're looking for another steamy Black Dagger Brotherhood book, in the tradition of the other Black Dagger Brotherhood books, this more or less fits the bill - better than some, worse than some - but chances are, you're not buying this to be surprised. I wasn't, and I wasn't disappointed by the plot. Whenever JR Ward takes her story back in time, the writing is stilted - Ward's just not in her element trying to make language or description seem historically accurate. Lots of "verily" or "hereunto" and just random historical accent words that good historical novelists wouldn't dream of using - but chances are, you're not reading the Black Dagger books because of the historical detail either. I wasn't. I wanted a steamy, paranormal, fast-paced adventure/sex/love story, and that's what you get.
However, the narration was a little jarring. Clearly the narrator would have been better suited to reading Thomas Hardy or Mark Twain or one of the other classics. JR Ward writes much of her prose in 21st-century slang, using terms like "fidiot" or "POS", to list a couple of the more vanilla. The prose is sort of a stream-of-consciousness of semi-thug vampires and other supernatural beings. Listening to this narrator try to master the perpetual slang was not unlike listening to an accountant read rap lyrics on public radio. Mostly the extremely correct pronunciations just made me smile - a few times I came close to laughing. If you can get past that, or it doesn't bother you, this book may be worth that credit.
Essentially, no surprises here in terms of what you'd expect from the book, and if you can hang in there with the narration, you'll have a basically satisfying experience.
I love this series and have both re-read and re-listened to all the previous books. However,(1) LM had so many story lines going at once, I stayed frustrated with all the interruptions to "peek" in on what's happening with other characters. (2) The two main characters must have had personality transplants because they were unrecognizable from the characters we came to know and love in previous books (3) the editing on the audiobook was awful. There are loooooong pauses and voice changes where , I'm guessing, errors were corrected. There were even a couple of places where ambient sounds were heard.
I have enjoyed the BDB series so much that it is difficult for me to critize anything J. R. Ward writes and I will continue to buy the BDB books. I just think that this time, the book did not live up to the hype.
WOW! JR does it again! Questions answered~ now we have more.
John Matthew
John Matthew finally gets his girl. The one thing I do enjoy about this series is the continuing story of most of all the BDB characters. We keep riding along on this wave of intrigue, danger and lust. One book rolls right into the next and it's just awesome. It's a no brainer why I have to come back to this series and visit my favorite characters.
Lover Mine: Black Dagger Brotherhood
The story line as always is fantastic... the recording/reader has to many gaps... the pause between the chapters and half way through certain areas makes me think something is wrong with my Ipod. Whom ever did the piecing together of the story/recording .. YOU suck.
J R ward you rock.
Storm Weaver
Overall, a good story
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I've enjoyed the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, and enjoyed watching John Matthew's story develop in this sequel. To be honest, though, the constant sex is getting a bit boring, and I keep skipping over those sections to get to the rest of the story. It was interesting and titillating for the first few books, but by somewhere around book 4, I really was more interested in the stories than in the sexual exploits. I think the stories would be enhanced with more focus on events, actions, and interactions of characters outside of the bedroom.
If you've listened to books by J. R. Ward before, how does this one compare?
This was a decent read, compared to the other books, although I felt like there was more focus on the sex than on truly developing the characters. The stories are starting to feel a bit thin, and like they're more about who is going to have sex with whom, rather than truly exploring the essence of the characters.

Antony Blinken arrived in Israel and will meet Benjamin Netanyahu amid a wave of terror attacks
The US Secretary of State will meet with the Prime Minister on Monday and on Tuesday with the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmud Abbas, before whom will reiterate its request for a de-escalation

US chief of diplomacy Antony Blinken < /b>He arrived in Tel Aviv on Monday for discussions with Israelis and Palestinians, whom he has already urged "not to inflame tensions" after a new spiral of violence.
This visit, the second leg of a lightning tour of the Middle East that began in Egypt, had been planned for some time but took a new turn with the recent bloody escalation of violence in the region.

"It is everyone's responsibility to take measures to defuse tensions instead of inflaming them," the top US diplomat said after landing in Tel Aviv, ahead of his talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas.
Earlier, in Cairo, Blinken had called "all parties to calm down and defuse tensions ", during a press conference with his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shukri, who spoke out for a "fair solution" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, more than ever at a standstill.
Egypt is a historic mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The first Arab country to sign peace with Israel in 1979, and a neighbor of the Gaza Strip, under an Israeli blockade for more than 15 years, Egypt receives both Israeli heads of government and leaders of the different Palestinian parties.

The Egyptian presidency assured this Monday that Cairo "has made efforts in recent days to try to control the increase in tensions" in the region.
Fears of violence out of control
The situation has escalated sharply in recent days amid a wave of terrorist attacks Palestinians.
Following the recent anti-Israeli attacks, the government of Benjamin Netanyahu announced a package of measures to punish Palestinians. relatives of the perpetrators.
Israeli forces sealed off the family home of a Palestinian who killed seven people on Friday outside a synagogue in East Jerusalem, the Israeli-occupied Palestinian part of the Holy City, and plans to destroy the home.
Shooting At Jerusalem Synagogue
This attack occurred the day after an Israeli anti-terrorist operation in Jenin, in the West Bank, in which ten terrorists from the Islamic Jihad group were killed involved in the preparation of attacks.
In response, there were rocket launches from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory followed by a bombardment by the Israeli army against the Palestinian enclave controlled by the terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
On Saturday, a Palestinian wounded two Israelis in East Jerusalem, and on Sunday, Israeli security guards killed a Palestinian terrorist in the West Bank. And on Monday Israeli forces killed a Palestinian terrorist in Hebron, in the southern West Bank.
Blinken plans to reiterate the Netanyahu Monday and then Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas on Tuesday a call for restraint.
Limited expectations
Blinken told the Saudi channel< i> Al Arabiya who wants to "talk with the Israeli government and the leadership of the Palestinian Authority".
"I want to hear what people who are affected by (the conflict) have to say," he said.
Whilethe United States and < b>Egypt are important diplomatic players, for experts the Secretary of State's room for maneuver is limited.
Washington condemned the "heinous" attack on East Jerusalem and urged Netanyahu and Abbas to "take urgent steps to de-escalate the tension", according to the State Department.< /p>

But privately, US officials make no secret of theirfrustration over the escalating and stalemate in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
< p class="paragraph">Though little progress is expected on the de-escalation front, analysts say Washington is trying to re-engage with Netanyahu.
Several officials have been recently in Jerusalem and some experts are talking about a possible visit by Netanyahu to the White House in February.

IDB Circular Economy Conference
The ECCT's Low Carbon Initiative (LCI) was a co-organiser of the "2018 International Conference on the Circular Economy - Linking Innovations and Closing Loops" organised by the Industrial Development Bureau (IDB), under the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) in conjunction with the Taiwan Circular Economy Network and World Economic Forum Global Shapers Taipei Hub. The event featured global and regional expert speakers, including a representative from LCI member Scania, as well as RE100, Apple, Dell, and other prominent global companies and organisations, to showcase circular economy solutions to address the challenges of climate change, waste generation and habitat destruction, which continue to increase. At the event welcome remarks were given by Dr Leu Jang-Hwa, Director General of the IDB, Bodo Kretzschmar, LCI Steering Committee Member and Catherine Nettleton, Representative of the British Office Taipei. The remarks were followed by two sessions of presentations and panel discussions.
The event was aimed at sharing knowledge and promoting international collaboration between European, Taiwanese and American entities regarding the circular economy as well as creating partnerships for future project developments to tackle environmental challenges. Taiwan has made considerable progress in recycling over recent years and the government and leading enterprises are now exploring circular economy models.
In his presentation, Sam Kimmins, Head of RE100, spoke about how the world's most influential companies are committing to getting 100% of their energy needs from renewables including LCI members Ikea, Philips Lighting and Google. In his presentation, Frank Shou, Head of Apple's Environmental Initiatives, Asia Pacific & Japan, expressed Apple's desire to give back by reusing old Apple products that have been thrown away as parts for new products, showing Apple's action on the Circular Economy.
In her presentation, Vivian Tai, Head of Environmental Affairs & Producer Responsibilities for Dell Asia Pacific & Japan, explained Dell's initiative of reusing old motherboards not only in new computers, but by also recycling the gold found in them. In so doing the company has collaborated with actress, entrepreneur and activist Nikki Reed to create a limited edition jewellery line collection titled 'The Circular Collection' by Bayou with Love and Dell. The collection is made in the US and sourced from gold recovered from Dell's recycling programmes. Tai also explained how they are using recovered ocean plastic for the packaging of new products.
In his presentation, Alexander Mastrovito, Head of Sustainable Transport Solutions in Asia & Oceania for Scania, gave a presentation about 'The Future of Mobility,' regarding waste and transportation. He explained how two very different industries could work together to create biofuel from waste to use for vehicles. He gave examples from Stockholm and Jakarta, where waste recycling has been used successfully for transportation.
In the afternoon session, three speakers from Europe gave presentations. John Newton, Associate Director of the Carbon Trust, explained how his organisation is helping companies to design and implement circular economy business models to meet both internal objectives and global climate (Paris Agreement) and development goals (United Nations' Social Development Goals). He noted that China's ban of the importation of plastic waste from abroad for recycling had been a significant blow to the UK given that it previously exported 65% of its collected plastic waste for recycling to China. He went on to give examples of companies that are already implementing circular business models. For example, tool maker Hilti has shifted from just selling tools to providing a "tools on demand" service to customers, which is both appreciated by the customers and profitable for the company.
In his presentation, Ian Humphreys, Director of Operations for International Synergies Limited explained how his company brings different companies together to find and develop circular economy synergies. It does this by analysing every part of each company's supply chain, identifying areas where one company's waste could be another company's raw material and areas where waste can be developed into a profitable additional business line. He went on to give examples of companies that have been assisted to reduce costs and even make revenue from their waste products.
In is presentation, Daniel Welsch, Director of Business Development from Bianna Recycling, talked about his company's sophisticated recycling machinery and system, which is able to process and transform raw municipal waste into usable resources.
