About this deal

This is a female lead that can either be a Mary Sue, a Jerk Sue or a Sympathetic Sue. Just an FYI, most writers go with a Mary, as the ideal of women remaining virgins until they find “The One” is allegedly still vastly appealing to the masses. I suggest creating a heroine that’s never even been attracted to a man before. It makes it seem more like it's fate when she meets the male lead and less like you’re trying to shove antiquated beliefs down your reader’s throats. Sex. Add it. Lots of it. On a bed, in the bathroom of a club, a stairwell, an alleyway, you get the drift. Just know that the more you mix it up, the better. Repetition is the bane of the sex scene’s existence. Also, we’d really appreciate it if you could avoid using these phrases: On top of all that, there is a war raging with a group called the Lessers who are hell-bent (pun intended) on destroying the Brotherhood and vampires in general.

Ruthless and brilliant, Vishous, son of the Bloodletter, possesses a destructive curse and a frightening ability to see the future. As a pretrans growing up in his father's war camp he was tormented and abused. As a member of the Brotherhood, he has no interest in love or emotion, only the battle with the Lessening Society. But when a mortal injury puts him in the care of human surgeon, Dr. Jane Whitcomb compels him to reveal his inner pain and taste true pleasure for the first time—until a destiny he didn't choose takes him into a future that cannot include her... Have the bad guy kidnap the heroine. Feel free to let him slap her around a little and hint at the terrible things he’s going to do to her but don’t get too carried away here as you may offend those with delicate sensitivities. Just before the villain can carry out these dastardly plans, have the hero save your Mary Sue. What? Well yes that’s a little damsel-in-distress-ish but trust me on this, everyone else is doing it too and no one’s complaining about it yet. You want readers or not, lady? The only purebred vampire left on earth, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who murdered his parents centuries ago. But, when one of his most trusted fighters is killed-leaving his half-breed daughter unaware of his existence or her fate-Wrath must usher her into the world of the undead-a world of sensuality beyond her wildest dreams. Havers' plot to kill Wrath II fails and is revealed. Wrath II decides to allow Havers to live, despite his treasonous ways, and Wrath II steps down from active duty as a Brother in the field and steps into the role of King of his people full-time. You will lose yourself in this world; it is different, creative, dark, violent, and flat-out amazing.”—All About Romance

Emotionally cripple the male. He shouldn’t believe in love. Not until he sees your Mary Sue. When he finally lays eyes on her however, you can take that caveman frown and turn it upside down. I suggest blaring Foreigner’s I Wanna Know What Love Is on repeat while writing this scene as it will really help you capture the emotion your readers should be feeling at this point. A dynamite new vampire series—delicious, erotic, and thrilling! J. R. Ward has created a wonderful cast of characters, with a sexy, tormented, to-die-for hero…a fabulous treat for romance readers!”— New York Times bestselling author Nicole Jordan You know, I was har-har-harring in both amusement and disbelief when I read that..well..nonsense. BUT when you consider that Rhage is just one of the 6 brothers and there are actually 5 more Chippendales in line, waiting to be introduced in painful flowery language as well, let's just say I wasn't laughing anymore. Realization hit me; I actually paid 11 euro's for this trash, which was exactly what I paid for Let the Right One in as well. And there you have it; there is no justice in this world.

The Jeweler of Stolen Dreams is a book that resonated for me- and also haunted me. Following two story lines, one set in 1986, and the other in occupied France in 1942, there is a expert interweaving of historical fact and the kind of fiction that is The Jeweler of Stolen Dreams is a book that resonated for me- and also haunted me. Following two story lines, one set in 1986, and the other in occupied France in 1942, there is a expert interweaving of historical fact and the kind of fiction that is so well constructed and executed, that it feels like real life. Suzanne Belperron, one of the great innovators of jewelry design, and a personal icon of mine, is depicted with painstaking accuracy (thanks to extensive research) in the forties- and our contemporary heroine, Violine Duplessi, carries the story into the eighties. Tied together by missing jewels, there is danger, romance and mystery-and also a wonderful paranormal element that, no surprise, really speaks to me. The only purebred vampire left on the planet, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who murdered his parents centuries ago. But when one of his most trusted fighters is killed- orphaning a half-breed daughter unaware of her heritage or her fate - Wrath must usher the beautiful female into the world of the undead… J. R. Ward takes you deep into her intense, dark world of vampires and holds you captive until her last breathless word….Sure to satisfy lovers of vampire romance everywhere.”—Affaire de CoeurYour male lead should be over six feet tall, have dark hair, tattoos and so much testosterone-inflated muscle that he has to walk through doors sideways. The less he talks, the better. In every scene that you’re tempted to give him dialogue, instead make him brood over something. You’re going for caveman here, modern women don’t want a partner that can communicate feelings or sympathize with emotions. We just want someone who can bench press twice our body weight. Mary Luce, a survivor of many hardships is unwittingly thrown into the vampire world and reliant on Rhage's protection. With a life-threatening curse of her own, Mary is not looking for love. She lost her faith in miracles years ago. But when Rhage's intense animal attraction turns into something more emotional, he knows that he must make Mary his alone. And while their enemies close in, Mary fights desperately to gain life eternal with the one she loves... Wrath took Beth to Darius' mansion, which she learned she inherited along with his considerable wealth. There she finds many photographs of herself and one of her human mother. Fritz was overjoyed to meet her and told her of how Darius followed her life, obtaining her grades and arranging for her to be moved from potentially abusive foster homes. Fritz himself attended her graduation to take pictures. Rhage was there, stitching up an injury, which disturbed her. At one point, she woke up to Zsadist standing over her and asking Wrath if he was going to share her.

In this "frighteningly addictive" paranormal romance saga there's a war raging between vampires and their slayers. Here are the stories of a secret band of brothers like no other—six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. And now a dutiful twin must choose between two lives...In Caldwell, New York, war rages between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brothers—six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Now the cold heart of a cunning predator will be warmed against its will... Mary "Cherry Pie" Mulcahy (a prostitute who Beth knew growing up in foster homes, murdered by Mr. X)

Rhage was a towering male, big, powerful, stronger than all the other warriors. He was also a sex legend in the vampire world. Hollywood beautiful with the drive to rival a barnful of stallions. Females, vampire and human alike, would trample their own young to get at him. But when Rhage's beast came out everyone looked for shelter and took up praying." And as if that isn't hilarious enough, Ward just doesn't get enough of superlatives to describe how extremely dangerous her vampires - a bunch of interchangeable Conans the Barbarian - actually are. Allow me to quote:

About J.R. Ward:

While Beth was briefly alone with the Brotherhood, they surrounded her and drew their knives, terrifying her. They all knelt and plunged their daggers into the floor. When Wrath returned, he smiled and told her that they like her. This book has flaws. The Lesser arc is kind of annoying if you’re like me and you only care about the romance because some chapters focus primarily on building that side of the story. The characters are also so very flawed, but I really liked that about them. The boys definitely struggle with toxic masculinity as they learn how to deal with the women in their lives, but at the end of the day, they are fiercely protective and honestly pretty endearing. I love the brother bond between them and the moments where they are major dorks. Some of my favorite male fictional characters are protective dorks! I definitely have a type. Wrath releases Marissa from their engagement and Havers plots with Lessers to have Wrath killed for the disgrace to Marissa.
