Story
The last place Ivie expects to be approached by a devastatingly handsome male is in a crowded, smoky cigar bar rarely frequented by vampires - yet here he stands. Silas is flirtatious, gallant, and, above all, mysterious. Ivie is anything but. A nurse at the healer’s clinic and the daughter of a biker, Ivie is accustomed to speaking her mind. So she does. Since aristocrats rarely pick up females of her class, Ivie asks Silas just what kind of game he thinks he’s playing.

Redemption isn't a word Jim Heron knows much about - his specialty is revenge, and to him, sin is all relative. But everything changes when he becomes a fallen angel and is charged with saving the souls of seven people from the seven deadly sins. Vin diPietro long ago sold his soul to his business, and he's good with that - until fate intervenes in the form of a tough-talking Harley-riding, self-professed savior.

In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

Publisher's Summary
Ever since the birth of his daughter, Nalla, Zsadist has been regressing further and further into the life he led before he met Bella, his beautiful shellan. He has been waking up in cold sweats due to nightmares from his past, hasn't made love to his wife, and won't hold his baby girl, for fear that he might hurt her. While Nalla's presence had consisted of only joy and excitement in first couple months of her life, now it seems to be driving the couple apart. Bella is afraid that she and Nalla just may need to leave her hellren.
But then Zsadist gets injured on a mission to fight the lessers and because he hasn't been feeding from Bella, almost loses his life. Could this near-death experience create the motivation to pull this couple back together? Or has the gap between them spanned too far for redemption?

SHORT YES, BUT PACKED FULL O’ FEELS
I’ve devotedly followed the BDB since the very first book.. addicted to JR Ward’s unique style of narrative, her creative world-building, her dedicated alpha warrior heroes and strong independent heroines, their romantic yet difficult and very different struggles and the bloody war against the evil Omega and his Lessers. And they’re all long weighty multi-scened stories from multiple POV’s.. but this little story digs deep and touches your heart as Bella and Zsadist struggle with a broken relationship in crisis. The birth of their daughter Nalla has brought Z’s dark demons of being a hundred year blood slave back with crippling results. But, through this gifted author’s emotionally raw tale, Z’s near-death end-date after a battle with Lessers, gets him back on track to seek the help, love and support that heals his physically and emotionally tortured mind, body and soul before it’s too late. And what shines throughout is love.. love for his chosen mate, love for her tortured mate and love for their new baby daughter Nalla and, as the pieces are skilfully put back solid, a father lovingly holds his baby for the first time. Jim Frangione IS the talented voice of the Black Dagger Brotherhood and I truly can’t imagine anyone else bringing these loveable dominant vampire warriors and their rollercoaster stories to life. WORTH A CREDIT? Emotionally intense, heartbreaking, heartwarming, sensual, uplifting, beautiful, passionate, pure, compelling and YES, IMO, definitely creditworthy.

Father Mine
Heart breaking but also soul mending. Zsadist has so much pain in him, I didn’t fault him for not being able to give more of himself even to his own child right away. He was protecting her and that is what a true father does.
Bella was as understanding as she could possibly be but I had to agree with her choice and it was just the thing to wake Z up. He might have come around on his own but it could have taken a lot longer.
I loved the first time he holds Nalla it was magical.
Great story so, so glad we finally got to hear it on audio with Jim as he is the Brothers to me.

Black Dagger Brotherhood
Loved this book!! I love every BDB book that has come out. Even the side stories are amazing. the only one I struggled with is the one with Angel s in it but I didn't give up and it really paid off. Got to know a new main character, Devina. Can't wait to see what she is going to do. so I would read that series in order of the BDB. Just look up the reading order. Anything relating to Zsadist and Bella is great!!!!!

A True Look At Truama and Healing
I must admit that this book gives deeper. broader look not only into the relationship between Zsadist and Bella right after the birth of their daughter, but also a look into the struggles both Zsadist and Bella faced in their relationship and as parents because of a traumatic event that marked Zsadist both mentally and physically. I am glad that in the end, Bella did not leave Zsadist (Taking Nalla), and he was able to work through this trauma not only for his sake, but for his Shellan and Nalla's. Good Book

Well done to the author on another great read.
Love this. It's a short story that gives you a deeper look into Z and how he copes after Nalla's birth. It lets you dive a bit further into the handsome, fearsome, dark brother's inner thoughts. It gives you a chance to get to know him more than you already do. It also allows you some time to learn more about Bella, their relationship and his relationship with their daughter. I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to reading more of the series.
Below are my thoughts while reading. **Contains some spoilers.**
My heart is breaking for Bella and Z right now. Z is just as obsessive as Phury sometimes, though his obsession come from a different place. Z needs to wake up to reality before he loses everything.
It's not just his insecurities, though. Bella is dealing with her own insecurities as a result of her childhood and Z's distant behavior.
Wow, that's a hell of a dream.
So glad that Z is willing to get better in regards to Nalla.
Sad that the laser treatments didn't work on Z's tattoes, but hopefully he'll be able to move past his hangups now.
I could have done without a lot of the content in chapter nine, mainly the run-on info about the doctor, TW. I mean, I like a little background but there was a lot more than that. I think the detailed description about the office was a bit too much. However, I liked the scenes between TW and his wife. I wonder if having so much info about him means he'll be back in another story later in the series.
Hearing the scene where Z held Nalla for the first time made me smile and I admit I shed a few tears in happiness.
It's interesting to see how many issues the two were able to discuss and come to terms with throughout this story.
It's interesting that Z said that Wrath outlawed slavery as a mating gift to him and Bella. I thought it was said in an early story that it was already illegal. I guess I could be mistaken.
I like how Mary got him through the talk by simply asking him questions.
I like how the story ends six months later, showing that Z did in fact get better and that his sessions with Mary had continued.

Love BDB
Zsadist story is such a sad story but well written. Zsadist and Bella's story is one of a women in love and a male torn and broken. Her love saves him, and the baby is a bonus. I love this series and have listened to the entire series (several times). I am currently listening to "The King" as I type.
The voice of the narrator has captured my heart and does the story justice. If you want to spend your credit's wisely the BDB series is well worth your time.
