Lover Awakened follows the brother that I was most interested in as a character in the first book; Zsadist. His past is revealed and we learn why he’s like he is and the reality behind his reputation. With a background of abuse, the other brothers think he’s beyond redemption but Bella won’t give up on him. This was my favourite book of the series so far; Zsadist’s reluctance in the sex department prevents some of the over-the-top sex scenes as well.
