Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

I'm starting this challenge with the whole cast of JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood.

Our first character is Wrath from Dark Lover. Blind King, the last purebred vampire, and hellren to Beth.

Height: 6'9
Weight: 273 lbs
Hair Color: Black, straight, down to small of back
Eye Color: pale green

I don't have my book to pull a description, so I'm copying this one from JR Ward's site.

"He’s wearing shitkickers, black leather pants and a black button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up. I can see the tattoos that run up the undersides of his forearms; they’re black and very finely done, spelling out his lineage in the Old Language. His black hair is long, down past his shoulders. It’s straight. Shiny. He’s got a spectacular widow’s peak. As usual, his eyes are hidden behind wraparounds because his pupils do not process light well and he is all but blind. His features are aristocrat, but the strength of his body is that of a fighter. He is tremendous in size. Overwhelming."

EDIT: Here is the actual description from the book.

Wrath was six feet, nine inches of pure terror dressed in leather. His hair was long and black, falling straight from a widow's peak. Wraparound sunglasses hid eyes that no one had ever seen revealed. Shoulders were twice the size of most males. With a face that was both aristocratic and brutal, he looked like the king he was by birthright and the soldier he'd become by destiny.

One pic/image per post.

He doesn't have green eyes but the hair....

[image error]

He will do Ill take him, Thanks

I don't know, he doesn't quite have that total bad ass feel that Wrath should have.

I haven't found any pix that scream Wrath to me, but booooy have I had fun looking. There are some yummy yummy photos floating around on that interweb thing.

I know...great excuse to ogle some hotties..LOL

How about this one?

OK, I need the websites - since Im at home on a Saturday evening, I deserve some fun

Oh Yeah Yz I can seriously deal with Type O Negative's Lead singer Peter Steele. All 6'6" of him. Saying he is only one year older than me

Christel,

He seems to be a popular choice for Wrath among BDB fans, so I googled him to see some pictures. Now, I see what the fuss is all about.

How about this one

Here is a better one of Pete

*fans herself* Hot, Christel!

Or what about this one

I have more for each character

LOL..I'm sure you have...that's why I thought I'll launch this challenge with the Brothers first, because many fans have already done their "homework" so to speak...LOL

I know where some really good pics of Pete are. His playgirl spread WOW!!

Never read that series, but thanks for the pictures. The first one is my favorite so far. *g*

No problem, mlady_rebecca. Maybe this can be incentive to check the series. I'm a self-confessed BDB addict, so you'll forgive me for the plug.

Also, for those who are not familiar with the character, I will try to put a physical description at the beginning of the thread to, more or less. guide eveybody on what the book says about the character.

omg /fans self
Just wow, that first one wow... have I said wow yet?..... WOW..

Couldn't have put it better, Tricia. That's an AWESOME shot.

But #10 has it's appeal as well (I'm thinking nipple piercings).

omg I'm with Kasia - I'm sold on the nipple piercings. yeah - I don't think I saw any before or after that LOL my sister, who says bookclubs are for geeks (I hesitate to remind her she reads as much as I do), just caught a look of the hottie in the sand and is sold on bookclubs LOL Is a pity we can't find one of them IN the shitkicker boots and leathers *sigh*

The 1st one you posted YZ....WOW!! lol

I'm with Nichole:: i have a picture of Wrath well heck all the brothers, in my mind:: so i suppose no one will ever match that image:: doesn't mean to say i can't have fun looking tho' :)
Anyone seen the you tube pictures on Sherrlyn Kenyons site::someone has posted a whole stream of photos for each of the Dark Hunter books::can't think of a better way to while away 10 mins or so of your life:)

Well here is one in boots

Does leather chaps count??

Not a new face....but with long hair...can be a candidate..

Yep Banderas would work

omg the boots one and the chaps LOL wow

Here's my pick. I think he'd look more brutal if he had on the sunglasses. I like the little smirk he's got going on. It's like he's thinking to himself "I could so kick the crap out of you right now if I wanted to"

i found this one.. what do u think??

i found this and had to share i hope its ok..

This is funny, Stephanie. Now I'm trying to figure who is who.

From Left to right: Zsadist, Phury, Tohr, Wrath, Rhage, Vishous and Butch.

What do you think?

Phury's hair is supposed to be 3 vibarant different shades liked streaks so they got that all wrong.

its cute though.

HOT!

I so wish I read Dark Lover, then I'd be getting all those references...

Kasia you HAVE to read Dark Lover. You'll be addicted.

maybe later in the books Phury has normal hair... who knows.

but i think u got it right Yz. on who is who.... if i had to guess thats what i would of guessed..

god I hope not his hair the way she describes it form the start is so beautiful.

No..guys, Phury's hair remains multicolored..and is beautiful throughout all the books..

Well there is Z's book.. but I wont really mention much about that. But the colors of his hair dont change.

Havent finished the series yet tho :P

Hmmm - I think the third one from the left is Butch, just because his clothes look a bit nicer, but for the most part I have no idea. Yz is probably right.
But maybe the one on the right is JM? Sheesh. They really should have labeled them.

LOL! Omg, I'm laughing so hard at ya'll, I'm looking around my empty house just to make sure nobody hears me (or ogles the hotties over my shoulder)! :O) I'm very glad I'm starting this series for April.

Hi Stephanie - I think you're sunglassed dude is closest to Wrath in my head - the others are too clean... not soldiers.
They looked like Hollywood versions of tough guys, and not the sort of guy you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley.
Pouting - rather than menacingly brooding... if that makes sense!

Hi Can't think of what to write 'cos i'm laughing so much::infact i'm verging on an hysterical fit of non-stop roll around on the floor and pee yourself kind of hysterics:oh dear: need to calm down a bit:)::any way have any of you lovely poeple seen the videos of *The Black Dagger Brotherhood Men* (found this via book discription for The Insiders Guide)::Christian Bale and some other hotties are there:: ::OMG theres some good stuff going on there::i'll say no more::

LOL, love this thread. My friend and I tried to come up with a cast list for the brothers (and their shellans), and Wrath is the one I have yet to find. I'll keep looking, and enjoy your posts in the mean time. Oh, and I loved the drawing. I'm not 100% sure which one is which, but I love it none the less!

LOL...Glad you guys, are enjoying this thread.

Oh, if you have plenty of time, just visit youtube and there are plenty of interesting videos on how fans picture in their heads the brothers and their shellans.

LOL..I've discarded JM as a choice because technically he is not a Brother yet.

This is awesome...this is way awesome. Thank you for starting this thread!

Glad you like it...more brothers to come..so keep visiting

I plan to launch a Character thread every week.

I looked at a bunch of those on YouTube and I really liked them, but the problem is, I think, I want unknowns. I looked at the one with TheRock, and I was like, no...that's the Scorpion King... and the one with Vin Diesel, I was going naww... that's the Pacifier.. ROFL.

But I love them... too much fun!
