Publisher's summary

From top 100 and international Amazon best-selling author Anita Gray comes an emotionally addictive dark romance series of suspense, hope, and true love.

“Captivating Dark Romance,” says Anna Zaires, New York Times best-selling author.

Bought. Conditioned. Sold to the enemy.

My name is Blaire. I'm head of security to a man who controls the Russian underworld in Europe. His name is Maksim, and he's my master. He bought me 10 years ago and conditioned me with brutality to worship and protect him. And I have protected him. I've slain everyone who has tried to do him harm. Everyone but a man he loans me to; a man who threatens to break me and everything in which I believe.

You're going to need a strong stomach and a strong heart to follow my story, because take my word for it, it's no fairy tale.

Blaire is part one in the Dark Romance series.

BLAI2E, part two in the Dark Romance series, is out now on eBook (enrolled in KU), and it is available in paperback. Audiobook coming soon.

BLAIR3, part three in the Dark Romance series, coming soon.

BL4IRE, part four in the Dark Romance series, coming soon.

In Mother Russia, Book hates you.

She was tortured. We get it. She loves Charlie. We get it. She's a warrior..WE GET IT!! People criticize J. R. R. Tolkien for how descriptive he was. At least he didn't repeat the same exact paragraph, action for action, with different words ,over and over and over again. This series forced me to skip chapters, AND I COULD STILL KEEP UP! Ms. Anita has the writing capabilities of Stephanie Meyer. Not good.

I love everything about Blaire

For the lovers of dark and erotic this series is a must read.
Blaire is a strong and powerful female character.
the way anita gray writes this story pulls you in amd doesn't let you go you are addicted to every word.
I can't wait to listen to the rest of the series on audible as well.
I read first 2 books on kindle but the audible version gets you even more a part of this story brings you to another depth all together.

Speechless

Wow.....I wanted a listen that wasn’t the same old thing, dear lord be careful what you wish for!!!! While listening to this book, I felt I needed a prescription for anti-anxiety medication.

The writing was incredible and narration the same. Just downloaded the second book, I will probably be an alcoholic after I finish it!

Oh but it is Dark!

This book was so dark, sad, empowering and so much more. I can't believe it is over. I need more. I love the narrator and the story was wicked. Blair is innocent and a monster all at once but so glad she was ...well I won't tell the story. What a book!

Loved it. But it’s up to what you think of dark romance

This story was very good. The hero and heroine were not the typical helpless female and alpha hero to the rescue. The two leading characters were unique as were their obsticals. That is not to say that the hero wasn’t alpha. This male lead was no wimp but the heroine is surprisingly different.the other characters were also excellent. Suffice to say that this is a romance that is surprisingly and pleasantly different. Hard to put down. Caution: violent sex with the possibility of triggers.

Don't waste your time

First off, I was disturbed and stressed out because of the fact that we're dealing with a young sex slave here people...!!! I was looking for a sexy romance to escape to and I found myself losing sleep because I was pissed off for most of it. AND like one of the other reviewers said, there was so much repetition of the conundrum she was facing because she was wired to live that life, that the book could have been cut in half. There may have been a couple of minutes in the whole thing that were worth listening to and sorta steamy. otherwise it was annoying. Can anyone actually recommend a good one?!

interesting story but hard to digest

This book was interesting to say the least, Blaire is a young women who is a hacker and trained assassin/body guard for Maksim the man who "bought" her when she was a child. He beats and molests her, brainwashing her into obeying his every command, when she meets Charlie her conditioning cant change her reactions towards him or the feelings she develops, through a plot twist Charlie ends up gaining "ownership" of her for 3 months. during that time he tries to show her a world where she is free to live how she wants. The story line is crazy, I mean when you get down to it Maksim completely ruined her and it's absolutely heart wrenching listening to her truly believe there is no other life for her. It's hard to listen to to be honest, it's so frustrating that she won't leave maksim, and I had to constantly remind myself of the programming her brain had been through. I've read mixed reviews and havent decided if I will read part 2. I'm goona wait till my next credit and see how I feel!

Trash

Trashy content and poor writing. There are so many other great books out there. Don’t read this one.

definitely dark

this is much more than a dark romance. Its for sure erotic, but I didnt find this to be romantic really at all... which is fine for me. I like dark tales. Ofcourse this is just the 1st part of the series and I am getting ready to listen to the next one.
