Story
Once upon a cold, dark night, a Russian killer stole me from an alley. I’m dangerous, but he is lethal. I escaped once. He won’t let me do it twice. The revenge is his. The betrayal is mine. But so are the lies to protect the ones I love. We’re cut from the same twisted cloth. Both merciless. Both damaged. In his embrace, I find hell and heaven, his cruelly tender touch destroying and uplifting me at once. They say a cat has nine lives, but an assassin has just one. And Yan Ivanov now owns mine.

Story
The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city. Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts. I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time. Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was.

Story
The Sebastians own this city. Hell, they own the whole world. All I want is one little piece of it, a corner that I can call my own. So when my boss runs away to “find herself”, I seize the opportunity and dive head first into the Sebastian’s glamorous universe. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted - fast paced and high stakes - and, even though I don’t fit in, I’m excellent at faking it. Until I come face-to-face with the man in charge, Scott Sebastian, the arrogant playboy heir with the mind of a devil and the body of a god and a mouth I can’t stop thinking about.

Story
My love story all started with a letter. Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for. You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months. So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father.

Story
Edward Fasbender is a devil. He’s my father's biggest rival. He takes what he wants, and he bows to no one. And now Edward Fasbender wants me. I didn’t expect to want him back. Having him is not in the cards, not when a union with him would destroy my father. But that doesn’t mean I can’t play with him a bit. Except, I’ve never played against such a ruthless opponent. Edward is cold and vicious, and my blood has never run hotter. They say you should choose the devil you know, but I've always preferred long odds. Even if it'll get me slain.

We talked and laughed, and something clicked. Fate took over and the plane was grounded, and we had an unexpected stopover for the night. With no plans, we made our own.

I had a plan to escape the friend zone. Step one: sneak into Reed’s room. Step two: sleep with him. But when the lights turned on, it wasn’t familiar blue eyes I saw. These were dark, angry, and full of demons. And they belonged to Reed’s much-older brother. Four years later, Nash Prescott is no longer the help’s angry son. I’m no longer the town’s prized princess. At 22, I’m broke, in need of a job. At 32, he’s a billionaire, in need of revenge.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

So whiny
The girl is such a whiny spoiled little snot with her head so far shoved in the sand she doesn't know which way is up or down. Yes I know she's supposed to be "conditioned" this way, but there are so many times she contradicts her thoughts on things it just made want to slap some sense into her.

Amazing story
I loved this book. Fascinating heroine and lovable hero. Blood curdlingly terrifying villain. The culminating torture scenes pushed me a little too far. I had to skip about five minutes. Not for those with delicate sensibilities. This said I still really enjoyed it! More than I probably should.
