Now, I belong to Charlie Decena, by nature and by nurture. He broke everything I believed in. My life still lingers in the gray zone — dark and light, love and hate, betrayal and … the gray zone — dark and light, love and hate, betrayal and murder.
I’m battling Maksim’s brutal conditioning to uncover who Blaire is, for Charlie. I adhere to his counsel, indulge in his debauched desires, and pacify his dominance
— until he pushes me too far.
I hope I didn’t completely shatter your heart in the beginning of my story because it’s just getting started. I’m being tested beyond my limit by a lurking threat who has taken something very dear to me. And if they don’t return what isn’t theirs, someone is going to die.more
I was completely drawn into Blaire and Charlie’s world. It’s dark and twisted and unpredictable. Their emotional roller coaster left me feeling raw and gutted and wanting more. Blaire’s struggle to find her place as Charlie pushes to deprogram Maksim’s years of conditioning while outside factors threaten their lives and their future. This story is fast paced and all consuming. I look forward to the next book in this amazing series.
Love this one as much as I loved the first one.. It was so good I was not able to put it down.. I was able to read it in one sitting..
I hope Charlie redeems himself in book 3…
5 stars isnt enough for this mind blowing book. i was on the edge of my seat reading this story and was very captavied by this read that i cant wait from the next book. this book is a strong dark read that had me having hard time getting started in a new book. this will take you on a mind twisted ride that will have your emionals on a ride that will have you feeling like you are out of control
I am almost speechless at the intensity of emotions this author brings out of me with this book. Blaire is so damaged yet innocent in so many ways. My heart lays shattered in a million pieces after I finished reading this. Her happiness seems so fleeting I just wanted to grab onto it with both hands for her. The first book left me reeling but this book destroyed me. I am not sure if I or Blaire can take much more. To be continued…..
This book left me devastated. Blaire and Charlie were so happy, and is they’re over
I am so mad at Luna for what she did to cause the chain of events that unfolded. My heart is broken. I hope they can work o themselves and get back to being happy, because they both deserve it so much
I have no idea when book 3 is coming out, but I need it ASAP please and thanks
Gutted!! That is what this book has done to me. My mind is in a totally head spin right now! Picking right it left off, Blaire finds out that not has she been stolen but is now being sold into human trafficking with James. Charlie, being who he is, is in the war path looking for her. To stop Charlie from destroying everything in the trade, they release Blaire to stop him with conditions for the safety of James. But when Charlie gets back Blaire he will stop at nothing to protect her or let her go.
Blaire is still bad a$$ to be 18. Which was so hard sometimes to remember when reading with her mindset along with everything she has already been through.
We get to see a different side to Charlie this time and let me tell you it is completely darker than what you read in the first book. All those questions you have in the beginning comes to light. Along with his family, which is completely another story, they try to help the situation with Blaire.
That END though….. Crying, mad, heartache!!! You killed me!!! So now I have to patiently wait for the third book and kinda want to go into hiding!
WOW, this book was so action packed I don’t know where to start. I fell in love with the main characters, the author painted such a vivid picture. This book was very dark, but made you understand the actions of the characters. I would love another book in this series, it ended too soon. I need to know what Blaire does next. Truly a great read.
What a rollercoaster ride and absolutely gutwrenching. The storyline holds your attention and keeps you on the edge of your seat and waiting to see what happens next. I cheered for Charlie and Blaire and my chest tightened at the struggles they go through. This scenes in this book are dark, disturbing and devastating, but there’s also joy, and love. I look forward to seeing what happens next.
This part two of Charlie and Blaire’s story has a different tone and feeling from the first story as Blaire learns emotions and how handle them. The story is still through her POV. We learn a lot of what has happened with our characters and their psychotics deeds. Villains and heroes are revealed as our drama unfolds. I don’t think part 2 is as strong as part 1 but with all the emotional chaos & drama, I believe it held its own weight. I know I cried during Blaire’s depression scene (once you read you’ll know why). So much sadness and the ending does not have a HEA but it is left open interpretation. I do know it makes me cheer for them to be happy. There is a bonus scene in my copy that is from Charlie’s POV and it is his initial meeting with Blaire. Very enlightening.
What a hell of a story. I did not know the Los Zetas were so cruel. This book is very action packed. There is a lot killing, sex and adventure. It is a cliff hanger and I cannot wait until Book three comes out to see what happens to Blaire and Charlie. Very well written. Enjoy
This is the next chapter from Blaire’s journey…when you think its over.. you were wrong.. the thrill and emotion will keep you guessing what is going to happen next?
Blaire slowly thawing from her state of denial.. clinging to certain hope of everything can be solve.. she was wrong.. her struggle to feel.. Charlie Decena is her anchor when everything was falling apart…
This book isnt short of drama… its not action where gun blazing like Rambo or so.. but it will mess your emotion up.. the struggle to love.. Blaire wasnt easy person for… Im in an alert mode that she will be done.. she keep challenging me.. amaze me with her innocent in a way.. even Blaire deserve love… I felt loss and heartbroken…
Anita, you are one unique Author.. the way, you messed with my feeling.. its like my heart is being gripped and squeezed…it hurt and yet petted on the same time.. gosh im utterly defendless with this…
WOW! I will admit Blai2e took me a while to read but totally worth it. This book is dark, twisted, intense, suspense, anxiety and many mix emotions from love to tears and heartbreak. I love the journey of Charlie and Blaire’s story and looking forward to what Anita will have in store for us in book 3.
I need a moment to wipe the tears from my cheeks and process the ache in my chest … our honey bee deserved the daMN fairy tale… she earned it
I had so much hope at the end of book one – I sit here now cuddling my kindle – my heart lying broken and bleeding on the bed beside me… How could you?

He promised he would never lay a hand on her in anger-
He promised her the world –

6 Heart & Soul Breaking Stars!!!
Never, and I mean NEVER, have I EXPERIENCED a story quite like THIS one!!! Anita Gray, with her WICKEDLY DARK imagination has absolutely, irrevocably RIPPED my very soul apart…and I’m afraid I won’t EVER get it back!!!
I have to say that there were a few times, while reading this EPICALLY DARK & TWISTED tale, that I wasn’t sure I could go on reading! But I couldn’t STOP!!! I HAD to find out what would happen next….and the MANY DEVASTATING twists that kept me riveted to my kindle until the very end had me turning those pages so fast…I had to keep going to find out HOW this was all going to play out…talk about MIND-BLOWING EMOTION and GUT-TWISTING UGLY CRYING!!!!
The wait for this MUCH anticipated sequel to Blaire (Book 1) was WELL worth the wait, but OMGAWD, it took me down a path to I-don’t-even-know-where and I am COMPLETELY ENTHRALLED and CAPTIVATED with these characters…Charlie Decena and Blaire-Markov are two of THE most damaged, TOTALLY unforgettable leads in ANY book I’ve ever read!! I fell in love with BOTH of them in the first book and I CAN’T WAIT to see where their unique and RIVETING story will end…I just hope my heart and soul will recover!!!
‘ “I love you, Blaire”-I glance up at him as he says that, at the devotion glowing in his eyes-“you’re my family now. I will always ensure your life, even above my own.” “Why though?” Tipping his head, he whispers to me, “Tis what love is, baby.” It is? ‘
Blaire and Charlie’s journey to an EPIC HEA (*fingers crossed*) is DEFINITELY NOT for the faint-hearted or weak of stomach!!! This is no fairy tale romance! All I can say is KEEP READING….you will NOT be disappointed!
Fantastic 5 stars from me
This book is so well worth the wait it was Fantastic, the writing the story everything was good.
It is fast-paced. This story is gripping and will have you on the edge of your seat… wondering how it is all going play out. A few twists I did not see coming. I really enjoyed Charlie and Blaire’s story… and cannot wait for more.
I have felt so many emotions while reading this book. This story has consumed me. I could not put the book down once I started I cannot wait for the next one. After that ending.
This book is not a standalone you must read book 1 first to fully understand the story…
I am sitting here trying to figure out how to put into words how amazing this book was and words seemed to fail me but I will do my best.
Ever since I read the first book, I have been anxiously anticipating this one because I NEEDED to know what happened between Blaire and Charlie. It was all I could think about and even when I was reading other books, I kept checking the release date to see if anything had changed on it. When the date was pushed back, I was sad, but totally understood, and just went back to checking periodically. Now, I know this really has nothing to do with a review exactly, but I’m trying to explain how much I was looking forward to this book.
Finally the day came and I got my hands on it but, believe it or not, I froze. I was nervous because I loved the first book so much I was worried that the second would disappoint me or not go the way I wanted it to go. I’ve had that happen in series before and I really didn’t want that to happen. Thankfully, it didn’t. Instead, it was the exact opposite.
This book completely changed everything. It was so much darker than the first and yet, strangely, I loved it. I loved the dynamic, I loved how the characters progressed and I loved how we get to see Blaire grow as a person now that she’s free from Maksim.
From the very first page it was just a wide range of emotions and action that kept me glued to the pages. I felt EVERYTHING! Every emotion, every twisted thing that happened, I felt it. Even now, I’m left with this heavy feeling in my chest because of that ending! The author really knows what she’s doing when it comes to writing and it’s hard not to find yourself completely submerged into this dark and depraved world!
This story was all about Blaire trying to figure out who she is now that she’s essentially free. She’s trying to find her place with Charlie and she’s trying to get passed her intense conditioning to finally be able to live her life. However, from the very beginning, it’s not easy for her at all. Especially when she discovers that she’s not where she expected to be. For the first few chapters, I was definitely confused, but that was, after all, the intention as Blaire herself was confused. It immediately starts off with a bang and I found myself hating characters more than I ever have in my life.
We find Blaire through yet another horrendous situation and then follow her on her journey back to Charlie. Back to her home. But the fun doesn’t end there, of course. Charlie is out for blood for what was done to Blaire. This basically starts a war and there is a lot of blood spilled.
This book is definitely VERY dark and has certain scenes that might not be for everyone. But if you are slightly depraved, like me, I can not recommend this series enough! It’s definitely in my top favorites and I would rate it WAY more than 5 stars if I could!! VERY WELL DONE!
Amazing history, I love it It’s so dark and twisted and powerful, and Romantic
I am absolutely obsessed with this series it was the most agonizing wait to read this book and Ms. Gray did not disappoint at all in fact this is tied for my favorite series along with two others this is a must read and I cannot wait to read Blai3e so excited to see where Blaire and Charlie story goes
