Calvin Blake—He has a body that makes women fall to their knees, a smile that promises forbidden pleasure—but only for one night. He makes no promises to the women who share his bed, except that they will leave it satiated and exhausted. His enemies underestimate him, which is their first mistake. Their second is turning their backs on the lethal danger harnessed inside him. He allows no one … inside his head or his heart. Not his team members at Eidolon, not his enemies, not the willing women who warm his bed. Until her.
Grace Paxton—Her smile makes men want to unravel the mystery of the beautiful yet elusive woman. They crave the feel of her skin, the taste of her lips. However, her smile hides a secret. She’s the heiress to a multimillion-dollar fortune. She’s also a member of Zenobi, the group of female assassins trying to right wrongs done against women.
Blake is shocked when Pax comes to him, asking for help to prove her father is a murderer. She’s asking for the one thing he can’t give her. Blake walks away until someone makes it personal. Then he makes it his mission to bring down the multibillionaire. As they work together, emotions and feelings they thought buried rise to the surface and they discover that sometimes your greatest weakness is also your greatest strength.
With the body count rising, Blake and Pax must survive and find the truth before it’s too late. Otherwise, their future together will be over before it begins.

Blake is book two of the Eidolon Black Ops series and it is setting even more ground for the amazing men of Eidolon to wreak havoc on. Pax needs Blake’s help and their instant attraction is mutually explosive. I love how protective he is of her and that he has a side to himself that he only allows Pax to see. I am loving this series and can’t wait for more from Maddie Wade.
I really enjoyed this book! This is the second book in this series. Blake and Pax are meant for each other! It’s action packed and had be wondering who was the villian. I highly recommend this book and series!
Blake is the second book in the Eidolon Black Ops series. I really enjoyed it. Maddie Wade writes a great blend of romance and suspense. It was sexy, and Blake and Pax are so lovable. There is no angst- just page turning suspense. You get a great happily ever after, and a mystery to solve throughout the series. What more could you ask for?!? I can’t wait for the next book.
Well Blakey Boy, didn’t you exceed expectations! I think i could be more in love with this story than Alex and Evelyn, and i adored that book.
2nd in the Series it really started to set the scene for a conspiracy showdown that is obviously coming but didn’t give too much away so you’ll want to read the next book.
I’m not giving anything away, although i wasn’t expecting that……(Make you read :))
Blake is typical of Maddie’s men in the way he had both his hard and soft sides. A killer by day and a lover by night, day, tea, dinner. She writes that complex alpha personality so well and i get sucked in every time. Grace Paxton is just adorable. She’s got issues like the rest of us of thinking she not enough and Blake takes his time to build her confidence from the inside out. She’s independent, cool and is doing it for the Admin ladies. We can’t all be trained assassins!
I love the way Maddie captures a short window of time with each story. They don’t drag over months with the reader getting lost in what day/week/month/year we are in. It’s a wham bam and done, which is exactly how good HEA love should be.
I’m a big Fortis series fan but this is level pegging as my new fave.
Reid is next. Come on Kirk and get your bits out for the girls;) BUUTT I’m still pinning a little over Jack. I decided he was my favourite boy a while ago and he just needs to meet his Becky and I’ll be happy. Not that I’m trying to give you any ideas or story plots “uh-hum” Maddie.
Thank you for the privileged of being able to read this book early. It an honour.
Every time after finishing reading previous book im patiently waiting for next one in series. And not one had made me disappointed.
This is Blakes and Pax story. And its packed full with action, suspense, romance, friendships. I love how Maddie makes you fall in live with every heroe and heroine. I always loved protective alpha heroes and sassy heroines who know what they want and goes for it.
Thanks Maddie for one more amazing book. I definetely recommend for eceryone to read it. U wont be disappointed.
“You barged into my life and made me see the mistakes I was making and how I allowed the fear of failing to rule me. You made me brave.”
Blake and Pax are amazing!!. I fell in love with Pax while reading Alex and was interested to see where her story would go. I wasn’t disappointed. I love the twists and plots that go along with the love story that forms between these two. I didn’t think these books could get any better but it seems like each one is better than the last.
Blake is the second book in the Eidolon Black Ops’s series by Maddie Wade.
Grace Paxton and Calvin Blake find themselves at the center of chaos, confusion, betrayal and love in a mission that takes Eidolon from the UK to the USA and headfirst into a world of mistrust.
Moreover Eidolon has a mole, a friend has betrayed them and puts everything and everyone at risk.
Author Maddie Wade masterfully weaves intrigue and suspense in Blake, the second installment of the Eidolon Black Ops Team series.
Blake is a former personal protector of the royal family & continues to uses his skills with Eidolon. The playboy is drop dead gorgeous and used to going after what he wants – so why is he resisting the sexy, red headed American spitfire that sets him ablaze?
Grace Paxton, affectionately known by her friends as Pax, works for Zenobi in the background, setting every operative up for a fool-proof mission and then some. Lately, Pax has been scoping Blake out in more ways than one. An independent woman, she risks it all one early morning, letting down her impenetrable walls and asks Blake to help send her father to prison for terrible uses of illegal & risky medicine on ill children. Blake turns her down flatly, not believing her and Pax’s walls immediately come back up, hiding her true self. That night Pax is brutally attacked when closing the art gallery that Zenobi uses as a front and told that her beating is a warning – that not even her father can protect her. Feeling remorseful about the way he treated Pax, Blake stops by her house the next morning and he’s enraged when he sees she’s been hurt. It calls out his protective instincts & from that moment on Blake is stuck to her side like glue. Blake begins to realize how much he truly cares for this woman & he’s determined to make her know this.
While Blake & Pax travel with some of the team to the US to confront her father, a dark cloud is forming over Eidolon as the traitor in their midst remains unknown. Soon long forgotten secrets are revealed – secrets that have the power to destroy Grace & her family along with Blake’s chance at love with her. Can Grace trust the man physically protecting her to also protect her heart? Will Eidolon discover the traitor among them before tragedy strikes?
I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy of BLAKE .
I really love this story it is Suspenseful , intriguing , action packed , unpredictable and smoking hot . The chemistry is off the charts between Pax and Blake . I am so glad they got a story . This is very much an on the edge of your seat story . The characters are wonderful and unique .
I highly recommend this series and definitely this story .
To hear Pax tell it, “Blake would break her heart if she let him in because he wants to f@ck and run and she wants to have a family.” But surprises come in the form of an attack and a new-found desire. Protection is what Blake is all about and he takes nothing more serious than that. Packed with suspense, action and a whole lot of romance, this story is the perfect combination of sweet, sassy and seriously entertaining.
This book is amazing! Pax asks Blake’s help to put her father in jail because his pharmaceutical company is involved with deadly drug trials and he refuses. He reconsiders and goes to find her and she has been attacked, beaten and warned to leave thing alone by two men. Blake stays to take care of her and more threats come her way. This book is packed with action, suspense, a trip to California, the search for a mole in the Eidolon, nasty jealous mother, and Pax and Blake exploring a new relationship. Pax is sassy and snarky and Blake finds he can’t resist her. The chemistry between Blake and Pax is off the charts. Maddie Wade has written another great addition to the Eidolon Series. She writes the kind of books that grab you from the start and make you want to stay up til 4am and finish the book. Yes, I did that!
Another great page turner in the Eidolon Spin-off series. Once again, I read it straight through and couldn’t put it down. 2 AM came and went, totally immersed in Blake and Pax’s torturous path to a happily ever after. Pax is sassy and snarky. Blake can’t get enough. Their chemistry is off the charts, while they deal with sinister pharmaceutical companies, crazy families and physical attacks. I highly recommend this series and can’t wait for the next book!
If you want spicy romaine, mystery, intrigue and a can’t put this down book, look no further. Cannot wait, as usual for the next in the series. Maddie Wade has done it again.
Blake and pax’s story is a must read with lots of action packed into a story of love desire and betrayal on a huge scale. This series of the eidolon boys ain’t a mix of the fortis boys and Zenobi woman each one has more of each of them and finding each of they’re backgrounds and them finding a forever love in a strong woman who can put them in their place when needed show them how much they mean and love dearly. A highly recommended series I can’t wait for more.
Wonderful.story full of action and suspense, threats from different directions and not knowing who can be trusted even on their own team. There are some twists and turns and not everything is as it first seems, I got completely sucked in and it held my attention through the fast paced plot. I was stunned at one of the surprise twists, just didn’t see that. The characters are loveable the men hot sexy and alpha, Pax is a bit softer than most of the women from this group and she isn’t trained very much, more on the paperwork or organising side of things, she’s the backbone that gets them where they need to be and with the equipment they need. This is a bit more family oriented in the plot as well so more personal. Fantastic and moving read
“…your body is saying one thing and your sexy mouth another.”
It can work for and against you when a sexy alpha is trained to read body language. You won’t get away with hiding your inter thoughts. Blake will win over your heart…right from the start. I thought Alex was a charmer, Blake May have him beat in my book.
“I don’t hurt or screw around with people that might have to have my back one day. And that makes it hard for me to be around you. You have a mirror in your house?”
This book is filled with strength, guilt, regret, love, loyalty, friendship, forgiveness and mystery…you shouldn’t have to be looking for someone in your inner circle that is betraying you.
“He wouldn’t know how much it hurt to ask for help when that was something she never did, and have it kicked back in her face.”
Looking forward to Reid’s story in Book 3.
