I survived my depraved master, Maksim. 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 murder.

This book was dark and light all at the same time. The ending blew me away. Can’t wait for the third book in this series!
Love, love, loved it. A boon to any reader who knows the readings of ANITA Gray!!
I loved these books. I’m dying to read the next one. I honestly became so invested in these characters that I felt fear and trepidation at times, passion and jealousy at others. I simply need MORE.
I ~did not~ expect to be drawn in to this book as much as I am. Some parts are grizzly and violent, but the story moves quickly and the characters are interesting. Book One was interesting and I kept reading to see what the Heroine would do, but Book Two the Heroine was mostly unbelievable and made some preposterous choices. Giving this three stars for the first book.
This boxset is fantastic and a must read. There’s twists and turns, it’s gritty, heartbreaking and a total rollercoaster ride. I highly recommend you read it for yourself you won’t regret it.
I am utterly speechless with this box set. It’s dark and oh so twisted. I couldn’t stop reading my eyes were not moving fast enough because I devoured it word for word. This is the kind of book that you read and think to yourself what did I just read? How can something so dark be so good? I truly enjoyed this amazing book. This book and author are my go to over and over. If you love dark and twisted, like I do, then THIS is the box set for you.
The books are toe churningly amazing. (I know I invented my own adjective but they are marvelous). I loveeeeee them. The story had me on edge the whole time and I can’t wait for the third part. They are GREAT.. I highly recommend The Dark Romance Series Part One & Two if you are into Dark Romance.
Anita Gray is a new author for me. She has written a trigger warning at the beginning of the book so readers beware. This is a dark and twisted story of Blaire and her Master Maksim. Blaire has been ruthlessly conditioned to protect and serve Maksim in anything he asks her to do with the threat of severe punishment. Blaire’s robot non-emotional life is put to the test when she is given to Charles Decena for three months by Maksim. Charles wants to set Blaire free from the hard life she has endured by the hands of Maksim. But Blaire is scared because that is all she has known. As Blaire begins to open up and be herself, she is kidnapped from the hospital. She must fight her scattered mind that is about to break and the drugs the kidnappers have been giving her. Charles goes back on his word to never do something to Blaire. This is a heartwrenching stoey and has a dark ending to book 2. I can’t wait for book 3 because I am hoping Blaire is able to recover to be whole again.
I love both book one and two.. I have no idea why it took me song long to read them.. I think you will enjoy reading this..
There are only a handful of characters that I’d cry for, Blaire is one of them.
In Blaire, Anita Gray wrote a compelling character.
In Part 1, Blaire was an innocent, robotic-like, trained-killer. She seemed a shell-shocked, Stockholm-syndrome survivor, raised emotionally stunted. When she was treated with kindness and regard by Charlie, she began to feel emotion, and that’s when her pain started. Her background is mysterious and had nefarious beginnings. She has no memories. The book ended on a cliffhanger.
In Part 2, Not only does she wake up in physical pain, then the ravages of emotional distress eat her up alive. Betrayals hurt, and disappointment can do so much damage to anyone, let alone a person who has little experience in dealing with the fallout. Maybe, Blaire would have been better off emotionally numb.
Blaire made me want to hold her, tell her everything would be okay, that her love isn’t misplaced.
I think I need a hug now. *pass the box of tissues, please. *sniff*
Anita Gray, Blaire needs to win, in a big way. I can only hope the win will balance the heartache.
Gotta be steamy or it’s not worth reading!
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
Wow, Blaire 1&2 blew me away – awesome, unbelievable awesome.
Can’t wait for Blaire 3. It’s so mind blowing, thrilling, twisting – I’m speechless. For me, this is the Book of the year right now and it’s killing me to wait until it goes on.
These books constantly inspire me to guess what happens next, what’s behind it and then surprise me with a completely different twist. Each page is full of captivating moments and written in a great way. Insane – Great – Incredible ‼
So also the preliminary conclusion/end, it can be one, but inside I am already plotting how things could go on.
Every book ends with a conclusion/end that you can live with for the time being.
I think it’s good that it’s not a real cliffhanger. This gives you the opportunity to pause between the books, because the story chases up the heartbeat and makes you hold your breath. Now I have to pause and catch my breath again.
That’s what I’m going to do now, take a deep breath, indulge in the reading pleasure, which Mrs. Gray gave so unexpectedly and overwhelmingly and also digest, because it’s not a light food that is served.
Then the days are counted until it finally goes on with Blair3. This will be the absolute test, because I have to admit, I am addicted to Blaire and her darkness.
A very clear, tough reading recommendation as MUST MUST MUST READ with more than 5 stars
‼
I loved the dark theme of this book. I must warn you though, if you cant handle intense scenes with kidnapping/captives then this is NOT the series for you.
Even though this isnt a typical romance, its still a beautifully written story. Anita Gray is s phenomenal writer and I’ve enjoyed every single thing Ive read by her.
This boxset is one of my favorites. It is such a mind twisting storyline that it kept me on the edge. Blaire is so innocent in some ways but also very dark in others. She has been raised by a monster who is her master . I kept rooting for Blaire to get some happiness even though events seemed to make it impossible. I loved Charlie’s character although honestly no one in this series could be considered a good guy. I am still angry with Charlie over a certain event but hopeful it will be resolved in the final book. I have so many questions that still need some answers. This story flows well with several surprises along the way. Will definitely keep you thinking about it long after you are finished reading. Highly recommended!
A dark and emotionally captivating story.
My heart literally broke for Blaire –
Kindness can come in many forms -like love – it can be twisted and crafted with a cruel beauty that enchants even the coldest of hearts
I felt so much anger and helplessness – it has been a while since I “disliked” a character so much and I definitely dislike our protagonist Maksim
Trained in the most brutal but efficient way from childhood to defend her master Maksim at all costs, her devotion and dedication has never wavered – she has never questioned her place nor any orders she has been given – she is his to command
– until Charlie.
Charlie offers Blaire a clarity that causes her to question her reality as well as everything she has ever believed to be the truth.
Heed the warnings – this is full of possible triggers
This was a definite multiple tissues box read
What happens when your belief’s are no longer believable?
An emotionally captivating and heartbreaking story.
A definite tissues and vodka story!
My heart broke for Blaire.
Trained from childhood to defend her master at all costs, her devotion and dedication have never wavered – until Charlie.
Now she questions her blind devotion as well as everything she has ever believed to be truth.
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?
This is the continuing story of how innocence -death and vengeance were bested by love
Two dark and broken souls who collided –
each finding their light within the other –
creating the perfect happily ever after…
But we all know happily ever after only exist in fairytales
He promised her safety –
He promised he would never lay a hand on her in anger-
He promised her the world –
What happens if he fails to keep his promise?
I’m not talking to you anymore Ms Gray!
How could you?! After all that happens in this book you end with a cliffhanger?
You better deliver part three tout de suit, or else…..!
Pleeeease!
