Dark Romance #2
Blai2e
Part 2 in the highly anticipated Dark Romance Series
#1 International Amazon Bestseller & #1 New Release
Don’t take what isn’t yours.
Unless you’re willing to fight for it.
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.
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.

I felt like this book took five steps backwards in terms of Blaire and Charlie's relationship.
I just don't have the patience for it.
Peace out.

OMFG! I can't breath!
Thrill, heartbreak and sorrow - all those were mixed up whilst reading BLAI2E.
I waited for so long to get my hands the second instalment, I was slowly going insane.
But ... the second I read the first line I was transported back in the dark, disturbing and heartbreaking world of Chalie and Blaire.
I cried so much I couldn't barely continue reading at times.
The way Anita describes the scenes, the characters, their feelings and their thoughts can't compare to any other author I've read.
I'm excited and (let's face it) a bit scared for BLAI3E.
Congratulations Anita, you rocked our world yet again and left us addicted to your captivating way of writing.

IT'S HERE, IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!! And it was completely worth the wait. Blai2e is the epitome of dark romance, leaving your jaw dropping and heart racing. This book picks up right where Blaire left us, Blaire might want to turn her back on the underworld, but the underworld has other ideas. With Charlie by her side, she is now experiencing something so much scarier than her life as her Maskims Pet, she is now free of him and getting emotions she can't understand which can be dangerous. Blaire must learn to trust Charlie with everything to work, but something is holding her back. The chemistry between Blaire and Charlie is so visceral and tangible, it's lethal and seductive. But something sinister is lurking in the dark threatening to ruin everyone with devastating effects.
What can I say about Anita Gray that hasn't been said before?! She is a talented and gifted writer that has delivered a deliciously dark tale of lies, obsession, deceit, hope, devastation and inconsolable heartbreak. This writing is effortless and the story is flawless, leaving you spellbound page after page until the heart stopping end. The characters, the storytelling, the author are a intoxicating combination that left me in awe. Definitely one of my favourite reads of 2018 and I need the next book in the series, like yesterday!!!!!

if you see this, shes not coming out with book 3 bc its been how many years now?

I waited a long, long to read this installment and it was definitely worth waiting for! While reading this book, I immediately fell right back into Charlie and Blaire’s relationship. Because of how articulate Anita Gray is, I felt like I was a fly on the wall, a voyeur witnessing the couple’s struggles as they navigated through their unconventional, complex relationship. Not only is their story gripping, entertaining and sexy as all hell, but it is also surprising at times; I literally gasped out loud on more than one occasion! Like the other books in this series, I couldn’t put this one down – it’s fantastic! My only complaint is that it ends with a cliffhanger… I hope we won’t have to wait long to find out what happens next!

Gah....and....damn
Where the first book left me with confusing impressions regarding the characters, and where I hoped that book 2 will actually give me more 'insightful' approach in their further portrayals...
I was again left in more of a messy confusion than I expected...or started with.
I have to admit that there has been a breach of that 'fine line' of dwelling over the 'fucked up' and 'twisted' in the DARK genre....
thus being noted, piling up enormous amounts of the 'fucked up' shit without the actual substance (regardless of how NONsense of a fact it sounds) BUT portraying the characters in a manner of being merely 'fuck ups' doesnt really define them as the main candidates for a dark sustance read but in fact, they look and act like clinically mental cases certified demental victims of their own sad existence...
*sigh*
Yet, there were parts that were pretty good but all in all, it was just a non-consistential amount of gore and twisted mad fuckery and I saw NON of the essential darkness...the main characters were not consistently true to their dark nature but more acting like bipolar freaks thriving on madness and mania then 'crying' over the done fucked up shit when the high went down...
Sadly, non of it was satisfactory enough for me...and I am totally confused about it all, cause this is, in fact, the first time that this kind of mixed shit happened to me while reading a dark book...😕
Dont know what to say else...

5 Massive Stars from me
WoW - Part 2 will not disappoint, in-fact it is even better than part 1 .
Although we had to wait a while for the second part Anita Gray recaps just the right amount to have everything come flooding back from Part 1 and the story quickly speeds up revealing more secrets, betrayals, love, lust and heartache.
The sex scenes between Charlie & Blaire and smoking hot, each learning to love and accept the other's monster, but sometimes monster's turn on those they love.
This book is dark and contains some very brutal graphic scenes which for me were perfect because this story is about the darker side of live, the evil & twisted armies who do anything to get the results needed.
Anita Gray is an outstanding author, this series will pull you in, drag you under and leave you begging for more.

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...

Blai2e was definitely worth the wait. I loved Blaire so much I did a re read before jumping into this. The author does a recap but I highly recommend you read Blaire first.
I read this in an afternoon of peace. I couldn’t put it down. I knew I’d not be able to function until I’d read it all.
I cannot praise this author highly enough. Charlie and Blaire are awesome. Together they make such a great couple.
So many emotions were running through me while reading this. After that ending I cannot wait to read more.

Oh My Freaking God!! I have waited and waited for this book and Anita Gray didn't disappoint at all, all though I HATE a freaking cliff hanger. The first book Blaire was explosive and this one was mind blowing.. The twist, the turns and mystery and secrets just grab a hold of you and don't let go. I'm so beside myself with all these emotions that it's hard to write this review. I mean like I don't know what to say about it without giving anything away!! It was just that good.. I fell so in love with Charlie from the first book and I'm still in love with him even though at this point I could smack the piss outta him and Blaire, OMG Blaire is one of the toughest female I think I've ever read about. I felt what she felt at times, I just wanted to comfort her because of the mess she was having to deal with. The love and the amazing sex between them was hotter than a 4th of July firework, like two lovers would have. I felt the love between them and the heart ache that was caused. This will be one of my best and favorite books of 2018!! Mad props to my girl Anita for writing such an amazing book!! I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR BOOK 3!! This is a MUST read!! I recommend this to every dark loving and mystery readers out there!!

DNF - I've been eagerly awaiting for part 2 to Blaire. However, this book left me feeling let down and disappointed. I liked Blaire, I didn't think it was as dark as it was portrayed to be but nevertheless the story was intriguing and I was excited to see what was in store for Blaire and Charlie.
The beginning had me some what confused - the story seems to start a little way in and it's not until a few chapters in that we get to find out what happened inbetween. However, the lack of description, basic sentence structure and terrible grammar had me tearing my hair out; for example "I'd rather die than suffer like this, losing a losing battle" and "I was born to fight. If I'm going to die, I should die fighting" - I would have put "If I'm going to die then I will do so fighting..." and "The walls are warm palid yellow and the high vaulted ceiling is crisscrossing in dark wooden beams ... Like WTAF? "Crisscrossing the high vaulted ceiling are dark wooden beams" ; "My head bolts to the left..." really? how about jerks, twists, turns... anything. Heads do not BOLT! I could go on but I have tortured myself enough. This author needs a thesaurus and whoever she allowed to edit this book should be banned from ever editing books again! I appreciate it's and ARC and not the final version, but this close to release the majority of errors and editing should have been corrected.
The story may go on to be great, it may have lots of twists and turns and really pick up; I may kick myself for not persevering but the above errors were just too distracting for me to care either way. I liken it to watching a Z rate horror movie... The whole put together on a shoestring, no great special effects, terrible acting thing.... This author made me feel nothing. I've read some really great dark books by some outstanding authors, ones that test me and push me outside my comfort zone. This just pales by comparison.
I look at all the other 5 star reviews and I think I must have read a different book. It's not dark at all. Yes, the author includes rape, torture and other criteria that would make the book be considered dark; it just lacked feeling, emotion. It drew nothing from me - Sorry, but I won't be reading anything further from this author.

Outstanding! I really loved the first book and was a little worry starting the second book with such high expectation but this book did not disappoint. Extremely well written with a great flow to the story this book won't sugar coat it's dark charters but rather show you there good side knowing that when you do see the darkness in them it rings true making all the story line completely believable and highly addictive.

If I could describe my ultimate dark nirvana Blai2e would be it. Anita has delivered such a phenomenal sequel to Blaire, taking both Blaire & Charlie to unbelievable new heights, while delivering such a masterful, emotional, dangerously dark story of love, loss & betrayal.
Christ. I just don’t even know where to start in writing this review. This book has dragged me willingly into a world of such breathtaking opposites. I’ve soared with Blaire & Charlie to the most magnificent heights, basking in the love & tenderness they have learnt to embrace. Yet equally I’ve found myself drowning right beside them during their darkest lows, so overcome with real acute pain, as these two magnificent characters grappled with their own darkness, battled their own demons & succumbed to their own & each other’s devastating destruction.
I knew life was never going to be easy for this pair, even though my heart yearned for all of life’s goodness to grace them, it was no surprise that their story would cripple me so completely. I truly didn’t want to continue at times, the scenes were too real, to powerful & so overwhelming they hurt my very being. Yet even feeling all of this, I couldn’t not keep turning the pages, because every fibre of my soul craved the next twist, the next heartbreak, the next soul crushing punch to the gut. Anita’s words were my drug & I couldn’t come close to getting enough.
Stunning writing from cover to cover. A masterclass of gripping, gut wrenching, darkness that has left me utterly desperate for more. I don’t say this lightly, but Charlie Decana has fast become my ultimate male alpha hero. Strong, powerful, slightly lost & vulnerable in a love he can’t control, no matter how hard he tries. This man will always be my #1

Holy shit! That one was even better than the first one. One hell of an emotional fucked up beautiful rollercoaster ride!
In ways it's darker than the first one but at the same time.. it's a dark romance . It's all pretty dark. Which only makes the brighter moments shine even brighter. That's something I love about the dark romance genre. Within all the darkness and fucked up shit there's an intensely beautiful story with beautiful moments inside of it.
Just a continuation of the first book but let me tell you.. it doesn't go how you thought it would go. I'm falling in love with Anita Blake. Not sure I've read anything else of hers. Damn myself for not doing so too!! What the fuck have I been doing this whole time?
I absolutely love this story. With all its brutality and violence and graphic scenes of epic proportions.. it's equally as beautiful and special and moving (in all the heart string pulling ways) which really boils down to wonderful writing . Haha
The ending (epilogue) absolutely gutted me. It really hit home for me. I've practically experienced that sort of situation myself. Almost exactly. Damn! It was beautiful too. When something like a story can grip your emotions like that and pull you through it as if you are experiencing it yourself ... that's some powerful/ skilled shit (writing)
Can't wait to read or enjoy Blaire 3 .

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!

I was given an ARC for an honest review. Thank you!
If I could give these books a 6 star rating, I would!
I just love this series. I love Blaire! She is not the usual heroine. After all she has been through she is still so strong! It is crazy to imagine such a "small" person in action, doing the things she does. Unbelievable what she is capable of! As much as I want to hate Charlie because of the darkness inside him, I still love him. You need to darkness to truly relish the light. It wasn't even Charlie's darkness that broke my heart, it was how gentle and kind he still was.

5 amazing stars for BLAI2E and Anita Gray.
Blaire is conditioned and wants to be with Charlie while saving the one person she has in her life.
Charlie is Blaire's savior and wants to love her but with his monster lurking he has to be careful.
I've been waiting for Blai2e, since I read part 1 and I can honestly say that it was worth it even though the wait was long.
Blai2e has all the details of part 1 and so much more. Anita's, recap of part 1 brings you right back to where it left off.
Charlie and Blaire relationship is the epitome of soul-crushing and forever. It's dark and light, hate and love, and dangerous and endearing. They deal with their relationship as they see fit.
The scenes in this book is dark, disturbing, and hot. They go into depth of how menacing, and steamy they really are. The other characters in blai2e are good too but some of them need to be punch in the face.
Thank you Anita for your dark words and for letting me into the world of Blai2e.

Book 2 brings every emotion you have love, hate, jealousy, sorrow for all characters especially
Blaire. You look at Blaire as your heroine that kiss ass without blinking an eye. You love all her first as she has them with Charlie and you see how much Blaire is changing Charlie. Maksim you hate how he has conditioned Blaire when the only man that has come to love Blaire and shows her how to feel he abuse her because he is jealous of how she feels about Charlie, when he was the one who send her to be with Charlie.
Charlie Decena is dark & brutal and Maksim has stolen from him and he will pay with the one thing he put above everything. His loyal pet, his head of security, now the one thing I want to own and destroy to destroy Maksim. However, what happens is I buy her to do a job for me and she changes everything about me. I want her for myself only and want her to choose me.
Once I have Blaire I made her a promise, she will always have a choice with me, I will never hit her and I will never treat her like Maksim did. Guess what? After one dark night I broke that promise and have lost the love of my life forever.

5 Heart Shattering Stars!
Fucking hell.
Anita Gray takes us on a gruelling journey right alongside Blaire and Charlie, creating a gamut of powerful emotions as we go. From soul piercing fear and agony, sweet love and tender happiness, to crushing pain that makes your heart want explode into a billion pieces. My tear ducts have shrivelled up and died of dehydration, I cried for nearly 3 straight chapters you heartless woman! I loved it all, the perfect parts and the destroying parts.
Im pretty sure at one point my stomach fell out, because it certainly felt like it had vacated the building. That sense of foreboding was intense as hell.
This book is intense, beautifully well written with characters you love and ones you want to punch the living daylights out of, and a story that gripped me to the end. Anita Gray spares no-ones feelings, she wants it all and takes it with her words.
"Hell is ready for you."
I was not prepared for how strongly this book would make me feel, it certainly drags you through hell and back, but without the darkness there would be no light to lead the way out.
"Your darkness... your light... I love it all"
This quote speaks so true of how to describe this book and what it was for me to read. I couldn't sum it up any better than that.

After having read Blaire so many times, I was more than ready for Blai2e, or at least I thought I was. The truth is, there is nothing that could have prepared me for what I just read. I mean, yeah. I'm just... raw. Raw in the very best way though. I feel some kind of way about this book, and I'm not entirely sure how that way is yet.
Blaire is taken from where she thought she was safe and put back into danger again. This time she's drugged out of her mind and then blackmailed into doing things she doesn't want to do. When she finally gets back to Charlie, she expects to go back to the same thing she had before she went back to Maksim.
Charlie has turned the world upside down searching for Blaire, and once he has her, he's not about to let her go. No matter what.
This book sent me through the wringer. I had all the feelz and may have had to make up some new ones just to experience this book. I mean, I just didn't expect anything that happened and when X would happen, I would expect Y and Z to happen, but instead F and L would happen. Anita Gray kept me off balance and spinning in circles the entire time I was reading. It was amazing. I stayed up way too late to read the book, reading it until I was so cross-eyed from being tired that I just couldn't focus anymore and then I grabbed my Kindle first thing in the morning so I could finish it. I ugly cried for the last 20 minutes of the book and was emptied out by the time I finished it. I can't wait for the next book. I need to have it now.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!
Anita Gray had me on pins and needles waiting for this book. And she kept me on pins and needles throughout the book. I couldn't put it down. I found myself wanting to reach through my tablet and wrap my arms around Blaire to keep her safe and feel loved. LOL! I loved Blaire's curiosity about life and her body in this book. Her naivety broke my heart because it reminded me of what this poor girl has endured in her life. I loved Charlie in book one but in this book I found myself wanting to d*ck punch him a few times. Gray gutted me at the end of this book. She left me ugly crying and then left me hanging. Yes there is a big fat ugly CLIFFHANGER at the end. So to be continued with my review.................. She needs to make this RIGHT!!!!!!

Blair2e takes you on a journey that is mind twisting, gut wrenching, heart pounding want to throw your kindle and scream at the author for taking your heart pulling it out and literally shredding it to pieces and leaving it like that.
The book will captivate you steel your breath make you angry, frustrated, shock you and take you on a path you don’t see coming, you can try and second guess your way through this book and every time you do, Anita is there to throw a curve ball and send you spiralling in another direction.

וואו!
איזה ספר
קודם כל הכתיבה של אניטה מעולה באמת!
בלייר💔
אין הרבה דמויות שנכנסות לי ככה ללב והיא פשוט וואו
הרגשתי איתה כל רגש למרות שהיו פעמים שלא הכי הבנתי מה היא עושה אבל גם כן וסיימתי את הספר כשלא יכולתי לראות את המילים מרוב דמעות
זה לא ספרים שמתאים לכולם
הראשון אולי כן כי מבחינתי (שאני קוראת אופל אפשר להגיד חזקה) הוא היה פחות אופל ויותר רומן חמוד כזה
אבל השני פשוט שבר הכל
ואני ממש ממליצה את הספר (בלי להחשיב את הראשון) הזה למי שאוהב באמת אופל
וואו!

It is hard to put into words what this story makes me feel.... There is so many emotions coming off the page. There is love but there is also a sense of pain and utter betrayal. The betrayal comes through because of the trust, which is broken. Blai2e moves at a fast pace. I feel for Blaire because she is trying to find herself after the demise of her master, Maskim. She has never been a relationship that had any sort of trust and love. Blaire finds that through Charlie.
Charlie is a strong character that holds so much love for Blaire. He tries to keep everything together--mostly for Blaire's sake. The line of communication between Blaire and Charlie is really lacking. I knew anything could happen because of it. There were only a few parts throughout the story, which made say, "say what now?" The twist and turns will throughout the story will keep you on edge. As reader, you will hope for the best for Charlie and Blaire but you know... There will be a sense of foreboding. The author wouldn't have it any other way. If you started the journey with Blaire, continue the journey with Blai2e. The journey continues and it is definitely needs to be read.

Can a book 2 be better then the first? Well with Blaire 2 that is the case. The first book was awesome and a [age turner but book 2 was insane, in a good way. This book takes you to a deeper understanding of how dark the world Blaire lives in is. The secrets, the betrayal, the lies, the love, pain and suffering and the heartache. This book will suck you in and hold you hostage from page 1 and leave you emotionally drained in the best possible way. I NEED book 3. This series is a must read.

I can't even ...
This book was even more powerful than the first. My heart....my heart. 🖤
Anita Gray...your literary magic is something to behold. Your words left me literally crying in the end, my breath caught in between words, my mind racing. I feel like I was transported into a boundless, beautifully dark, intensely raw world where my emotions took on a life of their own.
BY FAR....one of the greatest reads ever. Thank you. 🌹

As blaire and Charlie struggle with there relationship they are also fighting an enemy that that wants to hurt blaire and charile and i wear you'll never believe who it is this is where the plot thickens as blaire and chaire starts to come to neural ground in understanding one another and blaire realized that she can love lies,deceit and selfishness come to ruining everything and blaire becomes emotionless one again for one split second and charile brakes promises that shouldn't be broke we get one earth shattering ending that broke my heart and had me clutching at my chest with a tear in my eye cliffhanger to the fullest and i can not wait to see what happens next BECAUSE LOVE DOESN'T COME EASY ONCE YOU FIND IT ITS HARD TO LET GO BUT LOVE ISNT EASY AND MISTAKES ARE MADE BUT YOU MUST FIGHT FOR YOU YOU WANT AND I KNOW THATS WHAT CHARILE AND BLAIRE WILL DO ALL THE WHILE THERE IS A NEW THREAT TO DEAL WITH ALSO THE LAST CHAPTER IS IN IN CHARLIES POV WHICH I LOVED BY THE WAY AND CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE OF IN THE NEXT BOOK

I loved the first book really much and I waited for the second one for a year, so i guess my expectations were too high.
The story is still good, the author is very talented and we can feel that she knows what she's doing with the plot and the characters.
But
I'm really curious to know what's gonna happen next
