About this listen
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.

Story
Working as Ruslan Oryolov’s personal assistant is the job from hell. After a long day spent tending to the billionaire’s every whim, I need some stress relief. So when I get home that night, that’s exactly what I do. Problem is, my thoughts are still stuck on the bosshole, who’s ruining my life. That’s fine—because of all Ruslan’s many sins, being gorgeous might be the most dangerous.

Story
Once upon a time, I was an 18-year-old psychology student. Now, I'm a man's property. Stolen and sold, I've been decorated in bruises since the day my world changed two years ago. I suffer in silence, I crave freedom, but I never break. I can't. Until he arrives. Elder Prest, the only man to look at me and see me. The only man more ruthless than my owner. He wants me for reasons I don't understand. He claims me for one night then leaves and never looks back. Until he returns. And life becomes much more complicated.

Story
Of two things I'm certain: When something sounds too good to be true, it is; and when Alexius Del Rossa makes you a deal, you run far away and never look back. Me? I didn't run. I stayed. I opened that envelope, and I accepted his offer. Why? Because my life was a mess and on a downward spiral to a big, fat nothing. And he just offered me everything in exchange for six months of my life. It was supposed to be a simple arrangement, but I learned the hard way that nothing is simple when it comes to Alexius.

Story
It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball. A clandestine moment with a handsome stranger. But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn’t driven by love. He’s fueled by revenge. To him, I’m a chess piece. Leverage. His rival’s betrothed. To me, he is a man deserving of poison. A dark prince I refuse to marry. He thinks I’ll accept my fate. Well, I plan to rewrite it. And in my story, Juliet doesn’t die. But Romeo? He perishes.

Story
He seethes with raw power the first time I see him - pure menace and rippling muscles in shackles. He's dangerous. He's wild. He's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. So, I hide behind my prim glasses and my book like I always do, because I have secrets, too. Then, he shows up in the prison writing class I have to teach, and he blows me away with his honesty. He tells me secrets in his stories, and it's getting harder to hide mine. I shiver when he gets too close, with only the cuffs and the bars and the guards holding him back.

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!

The story was great but the narrator was awkward. Her Spanish was off and her Russian accent was strange too. The story was great though.

Blair and Charlie
This is deliriously dark, the characters are each and every one of them violent bad guys. So why do I wish them well? That is the genius of Anita Gray, word master. The performance by Shirl Rae is quite good, she even employs that teeny tiny touch of a Russian accent for her characterization of Blair so subtly.

Even better in audio
I loved Blaire as a print story, I adore it as an audible book. The narration is done very well and it just drips with sexy and honesty, especially in the more tense and difficult scenes. I love this and can't wait to hear part 2 in audible!

Amazing! It had me on the edge of my seat. I loved the performance. This book has it all. It was detailed, it had in depth characters, the sex was mind blowing. Good grief, I had to put it down to smoke a cigarette after each session!!! I read part 2 as well and if you are searching for your next good dark romance read I assure you this will not disappoint you and unfortunately may make you become a smoker too.

One of the best books!
I have been listening to several books along the same type of genre and this is the first book I have read that I feel like really deserved a review! It was amazing! Full of twists and turns! I love Blaire and Charlie! Amazing, I cried, I laughed, I listened to the book in whole over two days and couldn’t stop. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to read the rest of the series!!
