Captive in the Dark by C.J. Roberts
(Book #1)
Book Synopsis: Caleb is a man with a singular interest in revenge. Kidnapped as a young boy and sold into slavery by a power-hungry mobster, he has thought of nothing but vengeance. For twelve years he has immersed himself in the world of pleasure slaves searching for the one man he holds ultimately responsible. Finally, the architect of his suffering has emerged with a new identity, but not a new nature. If Caleb is to get close enough to strike, he must become the very thing he abhors and kidnap a beautiful girl to train her to be all that he once was.
Eighteen-year-old Olivia Ruiz has just woken up in a strange place. Blindfolded and bound, there is only a calm male voice to welcome her. His name is Caleb, though he demands to be called Master. Olivia is young, beautiful, naïve and willful to a fault. She has a dark sensuality that cannot be hidden or denied, though she tries to accomplish both. Although she is frightened by the strong, sadistic, and arrogant man who holds her prisoner, what keeps Olivia awake in the dark is her unwelcome attraction to him.
WARNING: This book contains very disturbing situations, dubious consent, strong language, and graphic violence.

Seduced in the Dark by C.J. Roberts
(Book #2)
Book Synopsis: The exciting, titillating, and action-filled conclusion to Captive in the Dark. What is the price of redemption? Rescued from sexual slavery by a mysterious Pakistani officer, Caleb carries the weight of a debt that must be paid in blood. The road has been long and fraught with uncertainty, but for Caleb and Livvie, it’s all coming to an end. Can he surrender the woman he loves for the sake of vengeance? Or will he make the ultimate sacrifice?
Quote:
It seemed to Caleb, the nature of human beings revolved around one empirical truth: we want what we cannot have. For Eve, it was the fruit of the forbidden tree. For Caleb, it was Livvie.

Epilogue: The Dark Duet by C.J. Roberts
(Book #3 - Novella)
(The final version should have 15 Chapters + an epilogue)
Book Synopsis: I’m writing this because you begged. You know how I love the begging. In fact, you probably know too many things and know them far too well. Who am I? Well, that’s what I’m trying to figure out. I was a whore in my youth, a killer since my adolescence, and a monster as a man. I am the man who kidnapped Livvie. I am the man who held her in a dark room for weeks. But, most importantly, I am the man she loves. She loves me. It’s quite sick, isn’t it? Of course, there’s more to our story than can be surmised in a few short sentences, but I’m at a loss for justifying my behavior back then. I assume if you’re reading this, I don’t need to make those justifications. You’ve already made your own. You’re reading this because you want to know about the rest of the story. You want to know what happened that warm summer night in September of 2010, the night I met Livvie at The Paseo. It was the night my life changed all over again. It didn’t happen exactly as Livvie said. She’s been very kind to me in the retelling of our story. The truth is far more…complicated.

My review: 5 stars!!!
Now, I said I wasn't going to review this series, because of the graphic nature of the books. However, I feel like I would be doing the readers a disservice. I want to share this series and my experience with you. Just a warning . . . like those posted above in red. This series is not a happy, funny, loving, happy ending kind of series. It's dirty, graphic and slightly disturbing at times. But, you will be hooked by the first page and you will not be able to put it down!!
So, after reading the first book, I just stared at my Kindle, literally. I had no words. I didn't know what to say, what to think, or how to feel. My boyfriend was sitting next to me on the couch, and saw me staring at my Kindle and he asked, "Are you alright?" My reply was, "I don't know." And I honestly didn't know. I couldn't explain what I was feeling and I didn't want to like the book. I didn't want to like the book at all. But, I did.
In fact, I loved the book. It has been one of the best books I have ever read!! I mean that with all honesty too. I couldn't wait to the the second book and I couldn't wait for the Epilogue to come out. I have read all three books for a second time, and they are just as good as the first time!!
C.J. Roberts is now one of my favorite authors. She makes you feel what the characters are feeling. She takes you to a very dark and scary place, but you love it. You are drawn and pulled to it. And the whole time, you are enraptured by this series.
If you read it, I hope enjoy it as much as I did. If you read it and do not like it, I'm sorry I lead you astray!!
