Born on the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, Ann-Marie grew up learning from strong, confident influences which translates in her writing today.
She acquired the love of writing when she was just 12 years old and at 19; she wrote her first novel, which remains under lock and missing key.
When she’s not writing international bestselling books, she’s traveling around the USA with her 3 children and a camper, tending to her garden and chickens, or fixing something on her mini-ranch. All with the wonderful support of her amazing husband.
Jake will forever be one of my favorite male protagonists. It’s sad to say goodbye, and I hope to see a cameo in other books.
Book two is the conclusion for Adeliade and Jake. It has been a delightful ride, and the ending is fantastic.
At times I wasn’t sure how I felt about Adelaide. But I trusted the process, and I ended up loving her for how she pushed Jake. These two fit perfectly together.
The author's writing style is one I love, full of angst, darkness, steam, and suspense that keeps you on edge. I highly recommend starting this series if you haven't already.
Ms. Davis what a way to end the duet. The way that cliffhanger left off had me going crazy till this one came out. These two hackers were perfect for each other. I had been in love with Jake since the first book. This man was a perfect mix of it all possessive, alpha, and nerdy just how I like them. Were there actions he did that I didnt agree with? Yes, but what type of book would it be if I agreed with everything? Adelaide the one who challenged him was a hot mess but it is exactly what Jake needed. At times she drove me nuts and I had to remind myself of her age but this didnt take away from the wonderful story. When everything else was pushed aside Jake and Adelaide made my heart smile. They both deserved their happy ending. Ms. Davis, I am sad to see this series end but I am also looking forward to your adventure.
Reclaiming Adelaide picks up right from where Decoding Adelaide left us. This is part 2 in Jake and Adelaide's story arc, you must read Decoding Adelaide first. I recommend reading all of the Blackstone Tech and Moreno Mafia books in order because there are crossovers that make each book that much better.
Jake and Adelaide have quite a bit to work through in this book, not only are they at a crossroads with each other but someone is hunting Adelaide. She doesn't feel safe anywhere. If the stakes weren't so high, all the ways Adelaide escapes Jake would have been quite funny.
This book has everything we need- Action, spice, betrayal, tragedy, romance, age gap, danger and a touch of humor.
This book should not be read if you have not read the previous book in the series, as it picks up right where Decoding Adelaide ended. I had not read it and had to stop reading to do so.
Reclaiming Adelaide is the fast-paced conclusion to Adelaide and Jake’s story. With nonstop action until the end, I loved the intricacies of Jake and Adelaide’s relationship. Although there were moments her immaturity was nerve-racking, I liked her overall and found her relatable to my younger self. I appreciated how honest and open she was with her parents and eventually Jake, and vice versa.
I enjoyed the story and want to go back and read the series' first two books. It took a moment for me to get into it, but once I did, I was hooked. No matter how I felt, I wanted to know how it ended. I hope to read the first two books in the series.

Wow, this book kicks off into so much action, chaos, danger, unknown enemies and grief. Love the love/hate between Adelaide and Jake. There are so many secrets and misconceptions between them. Though I still love Jakes overhanded-alpha way. Their sexual chemistry and steamy scenes are smoking hot. It’s absolutely fantastic that beloved characters from other series are popping up in this book. I was honestly wrapt when I saw they had been written into this. This book is written with such detail and emotion, at times it’s so dark and gut reaching I was in tears. The journey this book takes you on is brutal - but also so amazing you won’t be able to put it down. The twists and suspense are expertly written so you are always left with no idea what would happen next- oh so good. Overall a great read with such a perfect ending.
Reclaiming Adelaide has quickly become my favorite book by Ann-Marie Davis. The characters and the world that has been created within this series is fabulous. I love that the characters from the Moreno Mafia series connects with this group. I hope that you enjoy reading this and the Moreno Mafia series as much as I have. The Blackstone Tech group is a close knit family, With Alek and Liz, Randall (Tonk) and Ivy and Jake, and Jake’s sister Becca, will Adelaide become the partner Jake needs and wants? Adelaide is a 19-year-old hacker that has fallen in love with Jake Murray, mistakes have been made between these two, dishonesty and hiding about things of great importance that will affect everyone. I am excited to see what happens in the future with new books Ann-Marie will create.
I have to start by saying that a 5star is very rare for me, but this duet certainly deserves it!! I don't know how i didn't know about this author until now, but she is amazing! I devoured this book just like the first one, and i loved every word from it. Read it asap!
Ann-Marie Davis has left me in a book hangover once again. Reclaiming Adelaide is book 4 in the Blackstone Tech series and book 2 in the duet of Decoding Adelaide/Reclaiming Adelaide- Jake and Adelaide's story.
Without revealing spoilers, suffice it to say that we were left with a cliffhanger in Decoding Adelaide, unsure of their relationship and all the darkness coming to light. Jake has found out about Adelaide's history, and how it involved him and his company- how will he ever forgive her? But there's more….. waaaaaay more. Someone else is out to get Adelaide now. Will he be able to protect her while also wanting to walk away and leaving her to the wolves?
Throughout book 2 of this duet, Ann-Marie Davis leaves us hanging on the edge of our seats. This final book is completely filled to the brim with steam, angst, aggravation, page-turning insanity, and, finally, a conclusion that was all I'd hoped for. I highly recommend this series, and love that it's tied together with the Moreno Mafia series, where we see familiar characters close to our hearts. They all continue to play a vital role, so I strongly suggest reading both series to get the full world at your fingertips.
Okay..I'm Okay.. like I just got a total hang over with these love to hate to super love book.
I got this sought after ARC - just a few days ago, and this is not your usual-love me - the end book.
If you want imperfect yet can't do but love Hero's...If you want great character building.. If you want struggle of feelings... If you want panty-melting scenes...If you want grovel because I can't let you go... and most of all...those moments that you wish you were the heroine THIS IS THE PERFECT BOOK FOR YOU.
I'll be re-reading this one , when I want some justification that there are guys like Jake...no spoilers here as I want every readers to get the thrill of reading this 'dark book' as they (or might say) . Just don't be a vanilla and enjoy the wild roller-coaster ride of Jake and Adelaide
Reclaiming Adelaide is book #4 in the Blackstone Tech series and is the 2nd book in Jake and Adelaides story.
Reclaiming Adelaide picks up where we left off in Decoding Adelaide. Jake and Adelaide are not in the best spot relationship wise and someone is out to get Adelaide. I don't wanna give anything away, just know this book is a must read and will keep you on the edge of your seat!!
I adore Ann Marie and love every single book by her, and Jake and Adelaides story has moved to my top favorites list!
If you love action packed stories full of tension, suspense, angst, and spice then go read this book! Go read the whole Blackstone Tech series and fall in love with this world!
Easily the best book written by this author to date and I LOVE her work.
If you’re looking for a book that takes you for one wild ride that you never want to get off of, look no further! (Please be sure you read Decoding Adelaide first) From the first word you will be hooked- I absolutely devoured this book. It’s full of twists and turns and the hate to love between these two is 🤌🏻. Be prepared for dark elements, tragedy, redemption and survival.
The character and plot development was truly perfect, I was connected to the characters and the story and couldn’t wait to see how things would work out for them. I don’t want to get much more into the story but I was excited to see some cameos from my favorite characters. Another automatic one click for me!
So this story it hooked me from the very beginning. There were twists and turns and up and downs. This is by far the best put-together story from Ann-Marie I have had the privilege of reading. This series was refined and well-written. Just when you think you knew what was coming... nope she takes you for a ride. It had angst. It had passion. It had a push and pull. I honestly can't pinpoint the exact feeling this book and well series gave me. Jake and Adalaide were a perfect match. Each complemented the other so well. The only spoiler I will give is to have tissues on hand. This story gets deep. I hope you enjoy this installment and the rest of the series as I have.
Fantastic conclusion to Adelaide and Jake’s story! I’ve really fallen hard for these characters. I love Jake’s OTT alpha/possessive nature and the fact that he’s highly intelligent is a huge bonus. Adelaide is the perfect counterpart to Jake and the push and pull between these characters is written so passionately and with the perfect amount of angsty tension.
This duet is really the whole package. Layered, complex anti-heros with great character development, lots of engaging plot with betrayal, action and suspense, and loads of spice. Definitely recommend this book and the entire Blackstone series!
My husband works in tech so a romance about 2 hackers instantly had my attention. Add to it the bad boy vibe and the sassy FMC and I was a gonner. I was apprehensive about it being an age gap romance because that troupe usually isn't my cup of tea. I'm super glad I gave it a shot! This book pulled me in from the get go. I couldn't put it down. I litterally maneuvered my day arround reading this book (and yes, i did finish it in one day. I couldnt help myself). The story arc was so suspenseful. It had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I went through so many aray of emotions with these charicters in the best of ways. I cant wait to sink my teath into more books from this author
We are thrust right back into the mix right where we left off between Adelaide and Jake. Immediately Jake is furious upon finding out Adelaide’s betrayal and he doesn’t give her any chance to explain, nor believe it if he were to listen. Meanwhile Adelaide is now being hunted down by mercenaries and she’s out on her own with no one to turn to. This second half of the duet has a ton of action as compared to Decoding Adelaide and we also see a different side of Jake. There’s a ton of emotion and everything has been laid out on the table. I really feel for Adelaide with what she was put through and went through. Great conclusion to this duet!
I absolutely loved Decoding Adelaide and have been eagerly anticipating this book to find out what happened after Jake realized what he “thought” Adelaide was up to. I’m into dark romances and I know this is a lot of people’s cup of tea but for me (personally), Jake lost his appeal when he put his hands on Adelaide… and just his general treatment of someone he claimed to love. But that’s just MY opinion, no shame to those that enjoy those aspects. It’s just not my cup of tea.
Now, the mystery of who was behind all of the bad stuff had me devouring the book in one sitting. Yay!
OMG!!! I swear every time Ann-Marie Davis has a new book coming out you know that it is going to be AMAZING!!! I totally love her books and this one had me from the word go...Unable to put Reclaiming Adelaide down until I finished it.. Jake and Adelaide's story got me in Decoding Adelaide and the cliff hanger we were left on. This book picked up right where the first one left off and didn't disappoint. Twist, turns, keeps you on your toes..
Ann Marie Davis is such a talented writer, and this book right here is proof of that! This whole series has been action-packed, and this duet in particular had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end!
Jake and Adelaide were perfect for each other, and the conclusion to their story was brilliantly written! This whole series is a must read, and especially Jake and Adelaide's duet! Highly recommended!
This book is the second in a duet. I found the continuation of the story to be intriguing; however, Adelaide was a character I just couldn't continue to like. I understand she was young but most of the decisions she made were terrible and her woe is me act got on my nerves. That being said I loved Jake and the way he reacted after feeling betrayed. Yes, I'm terrible and I love a bad guy... But he also changed and started treat Adelaide with love and adoration when he almost lost her. He was fierce, over the top possessive and dirty talking. This is what I love to see in heros. Don't even get me started on the steamy scenes.. I loved them though I wish there were more public place moments. I would definitely recommend to give this book a try.
This book is part of a duet, so Decoding Adelaide should be read first. The first book ends on a cliffhanger and Reclaiming Adelaide picks up just where it left off - and that’s a GREAT thing! You do not want to miss a moment of this book. Adelaide is young and it shows but Jake is patient, for the most part with her. He’s also a true Alpha OTT male - which makes me swoon! I could not wait to read this book and the wait was definitely worth it! I am voluntarily leaving this review.
So much love for this book!!!! Jake Murray has shot to top spot of my favourite Ann-Marie alpha dominant males 😍😍 Adelaide stressed me out at times, i just wanted to reach in and shake the woman but mostly i loved her determination to protect, even in her strange way, those she loves. You absolutely have to read this book and the rest of the series. Its an absolute must for your tbr!!!
I was lucky enough to get the ARC for this. I love how this book picks up right from where book ones cliffhanger ended. There was so much happening. It was like I was on a roller coaster and I loved every minute of it. Besides all the action and chaos that was happening, I definitely felt every emotion that both Jake and Adelaide were going through. Jake is the perfect Alpha male in my book. Where as Adelaide irritated me at times. This was the perfect end to this duet. You definitely need to read book one to understand what is going on.
After the cliffhanger I couldn't wait for this book. Adelaide and Jake miscommunication is alot more than what it seems. This book was fast pace as we are the run trying to figure out who the true bad guy is. This book had a few surprises characters show up. I hope to see Adelaide and Jake in future books.
I couldn't put this one down! I read a lot of dark romance, and this one is one of the best this year. Ann-Marie Davis puts her own twisted spin on this one, and it is truly an epic series finale. It picks up just where Decoding Adelaide left off, so it is not a stand alone. The series must be read in order to make sense. This is a must read, and I'd give it six stars if I could!
I received an advance review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
This was the perfect conclusion to Jake and Adelaide’s story. Mystery, suspense, mistrust, rebuilding of trust, and steam. Plenty o’ steam!
Ann Marie Davis is crafty, detailed, and knows how to spin a story. I definitely recommend this duet as well as the entire Blackstone Tech series. I love the crossover with her other stories intertwined as well! Five stars for this fantastic read!
It was the wait. Adelaide did not expect the reaction she got when Jake found out. There are twists and turns. She and Jake go through a bit that had me wondering how is this going to end? It was really good.
Adelaide and Jake's story is the conclusion to a duet that I really needed. This book is a dark romance that is very sexy. The characters are amazing and there's drama included.
This book is after Decoding Adelaide. I love the authors writing style. It’s full of plenty of steam, darkness, and suspense. This book will keep you on edge and guessing and I highly recommend it. You will fall completely in love with Jake!
What a great book! With drama , action, betrayal , some spice and a HEA. I mean who could ask for more, not this girl. It was a bit rough for Adelaide in the beginning of the book with Jake. A lot of revelations occurred . There was also a bit of sadness but in the end it made Adelaide stronger. I definitely recommend this book it’s awesome sauce!
