Go deeper into their twisted romance!
This book took me on a journey. I explored the emotional turmoil of both Jessie and Christos as their bad romance continues.

After Christos' display at Alex's bachelor party, Jessie has disappeared. Hurt, angry and broken beyond repair, Jessie has finally escaped Christos and Christos is on a rampage. He's angry at Alex for having the stupid party in the first place and at Dimitri for trying to take Jessie from him. He's mostly mad at himself for wanting-needing Jessie to the point of obsession.
Jessie's heart is battling with her brain. Her brain knows Christos is dark and has hurt her irreparably. Her heart is connected to him. Her body craves him.
Christos has gone too far this time. The love Jessie once felt is gone and he may lose his dove forever. Christos wants Jessie to want to be with him. How can Jessie love a man with no heart to love her back? Christos realizes, too late, - she cant.
WOW. THIS IS A SERIES YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS ! CHRISTOS AND JESSIE ARE EXPLOSIVE ! ! ! SO FAR THIS SERIES HAS BEEN ADDICTIVE AND INTENSE AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM BOOK 3 ! DARK, RAW CRAVING MIXED WITH INTENSE, EMOTIONAL PASSION ! ! ! THIS SERIES IS A DEFINITE MUST READ ! ! !

This series just gets hotter! This is the best rabbit hole to fall down, drink the bottle and eat the cake. This book is the best kind of indulgence. I love to hate Christos all while I am rooting for him. He is as infuriating as he is vulnerable. Jessie is the best kind of heroine but damn is she stubborn. Christos makes obsessed love look like the best kind of love. Cannot wait for the next book!

Not nearly as entertaining as the first :/

BUT FOR ONCE WE HAVE A HEROINE WHO SAYS NO, MEANS IT, AND STANDS BY HER NO...

...until she doesn’t after she has some kind of NDE, come-to-Jesus moment and she takes him back, but he realizes what an utter whack-job he is and leaves her alone to stew in her Stockholm Syndrome in the final pages.

Reading the next book.
Though not quite sure why...

Christos is going mad trying to find his dove. When he finally finds her, things don't quite go as planned, as Jessie is beyond pissed and hurt at El Diablo. Will his darkness again be too much for her or will he finally see the light and become a better man for the one woman he loves (yes, he does love her even if he's not willing to admit it first)?

Damn, Enraptured is even more twisted and intense than Enslaved. Christos is truly El Diablo but I see glimpses of a good man somewhere deep inside him. In the first part of their story I was horrified by Christos and really couldn't see them lasting. I can see them together now, though. Now that things have come full circle. Now that they've come to terms with how they feel about each other. I really cannot wait for ENTWINED because that cliffhanger about killed me!

Christos twisted obsession continues and it's an intense dark ride, not only for our heroine Jessie but also for the reader. This is going to be a tough review to write for me because of the feeling that still lingers for me of Christos betrayal with his old submissive from the first book. Not only could I feel Jessie's mental suffering and resistance into giving in to her own desire for this gorgeous man who feels damned.

Christos knows who and what he wants but doesn't feel deserving of it, he feels conflicted with his own emotions. His dark side is easier to handle and is who he is, will his dove be able to take him as he is?

Jessie's struggle is not only physical and mental, but it's also sexual because of her own body's betrayal. I love her strength but it's her love for Christos that tears at my heart.

ENRAPTURED is the second book The Devil & his Dove series by Jax Hart and like the first book Enslaved, I found myself lost in the story. Even though I want to scream with the being left as if I'm hanging over a cliff, I have become a Hart fan and can't wait for the third book.

5 Dark Stars!!!

Christo’s dark obsession continues as he finds Jesse’s hiding place. She fights him and does not want to want him back after his ultimate betrayal with Fiona. I think that was the worst part of the story for me as well.
As Christos comes to terms with his sole attraction and obsession with Jesse, he also battles with his emotions and whether he will continue with his medication or not. His old lifestyle calls him again and again. As long as he has Jesse, he wants no other, but what will happen if he lets her go?
The fact that Christos can decide at any time whether to continue with his medication or not creates an edgy tension throughout the story. The reality that he already crossed many lines by blatantly being with Fiona and sharing Jesse with Dimitri was all kinds of messed up, so there isn’t much respect going on in my mind.
Both Jesse and Christos go through emotional turmoil in this graphic, intense and edgy romantic saga! A doozy of a cliffy that was heart wrenching! I can hardly wait to read the concluding story!

Deeper, Darker, Sexier and more Sinful than the last.

He caught her again
He caged her once more
He broke her completely
And left her love on the floor

Join Christos in his journey to once again capture the light to his darkness.

Jessie fought with everything that was left in her,
until she realised resistance was futile, she was just as empty and broken as he was.
She wondered if she’d ever come to terms with the lengths he went to, to ensure she would never leave him again.

She was slowly pulled deeper and deeper and she realised that she needed his darkness as much as he needed her light.
From those embers of a broken, smouldering heart rose a love SO FIERCE that she forgave him his every Sin.

But with actions comes feelings,
Their love showed him his own truths.

And then...

The struggle continues in this second book between Christos and Jessie. Christos’s obsession with Jessie continues to consume him, he uses his money and power to go to any lenght to possess her. His darkness starts to pull her into Christos’s world. I love how the story continues to evolve. This dark romance continues its intrigue and mystery. It does end in a cliffhanger.

Oh my heart is breaking. The darkness Christos lives in is so sharp and scary that you want to be on the edge just so you can be a part of it. While your heart feels for Jessie you want her to submit so she can bask in his dark domination. I can't wait to read more.

Scorchingly hot🔥🔥🔥

This is the second book in the devil and his dove series. I'm completely in love with Christos and Jessie. Their journey was full heartbreak and twists. The lengths he goes through to keep his dove amazes me. I couldn't put it down and can't wait for the final chapter in the third book. Five stars❤❤❤

This continuation to Enslaved is spot on. It hits all the emotion and you can truly feel what the characters feel. This is a very well written book. I definitely recommend it after Enslaved is read.

I give Enraptured by Jax Hart Five Stars, I would give it ten if it would allow me too. This is book two of The Devil & His Dove series and these books must be read in order. This is the continuation of book one and is a cliff hanger. This book is very well written, and will have you on the edge of you seat. I experienced so many emotions while reading this book, I didn't know if I should hate Chrsitos, feel sorry for him, love him, or push him off a cliff. Jessie, wow what can I say about her, she is amazing, strong, loves completely, is a fighter and is broken. Jax did an amazing job with the descriptions of the charterers, not only the physical but the emotional descriptions as well. I am not a Crier and I had tears more than once when I read Christos words.

Jessie thought she had escaped the devil and was trying to rebuild her broken heart and soul in a small village that she thought she would be safe in for a long time but all that changed one day when he walked into the cafe to claim his little dove back. Jessie fought and refused to go but Christos was claiming what was his even if he had to take her back unwillingly.

What will happen with Jessie will he finally break her? Will she hold on and survive? Will she give into the Devil and lose her heart again? Will Christos change? You have to read the book to find out!

Favorite Quotes:

"Because, little one... no one made me want to try. I just accepted who I was. But you - you made me want to try to actually live instead of just pretending to live. But as you know, I couldn't process the emotions that ripped through me. It's safer for you if I let them go. But I can't ever let you go, knowing you have the power to rip me apart."

"My words might seem empty. But here it is: YOU LIGHT UP MY WORLD. SET ME ON FIRE. Thank You for giving me your light..... " (won't share the rest it will ruin the book)

First I would like to start by saying I was 100% over the moon exciting to find book 2 available for ARC. I devoured book 1 this morning & half the afternoon then once getting book 2 I enthrusiasticly did the same for this one. I am completely heartbroken that he left, I know he feels that is still keeping her against her will, dismissing her feelings as Stockholm Syndrome, but I feel he is sadly mistaken. He is treating this as the whole “if you love something, set it free.....” thinking this is for her benefit more than his own. I am glad he feels like this, now he just needs to turn the mirror on himself and some much needed soul-searching. Their love is way beyond the physical side of things, I can’t wait to see what happens when his “little dove” shows how her wings work & what she is willing to do in order to fight for her soulmate. He is just a little lost boy, still searching for any type of feelings & emotions. Now he needs to stop running & trust that she will keep his heart & soul safe. To say I am excited for the final book would be a huge understatement, taking this 47y.o. back to feeling like it’s Christmas & having to wait to open my presents right now! It’s just excruciating to same the very least!

Another wonderful read by Jax Hart! This is the second book in the series and it is a heartbreaker. It focuses more on pulling at your heart strings than anything else. I could just feel Jessie's world shattering all around her, her losses, the tragedy of it all, and the battle with the love love she feels for Christos. And Christos, he is a Devil I just hate to love. He does the most evil and shocking things, but underneath it all, it's out of fear of losing her and love, even though he thinks he has no heart. These stories are so dark and raw, they make it impossible to put the book down! I found myself in tears, shocked and angry, incredibly sad, and just feeling a crazy rollercoaster of emotions reading this story. You are a captivating writer, Jax! Fast becoming one of my favorite authors! Bravo!

This story was a dark and twisted ride that I didn’t want to end. So worth the wait, yet I’m ready for more.

Jessie ran when Christos destroyed her heart in the worst way possible. He saw it as is a punishment, but to her it was the ultimate betrayal. She just wanted to forget him and start a new life. Too bad, her love for him was unforgettable.

Christos was obsessed with finding her. Letting her go, was not an option for him. Feelings he had been missing his entire life, were now wrecking him.

When Christos finally finds her, he’s determined to take her back and make her love him again. However, Jessie isn’t going to make it easy. He’s relentless and won’t ever give up. His methods are totally wrong, but his love is her undoing.

Their love is obsessive, yet their is beauty in their connection. I read this story from beginning to end in one sitting. I cannot get enough of them. I’m already impatiently waiting on the final book.

Be still my dark, Enraptured heart!

The 2nd installment was by far much better than the first. The relationship of Christos 'El Diablo' and his 'Dove' Jessie continues onward and oh my! it was page flipping FANTASTIC!!

"I fear this man but crave the things he does to me."

Christos is his ever dark soul, but torn on his emotions towards Jessie. In return, Jessie is heartbroken, confused and semi-loving the dark hearted soul in Christos. Can these two find their light in the dark shadows or is there no way out of the abyss?

Jax Hart did due diligence in the continuation of this story and was on par with the gut wrenching emotions with these characters. I honestly didn't know which way it would turn out and of course this author knows how to end a book with a cliffy. I am on pins & needles waiting to see how it all plays out in Entwined, the finale.

Beautiful sequel

Book 2 continues Jessie & Christos’ messed up love affair when Book 1 Enslaved leaves Jessie escaping the brutal attack on her heart. Yes it was a cliffhanger. Enraptured is what these two have for one another and not just are they enslaved but in book 3 coming up they are Entwined. A dark, intense, poetic romance that has the reader on edge and enthralled until the end. Ugly crying does occur and a lot of cursing as our hero and heroine battle their internal demons and struggles. Loads of beautiful lines that are perfect for graphics and memes. You feel for these characters and bask in their drama. You remain curious to see where our author leads these two dynamic personalities. Another unrequited ending that leaves the reader craving for more.

Wow!! Yet another five star book from Jax Hart. Although you might think you know how this book ends, Christos will make sure you and Jessie have a crazy ride getting there. Can they to be happy in love and make it? Well the ending left me pondering these questions. I can't wait for the next book to see how it all plays out. But reading how Christos constantly goes back and forth on how he feels about caging his dove, will definitely put you on an up-down roller coaster. you can feel what Jessie goes through. But I wish and hope that Christos decides to find faith in her and them. This is my honest review for a book I volunteered to read and I will still be purchasing it. I suggest you do too

This series is so dark in a way it is hard to believe a person wrote this. Jax Hart must have sat down and written a list so that every diabolical, nefarious and revolting thing possible would be at the author's figure tips. Christos has to be the most damage and sick person alive and Jessie what she went through and yet still loves the jerk wow! What Christos does at the end well that will tear your heart out. I am so looking forward to the next book. This book is so disturbing and unpleasant but with a touch of magic, it is so good. There is no humor in this story just raw emotion what the author has written is mind-boggling. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

Enraptured, the second installment in The Devil & His Dove series picks right up where book one ended. Christos is going mad in his search for Jessie. He refuses to believe she's gone. He will find her again and he will make sure she never has the chance to escape him again. Jessie has found sanctuary with the help of Andre and Dimitri. She is literally hiding in plain sight. She's conflicted. One part of her hopes she's seen the last of El Diablo, but the other part of her longs for the connection they share.

Jax Hart does not disappoint with this dark and fast paced 5 Star must read. The story is filled with betrayal of friendship, lies, secrets, and more twists and turns that will have you on the edge of your seat. Once again, the reader is left anxiously waiting the next installment in this wonderfully written series.

This is the second part of this amazing series, and the story continues. This series does need to be read in order, so Enslaved is to be read first in order to get an understanding and background of what this story is about. Jessie has run away due to Christos obsession with her, and he will go to any lengths to get her back. This story ends in the dreaded cliffy, and I for one cannot wait for the third book! This is a well written flawless story, which is dark, twisted, intriguing, and filled with mystery. I was completely captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I highly recommend this talented author’s work for all readers!

Enraptured is the second book is the series. I read it in one sitting. It was so good. These characters are so twisted it’s hard to wrap your head around it. After loving to hate Cristos we are shown a different side of him, a much more vulnerable side. He breaks my heart when he is able to feel all his past deeds.

Jesse doesn’t know who she is anymore. She struggles to hate her captor but underneath all her hurt and pain she knows she can’t resist him. Their love is so screwed up. Just when you think they’ll find happiness Cristos develops a conscience.

I can’t wait for the next book! Can these two lost beings find happiness or are they destined to go through life alone.

Carla's Five Star Review

As book two begins, Jessie has disappeared, and Christos is losing his mind. He is determined to get her back, and, once he does, he vows to never let her go!

Oh, Christos! He is the perfect villain-the one you love to hate and hate to love! He is beyond infuriating, but as this story continues, he begins to show some vulnerability that really makes you start to fall for him. Then there is Jessie. Poor, poor Jessie. Her mind is telling her one thing while her heart is telling her something completely different.

What an awesome story of obsession and twisted love! I can't wait to read more!

The Devil and His Dove again they pull you in and keep you wanting more of their dark romance and dark love.
There is no place that Jessie can hide that he won't find her and there is nothing he won't do to.get her back. Jessie and Christos pull you in and keep you there you won't know which way to turn. This emotional read will have you crying and breaking you heart and kinda of putting it back together till the end. There are no words that I can say that will this book justice. So can't wait for the next and see where it goes and what happens

Simply put Jax has something amazing in this book and series. It’s dark and twisted, a wild ride for sure. I read this book cover to cover in less than four hours because, I couldn’t make myself exit the rollercoaster I was on. It’s beautiful in that you want to hate them, you want to love them, and you definitely want to scream at them both for a multitude of reasons. The twists and turns while enraging are more than worth the price of admission on the ride. I will wait with baited breath for the third book to release. It’s already on pre-order!

This book deserves 10 stars , it’s that amazing!

I’m completely speechless and torn apart by this story. I love and hate Christos. This book was so brilliantly written , I couldn’t stop till the end. My words really can’t do this book or series justice. You have to buy this and experience it for yourself . It brings out such emotion you can’t help but cry, scream and fall in love with these two characters. A definite must read .
