From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Eden Bradley~the continuation of her tale of ultimate surrender found in Book One of The Training House Series, GIRL

Being broken has never been such beautiful torture…

I am Christopher. I am most specifically not called Boy in this exclusive slave training arena where every submissive male is known as ‘Boy’. They don’t let me retain my identity—they make me. They keep me in my head, in my body, no matter what they’re doing to me, because they know I require it. They call me brat. They call me rebel. These terms are far too bland to describe what I really am. I am anger in chains. I am seething sexual animal. I am the worst kind of f*ck-up.

The Master loves me. Maybe only because the level of my misbehavior challenges him to come up with new and terrible punishments. Do I sound proud? I am. I also love him, in my way. It’s a strange dynamic, one that has never been disrupted by anyone. Until I saw the new Girl.

Fresh-faced and indescribably lovely. Burning alchemical reaction that threatened to consume me the moment I saw her. I will call her Aimee. I refuse to play the Master’s games. Because for reasons I don’t understand, she is instantly more to me than any of the other Girls. What will she think of me? The ultimate anarchist. The keeper of secrets. The unbreakable one. Why do I even care? All I know is that I do. And that this Girl could ultimately be the one who finally breaks me.

This book explores the unconventional romantic story between two bdsm slaves. For a short story this book accomplished a lot! I loved the character development of Christopher and his obsession with Aimee. The awakening of his dominant side and his strong desire to own her were amazing! I liked the dynamics surrounding him. So, my overall view on this one is that I liked it. I liked the story for the most part, and I liked the hero. I just needed more action and drama. Definitely worth the read.

Boy is freakin' intense. After reading Girl, I couldn't wait to read Boy. You should most definitely read it first. Fair warning this is hardcore Dominance and submission. Not forced as this is about a choice they have both made to bring them to where they are now...faced with another choice. Christopher and Aimee came to the Training House and have given themselves to their Master. Then they fall for each other and it changes everything. This is one of those stories that most definitely make me feel uncomfortable in its intensity, but I couldn't stop reading it and can't wait to read more.

I give Boy 5 hearts!

Wow. Just Wow! Sometimes you find an author that blows you away with such an intense story/series with characters that are raw and intense in a story that hooks you from the first page. Those moments are special. This series is one of those moments.

This is the second book in Eden Bradley's Training house series and you MUST read GIRL first since BOY picks up immediately and moves this unbelievably good story forward. This edgy, dark tale pushes the limits to deliver a powerful, emotionally -charged story. Behind the kink, and oh my, there is plenty of kink, is a love story between girl, boy and Master. This series is unique and addictive, exploring the consensual relationship between Master and slaves. And again, Ms. Bradley leaves us with a cliff hanger that has me on the edge of my seat, wondering if they will find a happy ending.

Favorite Quotes:
Boy: And for the first time since I was a kid, I have to admit I feel...afraid.

Boy: I don't want to break his heart. But I want to break my own even less-I've only recently discovered I really have one.

When you one-click the next book in a series there's always a sense of mixed anticipation and trepidation; you loved the previous book and can't wait to delve back into the story again, but at the same time you worry that it won't stack up against the last one. In my opinion Eden Bradley nailed it with this one; I loved it just as much as the first.

There is, again, extreme kink, but it's written in such a way that we, the reader can celebrate and enjoy it and not feel guilty. I did get to the end of the book and have a WTF moment; for some reason I assumed there were only going to be 2 books, but there obviously isn't. At least I hope there isn't!! Now begins the long wait for the next one. Are we there yet?

I was looking at the samples and I went ahead and skipped the first book and read this one instead as I really loved his point of view. however, now its making me want to read the girl's version and what happened from the start. shame on me. the training house and the titles are very appropriate and seems to continue right off from the first book and also ends in a cliffhanger for the third book. I liked the author's delivery in how each book is in each different point of view. it really helps you understand the character this way. thrilling and suspenseful, his switching character really has me rooting for him though that ending with the master shows how much they both have fallen for her. I'm very curious of the master and knowing that the third book is in his POV makes it so much more enjoyable to look forward to

Disappointing; I enjoyed this a lot less than Girl. It never really fulfilled the promise the first book started with,it was very short and underdeveloped, it had no real beginning and then just stopped. Not sure I am sufficiently interested to read the third.

Boy book #2 in the Training House series was a disturbing 5 star read.
Romance, Mind F#ck, Dark & Erotic, Hot Alpha

I feel almost unbearably protective of her. My girl. Mine. Something that belongs to me for the first time in my life. No. Somone.

What a hot and twisted read.

This is Christopher and Aimee’s story told in Christopher's POV. Boy starts right where Girl left off. Christopher and Aimee find themselves being transported away from their master. Only Christopher understands where they are headed, when he realizes Aimee is in the van with him his primal instincts kick in.

Christopher is trying to understand his attraction towards Aimee and his need to top her and take her for himself. The games that are played at the ranch are quite jaw dropping and I had to read a couple of different times to really catch everything.

Christopher plots his escape and plans to take Aimee with him. He can’t help but feel bad for betraying his Master but he can’t get past his need for Aimee. Will they be able to get away?
Boy ends in a huge cliffhanger that will leave you wanting answers immediately.

“Prettiness, have I told you how much I love that you wear my marks?”

I have to say this is the first series that I have read that has this type of BDSM. The biting and blood shed at times would make me cringe but I couldn’t look away. This was a quick read that I suggest you read at home due to the content.This is definitely a book that could hold some triggers for some readers. 18+ is recommended.
Thank you Eden for a very interesting read and look into this type of lifestyle, I can’t wait to see what happens next.

One word sums up Eden Bradley’s Boy...Spectacular. Oh. My. Goodness. How is it possible for a book to make me feel like my emotions have been tossed in the surf and thrown against the rocks? I think I sat and stared at the wall, my heart pounding, for about an hour after finishing the second novella in The Training House series. Boy follows directly on the heels of Girl, this time from Christopher’s point of view. It immerses us even further into the world of those who have signed themselves over, body and soul, to the Masters/Mistresses of this unique place. If you thought your boundaries were being pushed in Girl... to quote Bette Davis in All About Eve, Fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a bumpy night.

Christopher knows exactly where the van is headed. The Primal Ranch. It isn’t the first time he’s been grabbed in the dark of night, arms and legs chained, a hood yanked over his head. What is it this time, punishment or reward? He has a pretty good idea. Being sent to the Ranch has always been a love/hate thing for Christopher. When he discovers he’s not alone in the van he knows exactly why Master has sent them away. And his head spins with possibilities.

This is new. I inhale, and the minute I do I know it’s her. Her. The beautiful new slave Girl I saw a few weeks ago in the school room. The Girl with the long red hair and the innocent face, and the lush, pink mouth that makes me think of nothing but sex.
I wish I’d been the one to slip the black bag over her head and throw her over my shoulder. My dick is doing a mad, twitching dance just thinking about it.

Aimée affects Christopher in ways he has yet to fully understand. She makes him feel things he’s shoved aside and ignored for years. His inner battle between the need to be powerless and the ache to dominate is suddenly brought into focus. Can he give Aimée what she needs and wants? More importantly, can he give up a part of himself to do so?

Christopher’s story is richly detailed, psychologically intriguing, and intensely erotic. Ms. Bradley does an exquisite job of putting us inside Christopher’s head, showing us this kinky and oftentimes bizarre world through his eyes. There were scenes that made me cringe yet at the same time utterly turned me on! If it were indeed possible for a character’s feelings to reach out and grab the reader, Ms. Bradley has come pretty damn close to accomplishing it.
I’m on pins and needles waiting to find out what happens next in this fantastic series!

Boy picks up exactly where Girl left off with Christopher and Aimée being hauled away in chains and hoods. This installment is told from Christopher’s point of view, and it contains all the same vivid, visceral grittiness of Girl. As I indicated in my review for Girl, this is absolutely not, under any circumstances, a book for BDSM dabblers, those who like the fluffy bunny version of D/s. This is total immersion into the world of kink, consensual non-con, the truest of the true to the hardest core of the lifestyle.

Boy delves into the depths of the human psyche as Christopher struggles with his submission, peeling back the layers that made up the intriguing person from the first book. Additionally, we learn more about Aimée and how she came to be part of the House. The emotional growth of these two characters is buttressed by their interactions with peripheral characters, with their surroundings, and with some surprising loops thrown in.

As is clearly the norm, Ms. Bradley’s writing is superb, her characters dynamic and engaging, and her world building so detailed that you can readily see and smell the environments as if you were standing among and interacting with the characters. There are vast quantities of emotional experiences that will build you up and tear you down, as the depth and breadth of this book captivates you. Five stars of amazing quality, and I am waiting with bated breath for the next installment of this mind-blowing series, Master!

This is my first time reading anything by Eden Bradley and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this emotional story, I recommend to read the first book of this series before reading this one. This is Christopher's and Aimee story, this story is told in Christopher's point of view. This book starts where book 1 which is called "GIRL" left off. Both Aimee and Christopher is being transported to the primal ranch to continue their training ,and that is where their grew more closer then ever before. Then Christopher starts to share some dialogue which he ever spoken to anyone about these things before now. As you are reading this story you can exactly feel the bond these to have with each other, especially with Christopher as he struggles with his position in the D/LIFESTYLE . I won't go into the details because I don't want to spoil the read for anyone. But their journey together is totally changing and growing so much with each other and with master Damon .Master Damon is worrying that he's losing his Aimee and Christopher .The whole intense of their relationship in all 3 is changing ,their directions with each other and their life! As soon as I started reading to book it had my full attention from start to finish and most of the time I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to come next with these two charming people. Yes the sex is steamy and is dirty. Icould go on and tell you much more about this great story but that would totally spoil it for you's .I highly recommend that you read this amazing series you won't be disappointed i wasn't.

Boy I have never been so happy to be unable to move (fibro) as I was the day Boy released! It gave me reason to be able to to lay flat and just enjoy Eden Bradley at her best. If you have not read Girl (The Training House Book 1) I would HIGHLY recommend reading it. I re-read it and then went into this book but that is because I have short term memory loss and wanted to make sure I got the best out of BOY.

Boy does take over straight from where Girl left off. This is one intense book that really gives you a deep understanding into the mind of a submissive/slave. This book comes from someone who knows what they are talking about so it is trustworthy and not dribble.

Christopher and Aimee have a very unique bond that at times confused me and I think even confused themselves. Then add Master Damon and things really got going. There is so much I could say and want to say but that would spoil this amazing book for you. I read this by myself yesterday but I will be reading it again with my husband this weekend. OH what to do with my daughter and grand daughter who live with us. This is definitely a book that can be read with partners if you are both interested or into the lifestyle.

I am looking forward to more from Eden Bradley and The Training House ...Yes Much Much more please and quickly Mistress!!

Book 2 in The Training House series, and a hell of a book!!! Love it, love it, love it... It starts in perfect sync with how book 1 ended and the flow was spot on and i REALLY loved how it was written as Christopher's POV.
Aimèe and Christopher are taken to the Primal Ranch to continue in their training, where they grow closer than ever. Christopher even shares conversations with her of which he hasn't spoken to others about!
You can literally feel their bond growing quickly especially as Christopher struggles with his postion in the D/s lifestyle.
I refuse to go to into details as i don't want to spoil the joy of reading this book from others, but i will say...
Their journey together is changing and growing and with Master Damon worried that he is losing his Amièe to Christopher, the whole dynamic of the relationship is changing in all 3 directions! I couldn't put it down once i started and yes the sex is hot and extremely dirty... Perfection... Eden has done it agin with yet another kickass book!!!

Training House: Boy is the second book in the Training House series. This installment follows Christopher as he is taken to the Primal Ranch with Aimee as a sort of punishment. We never really find out why he is there, other than maybe Master feels to close to both Christopher and Aimee and must distance himself. Primal Ranch is a kind of training facility with a splash of Hunger Games mixed in. However, you must take down other slaves and your prize is to conquer the other slaves sexually. Christopher has his sights set on Aimee and will not let anything stop him.

As with the first book, Boy gives us some real raw and dirty dark erotic sex between Christopher and Aimee and Christopher and his handler Victor. Whether it is the M/F scenes or the M/M scenes they are all HOT. Boy moves fast and steady to bring you a great story through the eyes of Christopher and his undeniable attraction with Aimee. Will they have a HEA at the end or will they have to answer to Master?

This is the second book in Eden Bradley's Training

house series and you MUST read GIRL first since

BOY picks up immediately and moves this

unbelievably good story forward. This edgy, dark

tale pushes the limits to deliver a powerful,

emotionally -charged story. Behind the kink, and

oh my, there is plenty of kink, is a love story

between girl, boy and Master. This series is

unique and addictive, exploring the consensual

relationship between Master and slaves.

Boy has to be one of my favorite characters by

far. After having suprized me by getting to the

girl in the first book. He is full of suprizes in

this one as well

Mind blowing, heart wrenching, stunning read! It took me few days to process my thoughts about this book so I could write a review, WOW! I was totally consumed by this intense, tragic, dark, beautiful read.
In order to fully understand and appreciate Boy you need to read Girl first.
Boy is Master Damon's favorite male slave. He's allowed to keep his name Christopher, and although he too loves the lifestyle of being a slave, after meeting Girl, things change. Christopher is the real prince of darkness who is both slave and master of mindf**king. After Boy and Girl are taken to the Ranch, Boy wrestles with the idea of leaving behind the life of slavery and take Girl with him. They make their escape, and all is falling into place...until Master Damon finds them.

WOW!!! Intense!

This book was even better than the first one and I LOVED that one as well!
Christopher is a dichotomy. I enjoy seeing the way that he thinks, even if I don't understand it. This book is raw, angsty, hard, sexy, and more. The way he is with Aimee is wonderful. We watch them develop their feelings for each other.

Warning - this book is not for the faint of heart. It is hardcore BDSM (in my opinion). Contains m/m, forced (consensual), whipping, anal and more. It may cause triggers for some people.
Ends in a cliffhanger.
I am anxiously awaiting the last book!!!

Boy is the second book in The Training House series by Eden Bradley. I thought the first book was good, but I fell in love with this book. This story begins where Girl left off.
Christopher is a slave to the same Master as Aimee. He pushes boundaries and does what he can to get punished. Especially when it comes to his smart mouth. Everything changes for him when he sees the new girl.
This book also ends on a cliffhanger. Once again, I can't recommend it enough. Eden Bradley writes so there is more going on than just BDSM. Her storylines are great!

I need to rest and collect my thoughts before I write my review...hours later. I'm still at a loss for words at the end of this book. I'm completely submerged in a world I've only yet to read about but feel like I'm so much more attuned to now. Just reading into Christopher's thoughts is the ultimate mindf*ck!

I went through an emotional roller coaster while reading this book. This story just tugs at your heart and makes you feel things I wasn't sure I should or could feel. Even though this is a series each story grips you so tight I can't wait for the entire series I have to own these in print. I cannot wait to see what she has up for us in Master. I think everyone should read this gripping journey.

Spicy As Usual

In this installment we follow Boy, also known as Christopher, through his journey with Girl from book one. I feel like I enjoyed this one more because we see and find out that there is more to the BDSM world than just the kink and the sex. We see that the coldest and most heartless character in the story can, in fact, feel and find love. Can’t wait to read Master, the next book in the series to find out what happens next!

This is said wonderfully dark follow-up to GIRL. Once again, Eden shows her intimate knowledge of the kink scene and the chemistry between Christopher and Aimee is scorching hot.

Eden touches the psychological aspect of D/s a little more, I liked this story so very much, Christopher and Aimee, you can envision them in your mind, and how beautiful they must be together. Again hot, hot, hot is a good description of the sex, the play is rough and it is hot. So far I recommend this series, I can't wait for the Master.

So, this one is not for the faint of heart!
Although can be read as a standalone it is a good follow on from 'Girl'

Like Girl, this story has a dark edgy feel and had me putting the book down to take a deep breath, uncringe and carry on.

If you like dark and edge BDSM this series is for you.

Boy by Eden Bradley is a continuation of "Girl" but told by a male slave, who also has the traits and mannerism of a Dominant. After being take to Primal ranch with the Girl you get to see a different sides of slaves and how they interact with each.
