COMPLETE ME (the Stark Trilogy #3) - Review


Complete Me (Book 3 in the Stark Trilogy)
By J. Kenner
Published by: Bantam
Publication Date: July 30, 2013
This sexy, emotionally charged romance continues the story of Damien Stark, the powerful multimillionaire who’s never had to take “no” for an answer, and Nikki Fairchild, the Southern belle who only says “yes” on her own terms.

Our desire runs deep. But our secrets cut close. Beautiful, strong, and commanding, Damien Stark fills a void in me that no other man can touch. His fierce cravings push me beyond the brink of bliss—and unleash a wild passion that utterly consumes us both.

Yet beneath his need for dominance, he carries the wounds of a painful past. Haunted by a legacy of dark secrets and broken trust, he seeks release in our shared ecstasy, the heat between us burning stronger each day.

Our attraction is undeniable, our obsession inevitable. Yet not even Damien can run from his ghosts, or shield us from the dangers yet to come.

Complete Me is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

Review:
I completely love this couple! Nikki and Damien are amazing together. Their quirks complement each other and their need to give and take feeds off their attraction. They are one hot couple! Complete Me is the perfect conclusion for their story, and just getting Nikki’s side strengthens the mystery that is Damien Stark, and raises the suspense for the reader.

I would say this is the most suspenseful book of the trilogy, and the best part is we get so many answers. Some that I never saw coming. Julie has created a couple that is so intensely connected, that even I, as the reader, felt I was a part of them. My heart raced right along with Nikki’s and of course I could feel the passion between them. I felt both of their hearts breaking and their struggle to overcome the crazy situations they’ve found themselves in.

As a whole, this trilogy is certainly one of my favorites. I strongly recommend it to those of you who loved 50 Shades of Grey, The Crossfire Series, and Gail McHugh’s Collide. There’s sex, passion and love mixed with suspense, fire and danger. The Stark Trilogy is the complete package of emotion! It’s an experience you definitely don’t want to miss!

RELEASE DAY Review: CLAIM ME - by J. Kenner

Claim Me (Stark Trilogy #2)
by: J. Kenner
Published by: Random House Publishing Group - Bantam Dell
Publication Date: April 23, 2013

For fans of Fifty Shades of Grey and Bared to You comes the second novel in the erotic, fast-paced trilogy that started with Release Me. This sexy, emotionally charged romance continues the story of Damien Stark, the powerful multimillionaire who’s never had to take “no” for an answer, and Nikki Fairchild, the Southern belle who only says “yes” on her own terms.

For Damien, our obsession is a game. For me, it is fiercely, blindingly, real.
 
Damien Stark’s need is palpable—his need for pleasure, his need for control, his need for me. Beautiful and brilliant yet tortured at his core, he is in every way my match.
 
I have agreed to be his alone, and now I want him to be fully mine. I want us to possess each other beyond the sweetest edge of our ecstasy, into the deepest desires of our souls. To let the fire that burns between us consume us both.
 
But there are dark places within Damien that not even our wildest passion can touch. I yearn to know his secrets, yearn for him to surrender to me as I have surrendered to him. But our troubled pasts will either bind us close . . . or shatter us completely.
 
Claim Me is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

REVIEW:

Well, I thought book one had me hooked, but after reading this steamy sequel, I'm all wrapped up in Damien and Nikki! One thing I really love about this series so far is that Damien, while definitely falling on the male dominant side of the spectrum, is so very obviously trying to do right by Nikki. The relationship between these two characters is HOT but sweet at the same time. This follow up to Release Me opens so many doors to secrets and truly astonishing truths. 

While this book is very heavy on the sex, it's not what drives the story. Yes, there is a lot of very descriptive and erotic action; however, the story is more character driven in my opinion. Everything is revolving around the secrets and blossoming relationship between Damien and Nikki. I love the way his actions revolve around her and his need to protect her, even from himself, but what really captured me was Nikki's determination to face everything (when you read the book you'll understand what I mean by "everything") and basically plow through it head on in order to be by Damien's side when he needs her most. The devotion to each other is endearing, but add in the ferocious sexual appetite between them and DAMN, look out, because here comes the next fictional powerhouse couple!
