[image error] It was mediocre.And I HATE that.Let's talk about BDSM for a second, okay? BDSM isn't a mediocre thing. It's pretty intense. Right? I mean, the entire "Fifty Shades of Grey"; "Up in the Air"; "Crossfire" series were INTENSE.As they should be! But then you have the "Stark Trilogy". And it's half-assed. (Excuse the lingo!) But that's what it was. I didn't love or hate the characters.I didn't love or hate the story.I didn't love or hate the dialogue.I didn't love or hate the writing

"For fans of Fifty Shades of Grey and Bared to You comes an erotic, emotionally charged romance between a powerful man who’s never heard “no” and a fiery woman who says “yes” on her own terms." Blah… blah… blah…. So tired of the comparison to FSoG and BtY as the hook to entice readers to pick up a book. I do get it, just sick of it. Like this book is going to win an award for THE NEXT IT BOOK!Okay, so I requested an ARC of this book and was thrilled that my request was granted… I of course have

BOOK #5 IS COMING OUT IN 2 DAYS!In need of a fresh start, Nikki Fairchild moves from Texas to Los Angeles to live with her best friend and honor her degrees in electrical engineering and computer science. And just four days after arriving at the city of angels, she is asked by her boss to attend a party to get Damien Stark’s attention. What her boss doesn’t know is that they go way back to when they met at one of her pageants. “You’re staring,” I finally say.“You’re beautiful.” Damien Stark is...

★★★★ 1/2! Stark Trilogy, book 1 (3.5). A debut by J. Kenner. The coming-together of two lost souls as multi-billionaire & kinky lover Damien Stark sets out on a relentless seduction of Southern belle Nikki Fairchild! “Because I can. Because I want you. Because I don’t want to court my way up to our first fuck. And because I don’t want to play games.” The Stark Trilogy is the whirlwind romance between former youth tennis-pro and self-made multi-billionaire Damien Sta

Yes, with DAMIEN STARK!!!! I know he’s yours Nikki….but I really liked this book. I know a lot of readers have commented on it being a lot like FSOG (which I have read and loved……https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) and Bared to You (which I haven’t read but it’s on my TBR list).I suppose there are a few similarities between this book and FSOG – the controlling and sexy billionaire who becomes obsessed with gorgeous and damaged woman, etc…but the one big difference is the writi

Oh god what can I say about Damien???He is many things; sexy, smart, confident and irresistible. He is one man that can get whatever he wants, whether charming his way there or using the many resources he has at his disposal. Few can resist him and now he's spotted the perfect woman and is determined to have her!!!I like him from the first time I saw him..I love Damien and Nikki together. She softens the hard edges of his heart just enough for you to really feel the depth of his feelings for her...

'You’re mine,' he says.'I know,' I reply, and I mean it completely. This is another one of those books that will inevitably be compared to Fifty Shades and the Crossfire books which is really going to deter as many readers as it attracts but, in my opinion at least, this is a really good one, even if it is very similar. If you like a darkly brooding, domineering hero, a feisty yet troubled heroine and a kinky, sexy romance, you’re going to want to check this one out. This is deeply sensual an

"He’s like an iceberg, Texas. The deep parts are well hidden and what you do see is hard and a little bit cold." What to say about this book... Read this quote, you'll know enough :D His mouth is at my ear, his voice so carnal, so full of lust, it makes my clit throb. “I’m going to f*ck you, Nikki. Pleasure? We’re going to blow the roof off pleasure. I’m going to make you beg for it. I’m going to claim you. I’m going to tease you. I’m going to torment you. And you’re going to come for me

So, there's a new sexy billionaire in town,And his name is,Damien Stark... "He's tall and so handsome that the word is almost an insult. He is Jason and Hercules and Perseus - a figure so strong and beautiful and heroic that the blood of the gods must flow through him, because how else could a being so fine exist in this world?" - Okay, enough with the cheesy descriptions; let's just say he's a former well trained, athletic tennis player who now owns an entire empire of several busines...

Here we go again. Another romance book about a gorgeous billionaire businessman (who knew that there were so many of them?) and his lady love. Meet Damien Stark, a former tennis star and now rich entrepreneur. Damien is handsome, beautiful, magnificent – insert adjectives here. In fact, he is so stunning that the first third of the book is dedicated to waxing poetic about Damien’s good looks. I get it! He’s rich and powerful and gorgeous. Can we get on with the story, please?I did like Damien’s

Damien Stark is just one of those dark, quiet types. He’s like an iceberg, Texas. The deep parts are well hidden and what you do see is hard and a little bit cold.” Well what can I tell you about my thoughts on this book...seems to be an adequate description.I didn't love it. I didn't hate it. To be honest, I'm having a hard time remembering anything about it and I just finished reading it.I never really connected with the story, or the characters. I suppose you can say it was a case of 'been

DNF. I made it 25% in, but nothing about this story was grabbing me. It is clearly trying to be a knock-off of the Fifty Shades and Crossfire series, and it was NOT working for me. Damian is a bazillionaire hottie with an obsession for the sexy 24 y/o Texas college graduate Nikki; an obsession that apparently goes back many years. They only met briefly once 6 years ago, then again at a swanky party in LA California. They immediately start circling and sniffing each other like dogs in heat, spewi...

BOYS AND GIRLS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I WOULD LIKE YOU ALL TO MEET THE MAN OF THE HOUR - MR. DAMIEN STARK: He’s tall and so handsome that the word is almost an insult. But it’s more than that. It’s not his looks, it’s his presence. He is Jason and Hercules and Perseus—a figure so strong and beautiful and heroic that the blood of the gods must flow through him, because how else could a being so fine exist in this world? His face consists of hard lines and angles that seem sculpted by light and

5 smutastic stars!Yes. This is another story about an impossibly gorgeous bazillionare who becomes obsessed with a mysterious & more than slightly broken young woman. Yes. There are countless books out there focusing on the same or a similar theme. What makes this one different? What makes this one stand out among the countless other books attempting to jump on the Fifty Shades of Grey & Bared to You bandwagon? It's very simple. The writing.J Kenner is a good author. I mean, really good. Her wri...
