Release Me by J. Kenner Book Review

Goodreads Description:

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. 

 

He was the one man I couldn’t avoid. And the one man I couldn’t resist. 

 

Damien Stark could have his way with any woman. He was sexy, confident, and commanding: Anything he wanted, he got. And what he wanted was me.

 

Our attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as I ached to be his, I feared the pressures of his demands. Submitting to Damien meant I had to bare the darkest truth about my past—and risk breaking us apart.

 

But Damien was haunted, too. And as our passion came to obsess us both, his secrets threatened to destroy him—and us—forever.

Release Me is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

Book Review: 

I've just been introduced to the sexy erotic world of j. Kenner. Now I'm asking myself what the heck took me so long! Ok so I've been in a fifty shades read type of mood lately and the stark series by mrs. Kenner has been on my TBR list for a while. Gideon and Christian watch out Damien stark is the new alpha dog on the erotica scene. Oh and to make this one even more juicy he had a hell raising/smart mouth TEXAS ex beauty queen/science geek on his arm. 

Damien first laid eyes on Nikki at a Texas pageant years ago and has never forgotten her. His first words have haunted her for years.."kindred spirits".  Since then Nikki has tried to reclaim her life and leave her demons in Texas to start a new life in LA. Well at an art Galla party fate would once again put her in the path of Damien stark. Let me just say who would have ever thought a foot rub and a kiss would be so freaking SEXY. My goodness this man!!! 

The game of cat and mouse between Damien/Nikki was interesting to say the least. The chemistry was off the charts but as usual life in general had a way of bringing the craziest passion to a halt. Nikki's demons ran deep. She was a cutter and once her past was revealed my heart seriously broke for her. Damien's life was a roller coaster ride. Everyone was out for a piece of him including trying to pin a murder on him. Ya I'm serious! 

Damien and Nikki's relationship was a Rough one. They both are broken. At many points in this book I honestly asked myself would their chemistry/passion be enough? Their BOND grew stronger with every turning page and it gave me hope as a reader for their relationship. This was a good start to this series. However I was left with some serious questions at the end of this one. Like what demons are haunting Damien?  Ok on to book 2!

Good job mrs. Kenner. 

Bookrating: 4 stars/B
