Release Me by J. Kenner

Release Me (Stark Trilogy, #1)
Release Me by J. Kenner



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.

Jen's Review

Well if you read the blurb thinking this is like fifty shades, you'll be disappointed. The blurb actually says for fans that like those books ... still not sure why , the only similarity they had was the billizianaire alpha male who thinks he can have whatever he wants no matter the cost.

And Nikki's price was one million dollars . Damien could have anyone he wants, but when they met years ago briefly at a beauty pageant, Damien saw something in that sad girl that called to him.
He watched her over the years, trying to make her life easier without her knowing.

And when the time was right, they met at an art gallery.
Nikki is new in town. Finally breaking ties with her awful mother, she is finally where she wants to be. Starting a new job, and living with her best friend.

At the gallery, she is there with her new boss to try to get new clients interested. But their main focus is the famous Damien Stark - to try to get a meeting scheduled with him.

When Damien and Nikki's eyes meet from across the room the pull is so strong everyone notices.
When the meeting is set, Nikki's boss lets her know they need to get back to the office to prepare. but Damien isn't going to have that.
He offers to drive Nikki back, he needs her opinion on the paintings, because he is looking for the perfect painting for his new house...

Only he doesn't let her know he already knows what he wants painted....

The sex scenes were typical of this genre; some role-playing, a few toys, phone sex, call me sir stuff  “Possess. Have. Hold. Enjoy. Control. Dominate. Pick your verb, Ms. Fairchild. I intend to explore so very many of them.”-Damien

So yeah - that was the story - Damien is hot - I love that sexy CEO rich guy with a troubled past. Throw in an insecure but strong independent woman who secretly craves his attention - and you're ready to start this journey.
The book doesn't leave you with a huge cliffhanger, but it sets it up nicely for the next book Claim Me that will be coming out in July 2013 - Followed by Complete me in December 2013 :)
