I’ve long dreamed of my fairy-tale wedding, but it wasn’t until I met Damien Stark—who captured me with his kisses and undid me with his touch—that I began to believe it was my destiny. Though we both carry secrets and scars, our shared passion heals us, binding us together. We have surrendered to each other completely, and our mutual ecstasy is the brightest light in my life. But darkness still snakes through the cracks in our armor. Ghosts from our past have moved in, bringing fresh pain that cuts deep and threatens to destroy everything we hold dear. Damien is my anchor to this world, and I am his. But if we are going to keep each other, we have to fight the shadows of our pasts to move forward into our future.

On My Knees by J Kenner

About ON MY KNEES

Jackson Steele and Sylvia Brooks continue to thrill in the second novel of a scintillating, emotionally charged new trilogy that returns to the world of J. Kenner’s beloved Stark novels: Release Me, Claim Me, and Complete Me.

I never thought I’d lose control, but his desire took me right to the edge.

Powerful, ambitious, and devastatingly sexy, Jackson Steele was unlike any other man I’d ever known. He went after what he wanted with his whole mind, body, and soul—and I was the woman in his sights. One touch and I surrendered, one night together and I was undone.

Jackson and I had secrets, dark pieces of our pasts that threatened to swallow us both. We couldn’t outrun our demons, or the people trying to tear us apart. But in our passion we found salvation, and in each other’s arms we found release.

I was scared to trust Jackson fully, to finally let go. Yet no matter the dangers that lay ahead, I knew I was his—and now that we’ve laid claim, there’s no more holding back.

On My Knees is intended for mature audiences.

I am a huge J Kenner fan. I loved her from the second I met Nikki and Damien and followed her through the Most Wanted series. I have just adored the Stark World so any time I can catch further glimpses into it, I am there.

But Sylvia and Jackson stand on their own merit as a story. They are wonderfully rich characters, complex in their motivations and feelings for each other. Syl's friend Cass is a great sidekick, too. Comic relief and the voice of reason, she helps to solidify how the story comes together., both in the first book and this one..

With a cliffhanger on this book, I am anxiously waiting on the next. Who am I kidding, I am anxiously waiting on anything Julie Kenner writes.
 
Review by pearls
If you like lots of steamy scenes to go with your plot, this is the book for you.  After a long fight to be together in book 1, the secrets they've played close to the vest are being revealed as they learn to trust another for the first time.  Caught in the flash of the paparazzi, their love will either burn brighter or die. Together they must learn to overcome their past, sidestep the obstacles in their present if they want a future together.  And they must learn that sometimes you have to give up control and take risks if you want to grab that HEA.  I really like Jackson Steele as a man and I can relate to Sylvia a lot.

Say My Name

Say My Name
Stark International  Book 1
by J. Kenner
an Erotica Romance
from  Bantam, Random House


Book Description:

New York Times bestselling author J. Kenner kicks off a smoking hot, emotionally compelling new erotic trilogy that returns to the world of her beloved Stark novels:
 Release Me, Claim Me, and Complete Me. Say My Name features Jackson Steele, a strong-willed man who goes after what he wants, and Sylvia Brooks, a disciplined woman who’s hard to get—and exactly who Jackson needs.
I never let anyone get too close—but he’s the only man who’s ever made me feel alive.

Meeting Jackson Steele was a shock to my senses. Confident and commanding, he could take charge of any room . . . or any woman. And Jackson wanted me. The mere sight of him took my breath away, and his touch made me break all my rules.
Our bond was immediate, our passion untamed. I wanted to surrender completely to his kiss, but I couldn’t risk his knowing the truth about my past. Yet Jackson carried secrets too, and in our desire we found our escape, pushing our boundaries as far as they could go.

Learning to trust is never easy. In my mind, I knew I should run. But in my heart, I never felt a fire this strong—and it could either save me or scorch me forever.

Say My Name is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

Review by TinkNCognito
I just finished Say My Name by J Kenner and WOW. I love J Kenner's Stark series and she has another hit on her hands with this book. I have been reluctant to leave the Stark universe and now I got a chance at another peek, even if from a new perspective.

This book centers on Sylvia - Damien's personal assistant and want to be project manager. She is given the chance to manage a project for a new property when the architect sets down. In order to keep it going, she must convince Jackson Steele, renown architect and Damien hater, that he is the right man for the job. But she forgot to mention that she and Jackson have a history. A very intense, very short lived history.

Jackson agrees to design the property but that agreement comes with a price! The question - is that price too high?

The character of Sylvia is fascinating. Her relationship with her best friend Cass is fascinating and I really got sucked in very quickly. And then comes Jackson. He is arrogant, charming, smart, and who wouldn't love this guy. Sparks fly immediately with Syl. But they each have a past and secrets that tore them apart once. Can they get past those secrets to work together? Even more, can they tell their secrets in order to be together?

The story moves quickly because it is so hard to put down. I read at every opportunity because I really wanted to see where the masterful Ms. Kenner was going to take it. There were lots of twists and turns, most of which I didn't predict but when all was revealed, it was all very believable.

Now I have to wait anxiously for the next book in what will hopefully be a long line of books set in the Stark world.
 
Review by pearls
 
Jackson Steele is a man who bends the world to suit his vision.  The only thing he couldn't conquer was Sylvia.  Sylvia has her own demons to slay, and Jackson realizes his role is to support her.  I love that he is a big strong Alpha, but willing to put her needs first.  Sylvia has been on survival mode for the last decade.  Jackson threatens to crack that carefully constructed façade.  Can she trust him?  The author weaves in just enough doubt to keep you wondering, yet making Jackson appear the white knight you want him to be. The chemistry between the two is hot and sizzling. As the world unravels around them, Jackson  and Sylvia work on building trusting between themselves. But with a shocking twist at the end, this story could go either way.  Ready for book 2!
