Blurb :Release Me:
He was the one man I couldnât avoid. And the one man I couldnât 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 pastâand risk breaking us apart. But Damien was haunted, too. And as our passion came to obsess us both, his secrets threatened to destroy himâand usâforever.
Claim Me:
For Damien, our obsession is a game. For me, it is fiercely, blindingly, real. Damien Starkâs need is palpableâhis 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.
Complete Me:
This sexy, emotionally charged romance continues the story of Damien Stark, the powerful multimillionaire whoâs never had to take ânoâ for an answer, and Nikki Fairchild, the Southern belle who only says âyesâ 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 blissâand 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.
Review :
*4,5 Stars for the emotional roller coaster ride called “Stark trilogy” *
I didn’t write any reviews at all for the other two books because I wanted to review them all together at this point. So actually, these books where on my reading list for a long time and often crossed my way. When I wanted to read “Say my name” by J. Kenner, I again was confronted with this series which is why I finally started to read them(which was a very good decision). Right from the beginning the reader is caught in a very intense and “stormy” story which lefts no place for breathing. With Damien and Nikki, you have two characters which seem very strong at first, but after finishing the last book, you can say for sure that there is a lot damage which literally cuts deep. The first and the second book got 4 Stars. I really loved them. But there were some moments when I wanted to scream as I was sure these books have so much more in stock. I have seen it, but it disappeared too fast. And then there was the third book A book in which finally, all these missed things seemed to become visible including the roller coaster ride I mentioned at the beginning of this review. The last story really got me! It was the one book of the story in which the already existing potential became real! The book felt real….
Not only because of the fact that Nikki isn’t the strong woman you have seen in her at the very beginning. And also not because Damien has secrets which really make you sob. But because this book was for me the one in which the connection between not only the two protagonist’s, but also between other characters like Jamie and so on created a story which was different. That’s why this book deseves 5 Stars, even if in the review is saying 4,5 which I want to explain. As much as I really loved their deep connection during the intimate scenes, sometimes it was just too much sex which sometimes even was described too fast and also it felt like the description was “copied” from one of the sex scenes before. With all these special siuations, for example in the changing room or in the restaurant with the chocolate, this “loss” was made up which is why I needed to rate this book with 5 Stars. I thought about this rating a lot because the moment when Damien tells Nikki who is the one who sent the pictures, I was soooooo angry as it seemed like the
end of the series was really kind of “destroyed” for me. It happened in such a rush that I was like *Really, they have gone through all this shit and this is how they are going to reveal everything? And then it’s this person?”Up from the middle of the last book, this possible ending came to my mind more than once which is why I wasn’t that surprised about the end at all. But the things they connected with it really made it a 5 Star-read. I really would like to get to know more about Sofia. Really…. Get to know her story. Her past…perhaps even together with Damien. Thanks for these awesome books!
