About this ebook

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

Jackson Steele and Sylvia Brooks continue to thrill in the second novel of a scintillating, emotionally charged 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.

Ratings and reviews

And that's another winner by the amazing J. Kenner. I fell in love with Jackson and Sylvia in Say My Name and since then I so couldn't wait to find out what will happen next for them. And I have to say that I wasn't disappointed. The story was intriguing and captivating, full with romance and hotness, some danger and peppered with secrets and unexpected twists. For me the whole story was quite captivating. Jackson was still his delicious self and I can guarantee that he will put your panties on fire. The sexual chemistry between him and Sylvia is even more charged than in the first book. And I can guarantee that it will melt your panties. But what I enjoyed the most, was actually seeing another side of him. I have to say that I quite liked his vulnerable side. Seeing it in connection to his feelings for Sylvia was definitely something catching the eye. And there is actually a secret in the book that I am sure it will make you fall even harder for Jackson. It's just something no woman can resist in a man :) And I am not talking about his dominant streak, protectiveness or even his pantie melting looks :) But I will leave you guessing ;) You will have to just read the book and find out :D OnMyKneesTeaseAs for Sylvia, I have to say that I was somewhat surprised by her. I liked the additional depth that was added to her character. I didn't agree with all her decisions but I do admire her inner strength. And I actually kind of do understand where she comes from. Living through the nightmare she lived as a teenager could've destroyed her but she found a way to survive. I liked that I was given even more background information on her history. And that that she managed to survive pretty much intact is definitely admirable. It is true that he hasn't really dealt with the scars but with Jackson's help, she finally finds her way towards healing. He is her rock and the one person who manages to show her how strong she really is. They do have their bumps on the road but after each one they emerge stronger. As a whole, the book is great. It is interesting, entertaining and definitely sizzling hot. It is peppered with secrets and unexpected twists that will leave your head spinning. I think that you will love the book but keep in mind that it is not a standalone and you have to read Say My Name first. And be ready for some major cliffhanger. I can guarantee that you will be craving to get your hands on the third part as fast as possible :) So get your #oneclick finger ready and pick up the first two books in the Stark International Trilogy. It will be definitely worth it :) This review was originally posted at Living In Our Own Story Book Blog. I received an ARC of the book in exchange of an honest review.

This latest series involving Jackson Steele and Sylvia is hot, thrilling, heart wrenching and on the edge of your seat suspenseful. The sex scenes are erotic and the story line leaves you wanting more. I had trouble putting this book down to get work done. I can't wait until the next book is released.

Everything come together and Jackson and the rest of the family are all together. A few small set backs but nothing that will cause the reader not to turn in to the next page.
