About this ebook

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julie Kenner comes a new story in her Stark International series…  

Sometimes passion has a price …

When sexy Stark Security Chief Ryan Hunter whisks his girlfriend Jamie Archer away for a passionate, romance-filled weekend so he can finally pop the question, he’s certain that the answer will be an enthusiastic yes. So when Jamie tries to avoid the conversation, hiding her fears of commitment and change under a blanket of wild sensuality and decadent playtime in bed, Ryan is more determined than ever to convince Jamie that they belong together.

Knowing there’s no halfway with this woman, Ryan gives her an ultimatum – marry him or walk away.  Now Jamie is forced to face her deepest insecurities or risk destroying the best thing in her life. And it will take all of her strength, and all of Ryan’s love, to keep her right where she belongs…

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world.  And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Ratings and reviews

There is something about reading a J. Kenner book that always feels right for me. She was one of the first authors I discovered when I first started reading romance so getting a new book from her always feels like I'm reuniting with a first love. There is a familiar tone in her stories, sort of like hearing a familiar melody over and over again. Tempt Me is full of tangible emotions and delicious heat. While I don't particularly care for some of her word choices, overall I find her writing really deep, thoughtful and beautiful. I would really love it if she would venture into some male POV chapters in her future books because I'm dying to know what these men are thinking!

Tempt Me is 5 stars amazing!!! You will find Tempt Me as a sexy, thrilling, and emotional feel good read. And yes there are some sexy abs involved. Who does not love Jamie and Ryan’s story. Especially when Jamie has been so standoffish from love for so long until she met Ryan Hunter. I have loved all of the Stark Novella’s and followed each one. Tempt me was so good and I loved reading each page! You get stuck in Jamie’s head when she tries to convince herself that the life she and Ryan share has been sufficient. But is it really? What has been holding Jamie back even after these years of living in bliss and being in love. Ryan has been so patient, but I feel he is getting to the end of that rope. He has been ready for the next step. Is Jamie willing to take that leap with him? Or will she lose the best thing that has ever happened to her. I am so happy that this story will be available in time for this Valentine’s day! Love is the theme in this book. And you will truly see how these two love each other to the core. This definitely adds to the hot sexy scenes you get. I love how commanding Ryan is in and out of the bedroom. Truly exciting! So don’t miss out what is next for our security chief and anchor woman. Fingers crossed that she says “Yes”.

Great read needed more
