Our wedding was everything I dreamed of, and now the honeymoon is a living fantasy. To be Mrs. Damien Stark is the ultimate rush—to know that our claim to each other is real, our fierce passion sealing our bond. My kiss is forever his, his touch is forever mine.
 
We both harbor deep scars from our pasts, and we’ve done everything we can to lay our ghosts to rest. But there are still dreams that haunt me, and people that threaten to tear us apart.
 
Our shared ecstasy makes me feel alive, and I’ll do anything to keep Damien close. He is my future, my hope, my every want and need. And once you’ve tasted that kind of obsession, nothing can make you give it up.  
 
Have Me is intended for mature audiences.

Ratings and reviews

3.75 stars--HAVE ME is the latest novella in J. Kenner’s contemporary, erotic romance Stark Series of novels focusing on billionaire Damien Stark and Nikki Fairchild-Stark. HAVE ME covers a few days in the life following Damien and Nikki’s ultra private wedding ceremony. HAVE ME is a novella that spotlights the intense love and erotic sex life of Damien and Nikki Stark. The reader is pulled into the backrooms, bedrooms and playrooms where our couple profess their undying love and need for one another through physical and emotional intimacy around the globe. The storyline is replete with impassioned sexual situations that at some point will trigger an avalanche of paparazzi stalking, invasion of privacy and public displays that were never intended to become the fodder for tabloid journalism and nuisance law suits. J. Kenner pulls the reader into a fast paced, erotic storyline that builds towards the next installment in a series where the leading couple continues to find themselves the center of negative attention and unwanted publicity. Saying that, there is a bit of a cliff hanger, so to speak, in that several issues have not been addressed or resolved, and therefore are most likely introductory plot points for future storylines. The majority of the novella focuses on Damien and Nikki’s sex life; on sexual situations and erotic imagery-the storyline lacks any real substance or depth; real life takes a back seat to the numerous sex scenes and situations. HAVE ME is an intimate and personal storyline about two people whose love for one another is provocative, emotional and intensely private- but one that becomes more public as the series goes forward. There is always someone or something waiting to take them down.

I am a huge fan of Damien and Nikki’s passionate and erotic love. I love that J. Kenner continued their journey for us so we can keep experiencing all the highs and lows that life throws at them. This is their all-consuming, sexually exciting honeymoon that delivers all the steamy love scenes you could dream up for Damien and Nikki. Of course, as with all things in their life, someone from the past has to assert themselves and try to ruin this spectacular escape for them. But Damien is not a man to be taken lightly and he works to protect what he loves … Nikki. Sigh!

The first and third books were best. I was slightly disappointed by this one. It did not flow as well. Still a decent read.
