Claim Me (Stark Trilogy, #2)
by
★★★★★! Stark Trilogy, book 2 (3.5). The continuation of multi-billionaire & kinky lover Damien Stark’s and Nikki Fairchild’s story. The coming-together of two kindred haunted souls with dark forces set to keep them apart!
The Stark Trilogy is the whirlwind romance between former youth tennis-pro and self-made multi-billionaire Damien Stark and recent College graduate and former beauty queen Nikki Fairchild. On the outside they are both strikingly beautiful, but on the inside they are two broken, flawed and tortured souls. This is their story of secrets, painful pasts, revenge, lust, control and surrendering it all for love!
Book 1: Release Me
Book 2: Claim Me
Book 3: Complete Me
Book 3.5: Take Me
In Release Me (book 1) Southern belle Nichole Fairchild, Nikki was propositioned by the elusive billionaire entrepreneur and master-of-his-universe, Damien Stark to pose for a nude painting. But as it turns out their romance was 6 years in the making with Damien having seen a kindred spirit in Nikki when they first met at a beauty pageant she competed in. She has since graduated from College on full Scholarship from the Stark’s foundation.
Claim Me (book 2) picks up right after the ending of book 1 and follows Damien and Nikki as their contracted time comes to an end. Their attraction and connection has been intense and undeniable from the first moment, but much stand in their way. Claim Me takes them on a journey as they delve deeper into each other’s past and further their exploration of sex, submission and control while maneuvering through envy, jealousy, deceit, lies and other set-backs all under the watchful eye of the hounding paparazzi.
Damien Stark is a combination of swoon-worthy good looks and larger-than life personality; he’s enigmatic, elusive; intense, kinky, in-control; broken, flawed; ruthless and unyielding, yet when it comes to Nikki he allows himself to be more vulnerable and human. Six words to describe Damien: Captivating, intense, ruthless, enigmatic, commanding and unforgettable.
I liked Nikki Fairchild much more in this book! Six words to describe Nikki: Smart, vulnerable, broken, resilient, conflicted and determined.
Claim Me has several big shockers near then end, but no cliff-hanger. Instead story leads us right to, book 3, Complete Me for the conclusion of their story.
Interesting plot! Compelling and captivating characters! Sizzling sex scenes! Great job Ms. Kenner! I am highly recommending!

“Your breasts. Your nipples. The insides of your thighs. I want you wet for me, baby. A little drunk and a whole lot wet.”

“I want it,” I repeat. “And not because I need the pain. But because I need you.”

“And so I struggle against my bonds, not because I want to get free, not even because I want the pain. I want what it represents. That I am Damien’s. Bound to him. Marked by him. Claimed by him.”

Great review, SueBee. The trilogy is now complete, right? I won't start any book until I know there is a HEA. After all, that is why I read romance. Lol.
