Title: Release Me (Stark Trilogy Book #1)
Author: J. Kenner
Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance
For fans of Fifty Shades of Grey and Bared to You comes an erotic, emotionally charged romance between a powerful man who’s never heard “no” and a fiery woman who says “yes” on her own terms.
He was the one man I couldn’t avoid. And the one man I couldn’t 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 past—and risk breaking us apart.
But Damien was haunted, too. And as our passion came to obsess us both, his secrets threatened to destroy him—and us—forever.
Release Me is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

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.

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.

“Take Me” is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.
“Do you remember what you said back in Malibu the other day? We were eating breakfast.”
I grin, certain I finally see where this is going. “I said it felt very domestic. That I liked that.” I ease closer, then grind my pelvis against his. “What’s the matter? Already feeling shackled by matrimony?”
“Shackled wouldn’t be a problem,” he says, “though I’d prefer it was you and not me. And no. But I don’t ever want us to become . . . settled.” As he speaks, he steps back so that he can run his finger down my dress. He eases the skirt up, then growls low in his throat when he finds that I’m not wearing underwear.
“I don’t want to be settled, either,” I say huskily.
“Dear god, I love you.” He tightens his hand around my waist and I arch back, letting him explore me, letting his touch excite me. I know that we are outside, but it is dark and this is Damien, and I don’t care. I want this. I want him. And I want the passion to fire so hot between us that it burns away everything else.
“Inside.” His voice is rough. “If I don’t get you inside right now, I swear I’m going to fuck you right here against this wall.”

Looks like a great read, thanks for the excerpt!
i’ve read the first two and then school became too hectic so i had to put the rest off, but i’m excited to read the rest!
I haven’t read any of the Stark Trilogy yet but I have read the first three books in her Most Wanted which I have enjoyed. I’m hoping to get around to the Stark Trilogy soon. It sounds like a great intense read and I’ve seen quite a bite of rave reviews for it.
This sounds like a great read! I’ve added to my “To Read” list., Thank you for sharing,
