Say My Name by J. Kenner is Now Available & Reviewed

New York Times bestselling author J. Kenner kicks off a smoking hot, emotionally compelling new erotic trilogy that returns to the world of her beloved Stark novels: Release Me, Claim Me, and Complete Me. Say My Name features Jackson Steele, a strong-willed man who goes after what he wants, and Sylvia Brooks, a disciplined woman who’s hard to get—and exactly who Jackson needs.

I never let anyone get too close—but he’s the only man who’s ever made me feel alive.

Meeting Jackson Steele was a shock to my senses. Confident and commanding, he could take charge of any room . . . or any woman. And Jackson wanted me. The mere sight of him took my breath away, and his touch made me break all my rules.

Our bond was immediate, our passion untamed. I wanted to surrender completely to his kiss, but I couldn’t risk his knowing the truth about my past. Yet Jackson carried secrets too, and in our desire we found our escape, pushing our boundaries as far as they could go.

Learning to trust is never easy. In my mind, I knew I should run. But in my heart, I never felt a fire this strong—and it could either save me or scorch me forever.

Say My Name is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

Angie – ☆☆☆☆☆
Sylvia wants to move up so she is taking on the Island project. When her first pick architect backs out she has to scramble for find a replacement. Only problem is, the person she wants won’t talk to her. They have a past history together and it didn’t end well. Jackson’s career is on top and he has anything and everything he could ever want. There are few things he says no to and he has his reasons. When Sylvia contacts him he refuses to meet with or even talk with her. Sylvia won’t take no for an answer and when she hunts Jackson down she won’t stop until she gets what she wants. But is her Island project really worth what Jackson wants? Jackson will only take the deal if she agrees with his terms and she doesn’t know if she can do that. This book is hot and steamy and we do find out some of the secrets that have been kept. I hope the next installment is just as good!

Religious: No

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is a 4.5* read for me, really really enjoyed it. In fact, I have spent the day hiding away from my family, so they didn't disturb me or catch me reading!

The Stark family are not new to us, but the interplay here was definitely as intense – Ms. Kenner delivers once again. I was pleased that I worked out some of the twists, and others I am still not sure about – but no doubt more will be revealed as the trilogy progresses. I was also delighted that it did not end at a horrendous cliff hanger – plenty of things still to be resolved, but not annoyingly!

There were lots of lovely, little touches which drew this away from the ordinary – the tattoos and their meanings; Cass, her bff, who created them; the repeated gallantry; the island's history. And of course the subtlety of the control and the exchange of power. Heady stuff – can't wait for more...
