Cherish Me: A Stark Ever After Novella Kindle Edition

by J. Kenner (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 525 ratings
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author J. Kenner comes a new story in her Stark Ever After series…

My life with Damien has always been magical, and never more so than during the holidays, a time for us to celebrate the hardships we’ve overcome and the incredible gift that is our family. Over the years, he has both protected and cherished me. He has made my life more rich and full than I could ever have imagined.

This year, he’s treating me and our daughters to a holiday in Manhattan. With parades and ice skating, toy displays and candies. And, most of all, with each other.

It’s a wonderful gift, a trip I will always cherish. But this year, I’m the one with the surprise. And I can’t wait to see the look of delight and awe when I finally share my secret with Damien.

But I’m terrified that when danger strikes, it will take a holiday miracle for me to even get the chance.

**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.**

    5.0 out of 5 stars Oh Damien Stark...Always Keeping Us Intrigued
    Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Overall Grade: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2

    You must know that, should J. Kenner release a new book in the Nikki and Damien Stark saga, this girl, this reader, is all in. It’s an immediate pre-order purchase, and I sign up for an ARC immediately because Nikki and Damien Stark are that addicting. J. Kenner writes stories in their world that engage you and keep you suspended on the edge of your seat from the suspense of the story, the sweetness of the relationship between them, between their friends and family, and between them and their children.

    J. Kenner’s newest release, a novella entitled Cherish Me, is more of that. Set during Christmas time, Nikki, Damien, and their children set off for New York where they spend some time with Dallas and Jane, a couple from Kenner’s Stark Universe. While there, Damien suggests that Dallas joins his newly formed Stark Security. During that discussion, Dallas challenges Damien for the same, given that Damien feels as though he has achieved just about everything he can achieve. With that in his mind, Nikki and Damien are off for Manhattan for the night…alone. Nikki has planned a solitary time for them while their children stay behind with Dallas and Jane for night. Their night is meant to be spent at a newly rehabilitated boutique hotel, not under the Stark brand. What ends up happening during their stay will shock you.

    Quite frankly, Cherish Me is Damien Stark meets Die Hard. This is a novella, so it is but a snippet of a night between Nikki and Damien. However, in true J. Kenner form, she engages you in their on-going story. Quite frankly, I don’t know how much more this couple can take, but Cherish Me is everything you love about their stories: fast-paced, full of action and suspense with a bit of steam on the side. This one also holds a big surprise. As I was reading, I found myself smiling and gasping, worried for the end. However, Damien and Nikki are fated lovers, so, even though strife shades their life, they always end up with a happy ending.

    If you want a quick read that will make you chuckle for its allusions to people’s favorite Christmas movie, and you love Nikki and Damien Stark as I do, then GRAB Cherish Me. It’s everything you adore about J. Kenner’s favorite couple.

    "I know you're frustrated that you can't make everything right in the world. But I've told you before, when you feel that way, you come to me. Control me, Mr. Stark."

    Can anyone really ever have too much Damien and Nikki? I think not!! For a short story, this one is packed with action!!

    In typical Damien-esque fashion, he saves the day, and his beloved Nikki. What was supposed to be a romantic dinner, complete with the telling of a secret that Nikki's been holding on to, quickly turns in to a real-life rendition of Die Hard with Damien Stark in the leading role. The only difference is that John McClane only had one cop on the outside. Damien has a whole team.

    Yes, yes, some of what goes on is beyond the realm of reality, but Damien and Nikki are the stuff that fairy tale romances are made of, and it wouldn't be true to their love story to have Damien be anything but spectacular!! And, I kinda liked that red-headed bartender. I hope we see more of him in future books.

    This was a quick read, a bit fantastical, but I still love Damien and Nikki!

    5.0 out of 5 stars You can never get enough of Damien and Nikki - life is always exciting for these 2
    Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2020

    I will read any book that Mrs. Kenner writes for Damien and Nikki Stark and the Stark world. These two are one of the best book couples that I've ever read and I love getting updates on their lives every so often but I would love to have more books more frequently about these 2 people.

    Nikki and Damien are taking the family to NY for the Christmas holidays. While on the East coast, they visit with their friends Dallas and Jane and decide to have an adult night and have their friends watch their girls. When Nikki and Damien arrive at their destination, they are enjoying their one on one time (which is always hot) until something very unexpected happens. Nikki is worried and Damien is determined to get to her. As we watch the events unfold, we start to see a different side of Damien so it makes me wonder what new adventures await these 2 and if there will be any life changes made afterwards. It's great to read about some of the other couples in this world because I sure miss finding out what's going on with each of them.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2020

    Welcome back to the Stark saga, I love that we get these little glimpses into Nikki and Damien's live's every once in a while. 1001 Dark Nights makes it easy for authors to give new readers a glimpse into their world while readers of the series are getting to see something unfold that they may not have seen otherwise. I just love that!

    In CHERISH ME Nikki, Damien, and the girls are taking a much needed vacation and plan on spending the Christmas holiday in Manhattan enjoying some time with friends Dallas and Jane (S.I.N).

    I have always felt that Christmas is the most magical time of year so it didn't surprise me when I read in the blurb that Nikki had a secret and she couldn't wait to see the look of delight and awe when she finally shared it with Damien. For me Christmas is the best time for making memories with family and friends and I can guarantee this is one trip they wont forget.

    J. Kenner includes elements from one of her favorite holiday movies - and mine too!
    Can you guess which one? Here's a little hint, not everyone considers this a holiday movie. I'm curious if you do or not....

    If you haven't had the pleasure of reading about Nikki and Damien before I urge you to grab a copy and jump in now, you'll be wondering what took you so long.

    Happy Reading!!!

    Another great little story about this fabulous couple , in this we see Nikki Damian & their children going to New York to spend Christmas en route they stop of for a short visit with Dallas & Jane Sykes and their little baby girl called Mystery . In fact Dallas & Jane are going to keep the Starks children over night so that Nikki & Damian can have an uninterrupted night of passion and it would seem that Nikki has a Christmas surprise for her husband . The pair are booked into a newly opened hotel under an assumed name just for one night as tomorrow the whole family will be in their penthouse apartment at the Stark hotel in Manhattan. The hotel that Nikki booked is actually situated in a new building which houses amongst other things a high class jeweller . While our loved up couple is enjoying a pre dinner drink in the bar Damian excuses himself to go to the men’s room while he’s there all hell breaks out in the bar when gun men enter the building ,their goal is to get to the jewellers safe and steal a priceless Ruby that’s inside . With Damian on the outside of all the drama can he save the day ? I think we can guess the answer to that ........ and how does he react when he finds out what Nikki’s Christmas surprise is ? . ❤️❤️❤️❤️
