Anchor Me Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 1,166 ratings

We’re living our happily ever after. It might not be perfect, but it’s all ours.

Damien and I have fought long and hard to end up where we are, to end up together… Who knew our battles were only just getting started?

Ghosts from our past and a host of new threats we never saw coming begin to close in on us, threatening to snuff out our hard-won happiness as they push us both frighteningly close to the breaking point.

The worst part? I’m not sure there’s anything I can do to save us.

Then again, if we can survive the next several months, we’ll have truly earned our happy ending.

J Kenner writes amazing books that make you never want to put the book down
I can’t say it enough...Julie Kenner is awesome and writes very good romance books. I found her by an amazon e-mail for a recommendation after reading other romance series of books. I am not disappointed at all. There were two things that I thought were confusing. One, is the order in which to read them. There’s the Nikki/Damian, Jamie/Ryan, Sylvia/Jackson, and other individuals books, etc, but how do you know what order to read them in. I first went to J Kenner’s website and took screen shots of all of her romance series books. I read all of Nikki/Damian. After reading all of them, I went to Jamie/Ryan and came to realize that those two books were suppose to go in order with Nikki/Damian. This could be false, but in the start of one of Nikki/Damian books, it talks about Jamie/Ryan’s wedding. So I was confused when I first read that whole series. So after starting the Nikki/Damian Series over again, I took the numbers from Nikki/Damian and Jamie/Ryan and put them in numerical order. I am in the middle of that. I took a pause in half way through the series to see if the Sylvia/Jackson had to somewhat be intertwined like Jamie/Ryan. When reading one book of Nikki/Damian series, it starts talking about Sylvia and Jackson and mentions that Jackson is Damian’s half-brother and I was confused because I never remember reading anything abaout Jackson besides the fact that he turned down Damian when they were away at a resort for the weekend when they were at the buffet. I think where I was confused when was the one book was talking about Valentine’s Day and the scavenger hunt that Damian did for Nikkie. Then, there little romantic get a way for the romantic holiday, running into Jackson and then the next book is Christmas time and Sylvia and Jackson are spending Christmas with them in the mountain house. Since I am honestly confused, I went to J Kenner’s website and found an option for “contact us”. I sent them an e-mail on March 14th and today is March 24th and I haven’t heard back. They did mention that they get a lot of incoming e-mails so to please be patient, but I didn’t think it would take this long to get a response. I know this sounds crazy, but I am OCD and was trying to figure all these books out by myself. With the screen shots that I took, I literally used an app that would allow me to write the date all of the books came out on the picture. It did take forever, but it seemed to help a little. Because of that, I found out that the two books of Jamie/Ryan do go in order with the Nikki/Damian series. If you look at the numbers of each book, you can see they go in order. The dates also match up, but you wouldn’t know that if you didn’t create a new picture with the dates they were released. The second part that I am confused on, is why there are so many books in the Nikki/Damian series. I understand that the main books, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are the main books, which has more in the book, but why can’t she take the odd number between the main books and combine into bigger books. I think the main books were $7.99 or $9.99, but the smaller ones were $2.99. I feel like that was a rip off because there 11 books in the Nikki/Damian series that are smaller books. I guess if I hear back from the company that they would better help me to understand, but that’s all I can hope for. I love the way all of the series are written. Nikki/Damian, Jamie/Ryan and Sylvia/Jackson. Most romance series are similar, but have a little bit of difference. I feel like J Kenner’s series have so much sex. I can’t imagine that in real life. I love the fact that there is someone always going after them and then the papparazzi are always after them. As horrible as that would be in real life, these books keep you interested and makes you excited for the next book. If I do end up hearing back from J Kenner, I will edit my review.

    More Damien and Nikki Stark with a sprinkling of all of their friends and family. ❤️

    Nikki's childhood traumas forever mark her mind and body. Moving on and feeling strong; actually believing she's strong, is elusive. With Damien she feels strong but with each setback she feels weak, believing she can't do it without him. There are setbacks, fears and traumas that lead her to want to hurt herself, but Damien is there and she fights the urge each time.

    Damien sees the love of his life hurting and in protecting her, keeping his secrets, he adds to that hurt. Communication and their own method of coping 🔥🔥🔥is their mode of survival when past and present darkness threatens to overtake them.

    Nikki is successful on her career, making a job bid in Dallas. Dallas holds a lot of bad memories and, as a result, is a source of stress for them both. Determined, she makes the decision Tom confront her demons by approaching the biggest demon of her mind and soul. Only things don't go as planned and the unexpected occurs.

    When things begin to feel as though they are falling into place, her past, his past, reemerges. Things do t add up. Who is it? Or should I say who is doing what? When you figure out one thing, another happens, confusing matters.

    Their moment of happiness crumbles, leaving them lost and hurting. Time heals, togetherness their cure.

    An unexpected strength and determination to walk away rights Nikki and she can now see her future, solid and bright and she goes after it with the man of her dreams at her side. Surprises of the good kind. Family and friends gathered in support. Their love and devotion is a thing of beauty and FAMILY takes on a whole new meaning for these two beautiful, damaged, healing souls.

    I loved it!!!

    Spoilers below!
    I finished this book yesterday and reflected all night what to place in the review! I read some reviews that complained about Nikki whining and crying too much! From my perspective her responses where dead on correct!
    Damien and Nikki are larger than life celebrities who are seriously flawed from unimaginable childhood abuse! It's part of who they are! "Kindred Spirits" as the author declared! Their love life is essential for safety, control and support! While some readers may find their adventurous tastes as scintilating, I think they are extremely normal and loving. It's not BMSD! Sensual depravation, delayed gratification, sensual spanking and swating are normal and brilliant. I loved them all personally! That's how you keep the excitement in whatever room your using! Very mainstream and tender!
    The devastating and emotionally psychological toll on Nikki from her crippling miscarriage was handled superbly by J Kenner! I experinced the fears, negativity and hopeless like Nikki because I have experience with Mullarian Defect! 5 miscarriages and 3 children later was an emotional rollarcoaster! I only mention my personal journey to acknowledge the insightfullness of the author! Yes, I sobbed throughout the story but it was also cathartic and healing!
    I loved the growing circle of friends, collegues and employees who became family to me as a reader.All families experience, drama, hurt feelings, jealousies and betrayals! We don't chose our parents and Nikki's mother is the "wicked witch" of the Texas and Damiens father is a monster! Still, we all bear our crosses (not to sound cavalier).
    Finally, I mention that a marriage demands trust, honesty and open communication! Yes Damien is trying to protext Nikki, but at the betrayal of honesty. It's easier to avoid jealousy and unpleasant "talks" but at what cost? It seems very self serving and dishonest and thats not okay with me! Yes, little white lies can be rationalized easily, but they are still lies! Damien has more growing to do, but don't we all?
    In no way is this a criticism of J Kenner, but really a declaration of her talent! She has captured all that vitrol and woven human flaws and warts brilliantly into a masterpiece of literature! I love these books and I'm ready to go now and start reading #5 Lost With Me! gotta go, thanks for hanging!

    I absolutely loved this book and am totally in Love with Damien and Nikki. They are one of my favorite book couples.
    This book did not disappoint, the crazy and possessive love that they have for each other seems to grow stronger with all the obstacles they have to overcome. They definitely belong together
    Can't wait to read what comes next for this amazing power couple!!
