Damien: A Stark Novel (Stark Saga Book 6) Kindle Edition

by J. Kenner (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 1,060 ratings
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author J. Kenner comes a new story in her Stark series…

I am Damien Stark. From the outside, I have a perfect life. A billionaire with a beautiful family. But if you could see inside my head, you’d know I’m as f-ed up as a person can be. Now more than ever.

I’m driven, relentless, and successful, but all of that means nothing without my wife and daughters. They’re my entire world, and I failed them. Now I can barely look at them without drowning in an abyss of self-recrimination.

Only one thing keeps me sane—losing myself in my wife’s silken caresses where I can pour all my pain into the one thing I know I can give her. Pleasure.

But the threats against my family are real, and I won’t let anything happen to them ever again. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep them safe—pay any price, embrace any darkness. They are mine.

I am Damien Stark. Do you want to see inside my head? Careful what you wish for.

    Good Lord! If you are a Damien and Nikki follower, you will know what I'm talking about when I say that this book was a nail biter! I love this author and I love this series, you just can't get enough of this couple. Damien's POV was a bit surprising for me, a powerful man who was actually vulnerable, but that is what's so special about this couple and man, no matter how rich you are, there's always a side that no one else sees except the one you love, and even then it's like trying to pull teeth to find. Loved the story line, loved the characters, page turner from page one until the end. I wish I could say more, but that would be giving away details that would ruin it for everyone who hasn't read it. Just know that Julie Kenner has continued her endless art of making Damien and Nikki's story fresh, full of heat and passion, and always something to look forward to! Very well worth the read, hope there's more on the horizon for these two.

    I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Almost 5 stars!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2020

    So I read all the series. I was really excited to hear Damien’s point of view. All series were written in Nikkis’s point of view. I feel that the love scale is always tipping down at Damien. I feel that Nikki loves Damien more than Damien loves her. Damien is always mysterious and always with secrets. Sometimes, Nikki is very needy for Damien and at times portrayed as spineless when it comes to her needs for Damien.

    The first book: some key points I want to point out. Great steamy scenes, good dialogues, and story line. I did not like Jamie because she was whoring herself and at one point, I hated Nikki for trusting her so much with Damien. I almost thought that Jamie will sleep with Damien because she slept with Ollie who happens to be engaged and also their friend. It was a relief that J. Kenner did not go in that direction or else I would stop reading right there and right then. Cheating is a no-no for me!

    The second book: Nikki was portrayed as very needy and clingy to Damien. I almost stopped then. Damien is always secretive and mysterious and it was hard to believe that Damien loves Nikki other than their great sex. But I was intrigued so I decided to continue reading.

    Damien Book: I was just intrigued about how this saga would end since Damien is always mysterious. I’m excited to see how his mind goes. I love that this is their story as a couple. Their journey portrays love and how they battle obstacles and coming out stronger and victorious. I love this. Most books are written as how they become a couple. Once they become a couple, the story ends. This is different and I love how Jenner wrote about their love, and great sex despite handling kids and family obligations. It is very inspiring that they still have great sex after all these time.

    Some questions I have for the author:
    1. Are they going to have another baby? Nikki got pregnant twice despite one miscarriage. There is a strong chance she could get pregnant again despite her condition. Who would manage Damien’s empire when he gets old? It would be nice if they have a son that could follow his legacy.
    2. Nikki is a beautiful woman or portrayed as one and she was in numerous beauty pageants in her teenage life. The saga always depicts Damien’s women past and present. Most of their obstacles are always about Damien’s ex girlfriend: Sofia, Giselle, Carmela and so forth. It would be nice to read that Nikki also has a man that can make Damien jealous so he can fight for her. It’s kind of unfair for Nikki. She is supposed to be beautiful but the saga is always about Damien’s women.
    3. Could you write another book this time more about Nikki with other men wanting her rather than Damien’s women? I really feel that Nikki loves Damien more than him loving her.

    The man he is, husband, lover and a daddy of two adorable little girls. That is who Damien is, from the every beginning he has been Nikki's supporters. So in love with her and their lives together. This was his story, he did awesome job in telling us how much he loved his wife and two daughters. I thought this story was alive and I enjoyed reading it. I will miss their lives together, I enjoyed everything there was about Nikki and Damien. Good bye to you and your family.

    I have read all of the books from the Stark series and all the spin off series from the Stark series. This is the first book that we get to read what is happening from Damien's point of view. The story picks up where Lost with Me ends. Damien is questioning himself about how he thinks he has failed his family - Nikki, Lara, and Anne - after the events in Lost with Me. It takes Nikki to remind him that he didn't fail but has always put his family first and tries his best to protect them from harm. Even though the kidnapper was apprehended and confessed to his crime, it appears that there was more than what they first thought. The suspects from Lost With Me are back to being suspects and of course, Damien's father is is one of them.

    Damien, Nikki, Ryan and his security team, and their friends continue to try to find the mastermind of the kidnapping as the past keeps coming back to haunt Damien and Nikki. Sophie is still in the picture but Nikki still has a hard time trusting her. Damien and Nikki is there to help Bree (the nanny) decide what she wants to do with her life and lend their support to whatever she decides.

    As usual, even with all the craziness that is going on around them, Damien and Nikki's love and attraction are still deep and hot. It is this love that gets them through whatever comes their way and makes them stronger!

    I can't wait for the next story about this wonderful couple. I don't think I will ever get enough of reading about Damien and Nikki, their love for each other and their family and friends, and spin off books about their friends!

    Oh my goodness what a fantastic book ,I’ve read all the previous books and have loved them all but this one is outstanding , It picks up the story where the last book ended . With Anne safely back home after her kidnap ordeal and with her kidnapper Rory in prison one fly In the ointment still remains the person responsible for trashing Nikki’s new office is still unknown ,Damien & Nikki though are trying to get back to some sort of normality . Unfortunately the normality doesn’t last long and everyone goes back on high alert once more as it becomes clear that Rory was not acting alone by kidnapping Anne and the hunt is on to find out who is responsible . As the book description says it’s told though Damien’s pov ,you get the usual hot sex between him and Nikki, but we also get an insight into Damien’s relationship with his father . Although it had been suspected that his father knew of the sexual abuse towards Damien we find out that he was indeed completely aware that his son was being abused all those years ago and did nothing to stop it . The story is fast paced full of action and drama before we get to the dramatic but somewhat sad ending . Looking forward to the release of the next book in the series .
