Indulge Me: A Stark Ever After Novella Kindle Edition

by J. Kenner (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 551 ratings
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author J. Kenner comes a new story in her Stark Ever After series…

Despite everything I have suffered, I never truly understood darkness until my family was in danger. Those desperate hours came close to breaking both Damien and me, but together we found the strength to survive and hold our family together.

Even so, my wounds are deep, and wispy shadows still linger. But Damien is my rock. My hero against the dark and violence.

And when dark memories threaten to consume me, he whisks me away, knowing that in order to conquer my fears he must take control. Demand my submission. Claim me completely. Because if I am going to find my center again, I must hold tight to Damien and draw deep from the wellspring of our shared passion.

**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.**

    I always love to read anything with Nikki and Damien in it. Even more so when the story is about them! I appreciate that Ms. Kenner continues to provide us more and more stories about this wonderful couple. We pick up the story after the kidnapping of Anne. Nikki and Damien worked through so many things that resulted from Anne's kidnapping and Nikki is in therapy. However, Damien notices something off with his wife and of course, he has to know what it is. Damien decides to help Nikki work through her fear by doing what he does best for his wife. Nikki knows that she needs what Damien will give her to make her be more centered again. Their trip to Paris to work through Nikki's issues is full of surprises and definitely lots of hot and steamy scenes. As always these 2 people's love are so deep and intense that you just want to know them and hope to have what they have!

    5.0 out of 5 stars I Can Never Get Enough of Damien and Nikki!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I've been nursing the illusion that you and I live in some magic bubble where everything will turn out for the best. But don't you get it? Damien, the bubble's burst. And even though we survived, I can't help but be afraid of what's still hiding out there in the dark."

    OMG this couple!! If you've followed Damien and Nikki, you know that Damien can pretty much control the universe. But not always. After he and Nikki try to move past what happened to their daughter, despite the end result being a happy one, Nikki finds herself sliding, letting fear get the better of her. So, what does Damien do? He takes control - of her. In the most delicious ways, he pushes her limits until the fears no longer control her, but she finds her control once more.

    This was so delectably hot, and sensual, and romantic! Why can't all men be Damiens? The world would be such a yummy place!!

    Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2019

    Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2

    Let’s be honest. Damien and Nikki have already lived full lives. They have been threatened, endured kidnappings, and generally been despised by someone in many of the books in the J. Kenner Stark series that revolves around this couple. And yet, they always finds a way back to each other: physically, mentally, and emotionally. This is the crux of J. Kenner’s newest book, Indulge Me, in this saga: completing and healing each other after fear has set in, so they can move forward, conquering it through their love for each other.

    Nikki is struggling. Fear has found a place in her soul, and it acts as a shadow over everything: her work, her children, her husband. Damien, always astute, senses and understands his wife’s current frame of mind, and he knows she must overcome it, so they can move forward. Taking control as only Damien Stark can do, he sweeps Nikki away to Paris, acting as her dominant once again, as a way to help her embrace her fear and work through it.

    What I love about this book:

    *It’s a novella, so it is a quick nugget of all that you love about Damien and Nikki. This story isn’t drawn out. It hits hard from the beginning, engrossing you in the pages. It also incorporates several of the characters from past Stark novels: Ryan (of course!), Jackson, Sylvia, etc. It even makes connections to the Stark Security Series, the newest series in the Stark universe. It’s the type of book by J. Kenner that makes you feel like you’re sitting with an old friend: comforting and happy.

    *It’s steamy. Nikki and Damien are steamy$ex personified, and J. Kenner has really brought it with this book. In fact, it’s the core of this book. Damien uses his physical dominance to give Nikki her fill as a way to move her beyond the fear that has set in. He wants to push her “lines” as a way to force her thinking beyond the boundaries it’s set up after their daughter’s kidnapping. With that, Damien pushes her $exually in a way that he hasn’t done in past books. It is classic Damien/Nikki, and it’s hot.

    Quick, sultry, and thoughtful. Those are the words that best describe J. Kenner’s Indulge Me, the newest Stark series book. I think Kenner reminds us that fear can overtake us and keep us frozen in place if we let it. Instead, we need to face our fears, push our boundaries, and let love heal us from the inside.

    “Damien, of course, understands me. ‘No, ‘ he says with a gentle smile. ‘Not even that. You will always, always have my strength. Because while death might keep me from your side, it can’t keep me out of your heart. Do you know why?’ I shake my head, overwhelmed by his words. By his love. And by what I understand that he is trying to give me. ‘Because you’ve always been strong, baby. Strong and fearless. I’m just a lens that helps you magnify it. But if you had to, you could stand alone.’ ‘Damien…’ ‘As long as I’m on this earth, you’ll never have to.’”

    Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2019

    I really enjoyed this short novella by J Kenner about another brief look into Damien and Nikki Stark's life along with their children Anne and Lara. This takes place not long after Anne's kidnapping and happy return to the family. Nikki and Damien have both had trouble getting past this but especially Nikki. Damien knows Nikki is a very strong woman and just needs to realize that once again. This is a quick story about Damien attempting to show Nikki how strong she really is and coming together once again as a family. J Kenner is one of my top favorite authors and I especially enjoy reading anything about Damien and Nikki as they are favorite characters among the many books I have read. Thank you for this one and I totally recommend this entire Stark series as the other characters are just as memorable.

    Oh wow what can I say about Julie Kenner’s Writing she just blows me away with every single book that she writes, But of course my Favorite books are when she writes about MY Favorite Fictional Characters Damien and Nik, This book was Hot Hot and Hot , her sex scene’s sizzle , but the book also is about Fear that Niki has and Damien needs to show her how to face the Fear. I could read about these 2 Characters forever and I would never get tired of them . Can’t wait for her next Novella about Damien and Niki I hope it is soon

    So far I've read all of the books in this series. But except for the kidnapping of Anna the last three books were flat and kind of boring. Nicky and Damien have lost some of their zing. I think you need to revamp them a bit and put some spark back in their characters.

    The love that binds Nikki and Damien shines through in this novella. Having endured the kidnapping of their daughter, Nikki finds herself struggling with fear of the unknown. Damien doesn’t want his wife to be afraid to live life and he knows just how to help her find her center and battle the darkness. This delivers all the steamy, erotic sexiness that this couple can deliver while adding a new layer of depth to their relationship and the love they share.

    This novella is set a short time after the kidnap ordeal , just when things seem to be returning to normal for Damien & Nikki Stark, Nikki experiences something that unsettles her again . As always Damien is so attuned to his wife’s needs realises that he must do something drastic to return the status quo . Nikki & Damien are one of my all time favourite power couples ,if like me and you’ve read all the previous books ,including spin offs & novellas then you’ll know what these two have gone through, as with all the of the books it’s full of hot sexiness that leaves you wanting more 😍😍😉.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 10, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The story and phenomenon that is Damien and Nikki Stark continues in this welcomed novella. We get another special opportunity to look into their domestic lives as a married couple with two children. They have enormous wealth and eminent power yet it does not shield them from the darkness, violence or evil in the world.

    With the previous kidnapping of Anne the youngest of the Stark's children, Nikki feels that the bubble they had lived in for years has popped. And her involvement in a road rage incident on the way back from a cinema visit is the catalyst for her renewed fear and angst.

    Damien is concerned about Nikki's present state of mind and when he is made aware of the car incident and Nikki explains further, he includes her on his business trip to Paris. His motive in taking her is to dispel her fears and close a seeming distance between them. He devises a series of sexual and erotic encounters designed to demonstrate her strength, improve her confidence and renew her trust in herself and Damien's ability to keep her and the children safe.

    However, although my love of Damien and Nikki grows exponentially. I will ask. Why is Nikki allowed to drive along the famous Mulholland road or walk around Paris without security protection?

    I would love to think Damien & Nikki are one of the great love stories of all times and that they don't need voyeurism and exhibitionism to have their love grow or survive. I hope Julie isn't going to take this route in the future novellas. This is what always made their love invincible and put them above Jamie & Ryan or Jackson & Sylvia who always seem to need more to keep things interesting for each other. Love kink,lust,and passion but just with two people because what happens when sex clubs and threesomes aren't enough to satisfy each other. To what heights do you need to go before it all falls apart and starts to crumble?
