Publisher's summary

New York Times bestselling author J. Kenner kicks off a smoking hot, emotionally compelling 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.

Critic reviews

“Readers who need more of Kenner’s racy, sizzling Stark novels will delight in this new series, set in the same decadent, lavish world. . . . Kenner has crafted a hero whose compassion is remarkable, and who is strong enough not only to apologize and to change, but to offer her the kind of love she wants and needs, as well. . . . Fans of dark, intense and emotionally scorching romances will surely adore this series opener.”RT Book Reviews

“It’s a heady mix of love and intrigue, and Kenner continues to deliver a knockout experience that made me long for the next book even as I was more than satisfied with this story’s ending. To say more would give too much away, and I encourage everyone who loved the original Stark trilogy to read Say My Name to find out what’s there for themselves.”The Romance Evangelist

“J. Kenner has given us one hell of a story with this start to the Stark International series. And if anyone can give Damien Stark a run for his money, it’s Jackson Steele.”Cocktails and Books

Better luck next time

Narration was great but story not so much, too vague descriptions. Often had to go back to try to understand what was trying to be told

find book

If I had read rhis instead of listen to it, I would have enjoyed it more. Sometimes a book is better when you read it. (No other voices in your head.)

JACKSON.... JACKSON.... JACKSON

Out of the millions of Romance books in Audible's vast library it's J. Kenner's books that haunt you because they're bitter-sweet love stories filled with characters that have tortured pasts, painful secrets, overwhelming decision that have to be faced and heartbreaking consequences are usually unavoidable before the lovers can ever get their well deserved HEA ending. And that is why her books are now an auto buy for me.

Five years have past since sexy and handsome Jackson and tortured Sylvia met and had a fling and fell for each other but because of childhood sexual abuse Sylvia was unable to commit to their relationship...... however now she desperately needs him and will go to any lengths to get him. Present day very rich and successful Jackson has never gotten over Sylvia now he's bitter, brooding and wants revenge then it backfires on him and he realises he cannot let her go again and fights to save her from herself and keep her for himself. There are flashbacks of their prior relationship and also of her abuse.

Some secrets are shared but others are waiting in the wings to cause havoc and damage to the couple's relationship and there are doubts and trust issues too which don't help as well as someone leaking private information about Stark Industries which threatens her job. There is also a lot of contact with Damien and Nikki from the Stark Trilogy (another must have if you haven't heard it). Told from Sylvia's POV but the Epilogue was Jacksons and a really great narrator who brought a heartbeat to all the characters.

Worth a credit? What a book, what a start...... i couldn't stop listening - there's tension, romance, passion, hot sex with a bit of BDSM (and hints of heavier to come) as well as secondary plots running through it. I wasn't going to start it until I had books 2 and 3 safely in my Library but I just couldn't resist.... arrrgh this'll teach me. YES YES YES creditworthy.

Exciting and Intriguing

Jackson Steele and Sylvia Brooks are a great addition. The twist and turns are clever and jaw dropping. J. Kenner can weave a tangled web of love starved characters. Looking forward to the continuation of Stark Saga.

HORRIBLE NARRATOR!!!

I haven’t finished the book yet, but the narrator is the most annoying narrator I’ve listened to yet. I’m trying to make it through because of the good reviews of the book, but I’m not sure I can tolerate the narrator much longer. It sounds like she’s hyperventilating at the end of most sentences. She over annunciates many sounds. She’s just plain annoying.
