Publisher's summary

Audie Award Finalist, Erotica, 2014

For fans of Fifty Shades of Gray and Bared to You comes an erotic, emotionally charged romance between a powerful man who’s never heard "no" and a fiery woman who says "yes" on her own terms.

He was the one man I couldn’t avoid. And the one man I couldn’t resist.

Damien Stark could have his way with any woman. He was sexy, confident, and commanding: Anything he wanted, he got. And what he wanted was me.

Our attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as I ached to be his, I feared the pressures of his demands. Submitting to Damien meant I had to bare the darkest truth about my past - and risk breaking us apart.

But Damien was haunted, too. And as our passion came to obsess us both, his secrets threatened to destroy him - and us - forever.

Release Me is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

meh...i didn't hate it but I didn't love it either

it was a slow start. I fell asleep through most of the first 16 chapters and had to replay multiple times. I felt like parts of the story line was predictable, parts took forever to get to the point, and some came too fast. this book was all over the place for me. I didn't hate it, but I also didn't love it. I couldn't stand the voice of the women narrating the story.

Use Anything you got to listen to this book

Would you listen to Release Me (The Stark Trilogy) again? Why?

Yes, and plan on it. This book has an excellent story line and it's Hot and that makes for a great book. These two messed up people deserve each other. At the beginning, it takes a while to get started, but once they see one another, hold one.. it moves fast.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Damien and Nickie

Have you listened to any of Sofia Willingham’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Nope, this is my first, she does Romance really good

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

NO extreme reaction, just to say, it was good

Any additional comments?

Like everyone else, if you like our FSOG, Bated to You, this will be another one that has all of these two great books. It was great to listen to. Glad friends told to get this.. I am starting book two now. And three is ready to go when I finish. Such a great story and listen.. Hope I can find more like these.

Smokin' hot series

This is actually a repeat listen for me. There are a couple of novellas I haven't listened to before at the end of the series and I decided to listen to the whole thing again. The fact that I am repeating this book says a lot as that is not my norm. This is better than FSOG and as good as the This Man series. I do like the crossfire series the best in the more erotic novels. This narrator does a good job. It follows a similar pattern of two tortured souls ( but of course soul mates) who meet and instantly know that they belong together. And of course he is a billionaire --that goes without saying!! However I do enjoy their chemistry and all the trials ( literally) they face in the series.

love the Stark Trilogy series

I loved all the books from start to finish that I figured I'd start over. I just finished the 1st book for the second time and it was like reading it for the first time. the book keeps your interest. I think this time around, I understand the book even more.

Cant wait for books 2 & 3

Where does Release Me rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is right up there with Fifty Shades of Grey, and Bared to You

What did you like best about this story?

Damion has such a dark hidden past it left me wanting more

Which character – as performed by Sofia Willingham – was your favorite?

Niki was my favorite, but Damion was right there too. She does a great job with all the characters.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I cried when Niki finally shows Damion her scars, and he holds her, kisses the scars....

Any additional comments?

Hurry and get the next to books in audible please!
