Publisher's Summary

For fans of Fifty Shades of Grey 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.

    "A cross of 50 Shades series & Bared to you series"
    Would you listen to Release Me again? Why?

    Yes, Narrator was good and it's good novel.


    What other book might you compare Release Me to and why?

    Fifty Shades of Grey and Bared to You. These books are very similar. If you enjoy these 2 book series, you won't be disappoint with one. I think Damien is a blend of Christian Grey and Gideon Cross. He's pretty awesome.


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

    Damien and Jamie.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes, I listened to this book in one sitting. It was a long one.


    Any additional comments?

    I did not realized that this is a series. I am glad it is. The 2nd book & 3rd book scheduled for this year. I can't wait.

    Damien's trouble past tucked my heart. I am concern with Nikki's problem. I wonder how the author is going to deal her issue moving forward in the series.

    "Why isn't this book in your library????"

    What a gem of a find! I don't read many books in a day (I'm a busy working mom) but I could not put this one down. It hooked me from the beginning and I just couldn't let it go.

    As many other reviewers have said, if you enjoyed FSOG, Bared to You, Beautiful Bastard or If I Were You then you will enjoy this one too. It's the same formula but it doesn't feel like a rip-off. I'm not sure why this book isn't more popular but I'm glad I found this diamond in the rough.

    I had no idea this was a trilogy but I'm looking forward to the 2nd and 3rd books!

    4.5 stars for a Very Hot Listen!

    When I clean, drive or exercise I listen to romance. The steamier the better but it must have a great story as well!

    Story
    "Above my expectations!"

    I resisted this book thinking that it would be so similar to "Fifty Shades of Grey" that it wouldn't hold my interest. I does flow in a similar fashion but it is a unique and interesting storyline. I was surprised to find, I liked it! It is a simple story, no real depth but what is referred to as a beach read. Difficult emotional subjects such as "cutting" and suggestions of abuse are mentioned but neither are done distastefully but instead in understandable ways. I recommend this book to those that like the fanfiction style books from the "Twilight" series. I'm not sure if that is what it is but if it is Twilight inspired it is one of the better runoff books available. Enjoy!

    She did all great!


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

    Yes but if I review it, it will ruin it for new readers. Just read and enjoy

    I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.

    "Oh it's good!!"

    It's a very sexy listen. It reminds me of 50 Shades. In saying that, I like 50 better. In listening to this book it seems like maybe another book is coming from these two characters (like the 50 series). It's a good listen. It's interesting, but not fabulous. I'd buy it on sale and save my credit.

    "Great... I loved it!"
    What made the experience of listening to Release Me the most enjoyable?

    I love listening to books where the narrators voice is not annoying... This book is steamy and has a plot with mystery and suspense... and of course some erotic romance.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Release Me?

    The ending was a cliffhanger and I am disappointed that I have to wait until July to hear more.


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

    Damian...I hope that is how you should spell his name. He is a mystery and I can't wait to figure him out in the remaining books


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes, it kept me up all night, I couldn't turn off my brain and I wanted to know more.


    Any additional comments?

    I like books with raw primal hunger... Listening to books like 50 Shades of Grey, Bared to You, Reflected in You, etc invokes a curiousity in me to step outside my comfort zone... Try a new wine, a new restaurant, a different spa service-- Enjoy life more freely!

    "WILL cause sleep deprivation!!!!"

    I have never heard of this series...I was doing a random search on Audible and it came up and OMG am I glad!!!!

    Controlling dominant alpha male gazillionair...who is of course damaged. On the edge of loosing it alpha female...who is of course damaged....throw them together and watch the sparks fly, HOT sparks....SOOOOOOO HOT! So hot that I didn't want to go to sleep, I just wanted to keep listening!

    Nothing specifically mentioned as far as dom/sub goes, but it's there just waiting to be discussed. The sex scenes were well developed and outstandingly described, IN GRAPHIC DETAIL.

    It has a hot alpha male who is rich, but that is where the similarities to fifty shades stop. The female lead is NOT a virgin, THANK YOU J. Kenner for not following that cliche, there is no red room of pain, and they aren't from totally different worlds which was nice.

    It had similarities to Bared to You with the rich alpha male again...but bared to you is more mid life to me, and this is late 20's early 30's of two damaged people finding someone else who is damaged enough to over look their damage and build a bridge.

    I can get why people have compared this book to 50 and Bared, but it's a different animal to me....a very NICE animal!

    I downloaded book two while only half way through book 1, and book three is due out in the summer so YEAH, not a really long wait....but I don't know how I will pass the time without another dose of the yummy Damian Stark.....oh so yummy!

    "I was not expecting to like it as much as I did."
    Would you listen to Release Me again? Why?

    yes


    What other book might you compare Release Me to and why?

    CrossFire books. Flawed men who offer the world but need the woman more than she needs them... Yeah, it's the same kind of book. and I am a sucker for that.


    What about Sofia Willingham’s performance did you like?

    I liked her pacing and how she spoke I find many books I can't get into because of they way they are read.

    "LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!"
    What did you love best about Release Me?

    Whenever you have a dominant hero with an unmistakable attraction to a heroine, it's bound to be a good story. Now mix powerful emotions and troubled pasts, with hot passion, and it's a recipe for greatness! I've never recommended for someone to use a credit, but this book has brought me to do so!


    What other book might you compare Release Me to and why?

    A little bit of FSOG, but the plot and dialogue is better.


    What about Sofia Willingham’s performance did you like?

    Her ability to transform between voices without compromise.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes! I stayed up all night listening to it.


    Any additional comments?

    I can't wait for the next installment.

    "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?
