Claim Me (The Stark Trilogy)

The Stark Series #2

By: J. Kenner

Narrated by: Sofia Willingham

Length: 12 hrs and 50 mins

Publisher's Summary

For fans of Fifty Shades of Grey and Bared to You comes the second novel in the erotic, fast-paced trilogy that started with Release Me. This sexy, emotionally charged romance continues the story of Damien Stark, the powerful multimillionaire who’s never had to take “no” for an answer, and Nikki Fairchild, the Southern belle who only says “yes” on her own terms.

For Damien, our obsession is a game. For me, it is fiercely, blindingly, real.

Damien Stark’s need is palpable - his need for pleasure, his need for control, his need for me. Beautiful and brilliant yet tortured at his core, he is in every way my match.

I have agreed to be his alone, and now I want him to be fully mine. I want us to possess each other beyond the sweetest edge of our ecstasy, into the deepest desires of our souls. To let the fire that burns between us consume us both.

But there are dark places within Damien that not even our wildest passion can touch. I yearn to know his secrets, yearn for him to surrender to me as I have surrendered to him. But our troubled pasts will either bind us close...or shatter us completely.

Claim Me is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

Passion and Surrender

Part two was just as awesome as the first book. I really am enjoying this series and have not stopped listening. Damien and Nikki rock and I love that she is starting to hold her own. I like that although she is submissive she still has spunk. My only complaint is that I have to wait until next month to get part 3. This is an absolute must read in my opinion but you need to like 50 Shades and Bared To You books because this is written in the same manor but with its own unique plot twists. I just really like stories that have hot steamy scenes and still have a plot. The characters sizzle on the page and leave you just wanting more. Worth the credit!

50 Shades better than the rest...

Ok, so I gushed about book one and now I have to gush about book two. This was such a sexy listen. As I said in my review of the first book, it's the same formula as FSOG and Bared To You but didn't feel like a rip-off. It's a well written book and I enjoyed the story more then I did the others in this genre. Learning more about Damien Stark made this book worth a credit and then some.
Bring on book 3....

A Must Listen!!

What made the experience of listening to Claim Me the most enjoyable?

Sofia Willingham!!!! I love her soft whisper voice! She makes each character their own distinct person. The passion that she puts into the story, she just makes it so real! She is officially my favorite narrator!

What did you like best about this story?

I loved Release Me and have listened to it several times. I wasn't sure if the Claim Me would continue and be as great, but I was ecstatic to find that it not only was as good as the first but was even better!! The game between Damien and Nikki continues, I love the way that Damien's words just put spell on Nikki (& me ;)).

What about Sofia Willingham’s performance did you like?

Sofia is perfect! I am not a good reader, so I listen ;) Sofia draws you into the story and never lets you go. When the story is over she leaves you wanting for more!

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

The emerald bracelet!

Any additional comments?

Use your credit for Release Me (the first book) and then Claim Me!! If you don't have credits, BUY THEM!

Get ready to be Damienize

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

I would rate this series as one of my favorite.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Damien of course.

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

I listened to her in Release Me which was the 1st book of the series. I think she did an awesome job.

Any additional comments?

I give this book 4.5 Stars.

It was so good. Ms. Kenner put us on the cliff hanger again. I can't until until July for the 3rd book. In Claim Me, we learned more about Damien's secrets and Damien and Nikki's relationship. Also, we learned more about the supporting characters.

I love the interaction b/c Damien and Nikki. It's scary how they need each other for comfort or each other in general, but at the same time, it's great to see how much in love they are with one another. I love when Nikki used the term "Damienize".

I can't wait to see what will happen in Germany. I am looking forward to listen this book again. :-)

Painfully unbelievable

What disappointed you about Claim Me (The Stark Trilogy)?

Every time is didn't think it could become less believable it got worse

What could J. Kenner have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Not gone completely over the top with Stark's wealth. He practically has a bat cave.

Would you be willing to try another one of Sofia Willingham’s performances?

She was fine the story was lacking

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

The prose is very good at times but I'm no fan of fantasy without a basis in reality.

Any additional comments?

Will not try the rest of the series

Really?

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

It would be 4 or 5 if it was not something I've heard before.

What could J. Kenner have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Not been so much like 50 shades of grey

Yes, it made me go back and reread 50 shades of grey.

Any additional comments?

Boring! No real story.. and I am easy

What disappointed you about Claim Me (The Stark Trilogy)?

I like the first one better but this one was so hard to listen too. she is in love with what his name again, he a lots of money and power and she as sex. I like sex but writer just make it hard to see or feel.

Can't get through it

I haven't been able to get through this book. I've tried three times and it just makes me mad how Damien gets this girl aroused then leaves her hanging. The book is more about his control over her libido than the story line. At least with the first book, you get the actual story. I will eventually get through but i hope book 3 is better.

I can't believe I'm gonna say this but

There's just to much sex in this book. The story was completely over shadowed by the many many sex scenes. The reading wasn't very good either. This wasn't as good as I had hoped.
