I'm one puff piece away from tearing up my journalism degree and hurling my laptop into the Hudson River. So when I smell a juicy story brewing at my brother's Wall Street investment firm, I'll do whatever it takes to get my scoop. One clever disguise later, I'm deep undercover as the firm's newest broker, simultaneously gathering intel and spouting off stock tips like a boss. Go me, right? Sure, it sounds good on paper, but there's a catch: the actual boss. Chief Executive Panty-melter Jack Holt is cocky. Infuriating. And one smoldering look has me ready to violate every rule in the employee handbook. Thank God my assignment has an expiration date. Because falling for my brother's best friend and business partner is a lose-lose proposition. Right?
When I met Donovan Kincaid, I knew he was rich. I didn't know he was filthy. Truth be told, I was only trying to get his best friend to notice me. I knew poor scholarship girls like me didn't stand a chance against guys like Weston King and Donovan Kincaid, but I was in love with his world, their world, of parties and sex and power. I knew what I wanted - I knew who I wanted - until one night, their world tried to bite me back and Donovan saved me. He saved me, and then Weston finally noticed me, and I finally learned what it was to be in their world.

Having never fully healed from a horrific childhood trauma, he simply exists, taking from women what is offered and giving nothing in return...until Jade Roberts catapults into his life.

I do what I want and who I want. I don't follow anyone's rules-even my own. I knew I shouldn't touch her, but it didn't stop me. Didn't stop me the second time either. Only made me want a third. My lifestyle suits the savage I am, and she doesn't. But Temperance Ransom is my newest addiction, and I'm nowhere near ready to quit her yet. I'll have her my way, even if it means dragging her into the darkness. Hopefully it doesn't kill us both.
We met in a trapped elevator. Emmett was on his way to work, sophisticated and handsome in his tailored suit and tie. I was on my way to the sperm bank. Awkward, right? At 35, my life hadn't taken the path I thought it would and I was tired of waiting - I wanted a baby. And I was ready to take matters into my own hands to make it happen. After our ill-fated elevator encounter, Emmett insisted on taking me to dinner - he also insisted on something else - that I ditch my plan involving a turkey baster and let him do the job. He would be my baby daddy.
Derrick "The Love Whisperer" King gives out relationship and sex advice on the radio to everyone, but he’s giving me something a bit more personal. Nobody’s ever talked to me the way he does. Daring, demanding, sexy...and oh, so dirty. Maybe we started this whole thing a little backward, sex first and getting to know each other after. But I'm starting to let my guard down, my untrusting heart beginning to think that maybe fairy tales do come true. Even for me.
She's the tutor I hired to teach me Italian. She's way too young for me, but she's also gorgeous, bright, and filled with a curiosity about life that I find incredibly refreshing. It's f--king adorable. I’m old enough to know better, but this pretty, young thing tempts me beyond belief. And for the first time in my life, I can see myself falling. But is our attraction enough to get us through the complications of a massive age gap and an international love affair? Only one way to find out....
Songwriter Dylan McCoy has been burned. By her boyfriend she found in her bed...with someone else. By the contract she signed that obligates her to work with him until the songs for his new album are complete. By her agent when she asked Dylan to keep their breakup on the down-low. When she finds herself in Sunnyville, she refuses to let her new roommate burn her too. Still...a rebound has never looked so good.
When I’m offered the chance to leave New York to live in London for three months, I can’t pack my suitcase fast enough. As soon as I touch down, I’m obsessing over red telephone boxes, palaces, and all the black cabs. But my favorite place is the tube. It’s wall-to-wall hot British men in suits.
Jackson Steele and Sylvia Brooks continue to thrill in the second novel of a scintillating, emotionally charged new trilogy that returns to the world of J. Kenner's beloved Stark novels: Release Me, Claim Me, and Complete Me.
I never thought I'd lose control, but his desire took me right to the edge.
Powerful, ambitious, and devastatingly sexy, Jackson Steele was unlike any other man I'd ever known. He went after what he wanted with his whole mind, body, and soul - and I was the woman in his sights. One touch and I surrendered, one night together and I was undone.
Jackson and I had secrets, dark pieces of our pasts that threatened to swallow us both. We couldn't outrun our demons or the people trying to tear us apart. But in our passion we found salvation, and in each other's arms we found release.
I was scared to trust Jackson fully, to finally let go. Yet no matter the dangers that lay ahead, I knew I was his - and now that we've laid claim, there's no more holding back.
On My Knees is intended for mature audiences.
hard to finish. female lead was very whiny and could not really get behind her.

If you could sum up On My Knees in three words, what would they be?
Drama, heat emotional
What other book might you compare On My Knees to and why?
Beauty in pain
How could the performance have been better?
Almost every sentence was read with over the top drama. It became difficult, almost painful to listen to...I almost spent the 8.00 to get the print version because the audio was so overblown. Ugghh
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It would have been if I. Hadn't needed breaks from the narrator
Any additional comments?
I am looking forward to Under My Skin. Say My Name was excellent. A great writer but her words are totally sullied by this narrator

Good story line but slow to getting to the point. I wanted Sylvia to be more aggressive and strong, I was hoping throughout the story that it was going to get better but it didn't have the wow factor like the other Stark series books. Maybe I should have read the book instead.

As Jackson and Sylvia's passionate and very sexual love affair continues they're thrust into one devastating drama after another as the never ending roller coaster that their lives have become spins out one terrible secret after another. And if it's not secrets it's insecurities, jealousy, the relationship and dynamics with Damien and, always at the forefront, are the mental and emotional scars that Sylvia is trying desperately to overcome. But how can you forget the horrors of the past when someone out there is determined to remind and taunt you with leaked explicit pictures that threaten to ruin your life.... or the life of the one you love.
J. Kenner has once again delivered a powerful, emotional and all-consuming book about two lovers who, even though they get their second chance at happiness, find fate isn't finished playing wicked games on them with heartbreaking consequences. There's buckets full of drama, plenty of sex including a box of tricks, revelations, shocks, tears and desperate pleas. Through it all the charismatic Jackson fights his temper and the love of Sylvia gives him the reason.... and eventually the means too to let his frustrations out. Their love, strength and support for each other comes pouring out Chapter after Chapter but sadly some things can't be fixed by love alone.
Worth a credit? Told mainly from Sylvia's POV but there are Chapters from Jackson, a very good narrator, a well written, enjoyable, hard hitting, romantic and descriptive plot that was unstoppable once I hit 'play' and an ending that left me begging for the next instalment is a very creditworthy listen. It also makes me want to go back and listen to The Stark Trilogies all over again because, as much as I love love love Jackson, I still think Damien tops my list.

I could not stop reading... the intrigues, the delicious sexuality, the amazing images painted for us.
hot scenes great storyline.. broken can be fixed...great read and great narration too. steamy
Can't wait for the next one to come out in September. I like the story lines built for the characters that stem from the story of Damien and Nikki.
I love this offer so I really wanted to love this book. I have read the Damien Stark more than once so I was really looking forward to this Trilogy. I'm on book number two and I'm just not feeling it. It really has a lot of ups and downs at some points I'm like yes!! And others I just want to stop listening. I might like the book better if I read it myself instead of listening to the audio version. I feel like this narrator over dramatize everything it just got hard to listen to. I hope the third book is much better.
I I love the story by far much more than fifty Shades of Grey and crossfire its it's well narrated well written and it keeps you on your toes and feet Jackson steel Sylvia Brooke are the best book couple ever. I could not stop hearing the story non stop at work at home in the shower driving it was addictive erotic and well written. I cannot wait for September 1st to start listening to book 3 and the finale.
