Title: Outstanding
Review: The story of Nikki and Damian continues in Claim me. Claim me was an incredible read. The author did a exceptionaljob on portraying the feelings of both Nikki and Damian to a point that you not only understood what they were dealing with but you felt it. At points when Nikki struggled with pressure it was almost like I was with her at the point of struggle. The author did that well of a job on describing the struggle. Even with Damian ... you could feel how badly he wants to protect and take care of Nikki.This book will take you through how both of them deal with the life of being known; of having people intrude on your privacy; of having your demons prevoked and how insecurities are dealt with.You will also gain insight to Damian's demons, why his need for control, his issues with his father and his issues with his former coach. Very imformative!This book is also an incredible romance and Nikki and Damian show love, lust, possession, fear, jealousy and ultimately strength. There is also alot of sex in this book. When I finished it I thought okay ... there may have been a little too much like it was overkill but then I thought about some of the sex scenes and realized that they are integral to the book. Some of the sex scenes are a way of both Nikki and Damian to have control and lose control to deal with situations. Those scenes are much more than just sex.

Title: I love Nikki and Damien!
Review: Excellent book! I was immediately pulled back into Nikki and Damien's story. I love them as a couple! I couldn't wait to find out all about Damien's secrets. The author has a great attention to detail so I was captivated.Claim Me is book two in the Stark Trilogy and starts where book one left off. I like that throughout the book details from Release Me (book 1) were brought up as a reminder of what had happened, they were weaved in well.I think Nikki is a strong character but with so much turmoil throughout this story she had a hard time coping but remained strong. I really felt for her but wished she would have been more open with Damien about her feelings. I think Damien was more open in this book but not as forthcoming with the information but he did finally get there. The details of his past do to come to light and it was heartbreaking but just as Nikki thought.I like that they seem like a normal couple in an extremely hard situation. Damien is protective but not overly controlling and domineering though he does like to be in control. Nikki isn't internally whiny, I think she has valid concerns. I also loved the fact that she doesn't push and pester Damien to open up to her, she wants him to do it because he wants to. I thought they were more emotional and in tune with one another in this book and I loved that. It was so obvious how much they loved each other and even though there were intense moments, I thought it was all very romantic in a way too. I love them together!This book had a good pace. I never felt it was slow, but steady with an even build. I was slightly anxious throughout wanting my questions from book one to be answered. I liked Damien and Nikki's lighter moments, I thought they were fun and playful. There were LOTS of serious sex scenes... WOW! All my questions from book one were answered and some new ones were introduced as well but I'm sure they'll be covered in book three. And the last chapter? It just about killed me! I thought it had a great ending and I'm ready for Complete Me (book 3).Overall, I think this is a great, well written story. I love Nikki and Damien and can't get enough!

Title: Complex, praise-worthy and wonderful
Review: Erotic, dramatic, intense - this book is simply marvelous. Continues where book 1 ended, as young computer coding-genius Nikki Fairchild falls further for billionaire businessman Damien Stark. Nikki is an intelligent, flawed but very strong female lead. J. Kenner continues building the romance between Nikki and Damien, written with a splash of mystery and intrigue thrown in. Kenner doesn't shy away from the physical and mental scars that both lovers carry into their adult lives -Nikki recovering from a past as a cutter due to a controlling mother who forced her to compete in beauty pageants, which contrasts nicely with Damien's haunted past as an abused child tennis prodigy who hit it big. There are so many layers to this story, I love how well woven-together and balanced this story is, great supporting cast. Truly fascinating. Ends with some resolution, so while there is more to the story, there is a little less pain to the cliffhanger.

Review: OMG I have been "Damienized"!!!! This book was awesome. Loved the characters so much. This book had my pulse racing throughout. I was shocked to discover what was actually happening with Damien in Germany and cried at the end. I don't know how I will manage to wait until July for the conclusion and this has given me the worst book hangover ever!!!

Review: Nachdem ich nach "Dir verfallen" unmöglich auf den zweiten deutschen Teil warten konnte, musste ich mir den zweiten Teil in englisch bestellen, undich muss sagen: Ich bin zu Tränen gerührt worden!Die Beziehung der Protagonisten entwickelt sich im zweiten Band zu einer tiefen Liebe, die sich in den Dialogen der beiden niederschlägt. Während -wie im Genre üblich- obscure Geister der Vergangenheit die Handlungen der beiden mal mehr, mal weniger nachvollziehbar lenken, wird man gleichzeitig Zeuge einer sehr offenen und intensiven Beziehung zwischen Damien und Nikki, die einander so viel Stärke geben, dass sie zusammen alles meistern können.Gerade wegen dieser wzwei Ebenen ist die DamienStarkTriologie meiner Meinung nach die beste ihres Genres.Ich bin jedenfalls total gespannt au den dritten Band.
