Play My Game: A Stark Ever After Novella

J. Kenner — 2015

For fans of Release Me comes an emotionally intense eBook novella from J. Kenner. Following fan favorites Damien Stark and his wife, Nikki Fairchild, Play My Game is the story of their first Valentine’s Day as newlyweds, and offers an alluring glimpse of Jackson Steele, the alpha male featured in Kenner’s Say My Name. I never imagined that anything could top our honeymoon, but life as Mrs. Damien Stark is sweeter than any fantasy. We are forever bound by our love and our desire. His touch is my greatest treasure—and is purely mine alone. Yet no matter where we go, the ghosts of our pasts follow. We can’t escape our secrets, or the people who desperately want to bring us down. Even on Valentine’s Day, neither of us is safe. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect Damien, to fulfill his every need. His kiss is my calling, his passion my truest bliss. The dangers we face, we now face together—and nothing can make me run. Play My Game is intended for mature audiences. Praise for J. Kenner and The Stark Trilogy “Kenner may very well have cornered the market on sinfully attractive, dominant antiheroes and the women who swoon for them.”—RT Book Reviews “J. Kenner has written a sensually seductive storyline that catches your imagination. . . . [Release Me] will suck you in from the very start.”—The Reading Cafe “Hot, passionate, thrilling, and enticing! . . . I couldn’t put this book down.”—Divas Daily Book Blog, on Complete Me

My Review

Play My Game is a novel part of the Stark saga and this book is part of the extended epilogue series that is done by this author to give us more insights into this couple after they have received their HEA. In Play My Game, its coming up on their anniversary on Valentines Day (those who have read this couple know how important this day is to them specifically) and Damien Stark, is wanting to do something special for his wife Nikki, and embarks on a challenge for her, a bit of a game, where she has to discover clues to get to the special gift he has for her. This is especially delightful to read if you have loved these books and especially this couple. And it does have some connections to the Stark International series as we do have a moment of running into Jackson.

I absolutely had such a BALL OF FUN with Damien and Nikki again. It was truly so wonderful to get back to this couple. so much so I am debating doing a re read of them lol They are most definitely one of my favorite couples for contemporary. Seeing them all in love with each other and just embracing the domestic lifestyle was beyond endearing. It kept me with a smile on my face and with a bit of mystery as they are being blackmailed.

Overall I had a blast with this novella and returning to this wonderful world that captured my heart years ago!
