“My absolute favorite! The depth of this story is insane! J. Kenner killed it with this one!! … TOP 2019 MUST READ!” – The Guide too Romance Novels “This. Was. So. EXCITING! I picked it up and could not put it down. I think I might have held my breath through those first chapters, I was riveted!” — About That Story True love never fades… fades…
After surviving a troubled childhood, Denise can’t believe that she’s blissfully married to her partner and soulmate. She’s confident that not even Mason’s long-term, deep-cover assignment will shake their bond. And she certainly doesn’t anticipate that when he finally walks back through her door that he’ll have no memory of her, himself, or their time together…
When Mason is pulled out of an operation gone bad, all he knows is what he’s told — that he was a covert agent, that he has information vital to national security somewhere in his head, and that they can tell him no more for fear of burying those hard-fought secrets even further. They tell him nothing else; not even that the beautiful woman who makes his heart beat faster is not just his partner, but also his wife.
The secret she must keep wrecks Denise, who wants only to return to Mason’s arms. But despite the desire that still burns hot between them, she can’t tell him who she is—or that she’s carrying his child.
But when dark forces threaten both their lives in order to retrieve the information trapped in Mason’s mind, it’s not their past that will be tested, but the tenuous new love now burning hot between them.

An incredible addition to the ever-popular Stark Security Series. Mason Walker wakes up in a seedy hotel with no memory of who he is or where he belongs. when he checked in he gave the name of Jack Sawyer. Denise Marshall Walker has been missing her husband for two long years and when he is brought in she can’t believe it’s him. With the help of Stark Security and the agency he works for he begins slowly piecing things together but can he save Denise in time so they can get back everything that they missed.
An incredible Book with mystery, romance, uncertainty and the swoon-worthiness that is Damian Stark.
5 stars because that’s the most you can give
“…maybe death had come to release him. Or maybe none of it had happened yet, and his pain wasn’t a memory but a forewarning.”
Wow! Just wow! If Kenner was trying to keep me in an emotional vortex she succeeded! This book has climbed towards the very top of my Kenner and all time book favorites. It had so many elements that kept my heart pounding.
“You think it’s going to break me if I walk into that room and he doesn’t know who I am.”
Broken with you will have you frustrated, hopeful, teary eyed, joyful, smirking, confused and praying that time doesn’t run out.
“What can I say? You bring out the worst in me.” “Try to keep it inside,” I say, then turn and walk away.”
I’m anxiously awaiting Ruined With You. I’ve never been successful with waiting patiently for the next J Kenner book release. I’m greedy when it comes to her brilliant words.
What can I say that hasn’t already been said before about this highly addictive captivating read …..
This book blew me away, it broke my heart as I tried to imagine looking at the man I love and have him look back with no recognition of who I am, this book is an emotional roller coaster but it’s a ride you should jump on because I’m sure you will be as addicted as I am to the men and their partners from the Stark Security World.
“He’s erased me. Somehow his mind really has erased me along with everything else, and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it”
Denise Walker is going through the motions in reality she only wants one thing and that’s her husband Mason back, he’s been under cover for far to long and at this stage she isn’t sure if he is dead or alive, the problem is when he finally comes back to her he has no memory of her and triggering his memory may also break the man she loves ……..
Strong individuals who become even stronger as a couple, I loved Mason and Denny, what an amazing love story they have to tell, it touches every emotion, pain, heartbreak, joy and love as we join this couple as they find there way back to each other oh did mention the suspense see I told you this book had it all. Highly recommend and a must read !!!!!
Ahhh I loved Broken With You! Even though this the second book in the Stark Security series, it can be read as a standalone and I can not recommend it enough!
Mason and Denise’s story is filled with what ifs and a million different possibilities. There are so many emotions just right under the surface that I couldn’t put it down; I was waiting for it all to explode!! Both of them have highly intense and secretive careers and are utterly unprepared for when their two world collide.
My emotions were all over the place; I was intrigued, anxious, hopeful and swoony. I literally read this in one sitting and it is definitely a book I plan on re-reading!
I was pulled in from the very beginning with this one. J. Kenner did a phenominal job with this one. She kept me on the edge of the pages the entire read of Broken With You. I’m so in love with this book. Jack aka Mason just wow. And don’t get me started with Denise. I love those two. The strength Denise shows through out this one is amazing. Even with everything “Jack” is going through you can still feel the bond they share. The secrets that come out in this one be still my heart. This book just pulls you and doesn’t let go. I can tell you one thing it was amazing to get to experience that kind of love that doesn’t let go and over come so much. Hold onto your seats for this one because you will not be disappointed at all.
I loved the first book in the series so I was really looking forward to this one. Stark Security – now anyone who is a fan of J. Kenner will know of Stark Industries and how great her previous books are. This is no exception, although it isn’t one of my favourites.
It took me a while to get into this story but once I did it was a good, steady read. I didn’t feel the connection with these characters as I have with others so maybe this is why I didn’t get into it as much. That being said it was a really good story and very well written I just didn’t get the feels I normally get from a J Kenner book, I would still definitely recommend it. I am looking forward to the next book which I will one click without hesitation.
I love the new Stark Security team. I am awed and swayed with so much emotion. I did get to read the Novella about Denny and Mason. That is where I got some background on the couple. You don’t need to read their Novella, but I suggest you do.
Denny broke my heart. She had to be so strong for Mason. I could only imagine the pain. She literally ripped her own heart just to keep Mason safe. When the AHA moment happened, I had hope.
Mason is always stay true to himself. I love how he felt Denny’s heart and soul from the get go. He is truly a hero.
The passion has changed for Denny and Mason. He is pure alpha and works on instinct. Which worked for Denny too 😉 All the images that were running through my head.
Broken with You does no disappoint. Its about love, hope, and working hard for love. I whole heartily recommend this book!
THIS BOOK! It was different in the best way possible. I will be honest, I didn’t read the blurb. I went in completely blind and it was AMAZING! This story was completely unexpected and I loved every single minute of it.
Denise works for Stark Security and if you read the first book in the series you met her and know her as Quince’s partner. Mason is Denise’s husband, he has also been deep undercover. Denise had no idea where he was, if he was okay or really anything about him. That is until she received a phone call that changed her life.
This story broke my heart. Poor Denise. I seriously wanted to hug her so many times throughout the story. I can’t even begin to imagine all the emotions she went. She was finally able to be with the man she loves and he didn’t remember her and she couldn’t even tell him the truth. I just kept yelling at Mason to remember Denise. To remember his wife. I loved that despite not having any memories there was something familiar about Denise, that he was drawn to her. Their chemistry and their love was HOT.
I was not expecting this story to be so emotional. It was heartbreaking, it was full of loss and pain, but also there was so much love and joy. It was the perfect storm of emotions and a MUST READ!
WOW JUST WOW! J. Kenner wrote the best story ever for Denise & Mason! 5 amazing stars for this one!
Denise or as her friends call her Denny, has been wondering if her husband, who’s been on an undercover mission for 2 years, and in her heart she know’s he’s still alive, but dammit she wants him home. Mason is the love of her life, she needs him now more than ever. When she finds out he’s back she rushes to be with him only to find out that he’s has amnesia and more than likely won’t remember who she is.
Read along as J. Kenner takes you on their journey to try to get back to who they were before the mission. But in true style of this author, the road is full of roadblocks, and things you won’t see coming! I could not put this book down, grab it asap, you will not be disappointed!
J. Kenner has just upped the ante in Broken With You, the second book in Stark Security series. This series has fast become one of my favourite by J. Kenner. This story in particular has nailed the romantic thriller feel. It was erotic, intense and passionate in true J. Kenner fashion. But the adrenaline filled suspense made this an exceptional read.
The men and women both are equally badass in J.Kenner’s stories. Mason and Dennise both have worked in intelligence and special op for years. This life put stress on every married couple. When Mason is rescued in a broken state and with amnesia after a brutal mission, the responsibility is on Denny’s shoulder to bring him back in true sense. She is dealing with the pain of losing her husband and Mason is struggling with his mind. But the danger is not over yet. Would they survive it together or get broken?
The dynamics between Mason and Dennise was very complex. Their pain and suffering was breaking my heart. The angsty feeling was almost too much to bear. I kept on turning pages anxiously to see where the story is taking the couple. Their devotion, loyalty, dedication and determination to do anything for each other made this couple very special to me! The threats and twists kept on coming and I could not let my guard down for a single moment. I have chewed off all my nails. The gripping story line brought all the puzzle pieces together brilliantly. The execution was perfect. Mason and Denny proved they are true partners in life and in field. The story has exciting chase, thrilling action and intricate mind games.
Broken With You by J. Kenner was an epic story of love, war and survival. The sensual and passionate love story meets the adventure and mystery to create the unique and fascinating story. I can’t wait to read the next story of the series!
Received ARC for Honest Review
Oh my goodness, if I could have kept life from creeping in and making me put my kindle down I would have read this in one sitting it was SO BLEEPING GOOD! Denise is frantic because her husband has been gone too long with no one hearing from him until she gets a call, the call she knew meant either he was back or gone forever. Turns out he is back, though not, because Mason doesn’t remember he is Mason Walker, he has amnesia. He woke up in a motel in the middle of the desert having been beaten and trying to piece his life back together. He remembers enough to put together a phone number and when he calls it turns out his first clues to his life are he is an agent, and they are bring him back into the fold. Now he has to figure out who he is and why he snapped but there are other players who want something from him but he doesn’t know who, what, or where that something is and just as he is starting to put something of his life back together those forces are trying to take it apart. There is a prequel to this one I suggest you pick up for free, well worth it! You could read this one then as a standalone without the rest of the series or any of the other Stark books but really, why would you want to! I highly recommend them all. Give me more!
What a beautifully heartbreaking journey! Denise may be one of the strongest heroines I have read in a long time. I cannot imagine my husband and soulmate forgetting me! This couple is absolutely beautiful! I hate spoilers, so I will just tell you that this is a MUST READ!! FIVE HUGE STARS!
Yes! Another winning read from J Kenner within the expanding world of Damien Stark, his friends and associates. This episode stars Denny and Mason in an exciting, at times heart stopping and emotional story which kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved it and devoured it in 2 huge gulps as I was just so involved and anxious to get to the resolution!
Well written, exciting, great characters and a hint at the next story! Really! What’s not to love?..nothing! Absolutely no spoilers here as I am sure every fan of J Kenner would want to enjoy every minute, just as I have
If I could give this more than 5 stars I would! This book has just landed on my favorites list. SO good. I got sucked in even before I started this book. (Shadows Of You is a prequel for this book. It’s not required to read before, but I HIGHLY recommend you do!) Action, suspends, hot sexiness, this book was so many things. It was a different kind of second chance romance that I couldn’t get enough of!
“He’s erased me. Somehow his mind really has erased me along with everything else, and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it. I can’t kiss him back to reality as if I’m a fairy tale princess and he’s a prince trapped in a hundred year sleep. I can’t even tell him the truth. All I can do is cry, but I’m not even allowed to do that.”
Oh, my poor heart!!! This book just about ripped it out of me!! I can’t imagine having the man I love, the man I married, look at me and not know who I was! Poor Denny!!
Denise “Denny” Walker just wants one thing -her husband Mason back. He’s been gone for two years – deep cover – and she has no idea if he’s dead or alive. He’s the love of her life and she was sure if he was dead, she might as well be too. But, by some miracle, he’s come back to her. The only problem is he has no idea who she is, or what he means to her. Unable to tell him the truth, she must watch as he tries to remember on his own. But, when threats come, looking for information trapped in his mind, they target his one weakness – her. With time running out, can he put the splintered memories back together in time to save her? Or will she lose everything just as soon as she got him back?
Mason Walker woke up in a strange place, not knowing who he was or how he got there. Somehow recalling a phone number and secret code word, he finds himself back at headquarters, but no one looks familiar and he’s not sure who he can trust. Except her. He might not know her, but he’s inexplicably drawn to her. He shouldn’t feel this way – she’s a married woman and her husband is missing. As they spend time together, working to trigger his memories of his mission so they can shut down a terrorist ring, he can’t fight it any longer. He’ll do anything for her. But, now, a threat related to his mission has her in their cross-hairs and time is running out to unlock the only information that can save her. He can’t lose her now that he’s found her. Again.
Holy Hannah I loved this couple! So much pain, heartbreak, love, joy, and sorrow. Talk about the feels!!! What an amazing love story of knowing your true soulmate and having faith!! I can’t wait for the rest of this series!!
4.5 stars!
Job well done! Kenner is so skillful in her writing. She has the ability to write a spin off series in Damien Starks world and make me question if I like this series more. I loved seeing the entwining of the characters. (Please give Cass her own story)
This story is focused around Mason. He is gone a mission that’s supposed to be short but end up lasting 2 years. When he returns home he has no memory. Denise, Mason’s wife, is sad Mason doesn’t remember her and makes her secret worst. This story could be tricky with Mason’s memory issue but Kenner did a great job with the story flowed.
I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. I loved the flow of memory coming back to Mason. I thought the book had a great feels and once you dive in the book sucked you in. There was perfect emotional balance in the book.
In the customary J. Kenner style this second book in the New Stark world is filled with drama, intrigue and beautifully written characters. The reader gets locked din from the very first chapter and is taken on a wild ride while falling in love with Denise and Mason. With Mason not having any memory and Denise not able to help him regain it, the heart wrenching story is one you should not miss.
Heart-stopping action kept me engaged in this story. Mason wakes up in a hotel not knowing where he is or who for that matter but he has a set of numbers in his head. One phone call leads him back to his team but he doesn’t remember the mission yet, in his dreams, he sees intense green eyes. When he meets Denise, his former partner, he has a connection to the eyes that draws him in. Denise is overjoyed that Mason has returned but sadly he doesn’t know who he is. This creates a slippery slope as they work to restore his memory without losing him into his mind. I was on edge in this story the entire time. What was the true mission? I knew whatever he had uncovered had to be intense. Will he ever remember Denise again and their love? Who is lurking out there if Mason is back? I was pulled in from page 1 and had to know how it would end. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
I knew this one was going to be good just from how Shattered With You ended. I recommend that you read Shadows of You, which is a prequel to this book. You won’t miss anything, but it adds to this story. The story flows really well with lots of feels with Mason not remember who he is. You get a feel for both Denny and Mason’s frustrations with all of this. A true suspenseful story with time running out. The steam is definitely lacking compared to other books by this author, but that’s how the story needed to be. There are a couple twists and turns and surprising reveals, and new characters are introduced who have potential for their own books. I’m a little sad that certain things didn’t pan out like it expected, something doesn’t happen. Even though this is a standalone, maybe this thing will eventually happen in another story. The reason I say this is because all the books seem to end with a party and Damien’s house and they always have some sort of a reveal.
A fantastic story with twists, turns, humor and romance. Julie wrote an action packed romantic thriller that will grab you at page one and keep you entertained throughout. The characters development is brilliant and I love how Damien and others make appearances. This can 100% be read as a standalone!
