As a huge fan of the tv show Brooklyn Nine-Nine, I just have to say the following:
YIPPIE KAYAK OTHER BUCKETS!
(don’t worry, you don’t have to know what this means – you’ll only get it if you watch 99 or know the ‘Christmas’ movie referenced in this book!)
Anyway!
Yay! Time for another Damien & Nikki Novella! And even better – it’s a Christmas-ish one! Whoooppeee!
I just love this series. I could read a Stark book every month for the rest of eternity!
This time Damien takes his girls to New York for some pre-Christmas fun.
But of course they wouldn’t be the Starks if it all went off without a hitch.
Damien and his wife might think they’re having a romantic dinner in their hotel … but that’s not really what’s about to happen.
I LOVED reading this.
It was so adorable and sexy and suspensy and dangerous.
We meet many of our favorite people again .. Dallas, Jane, Jackson, Ryan …
I never ever want to say goodbye to the Stark world!
And now I can’t wait for the next full-length Nikki & Damien book coming next fall! → Enchant Me.
CHERISH ME was another little sexy & exciting & adorable #MustRead in the amazing Stark Series! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Damien – this one will always be MINE!
“His Nikki. His wife. Hell, his life.”
That says it all, right? Once Damien met Nikki, she became his everything. I’ve read hundreds of books, many I can’t remember, but I’ll never forget this amazing couple. Their love story is a standard not many can come close to touching. I love it when the author decides to feed my addiction and gives me a taste of one of my favorite couples to hold me over until my next fix. This little Christmas novella that I thought would just be sweet and sexy is oh so much more. It’s suspenseful with a capital S.
In case you haven’t heard, the author decided to throw in some elements from one of her favorite holiday movies. She’s insane! It’s not a holiday movie at all (but I still love the book)! Can you guess which one?
She also crammed a lot of yumminess into Cherish Me that brought a smile to my face as I enjoyed all the things I’ve come to love about Damien and Nikki and their family and friends. It’s a perfect mixture of all the things that keep us coming back time and again. I can’t wait to get my hands on Indulge Me. The line forms here…
Wow! This was action movie worthy. Talk about edge of your seat and hiding behind a cushion. It starts off calmly and sweet enough and then the twists come, boy I’m used to this couple having a few problems, you know the odd threat or kidnap type of thing. J kenner outdid herself with this one. Loved it. Started and finished 30/9/21
Damian Stark is an accomplished man who loves his wife to no end.
Nikki tries hard to spoil the man who has everything. When a holiday trip goes oh so very wrong, can our fearsome duo save each other?
Great continuation of our favorite steamy power couple!
I will read any book that Mrs. Kenner writes for Damien and Nikki Stark and the Stark world. These two are one of the best book couples that I’ve ever read and I love getting updates on their lives every so often but I would love to have more books more frequently about these 2 people.
Nikki and Damien are taking the family to NY for the Christmas holidays. While on the East coast, they visit with their friends Dallas and Jane and decide to have an adult night and have their friends watch their girls. When Nikki and Damien arrive at their destination, they are enjoying their one on one time (which is always hot) until something very unexpected happens. Nikki is worried and Damien is determined to get to her. As we watch the events unfold, we start to see a different side of Damien so it makes me wonder what new adventures await these 2 and if there will be any life changes made afterwards. It’s great to read about some of the other couples in this world because I sure miss finding out what’s going on with each of them.
Jeez… J. Kenner never seems to stump or amazes me with our beloved Damien and Nikki Stark! Turning the table at the last minute or having our hearts swoon is her cup of tea. Always wondered what it’s like to be inside Julie’s head when she writes these characters and the storylines that connect with each book.
Apart of the 1001 Dark Nights , Julie brings us Cherish Me which was a thrilling, on the edge of your seat novella that will have your heart pumping and your insides swooning… all in one book.
I can never NEVER get tired of this couple. Damien and Nikki will ALWAYS be one of my favorite characters, as their world is dominate, loveable and at times… thrilling, to say the least.

Wow! Cherish Me was outstanding! As usual I couldn’t put this book down. Damien’s love for Nikki is so touching that I’m in awe of their love for each other.
Cherish Me will have you on the edge of your seats and swooning over Damien Stark once again.
I voluntarily received an ARC for a honest review..
I love Damian and Nikki!! I have loved every single book about them, and I loved this one too. There’s love, laughter, friendship, intrigue, danger,and a surprise that will make you smile.
Nikki and Damian are taking their girls away for the holidays… to NewYork. And, well, just wait and see what Ms. Kenner does with this one!! If you’re a Damian and Nikki fan, you need to read this!! I promise you’ll love it.
‘Cherish Me’ is the latest instalment in the Damien Stark series by J. Kenner, and it is the perfect little festive novella to brighten your mood and get you into the Christmas spirit.
When Nikki and Damien Stark leave their children to embark upon an evening away together, for Nikki to reveal a surprise, and for them to celebrate, neither predict that their evening will take a drastic turn for the worst and become a nightmare.
Inspired by a debatable festive movie, Kenner creates a charming novella that is entertaining, romantic and filled with tension.
Can be read as a stand-alone or as part of the ongoing Stark series, and I read it all in one sitting. The perfect treat for romance and action readers. Thrilling, gripping and left me with that warm fuzzy feeling.
I’ll take more of Damien and Nikki Stark any way I can get them, and this time around, J Kenner is giving her readers some pre-holiday cheer in their newest book, Cherish Me. Heading into this installment, I had an idea what Christmas movie J. Kenner was hinting at borrowing elements from and I can wholeheartedly say that it definitely fits the who Damien Stark is and what he’s willing to do to protect the most important people in his life.
I’ll never tire of more full stories and novellas for this power couple. They’re one of the first hero/heroine pairs I was introduced to when I started reading romance, so they’ll always hold a special place in my romance couple files because every new book illustrates the ever-growing bond Damien and Nikki share as well as the importance of surrounding themselves with those they love and those they would willingly die to protect.
4 Poison Apples
When Ms. Kenner decides to release another Damien and Nikki story, I just cannot wait to get my hands on it and with this one, it was worth the wait. Combining all of the good stuff for the holiday season and throwing in some classic movie references and you will be hooked. Another aspect of making this a little more personal is the setting is the great city of New York where Manhattan is the crowning jewel to the action. However, all that glitters is not gold and it seems as if the Starks just cannot catch a break as their romantic holiday away from the kids takes a turn that neither one expected. Filled with action, suspense, steam and oodles of love, this is one novella that definitely brings the holiday cheer when you need it most and will keep the spirit alive for the rest of the year and then some. I volunteered to read a copy of this book.
They are soul mates and you always feel the love.
This is the continuing story in a Novella of Damian & Nikki. Their whole family is on vacation for a few days in New York. They have one day and night in the City all by themselves that Nikki has planned, with a surprise for Damian. It never turns out all a bed of roses for them, though. They accidentally run into trouble that has nothing to do with them personally. It’s a wonderful Novella, and you always feel their true emotions laid out on the table. Congrats to you J. Kenner for another wonderful story.
Loved this novella about nikki and damien. Fast paced and full of action but also full of love. When trouble comes can he protect nikki in time?
Nikki and Damien is taking a couple of days of to spend time with the girls. But one day is just for them and Nikki has a big surprise for her husband. But suddenly they are both in danger and Nikki doesn’t know if she will ever get a chance to give Damien his surprise or if she is to late. This book was fantastic as always but it was also so exciting. A lot of action and a lot of love I loved it
Is Damien the new James Bond?
Damien and Nicki are back!!! This series keeps getting better and better. Damien shows us a new side of him. His love for Nicki brings out his protective side in a way we have never seen. It amazes me how this series keeps getting better and better.
One story you won’t be able to put down!!
Y’all Cherish Me is quintessential Nikki and Damien Stark—sexy, smart, sweet, suspenseful and swoony. And was just what I needed this week to take my mind off current events!
This little novel packs a whole lot of punch—and some holiday cheer too! It’s another glimpse into Nikki and Damien’s world—their life, their love, their family. And a glimpse at their future too.
I don’t want to give anything away, but trust me, Cherish Me is an amazing addition to the Stark Ever After series and should not be missed!
I can never get enough of Nikki and Damien Stark’s story. Every time I think Julie can’t bring more angst, thrilling, and sensual moments with the two love birds she proves me wrong. This novella gives you everything you love about the Stark’s saga with a lil holiday moments. Thanks Julie for bring more to of the Stark World, we all love.
I love Nikki and Damien! This short novella is a great addition to the series. The storyline is suspenseful, action packed, and fast-paced. This story definitely reminded me Die Hard. I loved it!
Damien & Nikki Stark seem to shine brighter, love harder & live more dangerously than other literary couple and that’s why I love them. It’s always fun to catch up with the Starks, but this story takes everything up a notch- it’s an adrenaline filled mash up of glamorous romantic suspense shows like “Hart to Hart” meets the high octane thrills of “Die Hard”. Edge of your seat action & sizzling romance make it impossible to put down!
