From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author J. Kenner comes a new story in her Stark Ever After series… Each day with Damien is a miracle, each moment with our children a gift. And yet I cannot escape the growing sense that a storm is gathering, threatening to pull me away, to rip us apart. To drag me down, once again, into a darkness to which I swore never to return.I have to fight it—I … have to fight it—I know that. And I am waging the battle with of all my heart. But it is Damien who is my strength, and we both know that the only way to push away the darkness is for him to fold me in his arms and claim me completely. And for me to surrender myself, once again, to the fire that burns between us.
Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.

Been craving a peak into the happenings of Damien and Nikki, well this book delivers. It’s everything you expect in a Stark Ever After book; steamy moments, drama that tries to rock our favorite couple’s bond, travel of some sort, check-in from one of your other favorite characters, and a hot new (?) character (fingers crossed that this one gets his own book in the future). This is a quick read sure wet your whistle until the next book in the Stark Universe.
Love when we go back into Damien and Nikki’s world, with them center stage. Don’t get me wrong, I love all the Stark characters, but these two are the glue that holds everything together. Nikki knows that something is troubling Damien but he won’t tell her what, even though they have an agreement – no more secrets. Nikki plans a surprise weekend away for her and Damien to try to get him to open up. As usual, things don’t go as planned and although their relationship is not put to a serious test, it is a little rocky for a time. This is like your oldest friend visiting, you haven’t seen them in forever, but you pick up exactly where you left off. Keep them coming Ms. Kenner.
“I want to get lost in your arms. I want to fly.”
“As you wish, Mrs. Stark.”
Gah!! Damien and Nikki are the ultimate couple!! So in love and so strong together!! But even the strongest relationships can be put to the test, can’t they?
Damien and Nikki have been through it all over the course of their relationship – pain, betrayal, heartache, joy and incredible steam. But something is wrong. Damien isn’t himself and she knows he’s keeping something from her. Determined to take his mind off whatever is bothering him, and hopefully get him to open up about what’s been weighing on him, Nikki plans a weekend getaway to give them a chance to find their way back to each other. Everything was going to be perfect. Until it wasn’t. A bombshell she never saw coming is dropped, making her question everything she knows about her husband. Is the trust forever broken, or can they get through this storm unscathed and stronger than ever.
If you loved Nikki and Damien before, you’ll love them even more after this one!! A great short read, and as ususal the Stark’s bring the sparks!
What an incredible couple. I am always drawn into their love, passion and downright erotic connection. The love they have for their daughters is a joy to experience as they face life’s daily challenges. Of course, it’s Nikki and Damien which means drama always follows them and tried to derail their incredible love for each other. Having experienced their entire story, getting to see them both be stronger in their love and trust of each other is a blessing knowing all they have overcome together. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
Will there ever be a time in Damien and Nicki’s life that won’t test the trust and bond that they share? It’s so much harder when you’re wealthy and in the public eye. They have come along way in their journey and, once again, the bonds are strong.
I love all things when it Damien Stark and wife Nikki! I am over the moon in love with their little family and all the successes they have surpassed. Please Me was a bit suspenseful because you never know what to expect when it comes to Damien and Nikki. As Nikki tries to rekindle their romance, she also tried to give Damien space. I love that the girls are getting bigger and it truly feels like coming back home when I read a new Stark story.
When we find out what is really happening in Damien’s world, I was shocked. J. Kenner is good keeping you in the dark until she wants you to know what is happening. Please Me is sexy, fun, and super yummy to have on your Kindle! I loved every single word all the way to the last page.
I’m so pleased to be back in the world of Damien and Nikki Stark and from past experience with these guys I should have know it wasn’t going to be easy just when you think their life is perfect something from the past has them slipping back into the darkness that often surrounds Damien.
Damien isn’t himself Nikki knows this because she knows this man better than she knows herself and she needs to get him back on track but is she capable of breaking down the wall he has put up..
This short read was perfect and as with all J.Kenners books about the Starks I was left wanting more and this novella has really wetted my appetite for the Stark Security Series. Damien and Nikki are a couple with so much love for each their family and close friends and I love to escape into their world which is full of emotion, passion, intrigue and lots of love. Looking forward to more from this author.
Please Me is a quick steamy read from the world of Damien Stark. I just can’t get enough of this couple! They have such deep love and passion for each other and a connection that no matter what is thrown their way they will manage to get through it together.
4.5 Star Review Please Me (Stark Ever After Series) by J Kenner
A fun quick and steamy read to add to the Stark world. Damien and Nikki are as busy as ever. Nikki developing an app and juggling motherhood. Damien seems to be a little distracted so she plans a weekend getaway to San Francisco. Of course nothing will go to plan and life will soon get in their way.
I haven’t had a chance to read the other books about Damien and Nikki but I intend to one click as soon as time permits. Having said that I had no trouble reading this novella and after reading Please Me they have moved up the list for me to grab and read as soon as possible.
The relationship between Damien and Nikki is intense and passionate and I can only guess at their history at this time, but it seems that they are more in love than ever. Please Me shows us how balancing work and family can lead to misunderstandings and frustrations, it is full of humour and the chemistry between Damien and Nikki sizzles.
“He is my heart and my soul. My breath and my body.
We know each other, he and I. Intimately. Passionately. Fully and completely.”
Through good times and bad, til death do us part. Damien and Nikki have been through it all. Ups and downs, joyful moments, yet hardships that no one should have to endure… and yet, at the end they are stronger than ever! THIS is what makes EVERY ASPECT of the Stark series the most engrossing, addicting books by J. Kenner so EPIC!
This little novella in the 1001 Dark Nights series takes us back into Damien and Nikki’s lives and the shit storm has hit the fan yet again. Let’s see how their bond will grow, their love will blossom afterwards… cause come on, we all know no one leaves Damien Stark! LOL! Loved how Nikki takes the lead and Damien follows, to see her character now compared to where she started all those books ago… its fantastic!
If you have not jumped on the Stark bandwagon… you MUST! No question about it!
Damien Stark has a secret and Nikki is concerned so she has planned a weekend away and all is well until they are accosted outside the hotel by the paparazzi. Allegations are made and since Damien hasn’t told Nikki what is happening she is blindsided. We get to see this couple do what they do best when they come under fire, they rally together and are stronger together. We get to see the family together and, of course, have sexy times with Damien and Nikki but we are also introduced to a new player in this ever-fascinating universe…Quincy. Yum…
This was a standalone in this compilation of Stark books.
ARC received for an honest review
Yessssss! I love diving back into Stark World. I just can’t get enough of Damien, Nikki and their brood.
Please Me is a short, quick read that I devoured in no time at all. I will take every scrap of N & D that Ms Kenner will give us.
I am just hoping for the day that someone isn’t out to get them lol
I love seeing our darlings with their growing family, their extended family and friends. (I neeeeeed more of Ryan and Jamie ASAP!)
There is more great set up for the Stark Security Series- which I can’t wait to get my hand on.
There was only one thing wrong with this novella – it was still too short!
To quote Britney – give me more, give me give me more!
Who doesn’t love a Damien & Nikki update!
Follow their story as yet again they are hit with a whopper of a scandal! Can Nikki get past this one? Or will it be the breaking point?
More hot sex with these two, enjoy this story I always love these two characters!! 5 stars and grab it!
Ahhh I absolutely love Nikki and Damien! Please Me is a short novella filled with all of our favorites about this dynamic duo. Humor, sexy time and a twist of angst make this a fantastic read!
EEEEEP!!! Nikki and Damien Stark are back with another little Novella!
I hope this will keep on happening until the end of times!
In this little book we have Nikki busy with a new App and with the kids. And something is troubling Damien – he tells Nikki it’s work, but she doesn’t really believe it.
She’s surprising him with a little weekend getaway to San Francisco – but things will not go they way she planned!!!
___________
This was the perfect little addition for all fans of Damien and Nikki!
I hope we’ll get a new one every other month for ever and ever and ever!
This one was realllly short – only 70% of the book was the story, the rest was other stuff – but it was a sweet, sexy, adorable and exciting little thing! I just adore D+N as parents! I want more of that – and we’ll get more of that. There’s a full-length novel coming soon and another one and a novella next year! YESSSS!
We also meet someone again in PLEASE ME who will be part of the new Stark Security Trilogy!!!
I never ever want to say goodbye to the Stark world!
