Don’t miss this SEXY, EMOTIONAL, SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE!
The only price she won’t pay is her heart.
Quincy Radcliffe has fast become a key asset at the newly formed Stark Security. A former British agent with lethal skills and criminal connections, it’s a no-brainer for him to rise through the ranks.
But Quincy isn’t the man he appears to be. And one woman could expose all his secrets.
Once, he worshipped Eliza Tucker. He adored her body and then broke her heart. But now she needs help, and he’s the only man that can do it. Quincy knows he must either turn his back on her or risk revealing his dark past to the one woman who can—and will—tear open his old wounds.
For years, Eliza has tried to forget the man who shattered her. His smoldering good looks had drawn her in; his British charm had enchanted her. But it was the wildness of his seduction and the ferocity of his passion that captured her. She’d given herself to him—and he’d destroyed her.
Now, he’s the only person who can help find her missing sister.
She’ll use him because she has to. She’ll pay anything he demands, whether in the bank or the bedroom.
She won’t fall for him again. But what if it isn’t her choice to make?
Charismatic. Dangerous. Sexy as hell.
Meet the elite team at Stark Security.

Spellbinding Second Chance Hot Romance
The main characters are well developed, charismatic on page, and uniquely interesting to experience. The first book in the new series is a hit! Pulls you in and doesn’t let you stop until you have finished the story and leaves you panting for more. J. Kenner has created another great creative experience for her readers!
I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book for a voluntary, completely honest, and non-incentivized review.
Just keep the Stark books coming. I love The Stark world and will never get enough! Shattered With You is full of suspense. Quincy and Eliza had a relationship in London, but he broke her heart. Years later they find themselves at the same party. Eliza is looking for her missing sister and Quincy and his Stark security team are also there on a job. The past, a second chance, twists, turns, and romance – a great read that kept me guessing!!!
Shattered With You was a thrilling read! It was intriguing, intense, and sexy. There was a fantastic romantic suspense vibe happening, I loved that element of mystery and drama. It kept things exciting and I was hooked the entire time!
Sometimes your past can come back to haunt you, other times, well it could be a blessing in disguise.
Quincy Radcliffe had a rough childhood and became a British Agent. Now, he is working with Stark Security on a very tough and important case.
Eliza Tucker’s childhood wasn’t easy either. She is an actress who spent an amazing 6 months and met Quincy Radcliff literally by accident. Slowly, Quincy stole her heart, then ripped it out when he left.
Now years later they are forced to work together, but can they?
Let the sparks fly!!
If you love the Stark Series, you will LOVE Stark Security!!! I loved every detail and I know you will too!!
This is the first in a new spin off series in the world of all things Stark.
Four years ago, Eliza, a struggling actress, was living in London when she meets Quincy Radcliffe, an extremely handsome Brit, who gives her three months of fun, mind blowing sex and ultimately love. Until one day he just disappears, with no explanation.
Now Stateside, Quincy is working for Stark Security Associates and is looking for a missing princess. Eliza is looking for her sister, Emma a PI, and when it looks like the two cases are interconnected, Eliza and Quincy have no choice but to work together. Considering she never wanted to lay eyes on Quincy ever again, and throw in the fact that she’s still in love with him, makes for a lot of angst and steamy moments.
As with many Stark novels, there are plenty of familiar faces popping up, which makes the characters seem like one big family. This story is steamy, Eliza is witty and Quincy is a tortured, brooding soul who must work through his demons if he’s going to win Eliza over. Another J. Kenner success.
Suspense, tension, seed y underground crime, and an emotional romance that’s alive with passion, betrayal and crushing secrets.
I always crave a new book by JK. She writes with elegant power and undeniable sensual intent. Still, I was caught by surprise by this magnificent blend of torn romance and tortured characters who love each other yet are forced apart against their very core needs.
The male character, Quince, is deep into criminal investigations that lead him to dark corners of human nature. When he bumps into a ghost from the past in the middle of a mission, all his guilt and pain resurface in the face of all he’s lost.
There are some raw scenes about Eliza’s cruel past and the beautiful, cut-too-short relationship in London that explain the background of both characters. The current action is about finding Eliza’s sister as it crosses with Quince’s investigation. It’s filled with suspense and angst for lost times and the mystery of why they couldn’t stay together.
I loved that, and I suffered for the characters’ many sorrows. Through grit and clever thinking, they reach a climax of brutal action and great closure. It was phenomenal. Just as seeing the whole Stark Security team working together with Intel and spy technology.
The seed was planted for the next story and I bet it’s going to be thrilling 😀
Shattered With You is a fabulous second chance read. Eliza and Quincy meet years ago before one thing tore Quincy form Eliza’s life. You need to read this book to find out because even though I really want to say more I wont. When they meet up again is it by chance, accident or was it just meant to be? Well…….find out for yourself. Eliza and Quincy still have this amazing chemistry and have never got over each other. They work so well together to find who Quincy and the rest of Stark Security are looking for. Eliza is sweet and open even with everything that went down in her past. Quincy is secretive and hurting from his past. Together they are amazing. You will need to read this to see these two together. I loved every moment of this one and couldn’t put it down. Go one click this one.
A Great Begining to a New Favorite Series
Shattered With You has all the things I have come to love about this author’s stories. Suspense, steam, and strong, yet broken characters. I love how everything in this world is interconnected-I love getting a glimpse of all of my favorite characters.
Quincy is swoony- the fact that he’s Brittish gives him major points for me. I also have a thing for security guys… Eliza has overcome a tragic past, which makes her tough yet vulnerable. When they cross paths again after a previous relationship, the tension is there. I like how the series jumped from past to present in the beginning to get the backstory.
The suspense part of the plot will leave you on the edge of your seat. Seriously, there was lots of gasping and nail-biting.
This is a good way to experience this author for the first time.
It took almost two chapters for me to connect with this book, but oooohhhhh, when I did, I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between El and Quincy could be felt through the pages. The emotions they held within made me what to see how they happened. The case that brought them together provided the action that I needed.
Plus, it was definitely nice to see Damien and Ryan again. I missed them. 🙂
Definitely a good book 1 to this series. Recommend this book to everyone! Thank you JK!! You are amazing!
Eliza met Quincy and they shared some fantastic weeks together. She felt in love and suddenly he was gone. He brooke her heart when he just disappeared and for a long time she hated him but now he is the only people that can help her find her missing sister. Can she forgive him and can they find love agin ? This is the first book in the stark security trilogy and I loved it. It was filled with action from the beginning till the end. It was sad, but also filled with love and hope. I couldn’t put it down and the end oh my … I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Shattered With You is the first book in this author’s new Stark Security. I always love it when I find out that this author has a new book coming out because I just know that I am going to love it! This book is the perfect example of why I love them so much, it has everything from danger, regret, and a love so powerful it can overcome even the most daunting of situations. This is a book that will bring you on a wild ride of emotions and for me I wasn’t able to stop reading.
This book has Eliza and Quincy reuniting after four long and lonely years and unfortunately it is not under the best of circumstances. Now more than their feelings are on the line and they must fight the past and the present…but can they survive it?
This should be a definite must read if you are looking for a book to get lost in.

SHATTERED WITH YOU” by J. Kenner is book 1 in the Stark Security Series. This is Quincy Radcliffe and Eliza Tucker’s story. Theirs is a 2nd chance at love romance story. Quincy and Eliza meet in London years ago. They fell heads over heels in love and seemed like things were going great yet Quincy up and disappeared on her without a hint he was ever coming back for her. Eliza was completely destroyed. 4 years later, they are reunited in the craziest way possible and their 2nd chance at romance will have you rooting for Quincy and Eliza. This has a rawness to the story for there is such angst . The two main characters are broken souls in their own way…. Quincy is such a British alpha male, Eliza is a sweetheart with a heart of gold and OMG, the heat in the read…yas!! I loved every heart pounding moment and cant wait for book 2 which is Denny and Mason’s story next!!!!
My Rating: 4.5 stars ******
Wow! I can’t get enough of the new Stark security group! I have been a Niki and Damien fan for years. I have read all the Stark world books and this may be my favorite spin off book. Quincy was in the Sin books as well as the last couple of Nicki and Damien books. This book gives you a closer look into the hot British intelligence officer. It is fast pace mystery-romance and I could not stop reading once I started. I absolutely love the way Julie gives us little glimpses of some of our favorite characters as well. This book can be read if you haven’t read any of the other Stark world books, but if you haven’t read those books I promise you will want to after this one. Great job Julie Kenner!!!
Second chance love story with a little bit of action and suspense and some steam. Both Eliza and Quincy are looking for missing people when their paths cross and end up joining forces in a race against the bad guys. There are a few flash backs to show character development on how they met an fell in love. The flashbacks in reference to how they met all came from Eliza’s POV, I would have liked to had Quincy’s POV on this. Quincy first appeared in the SIN trilogy as part of Deliverance and he popped up again in very recent Stark Saga novels (and maybe a novella). The author continues the use her popular theme of characters who come from dark places, who use that darkness from within to build walls to protect their hearts. Once Quincy reconnects with Eliza, I love how she pushes to find out what happen, and an apology just want cut it. At times Quincy appears to be a little melodramatic about this darkness, but when it final reveals it self, he’s not being melodramatic at all. I liked Eliza’s character, but there were a couple places in the second half she came off as smug, when that attitude really wasn’t appropriate. Also, has Eliza been wearing pretty much the same clothes the whole time? She goes from a dress, to a tank top and track pants because her dress is ruined, to the track pants and one of Quincy’s shirts because she’s staying with him, but no where else is it mentioned of getting her clothes from her place. For whatever reason this really bothered me.
Loved it! Quincy and Eliza have a shared history. Can they move past their own drama to ensure others are safe? Shattered With You is a fast paced read filled with action, romance and suspense. Many of the Stark players are mentioned and it was fun to read Jamie’s cameo appearance. I definitely laughed out loud.
Julie is clever and this book’s many twists and turns could’ve gone poorly if it weren’t for her carefully worded scenes. She made everything seem so effortless and kept me intrigued from start to finish.
Ahhhh this book kept me on the edge of my seat. My nerves were shot, but at the same time I couldn’t get enough.
“She’ll use him because she has too. She’ll pay any sensual price he demands. But she won’t fall for him again.”
What happens when the man you want to distance yourself the most from is the only one you need to find? When his skills are the only ones you trust?
“He knew me better than any man ever had, and he cut me more deeply than any man ever could.”
This book is so intense. There are scenes that will have you cringing or reading with one eye. They are dark and intense, but you will gain strength and wisdom in the darkness.
“I can’t promise to save you from whatever darkness is inside you—only you can do that. But there are shadows in your eyes, and I want to be the one to bring back some light.”
Once again it was great to a get a glimpse of my favorite past characters…it’s odd to say that, because I swear they are real…I feel I know them so well! I’m looking forward to Broken With You. It sounds like it is going to be heart wrenching to read. But I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a HEA.
Years ago Eliza and Quincy has instant attraction and spent more time between the sheets than out in public, but in a heart beat Quincy disappeared leaving Eliza with more questions than answers. When he sees her across a crowded ballroom the sparks are still there. But she has no idea he is undercover and she has an agenda all on her own. Can the chemistry be denied? Will they work together to save her sister? In the end will they have a second chance at a HEA? This fast paced story had me hooked from the beginning and I also was on the edge of my seat until the very last page. Another great spin-off for the Stark series.
What a fantastic way to start a new series, if Shattered With You is anything to go by Stark Secuurty is going to be one hot successful series. A spin off in the Stark World with new characters to fall in love with and as always a plot that will captivate you with lots of twists and turns along the way.
Quincy a swoon worthy British guy with his own share of secrets, a tortured soul who hides his past well is now working for Stark Security and the last person he expects to see when posing undercover is Eliza the girl he walked away from a few years ago. Eliza is also pretending to be someone else, she is at the event in the hope of finding her sister and Quincy and his team may be her only hope……
This book had me on the edge of my seat as I got lost in Quincy and Eliza’s story, it’s a book full of intrigue, it has twists and turns and it’s a true love story that will take you on a journey as two people actually find themselves whilst looking for others.
Brilliant start to what certainly looks like another Stark World hit
4.5 ! I had no clue what to expect going into this book. I knew that I was a fan of Kenner’s work and love all things Stark so I went for it. This book didn’t disappoint. This story had all you would expect from Kenner, alpha man, broken souls, romance, and throw in so mystery.
Quincy and Eliza meet in London years ago. They fall in love and have this story book romance. Their relationship is pretty big deal because they both have troubled backgrounds and don’t trust easily. Then Quincy disappears and it breaks Eliza’s heart. There paths cross when Eliza is searching for her sister after she goes missing.
This story drew me in and kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved how it kept me guessing what was next! I loved Emma and Eliza’s relationship. The story is not what I expected and not normally what I read but I loved it. If you are looking for a romance that draws you in and keeps you there on the edge of tour seat grab this book!
