I love the Stark world and was thrilled that Jamie and Ryan got another story. I love these two! I do wish that it would have been a longer story, this felt more like a novella to me, but a great read. There is all of the heat I’ve come to expect in a Stark novel with characters that I love. These characters are like coming home to family so I love reconnecting with them. The story is fast paced and well told. Great read!
This is the third book in Jamie and Ryan’s story (Tame Me, Tempt Me, and then Tease Me), and the fifth book in the Stark International Series, a Series in the amazing Stark Saga World. You can read this story as a standalone, but reading Tame Me and Tempt Me will give you more information about Jamie and Ryan’s story. This story has it all! Strong and sizzling chemistry, suspense, intrigue, action, secret, mystery, and twists and turns. Baxter and Gabby are also great characters, and I would love to know more about them. Jamie and Ryan’s story is captivating. I enjoyed it, and I highly recommend this Series.
Ryan Hunter is in London and Jamie has decided after talking to him on the phone she need to fly over there. Ryan is surprised by her and happy to see her, but Ryan thinks his past might have come back to haunt him. Jamie will have a lot of questions when she sees a text from some woman on Ryan’s phone. This is a short and easy to read. There is mystery and romance.
When we first met our heroine, Jamie Archer, she was the “foot loose and fancy free” best friend of Nikki Fairchild Stark (her romance with husband Damien started this awesome series). This story is all about Jamie and her husband, Ryan, who happens to be Damien’s best friend and head of security for Stark International. J. Kenner initially shared this story with us through her newsletter, but she added a lot more details which added depth to this full blown story which includes a mysterious woman from Ryan’s past and a lot of intrigue surrounding her! Absolutely loved seeing a different, challenging side to Jamie and Ryan’s relationship, how they worked through the turmoil, and still enjoyed plenty of sexy time!
It is no surprise that I love J. Kenner’s Stark world. I love everything Stark!!! But seriously, Ryan and Jamie are such a beautiful wonderful (hott…yes, with two T’s!! haha) couple! I love this couple so much. SO much! The trust that they have in each other, the harmony that they exude, it is the epitome of perfection….or is it? We all have a past before our “perfection” but what happens when that past finds us and catches up with us? Ryan and Jamie’s relationship has had some trials and been tested before but this time it’s a whole new unexpected turn and it will grip you from the start!
Tease Me is an outstanding book! I always enjoy reading about Ryan and Jamie. This book does not disappoint. You will love their chemistry and the suspense that will keep you in the edge of your seat.
This is the third book in the Stark International Security Series and it is jam packed with drama that will suck any reader in from the beginning. Jamie is Nikki Stark’s best friend and she is married to Ryan who is in charge of Stark Security. Ryan has been away working in London for too long and Jamie feels as if something is off so she makes a plan to surprise him. What at first feels like all systems go turns into a spiraling vortex of doubt, jealousy and mistrust as it seems as if a secret from Ryan’s past is coming into the present. Jamie is frightened of losing the one man that she loves completely and does what she does to protect herself. Ryan is beyond blown away when he receives a text that is like a torpedo to his relationship with his wife. Instead of confronting it head on, he decides to take action first and explain later. However, when he inadvertently leaves his cell phone at the hotel, Jamie is not thrilled to see the text. Are all of her fears coming true? Will Jamie give Ryan the opportunity to explain or will it be too little too late? Heat, twists and turns and all-encompassing, this is one storyline that is not to be missed as it is another exceptional addition to the phenomena that is Stark World. I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
I fell in love with Ryan and Jamie ever since Julie introduced us in Release Me through Damien and Nikki’s story. The love of these two has been full of emotional obstacles through trust issues that Jamie has had with herself. And in Tease Me, Jamie and Ryan have a obstacle from Ryan’s past, Felicia. Felicia is a part of Ryan’s past he never thought he would have to revisit. But with all past and secrets in the Stark World there comes danger. Ryan is so commanding and protective when it comes to Jamie and the ones he loves…..which I absolutely love. Jamie pulls on my heart because she feels things with full force and when it comes to Ryan she’s willing to do anything.
Love any book that is written by J. Kenner. With Ryan and Jamie their love is amazing but when Ryan is sent to London and his past cross. Jamie missing Ryan takes a surprise trip but will be able to handle the encounter of Ryan’s past?
Tease Me is the fifth instalment of the Stark International Series and I was excited to be back in the world of romance and suspense and this book was everything I have come to expect from J Kenner, I was drawn straight back into the world I love by the Chief Security Office Ryan Hunter and his wife Jamie Archer’s continuing story. This may be a continuation but it can certainly still be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone because this author does a great job of inserting the important information to make this book flow.
This is a story about love and trust and what happens when the past collides with the present even the strongest bonds get tested when a woman from Ryan’s past appears……
This book ticked all my boxes, it has the perfect mix of love, passion and suspense with strong characters you can’t help loving, if you love the Stark World this is a must read and if you love romance mixed with suspense I highly recommend you pick up this gem.
I loved getting more of these two! It was nice to catch up and get another look into their relationship. Tease Me was steamy, intense, and suspenseful. J. Kenner had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next!
“I couldn’t stand to lose you.”
“You can’t lose me. We’re two halves of a whole. Don’t you know that?”
“I do. But tonight, I need a reminder.”
Oh, how I love these two. I wish all relationships could be this loving, secure, and HOT!
Jamie senses something is off. Ryan seems distracted and distant. With him an ocean away on a job, there’s only one thing for her to do. Hop a plane and fix this. What starts out as a plan to rekindle what she perceives to be waning, quickly turns into a vortex of jealousy, secrets, lies, confusion, danger, and very possibly the destruction of all she holds dear. She thought she was losing Ryan before, but now, she may not have a choice.
Ryan never expected that text. How could it be her? He thought he had closed the door on that chapter of his life, and marked it with a sign that said “Failure”. He knows he needs to tell Jamie but he needs to figure out if this is real, or something else. Could her return ruin everything? Is this person really who she says she is? If she is, his whole world is going to unravel. With danger surrounding this whole situation, can he keep both of the women in his life safe, or will his history repeat itself?
I can tell you this – Ryan is my new favorite man. He’s so loving, and commanding , and sexy, and GAH, just a hunk!! Jamie is so strong. I’ll tell ya, I’m not sure I would have been as strong and understanding as she was if I were in that situation. My man would have been hurting in a very sensitive area, if you catch my drift. But, these two were made for each other, and nothing, I mean nothing, is going to tear them apart.
This was a great read and a wonderful addition to the Stark world!!
Jamie and Ryan’s story is super steamy, suspenseful and mysterious. Twists and turns and unexpected revelations keep you turning the pages. I love Jamie and Ryan together and their chemistry is off the charts. Another enjoyable read in the Stark world.
This story had wonderful characters. J. Kenner writes amazing stories that make you want to read more and more.
Tease Me grabbed from the first page and didn’t let go. It was filled with action, tense moments and some hot little scenes.
Tease Me: A Stark International Security Novel by J. Kenner. I love every book this author writes and she didn’t disappoint with this one. This book is full of drama, suspense and of course steam. Ryan and Jamie’s love will be pushed to the limits with secrets from the past. This book takes you on a roller coaster ride of intrigue. I loved this book and highly recommend it.
Jamie is a entertainment reporter who is trying to break through in the business. She has an exclusive interview but her husband Ryan is away on business trip so she’s distracted. Ryan is in charge of security and has to fix some issues with system. While he’s away, someone from his past finds him and needs help. Can he help friend and protect his family or us everything going to blow up in his face? How will Jamie react to this person?
Final Score – 4.5 Stars!
Even though Nikki and Damien don’t take center stage and are just mentioned – have little to no actual dialogue – don’t let this one pass you by!
In the thick of things is Nikki’s BFF James, aka Jaime and husband/COS of Stark Enterprises Ryan Hunter and whoa! This one is a doozy folks! Could there be signs of trouble in our fair Jaime’s marriage? Is Ryan straying from our devote BFF? Or is this just a case of miscommunication by our fair Wild Children or is something more sinister lurking?
I enjoyed the hell out of this latest book and dare I say – I loved that it was about Nikki & Damien (although I still love my damaged coupled). It was a breathe of fresh air that revived my lust for this series. I couldn’t put it down the moment! I need answers and was pleasantly satiated with all that was revealed. I did have a moment of worry for my Wild Child Jaime, but in the end … all is well and Ryan came thru – as always.
I’d love to see more books now about Dallas, Sylvie and the rest of the gang to catch up on how they are doing now.
I love going back into Jamie and Ryan. She trips me out, she’s just so out there and crazy. Makes here so much fun! Ryan is more lay back and together they are just perfect.
I enjoyed this book. It’s full of drama mixed with yummy moments. It had me on my edge and glued to what was happening. I most enjoyed the characters and hope for a spin-off from some of them in the future.
As always J Kenner provides great enjoyable reading experiences.
Jamie and Ryan! I do so love this couple. I was excited to dive into this read. Being a part of J. Kenner’s newsletters, I had a glimpse into this story but I knew she turned it into more. And more is what we get with them. This couple is strong. They are sure of themselves and who they are with each other. While things may trip them up occasionally, they are #goals 🙂 Jamie surprises her husband while he’s working away and he’s not the only one surprised. Soon, they’re both wrapped up in a mystery and there’s an air of danger around them. I enjoyed the twists and turns this book had but at the heart of it was the love between them. I couldn’t read this book fast enough and if you’ve also enjoyed Jamie and Ryan, get to reading! If you haven’t read them, you must start at the beginning!
WOWZERS!!! J. Kenner has done it again!!! She’s brought us another amazing story about the people in the Stark world….this one is about Jamie Archer and her husband Ryan Hunter….This story is full of suspense, romance, action, and loving moments….you can’t go wrong with a book byJ. Kenner!!!
