This book was deliciously hot! I enjoyed how Emma and Antonio had similar goals. Neither of them had great upbringings, so it was surprising to them that they had similarities to such horrible things. But, it lead them to their jobs today and the skill set they each had. Antonio needed backup on a mission he was doing. Emma fit that role perfectly. Could it be helped they were going to be in such sexy conditions?! When in Rome … I enjoyed how this couple pushed each other and understood each other more than most people. They had that immediate connection and chemistry and they were able to mix business with pleasure. I was wrapped up in this story and I loved the element of danger that lurked, as well as the building relationship between them. I didn’t want to put this book down!
Very rarely does Ms Kenner disappoint and this is no different. Even though both Tony and Emma think they were never meant for a relationship with anyone given that both of their childhoods and pasts were horrible. But, maybe that’s why they were surprised to find themselves so compatible and involved so fast. They shared common enemies and wanted the same endings. I liked that Emma was so self sufficient and strong. Looking forward to Winston’s story.
Antonio has always worked along but this is too important to not follow the rules. He’s finally found the man he’s been hunting for years but he needs to call in a favor. That’s where Emma comes in but she’s not one to be seen as just a pretty face. Antonio has always wanted to be single but will Emma change his mind? Will Antonio be able to end the hunt?
When I started reading I couldn’t put it down.J. Kenner is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can’t wait for the next book
Wrecked With You by J. Kenner is book 4 in the Stark Security Series. This is the story of Emma Tucker and Antonio Santos. I have read the previous books which added to my enjoyment of this book. But I did feel it could be a standalone book if you wish to do so. Antonio family was killed and he was taken but now in his present day he is seeking revenge. Antonio has a lead but he needs a partner..a women to get closer to the information. Emma is that women that is called in to be his ‘arm candy’ but she is so much more as he is learning. Emma is a very well trained and deadly women who is looking for that same person. When they start working together they start to find that they make a great team but more than that their passion is burns hot. Loved this book along with the author’s writing.
Another amazing Stark Security story!!
Tony and Emma are both badass who fight the tough fight. A potential informant leads them to partner up as a team. Once together their chemistry takes over everything changes. Another amazing Stark Security story that you won’t be able to put down.
A MUST READ!!!
Wrecked With You and the entire Stark Security series is a must read for three solid reasons. First, the kickass and feisty heroines. Second, the badass alphas with mad skillset. Third and most important, a fascinating storyline that is an impossibly perfect mix of steam, action and good old romance.
Emma and Tony both are lone wolves. They have special skills as PI or special op. But they have a shared goal right now. To track the hideous and vile person named The Serpent. The person who was instrumental in destroying their lives in different ways. So they partner under Stark Security Agency and embark on an undercover mission to an exclusive sex island to follow a lead. They are determined not to let their magnetic attraction interfere and distract. But it’s proving to be difficult.
Emma is my hero. This woman is such a fierce force! She had a traumatic early life and slipped into role of protector for her sister since beginning. She has seen and done some extreme things. She is rough, unapologetically honest and ruthless in field. And she has this vulnerable heart craving for someone special to love yet scared to commit. Tony obliterated her fear. He has his own demons but he battled against Emma’s too. He is positively sinful and so alpha in true J.Kenner style! The story is action packed for sure but holy hotness, the sexy quotient was so high! J.Kenner packed so much heat and just the right amount of angst in this fast paced read.
Wrecked With You will give you a taste of everything best of J. Kenner. The unforgettable characters. The intriguing storyline. The breathtaking emotions and passion. An unputdownable read.
Received ARC for honest review
Overall Grade:
Wrecked With You is the latest book from J. Kenner’s Stark Universe, and it will keep you reading to the last page. Since her first book in the Stark Security series, I’ve been hooked. There is this commonality between these books in that the heroes and heroines have something missing in their lives. They have generally devoted themselves to revenge or living singularly for their jobs. Quite frankly, they are all lonely. Until that time that they find their “better half.” Wrecked With You is no different.
This story follows Antonio Sanchez and Emma Tucker (Eliza’s sister – Shattered with You). These two are “lone wolf” types. Antonio has spent much of his life looking for the man responsible for killing his mother and uncle, while Emma has worked to take down the men responsible for the difficulties of her and her sister’s childhood. Damien Stark wants Emma and Antonion for his SSA team, but both of them worry that it will take away the freedom of choice they have to seek out their revenge. When Antonio receives a tip on finally finding The Serpent, he enlists Damien’s help outside of the SSA. Damien suggests Emma as his partner. From first sight, Emma and Antonio are drawn to each other. What begins as an initial physical attraction becomes deeper as these two recognize the similarities of their pasts. For the first time, Emma believes she has found someone in Antonio who can truly understand her. Unfortunately, their lives become complicated when Antonio finds out something about his past, and this threatens to derail their burgeoning relationship. Is it possible for these two loners to find their happy ending?
What Kenner does so well with her Stark brand of romance is marry the suspense with the steam. Wrecked With You is more of this, and it’s what we love about her books. I sometimes think she does the suspense parts of her story, though, better than building the romantic relationships. She definitely writes the steam well in this one, always pushing a little further than the average romance. Yet, even though you might have to suspend your disbelief for the romance for this one (Antonio makes a quick change of mind that seemed like more a need to end the story than organic to the chronology), the suspense, SSA parts, are compelling. And like her other Stark Security books, we are treated to cameos from past characters in the other books. This is what Kenner does very well. I think she knows that her readers want to stay connected to the Damiens, Ryans, Quincys, Elizas, Dennys, and Liams of her world. Every time we enter her books, she invites us back to a place where we feel at home in her romance. And that is her power as a writer of romance.
Overall, Wrecked With You is THE perfect beach read. It moves fast, it’s a little smutty, and it keeps you engaged to the very last page of the story. As the beaches are opening and summer is on the horizon, this is the perfect time to grab J. Kenner’s Wrecked With You.
Emma is one tough agent. She is full of surprises which makes her the perfect candidate to help Tony with his quest to find The Serpent. Their task is to visit Debauchery, a sex island, to meet an informant. Both Tony and Emma have been focused on their work for years, neither one letting anyone to truly get to know them other than family. From their first encounter, you feel a connection which starts with respect for the work they do. Emma doesn’t make it easy for Tony to recruit her forcing him to get honest. These two definitely know how to steam up the pages as they work to crack this case. But will they find a happily ever after? Or will the secrets Emma carries drive them apart? I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
Can I say HOT! This was one of the sexiest books that I think I’ve read from J Kenner. It was full of instant attraction, lust and sexual connections. Emma was a strong woman. I’m not use to the heroine being that powerful. She was a bad a** that demanded respect throughout the entire book but I loved how the book played on her sensitive side as well. I didn’t give it a full five stars because at some point it seemed like it was so many moving parts that made it hard to follow. Too many unnecessary players and I believe served no purpose. Other than that, it was a great read and a page turner. And of course it was amazing to see Damien again
First off I need to say I’m loving everything about the world of Stark Security, it’s a series that’s getting better with each new release and Emma Tucker and Antonio(Tony) Santos’s story is the perfect addition to this great series.
Emma and Tony are not looking for a relationship their jobs and life style that goes with those jobs are far to important to risk everything for a love but when they find themselves striving for the same means to an end feelings they can’t ignore come into play….
If you love romantic suspense stories Wrecked With You should be at the top of your TBR list, the characters are loveable, the chemistry is sizzling and there are enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. A captivating story that drew me in from the first page and didn’t let me go until I had read the final line, great addition to a great series.
Revenge for a series of events from his youth has led Tony to need the help of Stark Security. Coming to work for them gives him not only access to their tools of the trade but also a new partner in Emma. In order to get information, they must travel to a resort where sex is everywhere and nothing is out of bounds. When the two have to be a “couple” in ever sense of the word wil it be helpful or a hindrance to the end goal? Can the sparks that they feel still be there when the danger is over? J. Kenner takes the reader on a wild and intense ride with another great addition to the Stark World. I cannot wait for more in the series.
This has it all. There’s plenty of action, incredibly detailed sexy time, a bit of humor and lots of romance.
The Stark Security series are filled with outstanding characters and keep me entertained. J Kenner has a unique way of bringing all her characters together without making the books overbearing to read. That’s not easy.
A cute epilogue with a tiny cliffhanger for what’s to come next!
A good addition to the Stark series, brining in new characters to add to the expanding family. Emma and Tony are engaging and driven, both pursuing ghosts from their pasts. I enjoyed this book, but must admit to hoping for slightly more grit to the story and maybe a bit more tension. That said, a good, quick read.
5 Star Review Wrecked With You (Stark Security #4) by J Kenner
In my opinion, this series is getting better and better. This is Stark Security agent Emma Tucker and Antonio (Tony) Santos’s story. Tony is a man who never gives up, determined to do whatever it takes to get revenge on the man who murdered his mother, his uncle and kidnapped him as a child.
I really loved the characters of Tony and Emma and as with previous books from Ms. Kenner the secondary characters were just as engaging. Neither Emma or Tony are looking for a relationship but when an assignment has them partnering up they cannot ignore the chemistry that sizzles between them.
I love romantic suspense stories and this one was particularly good. Wrecked With You is a well written, fast paced, full of suspense, passionate story that had me riveted from the first to the last chapter.
A broken hero and a broken heroine out for revenge. Wrecked With You is full of explosive chemistry and suspense.
Emma, who has been briefly mentioned Shattered With You, is pretty BA. She is tough, especially when you learn more of her story and her past. She is smart and can definitely hold her own. Tony hasn’t had the easiest life, but he’s worked hard to get where he is. He needs a partner, specifically a female partner for his next mission, so he calls a favor with Damien.
Emma and Tony are forced to work together, however, their mission forces them to be close, very very close. Everything was supposed to be temporary, but the more they get to know each other, the more they both realize this isn’t just a temporary thing. When chemistry is as explosive as Tony and Emma’s you know there will never get enough of each other.
It was so easy to get lost in not only Emma and Tony’s relationship, but also the suspense of the story and their mission. It was intense at times and definitely will have you on the edge of your seat. Plus, it is always great to get more of the rest of the Stark Security crew that has been previously introduced.
I’m dying for the next book already after getting little hints throughout this one. Wrecked With You is a MUST READ!
