Antonio and Emma.
We already met both in previous stories…but you can read this one as a complete standalone.
BUT .. as a huge Stark World Fan, I would suggest you start with the very first Damien & Nikki book from what feels like decades ago. LOL → Release Me!
Antonio and Emma are not yet working for the Stark Security Company, but Ryan and Damien want them both. But for now they’re on their own for one very sexy and dangerous job.
Tony finally found a trace for this one guy he’s been looking for since his family was killed. And the person who has the info will give it to him on a private sex island!
Emma joins Tony because guys can’t stay on that island on their own. Plus – Emma is also secretly looking for that same bad guy – also for personal reasons.
Let the fun times begin!
What will happen with Emma & Tony?
Will there be a happily ever after?
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT!
This was an adorable and verry erotic fourth book in this series!
Lots of exciting and verry sexy islandy moments.
To not make it all sexy and fun we of course have sad and heartbreaking things in our darlings’ past …
And we need to make sure we’re all alive to enjoy our happily ever after!
I just wish these books were a tiny little bit longer – with more detail and more falling in love and more Damien – LOL! But I still really enjoy reading this series – can’t wait to read the next one – we were already teasered a bit in this one!
WRECKED WITH YOU was an exciting & verry sexy love story! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Tony – this one is MINE!
“Because whether I want him to or not, there’s no denying that this man is growing on me.”
This suspense lovin’ girl is totally addicted to those sexy Stark Security badasses. Not only because they are dangerous and delicious but also because they are damaged. They each have a painful past and a story that pulls my heartstrings and gets me fired up and ready to join the team and beat some bad guy butt right along with them.
Tony and Emma are thrown together to follow a lead that might finally be the break that is needed to catch up with the evil that he’s been chasing for years. Neither of them is looking for a relationship, but since they are going undercover at an exclusive private island they kinda have to participate in some of the…uh…um…activities, right? That shouldn’t be too hard for either of them because—excuse me, I almost dropped my Kindle—their chemistry, their connection, let’s just say those two within touching distance is EXPLOSIVE!
As I got to know them, and they got to know each other, the idea of them walking away from each other at the end of this mission had me all kinds of upset just thinking about it. I got so caught up in the case and totally invested in the outcome. On the edge of my seat anxious and excited.
I love this series and enjoy catching up with other members of the team in each installment. And the wicked wordsmith, J. Kenner, teased me mercilessly by giving me a glimpse of what’s coming next and I’m so impatient to get my hands on it. The line forms here…
Gritty plot, both characters have pasts that were nasty to say the least, Emma’s we already know a little of. Now though it seems maybe there is more. Mystery, suspense and intrigue along with good old fashioned sleuthing all combine to solve this one but it also includes some steamy sexual content. Gripping page turner. Started 31/3/21 finished 31/3/21
Sexy and suspenseful, those are two words that would absolutely describe this book! I absolutely adore J Kenner’s Stark universe and this addition did not disappoint. Tony and Emma were hot, hot, hot and the suspense and mystery surrounding them pulls you to the edge of your seat and keeps you there.
J. Kenner delivers another great book‼‼‼ In keeping with true “Stark” fashion, this book has everything! Kenner takes the reader on a thrilling, adventurous, sexual journey with ALLLLL THE FEELS‼‼‼The suspense & drama are strong and exciting. Once I started reading it became a page-turner and I could not put it down. Tony & Emma Will Rock your literary world. A highly recommended read and worth every minute of your time. Bravo Julie KennerAGAIN‼‼‼
Sexy spies, sin & suspense! The book started off with a bang and I found Emma Tucker to be one of the one of the most exciting heroine’s I’ve read in a long time- fearless & fun but also smart & dangerous. I loved that she had the audacity to tell off Damien Stark when she felt he had only hired her as eye candy instead of for her very real & deadly skills. Ultimately partnered with lone wolf Tony Santos, they set off on a decadent mission, at risk of losing not only their hearts but also their lives.
Wrecked With You (Stark Security #4) is a great sexy suspenseful read by J. Kenner. Antonio and Emma’s story is full of betrayal, revenge, with some erotic fun. I loved this book and highly recommend it!!
This is Book 4 in the Stark Security Series.
This is the story of Antonio (Tony) & Emma. Tony works on his own. He has a lot of years invested in finding a killer. He is on the hunt for someone who killed the people in his life. He has a lead, but he needs a woman to go with him, so he asks Damien Stark for one of his in the firm. Emma just started work for Stark Security. Her and her sister lived a hard life, but she got involved with missions and was a PI. She is assigned to go with Tony. Even though this was a very serious mission, and a personal one on both their parts, there was humor between the two of them. It was refreshing to read. Emma is holding back one big secret, but it’s not her story to tell. They have a very strong attraction between them, but neither wants to acknowledge it at the beginning. There is mystery, suspense, action, banter and love. What I love about this series, is all the characters are always in it and interact as a team. The writing is always superb. I loved this series. I can’t wait to read Winston’s story.
Final Score – 4 Stars!
I had been waiting for Antonio’s story since he recused Nikki … now still left with a sense of anticipation. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy the book – far from it – I just don’t know, I have a sense that there is more to his story. We only ever got bits and pieces. I want the FULL details. I don’t feel like I got them.
Emma background is just heartbreaking! I almost couldn’t get thru reading it, but then I realized that we weren’t going to get the full details of what happened to her and for the first time – I was thankful for that. I don’t think I could have finished this book if I had.
So, it made sense that these two were signed on to SSA and assigned to work together. From their first meeting, Tony was intrigued and Emma was just pissed to be used for her looks and not her talent. I so adored the way she dressed Damien down in spectacular fashion.
There were so many twists and turns, if you didn’t pay close attention you could become lost – which is why I said I felt like I was missing something and still do. And lets not forget about Debauchery Island – if such a place exists, I’m putting it on my #bucketlist. The book a fast and hot ride/read. However, the missing details are what continue to have me scratching my head. I may need to re-read this again to make sure I didn’t miss something – perhaps I did – but thus my rating.
Wrecked With You is my favorite in the Stark Security series so far. Tony and Emma had great chemistry. Sexy and suspenseful, I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for Winston’s story next.
5 Let the Games Begin Stars!!!
There’s nothing I love more than a Julie Kenner book and when it’s on this mysteriously sexy island I’m completely on board with what’s about to go down!! Emma and Antonio are two people that really aren’t looking for anything more than Antonio’s questions to be answered. And he starts this process with Emma by going to Stark Security to call in a favor.
Emma is a woman that is strong, intelligent, sexy and has skills that are quite impressive. What she doesn’t realize is that she and Antonio may have more in common than they realize and being on this island that really knows how to push beyond a person’s boundaries. There’s no way she and Antonio can avoid the fire that is simmering between them.
This book moves at a lightening pace and there’s truths to be revealed….but is it the truth that Antonio is looking for? And how will these answers affect the rest of his life…will he be able to find a peace that’s been so elusive for him to find?
Ms. Kenner will give you all the answers plus a story that has you fanning yourself because this island is undeniably HOT!!! I loved bringing these characters that we’ve met in previous books and I’m looking forward to seeing them again!!
Oh how I am obsesses with the Stark Security series. This one is about Emma and Tony ..queue the *Sigh*. I totally swooned over Tony and even though I loved all of the books previously, I am “Wrecked” over Wrecked with You. Yeah I totally went there!
I knew instantly that this job was going to get personal between Emma and Tony. And you know what happens? A lot lol. Yeah I am going to leave out the spoilers.
Kenner gives her characters heart of gold even if they cannot see if for themselves. Tony has flaws, and does not see himself as anything else. Emma has a couple of hangups. What I loved was that these two brought the best out of each other!
OHMIGOSH! I am so in love with this book! Julie did an amazing job of drawing me in with the suspense and needing (NEEDING) to know how Antonio & Emma will get their revenge on the Serpent! I loved every moment of the intrigue, and when they could no longer ignore their chemistry…WHEW!
This whole series has been absolutely amazing & I already want to go back and read it again! FIVE STARS!
PS- Did I mention that I really loved this book?
Oh how I love J.Kenner and the Stark Security series! This time it’s Emma and Antonio’s story, and boy is this a couple with a lot of chemistry. J.Kenner knows how to write steamy, suspense filled, and well written books, and this book is no exception. Loved the premise of the story, and boy did these two fall hard and fast for each other. Loved the regular players in the Stark books coming into play in this story, especially Quince and Denny. Quick read because the story flows so well, jammed packed with lots of the hot and steamy love scenes you learn to expect from this author, really enjoyed this book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.
This is the fourth book in the amazing Stark Security Series, an erotic romantic suspense. Wow! I loved it! Tony and Emma’s story is suspenseful. They both are strong and smart characters, and they share a sizzling hot chemistry. They are perfect together! They are seeking for revenge, and they teamed up for it. The storyline is fun, sexy/hot, suspenseful, action packed, and filled with secrets. I like this Series with interconnected characters. If you like you romantic suspense spicy, this one if for you! Looking forward to read the next book in the Series, Destroyed With You!
WRECKED WITH YOU is the fourth instalment J.Kenner’s contemporary, adult STARK SECURITY erotic, romantic suspense series –a spin off from the author’s numerous STARK series. This is former Deliverance operative Antonio Santos, and former Sensitive Operations Command operator Emma Tucker’s story line. WRECKED WITH YOU can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.
Told from first person perspective (Emma) and third person (Antonio) WRECKED WITH YOU follows Antonio Santos as he hunts for the man known only as The Serpent. Intel from the dark web directing Antonio to the excusive Debauchery Resort finds Antonio calling in a favor from Damien Stark, a favor that pairs him up with independent operative Emma Tucker, an agent whose current target is The Serpent as well. In order for Antonio to access the high-end sex club, he is going to need a female partner, and that partner is going to be Emma Tucker. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between Emma and Antonio, and the potential fall-out as Antonio gets some news that forces him to walk away from the woman with whom he is falling in love.
Antonio Santos doesn’t do relationships and he is currently all about taking down the man that destroyed his life. The Serpent’s true identity is unknown but to only a few, and with this Antonio is desperate to locate the man before he does any more harm. Emma Tucker’s earlier years were fraught with abuse and neglect. On the run with her younger sister for most of their lives, Emma did everything necessary to protect her sister from facing a future like Emma had endured.
The relationship between Emma and Antonio is one of immediate attraction but Emma refuses to work with a partner including Antonio Santos. Hoping to join the Stark Security Organization Emma believes she has blown her chance when she balks at a partnership with Antonio, telling Damien Stark to ‘go to hell’. Working together, as a couple, at the Debauchery Resort, Emma finds herself falling for Antonio Santos, a man who struggles with Emma’s true intent. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense. There are a few scenes of ‘foreplay’ using multiple partners and sexual situations.
The secondary and supporting characters include Emma’s sister Eliza and her mate Quincy Radcliffe (Shattered With You #1), and Denny and Mason (Broken with You #2), as well as the Stark Security Team including Ryan and Jamie Hunter, Cass Cunningham, and Nikki and Damien Stark. There are several couples and characters we meet at the Debauchery Club including Antonio’s informant The-Asst.
WRECKED WITH YOU is a story of betrayal, revenge, family and love; of desperation and retaliation; of erotic fun and ‘sexual debauchery’. The fast paced premise is engaging and captivating: the characters are colorful, energetic and animated; the romance is decadent and hot.
Love the web that J Kenner can weave with all of the Stark Security characters!
Emma has just put an end to a personal vendetta and has been offered a position at SSA. Instead she ends up partnerIng up with Antonio (Tony) on a mission to find The Serpent. Wrecked With You takes you on a wild ride that includes murder, mystery and a lot of steamy sex.
Wrecked With You is a super steamy, action packed, suspenseful romance that keeps you turning the pages. Love this series and the Stark world. Antonio and Emma are perfect for each other. Looking forward to more books in the series.
I have loved the Stark Security series from J Kenner and this one is a great addition to this series. I loved the characters Emma and Tony, it was great to have a seriously kicka*s heroine that honestly could hold her own with these tough Security guys.
Emma and Tony are both loners really, both chasing after the same bad guy without knowing it. Now they are joined in a mission to track down the elusive Serpent, the person that had destroyed their lives. This undercover mission involves going to an exclusive sex island, with chemistry that explosive between them they may find something else at the island.
Emma I think fast became one of my favourites. She was fierce and so protective of her sister, she had been most of the lives, protecting her from the darkness that surrounded them. It looks like she met her match in Tony. He awoke feelings in her she never thought she would have or get to experience for herself.
This story is full of action and so much steam. Once you start you will want to read it all. Im looking forward to seeing what she brings us next and Winston’s story.
