“Kiss me,” he says. “Ride me.”The Stark Trilogy is the whirlwind romance between former youth tennis-pro and self-made multi-billionaire Damien Stark and recent College graduate and former beauty queen Nikki Fairchild.  On the outside they are both strikingly beautiful, but on the inside they are two broken, flawed and tortured souls. This is their story of secrets, painful pasts, revenge, lust, control and surrendering it all for love!Book 1: Release MeBook 2: Claim MeBook 3:  Complete MeBook 3.5:  Take MeIn previous books we followed as Southern belle Nichole Fairchild, Nikki was propositioned by the elusive billionaire entrepreneur and master-of-his-universe, Damien Stark to pose for a nude painting.  Their attraction and connection has been intense and undeniable from the first moment, but much has stood in their way.  They have explored sexual submission and control while maneuvering through haunted pasts, envy, jealousy, deceit, lies and other set-backs all under the watchful eye of the hounding paparazzi.Take Me (book 3.5) picks up 3 months after the ending of book 3.  Damien and Nikki have an important event to plan (read blurb if you want details).  But again they are faced with set-backs; jitters, mishaps, villains and the paparazzi.  Look to Damien to save the day with mind-blowing sex and a firm grip on the situation!HERO: Damien Stark/30 years/Ex-pro teen tennis player – entrepreneur - mogul/multi-billionaire/black hair/amber eye and black eye/dom.Six words to describe Damien Stark: Captivating, intense, ruthless, enigmatic, commanding and unforgettable.“I have no regrets for the past, Nikki. And when I’m with you, the only thing I can see is the future.”HEROINE:  Nichole Fairchild, Nikki/24 years/recent College graduate/former beauty queen/blond hair/green eyes.I was a bit disappointed, after reading the whole trilogy, that Nichole Fairchild, Nikki still hasn’t grown a back-bone.  On the other hand she is a Submissive and towards end she did redeem herself somewhat.  Six words to describe Nikki: Smart, vulnerable, broken, resilient, conflicted and determined.“Pleasure and pain, Damien, and you’re the only one I trust to give me both.”The Stark trilogy has been nothing short of a roller-coaster.  This epilogue/novella, Take Me was the perfect ending to Damien and Nikki’s saga!  Interesting plot!  Compelling and captivating hero, Damien Stark!  Sizzling sex scenes!  A very enjoyable read!“I do, and see him looking not at me, but at the juncture of our bodies. I am watching his face— watching the passion build— and when he moves his gaze and meets my eyes, the storm I see building there nearly does me in.”***Hero rating: 5 starsHeroine rating: 3 starsSex scenes rating: 5 starsSex scenes frequency: 4 starsStoryline concept rating: 4 starsStorytelling skills rating: 4 starsStory ending rating: 4 stars************************************************Overall rating: 4 starsWould I recommend this series: Yes.Would I re-read this series: Maybe later.Would I read future books by this author: Yes.
