A sizzling erotic romance series, perfect for fans of Fifty Shades of Grey and the Crossfire series, from the New York Times bestselling author of the Stark trilogy, of three enigmatic and powerful men, and the striking women who can bring them to their knees.

He is everything I crave, all I desperately want - and he is everything I can't have.

Evan Black embodies my every fantasy. He is brilliant, fierce, and devastatingly handsome. But he is also headstrong, dangerous, and burdened with secrets. My family warned me to stay away, that I could never handle Evan's dark dealings or scarred past. Maybe I should have listened. Maybe I should have run. But our desire is undeniable, and some temptations you just can't fight. And from the moment we touch - the passion between us consuming us both - I know that I will never be the same.

Critic Reviews

Praise for the bestselling Stark trilogy:

PERFECT for fans of Fifty Shades of Grey and Bared to You. Release Me is a powerful and erotic romance novel that is sure to make adult romance readers sweat, sigh and swoon
Release Me sucked me in from the very beginning. I started cheering for the heroine, Nikki Fairchild on the first page... An emotional rollercoaster, full of tenderness, love mystery and...hot sex - Release Me is definitely one you'll want to add to your TBR list
Release Me...just made the top of my list with Damien and Nikki...the way in which J. Kenner tells the story, how vulnerable and real Damien and Nikki feel, makes this story so good, and re-readable many times over
This is deeply sensual and the story packs an emotional punch that I really hadn't expected... If you enjoyed Fifty Shades [and] the Crossfire Books, you're definitely going to enjoy this one. It's compelling, engaging and I was thoroughly engrossed
I will admit, I am in the 'I loved Fifty Shades' camp, but after reading Release Me, Mr Grey only scratches the surface compared to Damien Stark
I couldn't put this book down. I HAD to know what happened next... If you liked Fifty and the
Crossfire series, you will love Release Me
Damien Stark...belongs with some of the greatest fictional characters...what makes Release Me stands out from the crowd is the fact it has such memorable characters...it was good, very good
It is not often when a book is so amazingly well-written that I find it hard to even begin to accurately describe it... I recommend this book to everyone who is interested in a passionate love story
Along with the wave of new erotic romance novels, came this, Release Me by J. Kenner...I really wasn't expecting it to be as mind-blowing as this was. Release Me was SO MUCH MORE EMOTIONAL and DEEP and complex than I was expecting, I loved it...simply amazing
The story is one that will rank up with the Fifty Shades and Crossfire trilogies. I am impatiently awaiting book two! A definite read for those who enjoyed Fifty Shades and Bared to You
Release Me by J. Kenner will undress you and leave you breathless! Kenner's erotic story, brings two souls together, where a love that has been elusive is suddenly craved. The attraction between Damien and Nikki is palpable, they are two strong personalities with past demons to contend with. Release Me gives readers tantalizing pages of sensual delight, leaving us reeling as we journey with this couple and their passions are released. Release Me is a must read...!
J. Kenner has written a sensually seductive storyline that catches your imagination and pulls you in

Wanted by J. Kenner is the first installment in a romantic suspense series that blends mystery, character development, and long-form storytelling. As a first experience with this author’s work, the novel provides a clear introduction to the central characters and the wider narrative framework that continues beyond this book.

The story follows Evan Black and Angelina Raine, two leads whose interactions drive the core plot. Evan is presented as a confident and guarded figure with professional ties that suggest ongoing conflicts outside the main storyline. Angelina’s character evolves over the course of the novel, contributing to the forward momentum of the plot rather than remaining static.

Supporting characters, including Evan’s associates Tyler and Cole, hint at a broader network operating in morally complex spaces. An additional subplot involving a former partner connected to law enforcement adds another layer of tension and helps establish future narrative threads.

The plot moves between personal interactions and external challenges, incorporating elements of suspense and mystery. While the pacing is uneven in the early portion of the book, it stabilizes as the story progresses and becomes more focused on its overarching direction.

The audiobook is narrated by Saffron Martindale. While the narration is clear and consistent, the delivery may feel restrained for some listeners.

Overall, Wanted functions as a foundation for a longer series and sets up characters and conflicts that are clearly intended to continue in subsequent books.
