Tease Me: A Stark International Novel

This book was the exact details that I needed to give me the entire picture of what I previously read. In turn, it’s the only reason I gave it four stars. If you are a part of the J. Kenner fam club and read her newsletters then you have read a heavy percentage of this book. Tease Me provided you the details we desired that the short stories didn’t give us. I always loved Ryan and Jamie almost more than Damien and Nikki 😁. To see their love for each other was what I missed about them.

TEASE ME is the fifth instalment in J. Kenner’s contemporary, adult STARK INTERNATIONAL erotic, romantic suspense series –a spin off from the author’s Stark Sage. This is the continuing story of entertainment reporter Jamie Archer, and her husband Stark Security Chief Ryan Hunter. TEASE ME can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary. NOTE: Portions of Tease Me were originally released as part of the author’s newsletter serial. Tease Me contains additional content and an extended premise. Told from first person perspective (Jamie Archer) and third person ( Ryan Hunter) using present day and memories from the past, TEASE ME follows entertainment reporter Jamie Archer as she sets out to seduce her husband who is on assignment in London, England but everything begins to spiral out of control when a romantic text from a mysterious stranger pulls Ryan away from the woman he loves. Expecting the worse, Jamie struggles with issues of trust only to find herself the victim of an assault that may be connected to Ryan’s current assignment. What ensues is the search for a stranger who represents the biggest failure from Ryan’s past, as Jamie and Ryan come to terms with what happened and why. The relationship between Jamie and Ryan is one of lust and love. Ryan is a Dominant; a man who likes control both in and out of the bedroom. Jamie sets out to surprise her husband but in return is in for the surprise of her life. The secondary and supporting characters include Jamie’s best friend Nikki Stark; as well as security specialist Baxter Carlyle; Gabriella Anderson and William Atkinson. TEASE ME is a story of betrayal, secrets, lies and family; a story of one woman’s love for a man that is threatened by sins of the past. The premise is intense and engaging; the characters are colorful, energetic and passionate; the romance is captivating, erotic and seductive but I struggled with the use of a certain four-letter word. TEASE ME is a wonderful addition to the author’s Stark International and Stark series of books and novellas.

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.
