Perfect for readers of Fifty Shades of Grey and Bared to You, this steamy eBook novella from J. Kenner, bestselling author of Release Me, features powerful billionaire Damien Stark and his wife, Nikki Fairchild, on their impromptu getaway to Las Vegas—and there’s no better place to turn up the heat than in Sin City.
 
I’ve never felt as close to anyone as I have with Damien Stark. I know every line of his body, every secret within his soul. There’s nothing I crave more than his touch, and with his kiss, he seals his claim.
 
Las Vegas is the perfect place for us, where we can indulge every desire and fantasy. But when someone from my past resurfaces, I can’t ignore my instinct that I have to make things right.
 
With Damien by my side, I feel safe no matter the danger. Our passion protects us, drives us, makes us whole. His pleasure is an exquisite game, and one that I’ll play forever.
 
Seduce Me is intended for mature audiences.

Finally a funny short book without a trainwreck going on between them! J. Kenner was really smart with this one because she managed a funny and exciting experience for both of them in Vegas. They play a game where they pretend they don't know each other for three days and have a really good time playing it.
Also, I am loving the fact that Jamie (Nikki's best friend) and Ryan (Damien's head of security) are dating.

Now, on to the next one!

3.5 - 4 ★'s

Another Damien and Nikki novella...this time with Nikki going to Las Vegas with Jamie while her and Damien act out a fantasy. Throw in a little helping an abused friend get away from her abuser and there you have it...all seventy pages worth.

The sex is hot as ever...of course, Damien would never let that be bad. And they are getting along...better than ever. The fantasy was intriguing but I think Damien played his character a little too well.

I did enjoy the part where they helped out Nikki and Jamie's friend from high school. I loved that Nikki is using the resources and money available to her to do good. She doesn't do it as well as Damien...yet.

I have a like/dislike relationship with these novellas. However, I can't not read them.

This was a fun, sexy read! I loved getting that glimpse of the passion that Damien and Nikki share, it was exciting and super seductive. I loved what they were up to and the game they were playing. Deliciously naughty!

Really good, quick story with a nice build. Definitely hot with a small twist of drama. If you've never read J. Kenner before (or met Nikki and Damien), it would be a good introduction with no major spoilers.

A light, entertaining read packed with hotness!

My Review:

Seduce Me was a continued novella between Damien and Nikki. These are one of my favorite couples I have ever read, and I just love getting this mini stories of them together in their HEA. In this novella, Nikki is invited to go on a trope with one of her close friends in Vegas, and both their men follow them and they do some roleplaying being "strangers in Vegas having a fling" and it was quite fun to see these two playing some fun roleplaying game with each other. We also see them work together to rescue a young woman being abused. Seduce Me was a blast of a read and if you have loved seeing this couple together and love a good extended epilogue novella then I recommend this one to you. You can't go wrong here.

Seduce Me

The Characters:

Damien Stark
Nikki Stark

The Story:

We can call this a weekend getaway. Damien is, as usual, beyond romantic. Seriously the things this man says. The run in with Nikki and her former classmate was weird but in the end proves that Nikki is so kind hearted and Damien will do whatever he can to support her and see that even her friends are taken care of.

The Random Thoughts:

This is the fourth Novella in the Stark Trilogy & I'm always excited to read about my #2 favorite book couple ! What can I say about Damien Stark other than he is the total friggin' package ! Damien & Nikki are such an awesome couple, I totally love them both ! In this Novella Damien & Nikki have both been working a lot, him being the successful CEO of his own Company & her getting her newly started business to be a success. Jamie has to go to Vegas for the weekend to interview some people who are attending a Tech Convention & since she only has to work Saturday morning she invites Nikki to go with her. Nikki decides to blow off work & go with Jamie booking them a suite at one of Stark's Hotels so they can be pampered. When they go to the bar that night they see Damien & Ryan sitting at a table & they pretend to not know each other. While Nikki & Damien are in the middle of playing their "game" she runs into an old friend from High School & helps her to escape an abusive relationship.

Quote : DAMIEN TO NIKKI ;
"It's a shame this is a weekend fling, that if you were mine I would hold you close everyday. I would tell you that you are my breath, my life. That you are the thing that gives my life meaning. That makes me whole.

"I'd tell you that I love you, & that I feel you in every beat of my heart & in every breath I take. I bless every sunrise because it marks a new day by your side. And that, is what I would say if you were mine."

" I don't know how you do it, but I love you more each day."

As much as I enjoy the Damien Stark series, featuring Nikki Fairchild, your favourite Hollywood couple, Seduce Me was a little off-putting for me. While the eroticism that punctuates J Kenner's erotica is there, I feel it is too much. (I'm tempted to stop following this couple.) The characters are having/thinking of sex every sentence, every paragraph, and every chapter (almost in every word they say). Damien cannot be near Nikki without her books ballooning and her nipples becoming erect.

Nikki has travelled to the sin city, Las Vegas, and while there, she and Damien take their romance to the next level - they play a game where they are strangers; relieving a new encounter all again. And as it has become their trademark, they end up at it, having sex.

Well, if you want a light read (for under an hour), this is the book to pick.

Cute novella featuring Damien and Nikki and (yay) Jamie.
Jamie and Nikki are off to Vegas for Jamie's work - girls weekend with no boys... Or so they think!
Nikki and Damien play a little "I don't know you" game in Vegas.
I love these books and characters but am greedy and want more. Quick read - I was able to read at the gym during cardio.

Overview

Perfect for readers of Fifty Shades of Grey and Bared to You, this steamy eBook novella from J. Kenner, bestselling author of Release Me, features powerful billionaire Damien Stark and his wife, Nikki Fairchild, on their impromptu getaway to Las Vegas—and there’s no better place to turn up the heat than in Sin City.

I’ve never felt as close to anyone as I have with Damien Stark. I know every line of his body, every secret within his soul. There’s nothing I crave more than his touch, and with his kiss, he seals his claim.

Las Vegas is the perfect place for us, where we can indulge every desire and fantasy. But when someone from my past resurfaces, I can’t ignore my instinct that I have to make things right.

With Damien by my side, I feel safe no matter the danger. Our passion protects us, drives us, makes us whole. His pleasure is an exquisite game, and one that I’ll play forever.

My Thoughts

I love the Stark Trilogy and i think that it's exactly what i needed - a little snippet of fun to continue Nikki and Damien's story. In this novella, Nikki has been invited to Vegas with Jamie who's got a short term reporting gig for a tech show, and what happens there is quite enjoyable.

The first night that the girls are there, they decide that since they are both quite happy in their respective relationships, they will indulge in a bit of sexting an teasing - just to make things all that much better upon their return home. What they don't expect is what appears in the background of a selfie that they are sending home to their men - 2 gorgeous guys in the background who have motives of their own.

For Jamie, well, the game turns to reality quickly as she finds Ryan, her boyfriend there and they just enjoy themselves as they normally would. For Nikki however, it's a game that she's going to hold up all weekend, pretending to be single and playing the game with Damien just because she can.

It's really sweet actually to see how our lovely author shows us that even though these 2 are married, they are still playful and really passionate for one another.

On top of that though, we have to have a bit of tension - there's a woman that Nikki thinks that she sees over and over again, and recognizes but can't quite put her finger on it. That's the bit of intrigue that we have here. Who's the woman, what's the situation and what will it mean for Nikki and Damien. Since we know that this is a novella, it's not like we're going to get all that deep, and it's not going to be all that drastic, but at least it gives us another layer to the story that J Kenner is known for.

Great companion book to the Stark Trilogy Series!

It was wonderful catching up with Damien and Nikki and get another peek into Mr. and Mrs. Stark's married life. The chemistry is still in full force between them. Their bond and love are unbreakable. They are one of my favorite couples to read and I love them to pieces.

J. Kenner is an amazing writer and fills each page with sensual emotions.

This book is a short read but just enough to quench your craving.
If you haven't read the series, then start with Release Me (Stark Trilogy, #1). You won't be disappointed!

Let the seduction begin! Who doesn't love a little role play in their marriage? Damien and Nikki are experts at playing the part, playing hard to get and playing to win. A little Vegas trip sets the stage for their charade but when a person from Nikki's past makes an appearance, the curtains swing closed.

Kenner gives us more of the Starks who we so desperately love and a little bit of drama that the story needs. I was satisfied, seduced and warmed right back up. Damien can play with me - anytime, anywhere. This novella is fun and playful and incredibly erotic. loved!

Teasingly delicious. Damien and Nikki are crazy busy but sometimes playing hooky can be fun. A weekend trip to Vegas, separately, can cause sparks to fly and sexy time to be ramped up. Will Nikki allow her chasing game with Damien to interfere with helping an old friend? Will Damien keep Nikki satisfied? Seduce Me is a great read.

Awesome
Loved Nikki & Damien from the beginning with their hot and spicy romance. This was a great tease for me never wanting their story to end, at some point I hope a child come into the picture and see how they would react with that little bomb shell. Watching their role play was hot and romantic.

Another great novella on one if my favorite couples to read. We see Damien and Nikki in Vegas having fun trying to seduce each other, but when a friend from Nikki's past shows up and Nikki tries to help her, it's Damien who is able to step in and handle it like only Damien Stark can do.

Mixing Fantasy and Reality

Damien Stark continues to prove why he's my number one BBF. I mean, the things this man does.... *sigh*

I love Nikki Fairchild Stark's weekend jaunt with her bestie, Jamie. It gives Nikki and Damien an opportunity to indulge in some role playing that is sweet, spicy, and all things I love about them.

I think it is because he has so thoroughly claimed me that there is never a moment when I am not blissfully and totally aware of him.
-- Nikki Fairchild Stark

I like that Damien and Nikki are secondary characters to the drama that unfolds. Do I love that they selflessly step in to help another? Absolutely! But, I also love that they aren't in the center of it. It's a refreshing change of pace.

I read along with the audio book. The narrator, Sofia Willingham, continues to deliver quality narration for Nikki. 🎧❤️🎧

Nikki goes with Jamie to Vegas for a tech convention. As they sit in the bar, they take a selfie. Looking at it, Jamie sees Damien and Ryan sitting at a table behind them. They all start playing a game like the men are there to pick up women. Damien sends them drinks and just nods. Ryan comes and asks Jamie if he’s seen her on television. Damien tries to get Nikki to go to dinner with him but she pays the tab and leaves. He follows her and says he doesn’t like to hear no. She says she’s not a woman who says yes easily. He says he likes a challenge.
