Praise for J. Kenner and The Stark Trilogy

“Kenner may very well have cornered the market on sinfully attractive, dominant antiheroes and the women who swoon for them.”—RT Book Reviews

“I love the captivating writing and passionate characters that pull me into every J. Kenner story. The raw intensity and scorching sexy times mixed with an element of intrigue always keep me on the edge of my seat. She’s a must read author for me.” – Gretchen, About that Story

“J. Kenner’s writing is like a fine wine, expertly crafted into a melody of notes that will arouse your senses and warm you to your core. Her sinfully seductive men will command a delicious blush to your cheeks while breathing life into your every
fantasy. The masterful attention to detail is what brings you back again and again, and makes her work top-shelf.”

Hilary S, Bookalicious Babes Blog

Though known primarily for her award-winning and internationally bestselling erotic romances (including the Stark and Most Wanted series) that have reached as high as #2 on the New York Times bestseller list and #1 internationally, JK has been writing full time for over a decade in a variety of genres including paranormal and contemporary romance, “chicklit” suspense, urban fantasy, and paranormal mommy lit.

JK has been praised by Publishers Weekly as an author with a “flair for dialogue and eccentric characterizations” and by RT Bookclub for having “cornered the market on sinfully attractive, dominant antiheroes and the women who swopn for him.” A four time finalist for Romance Writers of America’s prestigious RITA award, JK took home the first RITA trophy awarded in the category of erotic romance in 2014 for her novel, Claim Me (book 2 of her Stark Trilogy).

From the author of the New York Times bestselling Bad Boys novels comes the second book in a dark, sexy contemporary trilogy.

MLeighton-ToughEnough-Cover250pxHe’s a fighter who never loses, but is he tough enough to win her heart?

There was a time when I had everything–a wonderful family, a bright future. Love. But all that was taken away in a single night, torn from me like flesh from bone. Since then, I’ve hidden away in my second-choice job as a makeup artist. But I prefer it that way, actually. I’m comfortable in the shadows, where no one can see my scars.

Kiefer Rogan literally took my breath away the moment I met him. MMA champion-turned-actor, notorious playboy, charming to a fault—he’s everything I vowed to avoid.

But he just wouldn’t stop until I opened up and let him in. Maybe I should’ve tried harder to resist him. Maybe I shouldn’t have fallen in love with him. Because I, of all people, know that everyone has secrets. Scars. And that they’re usually ugly and painful and destructive to the people we love most.

I just never guessed that they could be deadly, too.

Green my reveiw

Rogan is a tough actor, fighter and former military secret ops fighter. He has many secrets from his past that make him the man he his. He has a brother, Kyle, who carries some baggage around causing him to be spiteful and angry with life. Katie also has secrets, more like skeletons, that will come back to haunt her.

Katie is a make-up artist working on the set of a movie Rogan is filming. Every morning, Katie must make him more beautiful than he already is. She feels the spark between them but is very cautious to allow her self to “feel” or want anything more. She is protective of herself, after all, her past has been very cruel to her. Rogan is determined to get to know her better and thank goodness he doesn’t give up. But are the many, many demons between them too much for them to deal with? Not to mention Rogan could be the next marked man in his special ops group. Who holds all the cards making Rogan be a puppet to his needs?

This story was very interesting, a fresh topic and conflict, one that I don’t come across often. The characters were developed well, leaving me to want to know more and more as I read. Surprised at the climax of the special ops conflict. I enjoyed the resolution though. I appreciated Rogan’s determination and felt empathy for Katie’s suffering. I definitely felt many emotions in this book as the story came to a climax with the fighting and special ops story lines. I like how the chapters alternate between characters, I enjoy hearing both perspectives in a story. Nicely written, one I would recommend to others. Rogan and Katie’s story is a wonderful heartbreaking tale of determination and perseverance.
