About this ebook

From J. Kenner, the New York Times and No. 1 international bestselling author of the million-copy selling Stark series, comes Wicked Torture, a new novel set in the seductive Stark world. For fans of Fifty Shades of Grey, Sylvia Day, Meredith Wild and Jodi Ellen Malpas.

Outwardly, Noah Carter is riding high as the tech world's hottest new genius. Inside, he's still reeling from the abduction of his wife and baby daughter eight years ago, and then the devastating discovery of his child's body. For years, he kept up hope that his wife was alive, but now that she's been declared legally dead, he's thrown himself even more deeply into his work, cutting himself off from emotional ties because they just hurt too damn much.

Then he meets Kiki Porter, an eternal optimist with a killer work ethic and dreams of fronting a band. And everything changes. Even though he tries his damnedest to fight it...

Sexually, they are combustible together. But their true fire is emotional, though it is a slow to burn. But once it lights, it is all consuming. The relationship grows emotionally, the sex is hot, things are good.

But just when it's looking like they might have a real future together, the past comes back to haunt them. And Noah's going to have to decide what he's willing to give up for love...

Spellbinding romance. Electrifying passion. Why not indulge in J. Kenner...

Noah Carter is a broken soul, punishing himself for walking away from the woman he loved. We met Noah in the SIN trilogy, while he was working at Deliverance, the organization specialized in locating kidnap victims. Noah made a choice, but he has paid the price for leaving behind the love of his life, Kimberly Porter. What brings them back together is fate. Kimberly is hired by Damien Stark as a consultant to market a new and innovative listening device Noah has invented. Their reunion is poignant, full of intensity, heartbreak and repressed longing. Noah is so sweet and ready to pick up right where he left off. He is a man on a mission. Kimberly is afraid of getting hurt again. She is understandably wary of Noah, and yet she is deeply moved by his tenderness. What they feel for each other is powerful, intense and unresolved. With dramatic twists and turns, the emotions and feels are off the charts! The writing of this book is excellent, the plot moved swiftly, the character development was on point, and I was hooked right from the very start. This book can be read as a standalone, but as a long-time fan of Julie Kenner’s work, I enjoyed the cameo appearances of well-known characters from the Stark and SIN series. I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it.

Wicked Torture is book 3 in the Stark World Series and what a brilliant addition to a great series, this is a story full of twists, it’s an emotional roller coaster that will blow your mind. Noah and Kiki have a history, a past that tore them apart so how will they react a few years down the line when they met again, will the past win and tear them apart or will true love win the day, is it really their time to find love and happiness. This book is about true love, friendship and loyalty, heartbreak and second changes, it’s beautifully written and it will have you hooked from the very first page, every character in this series is strong and you can’t help falling in love with them. This is a perfect standalone novel within a great series and once again J.Kenner makes you feel like you are part of her Stark World Family, looking forward to more in this series just wondering who’s story we will get next. Loved it, it’s a must read of 2017

Will I ever get tired of reading about the characters in the Stark World? Nope I love these series of books, and the thing is this author makes you feel part of that world. Noah has been letting his past eat away at him, he has never given hope until his wife is pronounced legally dead. But when Kiki comes into his life he is thrown a curveball. Will he continue to let his past get in the way or will he embrace what she is offering and open his heart to love again?
