Basically, "Take Me" is the perfect Christmas star atop the biggest, fattest, fullest, best decorated Christmas tree ever that is the Stark Trilogy.


Yes, I just compared "Take Me" to frigging Christmas. That's how serious I am about this. Really.

I was lucky enough to get to beta this for Julie and loved every minute of it (of which there weren't many because I couldn't put it down, ahem).

The novella centers around Damien Stark and Nikki Fairchild's impending nuptials and the sequence of events leading up to them. Wedding planning, bachelorette and bachelor parties, wedding dress debacles, cake tasting, all with a sexy twist that no one but Julie Kenner can pull off while making you giggle in between gasps at the hotness of it all.



And yet Damien makes no move to satisfy me. He is content to tease and torment, and as he slowly traces the shape of my navel with the tip of his tongue, I moan in both pleasure and frustration.
“You like that?” he asks.
“Yes,” I murmur.
“So do I.” His voice is low and reverent. “You taste like candy.” “Candy is bad for you,” I tease.
“In that case,” he says with a low growl, “I like being bad."



I don't know how she manages to do it, but Julie ends this series (and along the way she introduces us to our next book boyfriend, Wanted's Evan Black) perfectly.

I wasn't sure how I felt about a couple like Nikki and Damien involved in a marriage-themed novella, but Julie pulled it off seamlessly.

So go ahead, give yourself an (really frigging sexy) early Christmas present and just click order already, okay? Okay then.
