Poseeme es un libro bastante entretenido, desde mi punto de vista siento que es refrescante leer a un personaje como nikki, que aunque sea una mujer hecha y derecha y le gusta su independencia al mismo tiempo, deja que Damien tenga el control porque así se siente a gusto.
Mientras seguía avanzando con la lectura me di cuenta poco a poco que la escritora (en mi opinión) no sabía que otros conflictos colocar en la trama ya que aproximadamente en las páginas 200 a 311 pude notar que los protagonistas sólo salían a comer, tenían otra escena de sexo, muchas escenas románticas y después como dos pequeñas peleas y volvían a lo mismo.
Con eso dicho, siento que se manejo de manera similar el pasado de Damien, ya que se sintió forzada la historia de su abuso por el hecho de que en el libro anterior de la nada nikki piensa que el fue abusado sin tener tantas "pistas".
Por otra parte, no me gustó el hecho de que haya tantos secretos en la vida de Damien que nos advierten que son peligrosos pero nunca nos revelan nada hasta los últimos 2 o 3 capítulos del libro, eso me dio a pensar que fue una decisión de último momento.
No me quiero quejar tanto de este libro porque que de vez en cuando no te saturen de drama no está mal pero el hecho de no tener una dirección clara en una historia me hizo que le diera esta calificación. Aún así el final si me hizo querer leer el otro a ver que va a pasar con los personajes.

Didn't really enjoy the start, but got through the end pretty quicky! Being persistent was kind of worth it (though I wanted to kick Nikki's ass myself sometimes).

The story by it self was ok… But as I read I kept thinking I’ve read this before. The storyline is very similar to the crossfire series. Damien Stark is a billionaire who runs a global empire. He is damaged. There are hints of sexual abuse when he was younger. Nikki is damaged as well she is a cutter. She likes to inflict self pain to get through intense feelings of hurt/anger. Because cutting and self pain in books seems to be what’s in these days…. *rolls eyes*
Damien opens up to Nikki about more of his abusive past. There is still much we don’t know and a lot of unanswered questions, but you really get to understand his ultimate need for control and power
I liked the fact that it picked right up where it left off and didn’t recap a lot from book 1 release me buttttt…… I wasn’t in love with this book. Don’t get me wrong I liked it a lot better than the first it just didn't do wonderful things for me. Maybe I need book 3 to tie things together. I just felt a lot of loose ends with this one.
The sex was hawt tho! But I do like a little more story with my sex.

Loved it! I think this book made me love this series more. I also love Nikki! She is such a great person. She truly loves Damien and despite everything she wants to be there for him. She also is her own person and knows what she wants. She is not the usual over dramatic and jealous girl that runs away and ignores the guy if they make a mistake. She takes a breathe and thinks about the situation and then believes in Damien regardless. Damien is also amazing and I hope he gets cleared of things. Their relationship is great and I can't wait to read the last book to see how their story ends. Love this series a lot. Did not think I would like it as much but I really like this series.

Sigh. I do not know what to say about this book. I actually really enjoyed the first one (my review) for what it was, a kind of preposterous sexy times book that was much better written and featured much less annoying characters than [b:Fifty Shades of Grey|10818853|Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades, #1)|E.L. James|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1358266215s/10818853.jpg|15732562] or [b:Bared to You|13572249|Bared to You (Crossfire, #1)|Sylvia Day|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1362527033s/13572249.jpg|18973111]. But this sequel? I don't know what happened.
Well, I guess I do know what happened and that was pretty much nothing. Literally nothing happened in this book. They had sex, they went to parties, there were small confrontations, but it just dragged and dragged and dragged. Zzzzzzz.
Then, at the end, the big secret is revealed (don't worry, I won't ruin it) and it's just INSANE. It's like 50 Shades crazy ex-boss sabotaging helicopter insane. And the truth? I didn't even care because I was practically asleep having read the last 95% of the book.
Honestly this book annoyed me far more than 50 Shades (which really annoyed me) because it could have been better. J. Kenner is obviously capable of being a mostly-okay writer and Nicki and Damien could have just continued on having normal people (well, relatively normal people...) problems, not being too annoying, and having really great sex and this would have been a fine book.
But sadly that was not the case. Stop after the first book, this one isn't worth the time or effort.
