I was given a free copy of this book by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is the end of the series for Sylvia and Jackson :( This was a great series. Why did I wait so long to read it?
The drama was top notch. Just when you think it's all good, something threw a wrench into it. I loved how it ended. The heat between Sylvia and Jackson was great too.
I can't wait to go read the original Stark Series and Wanted series. These books have got me hooked.

I think I might like this series better than [b:The Stark Trilogy 3-Book Bundle|22384553|The Stark Trilogy 3-Book Bundle (Stark Trilogy, #1-3)|J. Kenner|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1401584733s/22384553.jpg|41801115] (though that series will always hold a place in my heart). Okay back to this series. It seems to have just about everything I love in a series. It was exciting, thrilling, and unpredictable. At times it was bittersweet and in others it was heartbreaking. But in the end it was perfect.

Thanks Wicked Reads for a copy to read and review.
Wow, amazing finale. Jackson and Sylvia played this one out till the very end. I don't like spoilers but this book ends everything very tidy and neat. They go back and forth about how to handle Ronnie, Jacksons love child. The murder investigation was crazy but if you ask me a couple of people had more motive to kill Reed than just Jackson. Sylvia and Jackson though make a great couple, they're adventurous and romantic. Let's face it.... The gangs all here and HEA's are a must when this author writes. Overall entertainment is four and a half stars.

Predictable. I knew 90% through the previous book that It could have really been just two books.
The love scenes were just too many and too redundant. My head still hurts from all the eye rolling every time life had to be dealt with and they turned to "sex therapy". No. These people need real therapy and anger management.
Spoiler
Trent was the spy and her father was the murderer. I know the author has to drop clues here and there to lead up to the reveal, but did she have to make it so obvious to the reader that it made us question the character's intelligence?The love scenes were just too many and too redundant. My head still hurts from all the eye rolling every time life had to be dealt with and they turned to "sex therapy". No. These people need real therapy and anger management.

Wow. Seriously, just WOW. This was spectacular. Perfect ending to the trilogy. Loved it immensely! Amazingly well written with detailed and complicated characters that are full of raw emotion, passion, and intensity.
Sylvia and Jackson have a captivating story and I was lost to it. I could feel their insecurities and vulnerabilities as they went through all of their ups and downs. I loved in the midst of everything, they still had so much strength. Sylvia’s especially blows me away realizing just how far she has come, grown, and accepted certain things since book one. She's pretty phenomenal. I'm a big Jackson fan and his intensity, courage, and power really resonate with me and I love how he held himself. When Jackson and Sylvia are intimate, their passion is explosive and filled with wild desire. Besides it being really hot sex, it's so much more. They have this sexual connection that's crazy intense but it's also beautiful, because they can truly lose themselves in the other with no judgment. You not only feel that sensuality, but that true connection.
I had so many lingering questions and I was on the edge of my seat while I got all my answers, it was intense and emotional! Couldn't read fast enough! It had this incredible build as all the secrets and details were learned and I thought everything was revealed at the perfect time.
There are several relationships happening besides Sylvia and Jackson's and those growing connections made me so happy. I have loved Damien forever so seeing him connect with Jackson was a treat. I also adore how Ronnie came into play and how that was handled.
Excellent story, build, well developed, great pace. It was drama filled, heartbreaking, sexy, and full of second chances. I think I held my breath the last 25% with my hand covering my mouth because I was so riveted by what was happening.
I think this series is J. Kenner’s best work to date. The Stark International Trilogy is a must read!
Complimentary copy received for honest review.

Ugh......This series just really fell to the waist side after the first book (Say My Name). The 2nd book (On My Knees) was ok. Then this book just bombed. When On My Knees ended, it ended with Jackson getting arrested for a murder charge. Now, when that happened I knew that it wasn't Jackson. Now, I'm pretty sure every reader who's read this series knew it wasn't Jackson too. You knew who the real 'murderer' was with how things left off & events that led up to that point. Because of that, this book was complete filler. You're reading this book already knowing the outcome for every issue that arises. Not just Jackson's pending murder arrest/trial but, issues with Sylvia's resort & stuff with Jackson's kid. I figured everything out when the issue first arouse. It wasn't hard to figure out. I was hoping J. Kenner wouldn't go the obvious route but she did. It kinda feels like a cop out. Where's the fun in that?! With On My Knees, I was already borderline not liking Sylvia anymore. This book put the nail in the coffin for me. I couldn't stand her or the characters anymore (besides Damien & Nikki). Every issue that arouse between Jackson & Sylvia they never communicated about them.They had sex to ignore their problems & that got boring after the first few times.
It's disappointing that I didn't like this book because I had very high hopes for not only this book but, also this series. This is a go to author for me where I've loved pretty much every other book she's written. I'm looking at this as a bump in the road. This book won't sway me from reading any other books or series she writes.
