What should have been a night to reconnect without the children turns into a night that neither Nikki or Damien will ever forget. Caught up in a jewelry heist gone wrong and separated, Damien relies on what the has learned from his employees at Stark Security to get Nikki to safety. Will this be the end of the best couples ever written? Or will this be another notch that Damien can cross off his endless list of job duties? Once again J. Kenner takes the readers on a roller coaster of a ride. Nikki and Damien stories never get old and this one only proves just how great J. Kenner can write. Loved it and will never get tired of these two!!

You must know that, should J. Kenner release a new book in the Nikki and Damien Stark saga, this girl, this reader, is all in. It’s an immediate pre-order purchase, and I sign up for an ARC immediately because Nikki and Damien Stark are that addicting. J. Kenner writes stories in their world that engage you and keep you suspended on the edge of your seat from the suspense of the story, the sweetness of the relationship between them, between their friends and family, and between them and their children.
J. Kenner’s newest release, a novella entitled Cherish Me, is more of that. Set during Christmas time, Nikki, Damien, and their children set off for New York where they spend some time with Dallas and Jane, a couple from Kenner’s Stark Universe. While there, Damien suggests that Dallas joins his newly formed Stark Security. During that discussion, Dallas challenges Damien for the same, given that Damien feels as though he has achieved just about everything he can achieve. With that in his mind, Nikki and Damien are off for Manhattan for the night...alone. Nikki has planned a solitary time for them while their children stay behind with Dallas and Jane for night. Their night is meant to be spent at a newly rehabilitated boutique hotel, not under the Stark brand. What ends up happening during their stay will shock you.
Quite frankly, Cherish Me is Damien Stark meets Die Hard. This is a novella, so it is but a snippet of a night between Nikki and Damien. However, in true J. Kenner form, she engages you in their on-going story. Quite frankly, I don’t know how much more this couple can take, but Cherish Me is everything you love about their stories: fast-paced, full of action and suspense with a bit of steam on the side. This one also holds a big surprise. As I was reading, I found myself smiling and gasping, worried for the end. However, Damien and Nikki are fated lovers, so, even though strife shades their life, they always end up with a happy ending.
If you want a quick read that will make you chuckle for its allusions to people’s favorite Christmas movie, and you love Nikki and Damien Stark as I do, then GRAB Cherish Me. It’s everything you adore about J. Kenner’s favorite couple.

J. Kenner gave Nikki and Damien Stark fans an early holiday gift with Cherish Me, a 1001 Dark Nights novella–so you know it brought the sexy. Add in a huge secret and some action movie-type sequences and you’ve got yourself a five star story.
Julie Kenner has said in both the author notes in Cherish Me and online that she modeled the novella after a certain action flick that made “Yippee Ki Yay” famous. Whether you’re in the “It’s not a holiday movie” or “It’s totally a holiday movie” camp, the fight and action scenes Kenner came up with for Damien were exciting, fast paced, and added to the tension already going on in the Starks’ world...
