Shattered With You was a thrilling read! It was intriguing, intense, and sexy. There was a fantastic romantic suspense vibe happening, I loved that element of mystery and drama. It kept things exciting and I was hooked the entire time!
Eliza and Quince were such great characters. They had the perfect combination of intensity and vulnerability to them. I loved learning about the battles they were fighting - figuratively and literally - and how it all played out. I really liked getting into both Quince and Eliza’s minds, truly understanding their struggles and what they were going through. The foreshadowing kept me turning the page like a mad woman because I couldn't wait to know what would happen next. There was a killer build as everything was discovered about their past and their complicated relationship together. This couple has an undeniable and complicated chemistry, I loved their push and pull as they fight their feelings.
I love the Stark World J. Kenner has created and it was so great seeing characters from previous stories and how they played into this one. I’m really looking forward to Broken With You, book two in this series. After meeting one of the main characters in the story and the storyline that was set up, I’ll be counting down the days to release.
This was an excellent series starter. I was filled with so much anticipation as everything developed. I love the timing of how all the secrets were discovered, I was on the edge of my seat. J. Kenner is an exceptional storyteller. The drama, tension, and heat were perfect. I also loved the emotion as these two broken and passionate people navigate their way back together in the midst of turmoil. It was a fantastic read!

J. Kenner does not disappoint and knows how to write some sexy alpha heroes, plus throw in the Stark Universe and you have the key to the perfect book.
Quincy and Eliza met in London years ago, however, Quincy disappears without a trace. Years later they are face to face again and they need each other. Will Eliza be able to forgive Quince? Will they be able to save those they are looking for?
This is the first book in the new Stark Security trilogy, and I am hooked! It was steamy and it had an element of suspense. Quincy and Eliza had instant chemistry in the past and that chemistry didn’t die down in the when they met again in the future. My heart broke when it came to Eliza and her sister, Emma’s story.
I was on the edge of my seat throughout the story. I wanted to know what would happen next. I couldn’t put the book down.
This is a must read book of 2019 and I know the rest of the series will be as well.

Shattered With You was such a great story and it install pulled me into the story. I was easily swept away into this romance. J.Kenner has such a great talent in writing stories and I love her writing style that is so engaging. I found this story to be unique in that we have such a level of intensity to this story. We do experience some flashbacks in this one and I was really fascinated in how this author implemented it. I was so endeared by both of the characters. They are so strong willed and SO stubborn so it made for some fireworks. But we also see their vulnerabilities especially in how much they care for each other. I just wanted them to find their way together and overcome the hurdles that have kept them from finding their HEA. I was intrigued to see where J. Kenner would deliver this story and it was done it such a solid way. And while it didn't quite make it to a five star read, it was such a solid win for me.

I love a second chance story.
I love everything related to the Starkiverse.
I adore Eliza and Quincy.
Full of action, suspense and oh so much sexual tension, Shattered With You had me hooked from the start.
I did feel though, that the end was a little rushed, and with all the build up I was expecting a bang at the end, and it felt more like a whimper. However that could just be me.
I loved seeing bits of the Stark men and their ladies.
I felt that this was a good and interesting start to the Stark Security spin off, and I am looking forward to what comes next.

I haven't read a book by J Kenner in so long and after reading Shattered With You, I'm wondering why I haven't!
The story of Eliza and Quincy is one intense and steamy ride!
I loved the British Intelligence Agent spin and how Eliza is determined to find her sister. Eliza's sister Emma, has gone missing and Eliza knows that something has happened to her. She sees a blast from her past while working undercover to find her. A blast that broke her heart already but she knows that he can help her.
The adventure that they go on to find Emma and the missing princess is one crazy ride!
There were so many twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat and now I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
An amazing start to a new series!
