A review by jonetta
Complete Me by J. Kenner
3.0
The story resumes three weeks later from where the last book ended with Nikki and Damien in Munich, Germany on the day his trial for the murder of Merle Richter is scheduled to begin. He's refusing to reveal his abuse at the hands of Richter and his attorneys are worried he'll be convicted without that testimony. Nikki, while by his side, is still on the outside looking in as Damien continues his withholding, secretive pattern.
I was encouraged from the start that this book would continue to focus more on story now that Nikki and Damien were on surer footing about each other's feelings. However, it rather quickly segued into more of their sexual explorations, overly so. I was hoping to see them mature in their relationship but it just felt like more of the same...Nikki opining about her obsessive love and need for Damien, him continuing to withhold secrets from her, she continuing to be upset for a moment until the scene lapsed into another sexual romp.
There's a missed opportunity to have both shift from the immature patterns Nikki and Damien both followed earlier when they were insecure about each others feelings. Instead, this was just more of the same without the intensity of the past. It just was long on sex and short on story.
I was looking for and expecting more from this final story of the trilogy and was disappointed. There just wasn't enough to keep me invested in the story and I struggled to finish. The ending was creative but it wasn't enough to save the story for me.
