Something is happening in Damien's life but he won't let Nikki know- the man who has billions of Dollars is worried. Firstly- news leaks that Nikki is the girl in the painting leaving Nikki exposed and into her crazy cutting ways- Damien will do anything to stop it. Damien's old coach who abused him as a kid. Offcourse Damien will not go and towards the ending it gets real interesting minus the sex.
Damien is set to go to Munich for some work and Nikki runs to see him before she leaves and to tell him she Loves him. He doesn't say it back and breaks up with her and leaves.
Nikki finally finds out the truth- they are trialing Damien for the death of Richter. When Damien was 14 they were arguing on a rooftop and Richter fell over his feet.
Damien could have saved him but he didn't. Nikki tells him she doesn't care, she will standby him no matter what, he left her cos he didn't want to bring her into this and hurt her. Anyway he Loves her too no surprise there So the trial begins- and the book ends Or never bleed? I'm sure her Cookie looks like a used Prune.
And Damien How do you come SOOO many times in a day? I'm sure by the amount of sperm u use, you probably shooting some blanks or something. Normally your penis should be like a limp sausage or something, I'm guessing money can buy u some crazy stamina and ballls of steel!! So yes As bored as I was yawning, skimming through sex scenes etc , because of the ending I will read the next book for sure. I just hope that Nikki can keep her legs close and wear some panties!

LOL and the perfect follow up to Release Me. No cliffhanger. Yes, please!!! Got an ARC, yay!!!!!! View all 44 comments. We rejoin Damien and Nikki just as their agreement is drawing to a close. Nikki is still tortured by the demons of her past, the We rejoin Damien and Nikki just as their agreement is drawing to a close.
Nikki is still tortured by the demons of her past, the need for pain never really goes away and the attentions of the paparazzi will push her to the limits of her ability to cope.
Damien is acutely aware of this and reads her so well — he understands when the need consumes her and it hurts him and he feels guilty for her finding herself in situation that bring on that desire to hurt herself.
Damien also has demons in his past that are about to roar back into his life in a way that we could not possibly have forseen. He does eventually share with her but it takes nearly the whole book Their love for one another verges on obsession and, despite their game coming to an end, Damien continues to dominate Nikki. I just totally adore Damien. The sex is just super-volcanic and scorching hot.
Nikki and Damien take us on such an emotional roller-coaster in this one as we go from deliriously happy right to the depths of despair and there is a tantalising cliffhanger and their future is left very uncertain in this one as we prepare for the momentous events of the next book. I will say that this is four not five stars because it started to drag just a little during the middle part of the book.
A big percentage of this book is just Nikki and Damien and it takes almost the whole novel for the whole plot to move on from where it begins — of course, when it does move on, it moves on in such spectacular fashion it will leave your heart pounding and take your breath away. She needs a man like Damien. Release Me 2. Claim Me 3. View all 12 comments. I'm all for sex in a book, I love it, but when you start over doing it and there is no real story I get bored.
I'm sexed out hahahahaha! Freaking awesome View all 19 comments. Jan 22, Christy rated it really liked it. First off, I am a huge Damien Stark fan Plus I really like Nikki. Damien and Nikki There is nobody as fuckalicious as my Mr. Damien has proven to her that he cares for her, and he will continue to be there for her. He sees her pain, and he wants to help her First off, I am a huge Damien Stark fan He sees her pain, and he wants to help her, to take it away.
Or, more accurately, he sees them for what they are- a part of me. Battle scars from what I have overcome and what I continue to fight. They both decide that is not something they want. They want to be together the way they have been. As much as you mean to me. Damien has been there for Nikki, been strong for her. Now it is her turn to be there for him. Damien Stark has a lot of secrets. The secrets get to Nikki, but she understands that is hard to open up.
She accepts that. I see them even if no one else does. And I know how much it helped me to talk to you. Nikki starts to crack. But she is stronger now.
She has Damien. Damien is there for her, to protect her and care for her. And she is there for him. It centers me. It gives me strength. If I do all those things for you- soothe you, center you, give you strength- than thats worth more to me than every penny I have earned.
He is understanding and caring when it comes to Nikki. And he is sexy, protective and possessive. Especially in the bedroom. Damien and Nikki were scorching hot together! I really love Nikki and Damien and have enjoyed their story so far. Both characters really grew in this book in different ways. The ending I just loved it!!! What I meant to say was view spoiler [ I love you. View all 30 comments. But the beauty of this book is the fact that besides their problems, Damien and Nikki found peace and solace in each others arms.
So beside serious issues, I got a little bit of this Story pics up exactly where first book ended. Things between Nikki and Damien look pretty good right now, but Nikki is worried that while Damien desires her and her body, he does not need her as much as she needs him in her life.
Also, in previous book we learnt that Damien has his secrets. In this book he finally opens up and gradually reveals them all. Moreover, I really love how possesive and passionate Damien is in this book. Also, he is able to admit his mistake and be reasonable. And THAT is very sexy combination If you did not fall for him in previous book, you will fall for him in this book for sure. Writing in this book has a poetic feeling.
As well as the story itself, writing was sensual, tantalizing and very enjoyable. Storyline flows easily and I really liked this intelligent-like style of writing. The relationship between Nikki and Damien is extremely sexual. But I found refreshing the fact that they do not use sex as a make-up tool, the act of making love helps them to overcome problems from outside and it helps them to feel grounded and safe.
Story may have been a little bit slow paced at the beginning but it was still enjoyable read. Cannot wait for final instalment in this series and see how things are going to develop for Nikki and Damien! View all 33 comments. Claim Me picks right up where Release Me ended.
The painting gets finished as is Damien's and Nikki's time together. However, they both realize how much they want to stay together. Nikki's having to learn how to deal with the paparazzi and more importantly with Damien's secrets. He is trying though and that's very important. The problem is he just tells her a little tidbit And there's all kinds of things coming out of the proverbial closets! Most yo Claim Me picks right up where Release Me ended.
There's a whole lotta sex going on and mostly sex dealing with controlling Nikki Nikki's very aware that she may have possible refocused her "need" of the other thing to her "need" for Damien.
But is this love? I do not trust her! At least we finally get a BIG answer to a problem at the end I seriously thought for sure we would get a cliffhanger this time.
Everything was set up perfectly but JK wonderfully allowed things to somewhat resolved themselves. Gotta love that! Looking forward to what the next book brings. Your hair glittering in candlelight. Your skin, dewy and soft, as you step out of the shower.
The way you move beneath me when we make love. And the way you look at me, as if there is nothing you could see inside me that would make you want to turn away. View all 32 comments. And after some pretty shitty things happening, rash decisions that would only stir more hurt inspite the love that grows between them Joy to the world On to the final part.
Mar 27, Jennifer Kyle rated it really liked it Shelves: arcs. Claim Me is the sequel to Release Me which I recommend you read first. I don't want our arrangement to end. You're mine, and there are rules.
And I want our game to continue. This couple has A LOT of sex. It seemed that every scene that they were together in ended or began with claiming each other. To be honest, waiting for the other shoe to drop so to say held my attention more than the erotic scenes or maybe took away from them.
There is a leak of information which places Nikki in the center of a media blitz. Paparazzi are hounding the couple. Nikki struggles to keep it together for the man she loves, needs and wants. Nikki has been open to Damien both emotionally and physically from the beginning of this book.
Sadly,Damien remains secretive about his business and worries. This book is very suspenseful and I really liked the supporting characters, they are an interesting bunch. When Damien finally decides to come clean to Nikki about what he has been hiding I was shocked.
I totally didn't expect it nor did I see it coming! The ending is a cliffhanger, our couple is left in a difficult situation but their relationship is View all 7 comments. If you thought Release Me was a whole bunch of hotness, you will not be disappointed in Claim Me. The continuing story of uber hot billionaire Damien and his beautiful, albeit emotionally scarred lover Nikki. In Release Me, Damien contracts with Nikki to pose for an erotic painting for the bargain price of one million dollars.
In addition, during that time, she is to be at his disposal in every way. Their relationship blooms from there. Claim Me picks up at th 4. Claim Me picks up at the end of the contracted period, when feelings have been established and a relationship ensues.
Damien is still the arrogant, controlling, mesmerizing man from Release Me. His presence in a room almost magnetic. The author does an awesome job of bringing all things Damien to life. You have captured me utterly, and you hold my heart in your hands. Be gentle with it.
It's more fragile than you think. He can't just continue a "normal" relationship. He needs that feeling of control and the assurance that Nikki will never leave him. So, he asks for the game to continue To touch, to tease, to tempt. To punish and to praise. To clothe, to feed.
Mine, Nikki, Mine to protect, mine to cherish. Mine to rule. Let's just say, the chemistry between these two is off the charts. The pull between these two just being in the same room is palpable. They have a need for each other that never seems to be satisfied, a need that is borderline unhealthy. Damien has serious secrets and he's doing everything in his power to protect Nikki from the backlash of them if they ever get revealed.
Nikki has emotional scars dating back to her pageant days with her controlling wicked mother. Cutting is her way to stay grounded. She needs the pain. Now Damien is her replacement Almost always The paparazzi is relentless. It's a constant battle keeping them at bay and having anytime to just be together peacefully. A lot of time is spent making love, in fact, that seems to be where the world fades away. Damien needs that control over Nikki, and Nikki needs the bite of a slap, the sting of a flogger to keep her centered.
But can they survive the onslaught when everything comes crashing down around them and all Damien's secrets and fears are exposed? This was a great read. Very steamy, some angst, and a fair amount of conflict. Writing was great with awesome character development and scenes are well played out.
There was a good half dozen typos and editing issues I hope get fixed prior to publishing as this was an arc for me.
All around, very enjoyable story. I'm not a huge fan of cliffhangers. This book is a bit cliffy but the ending gives me a sense of "I think it'll be okay. I cannot wait for the final installment due for release in July titled Complete Me.

I am yours. It dealt more with Damien's issues and him trying to overcome them. In the first book, we saw the tough upbringing that Nikki tried to deal with in a way that wasn't healthy. Now, we are learning about Damien's past which is quite heartbreaking and sad. He suffered abuse and had only himself to look out for himself. He had no one to talk to and a father who only cared about the money his son was bringing in than his well being.
