Publisher Description
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author J. Kenner comes a new story in her Stark Security series...
Hollywood consultant Renly Cooper is fed up with relationships. His recent breakup with a leading lady played out across the tabloids, and the former Navy Seal is more than ready to focus on his new position as an agent at the elite Stark Security agency. He’s expecting international stakes. Instead, his first assignment is to protect one of Damien Stark’s friends from a stalker. A woman who, to his delight, turns out to be one of his closest childhood friends.
After a foray into online dating puts tech genius Abby Jones in danger, she needs a bodyguard, and her business partner, Nikki Fairchild Stark, enlists help from Stark Security. When the assigned agent turns out to be her best friend from junior high - and her first crush - she’s thrilled to discover he’s even more delicious now. She hopes one sexy night can turn into more, but Renly is firmly in the friends-with-benefits camp.
As the threat to Abby increases, she tries to keep her growing feelings for Renly at bay. But as the sparks between them burn even hotter, can they go from friends to lovers when the first order of business is simply to keep Abby alive?
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new listeners, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
Customer Reviews
What a treat this was. ❤️
"But Renly had worked long enough in Hollywood to know that things weren't always as they seemed."
What a treat this was. I really enjoy a juicy novella to clear my palate between books. Memories of You was extra delicious because I got to dust off my armchair detective skills and try to figure out whodunit.
Renly is a blast from her past that she never forgot. Except now he's out of the military and all grown up in the best of ways. He's working for Stark Security. Small world, right? And that connection she felt with him way back then, it's still there.
Abby is beautiful. Even more so than he remembered. When he learns that it's his childhood friend that needs protecting, it's not a job to him, it's a necessity. The problem is that he wants to keep more than his eyes on her. He wants to touch every part of her with every part of him.
If you are already a Stark fan, you are gonna love this. If you haven't tried it yet, this taste will convince you that you need more. As I've said many times, there's no such thing as enough Stark. As long as the author writes them I'll keep coming back for more. The line forms here.
Memories of You
“...can’t help but fear that the boy I always needed has grown into a man I can never have.”
Anytime I get my hands on a new J Kenner read I know I’m in for a treat. Once again I was not disappointed. Even in a novella you can get so wrapped up in her books. Don’t let the small (if could be 1,000 and I’d still want more) amount of pages mislead you...they are full of goodness!!!
“It was a good feeling, and terrifying too, because he knew so well that it could all evaporate in an instant...Close friends, gone in an instant. His own life changed in the blink of an eye.”
This story will keep you guessing until the end. Along the way you will have tears, laughter, be fanning yourself, wrapped up in the action and mystery.
“Just tonight,” she said. “Because I missed you, and I trust you.”
Childhood crushes that have you guessing can you ever truly get over your first love? Is it the familiarity? Danger? The what if’s? Or soulmates?
“I want it all, and while part of me hates that he’s seeing me so needy and desperate, a bigger part of me is turned on by the fact that it’s him who’s made me this way—and that, of course, he knows it.”
“...he wasn’t smart. He wasn’t even honest. Not with himself, and not with anybody else.”
J Kenner always shines a light on important issues and how they impact regular people like you and me, daily. She brings it into our awareness in a unique way. This book also adds a backstory to characters we already know and love...and adds a great addition to the Stark Security team.
“I never wanted the world. All I’ve ever really wanted is you.”
Looking forward to Red’s story in Ravaged With You!
short, slightly steamy novella
We finally get to see Abby have her chance at HEA. This book builds upon our precious introductions to Renly, Abby, Eric, and Red from Stark Novella “Cherish Me”.
As it turns out, Abby’s childhood friends are fraternal twins Renly & Red. Abby and Renly are quite the pair of “friends firstl duo, which unfortunately is tested thoroughly between Abby’s stalker and Ren’s past flings.
This is a short, slightly steamy novella with a lot of recent Stark world character additions mixed in. It’s a great addition to the Stark World. Also-we get to find out what happened with Travis too!
