Stark After Dark is the complete collection of Damien and Nikki's novella and I can sum up all those books in one word. HOT!
I've said it before and I will say it again... I love J Kenner for writing more and more Damien and Nikki novellas. She keeps feeding this Damien and Nikki lover every single time she announces she is going to release a new Stark Ever After Novella.
All the novellas are quick but pack a punch leaving you wanting more after you finish. These books provide insight on Damien ...more

Deliciously sexy, sweet and heartwarming—that’s what all of these book have. Kenner doesn’t disappoint with the continuation of these two fan favorites.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I will ever have enough of Nikki and Damien. These two made me fall in love with the genre and are always my go-to when I need to get out of a book funk. I have read and reviewed each of these novellas separately and I think it is brilliant J. Kenner has put all of these spectacular books together.

Stark After Dark is the perfect title for the collection of novellas that continue to provide readers with insights of Damien and Nikki Starks’ life after their wedding. Each story showcases what readers have loved about this couple from the beginning – the way they infuse both fantasy and reality into their relationship and the way they take care of each other regardless of what or who rears their heads at them.

J.Kenner’s Stark Trilogy has a very special place in my heart, this series was among my first #AFSoG reads and Damien & Nikki’s story has stayed with me. I have honestly lost count of the number of times that I read each book in this series – to this day, I am completely enamored. Kenner gave us a couple that faced down and beat back their challengers and enemies; in the end, standing strong for each other. THEN there are the novellas. I devoured each and every one, because J. Kenner found new a

4.5 Sizzling Stars!!
Oh how I love Damien Stark!!! He's found his perfect match in Nikki Fairchild. To have four of the novellas put into one book is fabulous beyond words because I can just read back to back to back. We get the wedding, the honeymoon (Damien style) to their first Valentine's Day as a married couple and then as if they need any spicing up, they're living out a fantasy which just takes it up just another notch....

I read all these separately not too long ago. I'm so glad they put them in an anthology.
Take Me
The wedding! As usual nothing goes as planned but still ends up perfect!
Have Me
Not sure how I missed this one but I'm glad I read it. I forgot how much I loved Damien and Nikki. This was a nice little taste of their honeymoon.
Play My Game
Such a cute story full of romance and adventure. If you haven't met Nikki and Damien yet then I suggest you do.

This book is filled with four anthologies about Damien and Nikki. It starts with them planning for there wonderful wedding. I love how these stories were back to back and I definitely loved that I got more Damien.
Of course those who have been married know that no wedding day is perfect and I loved how Kenner showed that. From Nikki's mother showing up to people breaking into there hotel room on their honeymoon.

Love Damien and Nikki!!!!
Enjoyable Read
This was an enjoyable read although not as good as the first 3 books in the Stark Series. Not much of a storyline, it mainly flitted between Nikki’s insecurity and their sex life.
I’d recommend these to anyone who loves the Stark Series and wanted a bit more of their story though it’s a bit slow it’s still an enjoyable read. Even though it’s supposed to be 4 separate books they’re very short and there’s not much more than one book in total.

Good read, as usual by Kenner. But I wanted more of a storyline in this one. But I will still read the next one.
Just wow for these 4 stories. Looking forward to the next instalments.

Stark After Dark is complete with 4 Awesome short stories to warm up your winter blues. It’s the ultimate Damien and Nikki guide. There is no such thing as “too much Damien Stark”. Author J. Kenner can write a novella each month and I will devour it like candy.

Final Score - 5 Scorching FLAMES of Stars!!!
Nikki & Damien are BACK... still as freaky, still as ingenious as ever. Keeping those home-fires burning. Playing their little games. From the land of Honeymoons to settling in as newlyweds, they hopelessly still "in the bubble of love".
Of course, all god things must come to an end when they get back to the land of Reality, right?
Unfortunately, all too right! But they did manage to squeeze in some sexy time & games galore!

Gah just when i thought my Damien addiction had been fed and was gone away, I get my handles on this little thing.. and there it is.. MY ADDICTION IS BACK. How can we not be addicted to Damien and Nikki?
Damien and Nikki are one of the most erotic couples out there. And I love that no matter where they are or what they do, they just know what the other one needs. And J Kenner surely did fulfill those needs in STARK AFTER DARK.

I first read about Damien Stark a few years ago, and to this day, I still take any crumb I can get about Damien and Nikki, they are so memorable. Stark After Dark is a prime example of a perfect follow-up book to an amazing series. You may have read these before, but having them all in one spot makes the writing flow and the memories surface. These novellas are all put into one anthology, and follow Damien and Nikki from their wedding, to their honeymoon, to a very memorable first Valentine's Da
