Damien Stark could have his way with any woman. He was sexy, confident, and commanding: Anything he wanted, he got. And what he wanted was me.

Our attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as I ached to be his, I feared the pressures of his demands. Submitting to Damien meant I had to bare the darkest truth about my past—and risk breaking us apart.

But Damien was haunted, too. And as our passion came to obsess us both, his secrets threatened to destroy him—and us—forever.

 

This book really reminds be of a better written Fifty Shades of Gray combined with a bit of Bared to You. Damien Stark is a power driven Billionaire who always gets what he wants. Nikki Fairchild is a former beauty queen from Dallas who has meet Damien during her pageant days. Six years later they meet once again and spark fly. The first book contains a bit of everything, sex, cheating and even a bit of a murder. I did enjoy the character Nikki, she was strong but still was weak in her own way. Since the book did remind me of Fifty Shade of grey I did compare the characters a bit. This book did have less jealousy and BDSM (only a bit of tying up and spanking). The only thing I did find disturbing about the character Damien is that he did know more information about Nikki then he really should. Where Christian from Fifty Shade of Grey just did a background check, Damien waited for her to grow up almost borderline stalking, . Other then that little fact I really enjoy the book, it was well written and the plot was good. I love the fact this book did not have a lot of angst, mostly just hot sex. I highly recommend reading this book if you are a fan of Fifty Shades of Grey or Bared to You. I am really looking froward to reading the second book of the trilogy (Claim Me) out in July 2013.
