NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER For fans of Release Me comes a series of three enigmatic and powerful men, and the striking women who can bring them to their knees.

He is everything I crave, all I desperately want—and he is everything I can’t have.

Evan Black embodies my every fantasy. He is brilliant, fierce, and devastatingly handsome. But he is also headstrong, dangerous, and burdened with secrets.

My family warned me to stay away, that I could never handle Evan’s dark dealings or scarred past. Maybe I should have listened. Maybe I should have run. But our desire is undeniable, and some temptations you just can’t fight.

And from the moment we touch—the passion between us consuming us both—I know that I will never be the same.

Wanted is intended for mature audiences.

The Jury is still out...

The Jury is still out...
First of all...I absolutely LOVE this author and I loved the STARK trilogy...couldn't get enough of it. But THIS story?? I'm kind of disappointed with it because the mystery that this author left us with (in the Stark Trilogy) about Evan Black just had me wanting more of him. He was intriguing. And then comes along this story and Ms. Kenner delivers trivial bits about Evan Black and more about Angelina Raine. This story is basically all about Angie.Angelina Raine...aka Angie..aka "Lina" is sorta like two people. There's "Lina" who is a wild girl wanting the thrill that shoplifting dumb junk brings her, or going to strip clubs, etc....and then there's Angie, the straight laced girl who tries to live up to her Senator fathers' political expectations and aspirations.....toeing the line and being all things good and proper. Except Angie is boring and it's not Angelina at all. She's totally "Lina". Confused yet?When Angelina is 16, her older sister is murdered which profoundly changes Angies' life forever. She becomes serious about life and the direction she wants to go..that is, Politics. But the first time she meets Evan Black, she feels something more than an innocent crush. She wants him with an intensity that grows to an inferno through the years. She basically becomes obsessed with him. Just being near him gives her an exciting rush that the wild girl within her craves.Evan Black is a slow burn of sin and seduction...always looking as if he owns the world and everything in it. He has a chiseled, handsome face with a body to match. He's confidently strong, taking control of a room with nothing more than a glance. He's also into "shady" business ventures....keeping one step ahead of the FBI.With a description that this author gives (of Evan Black), it was kind of hard for Ms. Kenner to top...or at the very least, to maintain. Evan Black's mysterious persona slowly deteriorates and loses his sizzle. Somewhere during the story, he becomes more and more human...losing his delicious mystique and dark side. At least for me...I really wanted to like this story. I tried very hard to like it. I mean, I looked forward to knowing more about Mr. Black for so long.. (from the Stark Trilogy)...waiting and waiting.... And he was almost everything I had anticipated in a strong, macho, dominant character. Character description of him were absolutely perfect. He's commanding, captivating and complex. I loved him.But Angelina was almost annoying and I just couldn't see someone like Evan Black giving her much notice, much less being interested in her. On top of that, there's no description of Angelina. Nothing. I mean, it isn't until ¾ of the way through the book that we find out she's a brunette! Weak character descriptions leave me floundering. I just need to know WHAT Evan Black see's in Angie. We're never told what draws him to her...beyond basic attraction. But...WHAT? I wanna know!?!The plot of this story was kinda' predictable at times. (I mean, ya just KNOW that what's supposed to be a fake, is actually authentic and is going to have to be remedied). Didn't take much brain power to figure that out long before revelations came.As much as I like stories that are not trilogies or cliff hangers...as much as I like stories that stand alone and we don't have to wait for the next installment...I think this story would've done better with a second installment. The ending simply wrapped up too quickly...and the secrets revealed weren't really any major deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Angie and Evan are my most wanted couple! Sizzling erotic scenes, tense adventure scenes. A beautiful love story HEA!!!

This might well be my favorite book of the year. I could not wait each morning to read a chapter or two before beginning my day. I finished it today and had to let you know how blown away I was with the intensity of their love. This books is a non-stop rush! Lots of erotic sex, but more than that they really are two halves of the perfect couple. Angelina/ Angie/Lina has loved Evan Black since she was 16 years old and living in her uncle's penthouse. Her uncle, her parents, an old FBI boyfriend, and even Even Evan all warned her to stay away.

Angie is about to go to Washington, D.C. to work for a Congressman as her father is a highly placed Senator in line for the V.P. position in the next election. She's taken all the right courses at the right schools and should do very well there, but this is the life that her older sister would have loved, not Angie. She carries tremendous guilt over the murder of her sister Gracie, even though she does not know the details of her murder. She used to sneak out of the house with her friends to go dancing, drinking, etc. and her sister would sneak out to try and find her and bring her back home. One night her sister did not return. So, she's been trying to live the life her sister wanted to please her father and to make amends. Unfortunately, it will take her away from Evan.

Angie's best friend tells her to take the chance since she has only weeks until she must go to Washington. To have a brief fling with Evan, if he will. He most certainly does want her and has since she was 16. She is now 22 and he is 26. She wants to fly and being with Evan makes her feel like she is soaring, flying. He tells her that he will always catch her. What a wonderful book.

I loved this one soo much, I am not sure that I am ready for Evan's buddies books: Tyler and Cole.
Perhaps next week. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!
P.S. I read J. Kenner's books years ago when she wrote Regency comedies and loved those. She wrote those under the name Julie Kenner.

What do you do when a lifetime of secrets keeps you from the only man you've ever wanted, and the one thing standing between you and him is gone? You tease, test and taunt his resolve to be with you.

Angelina Raine has experienced a tragedy that has left her with a crushing guilt and nightmares. The only way she knows how to deal with the pain is to find ways to get a rush. She's lived a duel life as art-loving-rush-seeking Lina, who she's more like than she's strong enough to admit and Angie, the doting daughter following in her father, Senator Raine's political foot steps. It's after her beloved uncle, Howard Jahn dies, her world once again shatters. When her FBI boyfriend can't quench her need for a rush, to dull the pain, she uses her new job as an excuse to end things. She then seeks out the biggest rush in her friend, the dark and dangerous Evan Black. With a job waiting on the Hill for her, she takes a chance to convince Evan they have three weeks to get each other out of their systems.

Evan Black has spent his life re-building after he too experiences a horrible tragedy, in doing so he creates an empire with his two best friends, Cole August and Tyler Sharp, the Three Dog Knights. Warned off by Jahn, Evan has kept his distance while watching Angie from afar; but after Jahn's passing and Angie's persistence he finally gives in to the one thing he's always wanted...her.

The flirtation between the two was more than enough to sustain my interest that I didn't even realize I'd gotten nearly sixty percent before they finally had sex. They are just that HOT and they just get HOTTER!

When I say Evan is dark and dangerous it's not an over exaggeration. He's done a lot within and out of the law to get where he is and it doesn't go unnoticed by Angie's FBI-ex. He's not above doing whatever it takes to protect the ones he loves either. And for Stark fans...BEWARE...Evan might, just might, steal you away.

There is a lot of mystery to this story - including the origins of a rare piece of Da Vinci art work - and in the way the past and present intertwine. When secrets are slowly revealed, some pull these two together while others threaten to tear them apart.

There were a few things that I felt were left unanswered but maybe they'll be addressed later, if not, I guess I'll just always have my assumptions. The end kept a steady reading pace but felt a little rushed in the story telling but I still loved it. Wanted is the first in an expected trilogy and has an HEA. I am excited to see Evan and Lina throughout the series, hopefully, but am equally excited for Cole and Tyler's books. You get more of Cole than Tyler in Wanted but neither are ones to shy away from. This is definitely a new series you aren't going to want to miss out on!

"I want you Angelina" I felt like Evan was talking to me! Literally LOL!

"Maybe I like dangerous men" - Angelina
"Maybe you shouldn't"- Evan

"You wanted to fly. I wanted to make sure you didn't crash."

"It's never wise for a princess to tease a dragon."

"If you knew what I wanted to do with you right now, you'd run."

"He was like a drug, and now that I'd tasted him, I knew that I could never give him up."

I am a huge fan of J.Kenner's work and this story was no different from her other work that I loved so much. I loved Angelina's character. Even though she had issues from her heartbreaking past that haunted her she still seemed like a strong woman to me. Evan...well what can I say about him? He was alpha-male perfection! The story had romance, intensity, angst, heartbreak and so much suspense. I was afraid that this story would end in a cliff hanger but thankfully it didn't. I liked the way it ended. The next installment will be Tyler's story. Can't wait!

Je n'ai pas trop accroché à l'histoire car l'héroïne fait un peu trop de manières et l'histoire est un peu surréaliste.
Je n'ai pas fini le 1er tome, je ne recommande donc pas vraiment.

I have just finished this book, what a great read! I loved J Kenner's Stark Trilogy & adored Damien, so I did wonder what these would be like. I was not disappointed.

The story grabbed you from the beginning, the characters & their stories reeling me in. Evan Black is a bad alpha male & so hot, Angelina is broken & in need of just such a bad boy as Evan; you end up desperate for them to make it work it out.

I liked the fact that although this book is part of a trilogy, the story was complete & the other two books are about Evan's best friends Cole and Tyler; so I guess you will still find out what is happening with Evan & Angelina, which is good too.

Well worth a read!

Angie/Lina ist die Tochter eines Senators, sie lebt mit dem schlechten Gewissen und den Albträumen wegen des Todes ihrer Schwester und hat eine wilde Seite in sich, die sie meistens gut versteckt hält.

Evan ist ein reicher Geschäftsmann mit kriminellem Hintergrund. Er und seine Freunde Cole und Thyler haben ein Imperium aus dem Nichts aufgebaut.

Als die Beiden sich auf einer Party zu Ehren ihres verstorbenen Onkels Jahn wiedersehen fliegen die Funken.

Man weiß sofort, dass Angie und Evan zusammen gehören, aber ein Versprechen und widrige Umstände machen ihnen das Leben schwer.

Die Hintergrundgeschichte ist spannend, der Sex ist heiß, Evan ist hot mit einem großen "H" und Angie erinnert mich an Eva aus "Crossfire".

Die Geschichte ist in sich abgeschlossen, was ich super finde, denn diese ewigen Cliffhanger gehen mir echt auf die Nerven, und das nächste Buch, das ich mir schon vorbestellt habe :), handelt von einem seiner Freunde.
