I have finished the Stark trilogy and am glad that I read the entire story, but feel very strongly that the first book was the best part of this trilogy. Complete Me left me feeling very dissatisfied. (hahaha)
While reading books like Complete Me or the books by Maya Banks, or even the ever popular Fifty Shades series, I overheard girl friends ask more than once, why can't I find a guy like ____? Well, I have figure it out. We can't find men like these men because they don't exist in the real world and even if they did exist women with half a brain would run for the hills if confronted with demands similar to those of Damien Stark in this last edition of the Stark Trilogy. Sexually abused, a murderer...who cares about his billions? Some things are more important than money. And, why is it that these intensely sexual men have been born from teenagers who have been abused? What does this say about men like them? That all men who aren't vanilla have a sordid past? Good grief. The unrealistic nature of these books just keeps getting more unrealistic.
So, I am glad to close the cover on Damien Stark and am headed to a book that swings in the totally opposite direction from these novels. Thank goodness, too. I need a break.
Happy reading everyone!
