Red, Jo & Mel were best friends & roommates in college. Despite an attraction between Red & Jo, she ended up married to the wrong guy. Now, years later, Mel is dead and the pair find themselves working together to figure out why he was murdered before the killer comes for them. Lots of danger & suspense keep the action moving as Red & Jo track the killer and rediscover their passion for each other.

A fast paced story filled with romance and mystery. Julie Kenner has a gift for being creative and perceptive. This book had me questioning everything and I loved each moment of it.

It’s always a comfortable place in the Stark world and this was no different. Even though the subject matter is about the unthinkable, Red’s story is what makes him the man that he is. Along with his long and unresolved feelings for Jo. The same with Jo and her feelings for Red. What would have happened if they had acted on them years ago? Sometimes, things happen when they are supposed to. This was an entertaining read with characters that you love to see over and over again.

Ravaged With You opens with a tragic loss of of a husband, friend and business partner of Jo Swift and Red Cooper. After what appears to be a suicide quickly turns into a race against time for Red and Jo to solve a murder with some help from Stark Security. This book puts the reader on edge from beginning to end…with mystery, action, chemistry and a HEA.

The world of Stark Security continues with Red (from Cherish Me) and Jo’s story. A detailed action packed story with chemistry and a little bit of a slow burn. Some of the story felt repetitive in the sense that certain details kept being unnecessarily brought up. Red is the classic damaged hero that this author is known for writing. Jo wasn’t my favorite of the author’s heroines, but the story definitely kept me full engaged. If there had been more bedroom fun, this would have hands down a five start read. The book also sets up for the next Stark Security story and the next Damien and Nikki story.
