This Man by Jodi Ellen Malpas
5.0
With all the casting news and filming being done, I found it impossible not to reread this series. And I’m so glad I did!
This is my second read of this book and it was just as good as the first time I read it. I was terrified that it wouldn’t be as good as I remember, but instead I got a deeper look into the characters.
This is the kind of book where you come for the spice but you end up with so much more. The tenderness between Ava and Jesse is so beautiful but then it can switch to the intense, dominating scenes we all wish for.
Honestly, Jesse (The Lord of the Manor) is the ultimate alpha hero. He’s possessive and domineering but he can also read Ava so well that he knows when she needs his tender side.
Although Ava was technically a submissive, she didn’t always follow his rules. She wasn’t meek, and she fought back against Jesse’s questionable requests. It was always amusing watching Jesse lose his shit.
The only reason why this book didn’t get the full 5 stars is because at times the spice happened a bit too often and felt unnecessary. But, each scene did have a little something new.
It was so fun reading it this time knowing the ending. I could see all the ways Jodi slipped in the signs throughout.
I’m beyond ecstatic for the movie release on Passionflix. December can’t come quick enough.
✦ Tropes: Billionaire, Alpha Hero, Age gap, British hero, Love at first sight
