This Man by Jodi Ellen Malpas Book Summary

Named one of "The 20 Greatest Ever Romance Novels According to Goodreads Reviews" by O, The Oprah Magazine

Young interior designer Ava O'Shea has no idea what awaits her at the Manor. A run-of-the-mill consultation with a stodgy country gent seems likely, but what Ava finds instead is Jesse Ward--a devastatingly handsome, utterly confident, pleasure-seeking playboy who knows no boundaries. Ava doesn't want to be attracted to this man, and yet she can't control the overwhelming desire that he stirs in her. She knows that her heart will never survive him and her instinct is telling her to run, but Jesse is not willing to let her go. He wants her and is determined to have her.

Love it. This is better than 50 shades!! This is a book that would make a wonderful movie. Ugh so said to say goodbye to Jesse!! Great read! Husband enjoyed it too šŸ˜‰

EXTREME HOT AND CUTENESS. Although it took forever for them to reveal secrets and lies, this book is just like how reality is and it's just a cute romantic love story! I love it!

Loved it!!!!. I loved this one and other two books. I could use a Jesse style *ucking daily. He is possessive but I found it as his insecurity to lose her. If you read all three books everything makes sense in the end!!! Would highly recommend!

This Man series stays with you for life!. Most amazing series yet! Jessie is the alpha males of all males! I would love to see this series turned in a movie I would be afraid they wouldnā€™t do this series the justice it deserves! With this series you will laugh,cry,get frustrated, and very aroused! Your husband will be glad youā€™re reading this book! Jodi you are a amazing writer and I am grateful that I have read your books I love everything you have written!

A "Can't put it down MUST READ!!!" Book. First: do yourself a favor and ignore the haters. Second: Jesse is soooo dominant but it is soooo super sexy hot!! Ava is one defiant temptress who drives him crazy mad!! Their story is one you'll love being enthralled in. I could not put this book down!! I devoured every page and immediately started the second book after finishing this one. Then started the third book after reading the last page of the second book. I don't know why I waited so long to read this amazing, emotional, sexy hot trilogy! Third: do yourself another favor and immerse yourself into the This Man Trilogy. You'll be ecstatic you did!!!! Enjoy!!!

Wasnā€™t what I expected. I enjoyed this book. Some of the reviews are a bit on the ridiculous side. Very good worth the 8 bucks.

Abusive themes - not for me. This is a no for me. The main character is mentally and emotionally abusive - itā€™s just disguised as ā€œloveā€. Not to mention the stalking.

Too far. There is a line in this genre that sometimes gets crossed, and this book did so. Iā€™m all for tormented alphas, but when you take it too far, your sending a message that this kind of control and manipulation is okay. Itā€™s not. As other reviewers have said, the dialogue is vapid and redundant, which makes it impossible to buy into this ā€œloveā€ story. This need to stretch a simple story over three installments is annoying, but especially egregious when you canā€™t get invested in the main characters. And these two are more annoying than interesting, with copious amounts of silly maneuvers and selfishness.

Great read !!. Couldnā€™t put the book down

Captivating and Sexy. I fell in love with this book! Being a big fan of erotic fiction such as fifty shades, I was struggling to find another great series and this one delivered! ā€œThis Manā€ is captivating, sexy, and keeps you on your toes from the start! I flew threw this book and immediately purchased the second one because I was so hooked. Iā€™ve read many reviews stating how unhealthy and unrealistic Ava and Jesseā€™s relationship is, which makes me laugh. Of course it is, if youā€™re looking for true relationship advice this is not the genre for you! There were countless times that I wanted to reach through my screen an smack some sense into Ava and Jesse, but those reviews that are rating the book low due to this is silly to me. If youā€™re old enough to be reading this, you should be well aware of what a healthy and stable relationship looks like.... enough said. Enjoy Jesse and Avaā€™s ride... itā€™s quite a wild one!

This man. Love this trilogy, if your looking for a crazy in love possessive passionate alpha male this is your book better then 50 shades in my opinion, only other series i can compare this to would be the real series. Awesome trilogy!!!!!!!!!!!!

The story is draining and very repetitive. No plot. Just lots of sex.. It's clear to the reader who Jesse is by the subtle clues she leaves. But it never advances from this point. It's stuck stagnant in a vicious repetitive cycle. They may not get enough of each but I have had enough of this sexual encounter ship. Enough is enough. I enjoy sex and eroticism but it's a bit much to read an endless array of chapters of nothing but sex. I've read enough sex in books to get the jest of their desire for each other. They are insatiable. All this chasing around and game playing is immature. Ava denies him and Jesse chases her. Yet the story never progresses further than this. The characters never develop beyond work and sex. Jesse refuses to let Ava walk away, but the story never clues you into why. Ava's a brat. Ava stomps and pouts and then pours a glass of wine. She drinks and parties too much for such a successful women. There are some quirky behavior issues by Jesse. He is possessive and over protective. He is determined to claim her with sex. It's ridiculous this cat and mouse game they play with each other. I am growing tired of the back and forth routine of catch and release. Should be named the marathon man. Jesse is insatiable. A man possessed over a bratty immature girl. I'm so drained from this constant fighting. Ava turns everything Jesse asks of her as relinquishing her control to him. She is over analyzing and over thinking every situation by labeling it as him being controlling. Ava is clouded by her obsession and attraction to Jesse. Sex is the only attraction she has because it's the only thing he has given and revealed of himself.

Great book and series. This trilogy is one of the best series I have ever read!

Waste of time and money!. I brought this book based on all the great reviews and in the end was soooo disappointed! I'm so confused as to why anyone would even like this book! Ava is completely stupid for allowing Jessie to be so possessive and abusive. The whole book just made me so mad!!!! Don't waste your money or time with this book! I will definitely not purchase the second book!

Love, love, love. Have this collection in paperback. Just had to read it again as it is amazing. šŸ‘šŸ½šŸ‘šŸ½

Love this book. I could bot put it down, cant wait to read the next onešŸ˜†

50 shades-ish. Another rich control freak who falls for a woman with image issues and doesn't live a sexually adventures life style. Ward was so controlling it made me feel sickly uncomfortable at times. There was no real love story just a lot of sex. Some of the sex scenes were really well written but the overall story would have been better if there was more of a sweet romantic relationship. If your looking for a book with good sex scenes that are a little naughty this is a good one pick for you.

Roller coaster!. Sigh....Mr Jesse Ward.

Disappointed. I see so many claim to love this series. It was really a book about Erotic sex thatā€™s it. No depth. I mean how many time does he have to say ā€œI love you in lace.ā€? Ava falls in love with a dominant man. She falls in love with him and never has single conversation outside of discussing sex with him. She has no backbone. She simply does whatever he tells her to do. She talks a good game in her inner monologue. Even if she tells him no he breathes on her and all she can think about is sex with him. He interferes with her job and she says donā€™t do that, he does it and sheā€™s like oh swoon I canā€™t think when he is near me. That is all there is too her. Why does almost every book have an annoying best friend? Kate hates the ex boyfriend for cheating on her best friend. Somehow she likes the abusive controlling Jesse. At one point she defies her best friend letting him in to the house because ā€œthe way he looks at you.ā€ Itā€™s cool he punched a hole in the wall but letā€™s leave the best friend alone with him. Jesse is simple abusive and childish if he doesnā€™t get his way he throws a tantrum. Never answers a single question Ava ask he touches her and she forgets she asked a question busy being turned on. Clearly there are a lot of secrets Ava notices but doesnā€™t end up saying anything because the sex is so amazing Jesse blinks and she is turned on forgetting the weird things going on around her. There was only one secret that came to light and that was at the end of the book so it ends in a cliff hanger. There were so many sex scenes I ended up skimming and looking for ā€œā€ marks so I hopefully I didnā€™t miss a conversation. I donā€™t know why it why was mainly donā€™t come yet. Or watch your Mouth.

šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ„µšŸ„µā˜ļøšŸ˜. Holy moly makes 50 shades weak! I need my own Jesse ward. Chemistry is off the charts. I read all three in 3 days! I want more!!!

Hooked!. Love this book! A must read! Who wouldn't love a story where a person is so in love it makes them crazy?! I can't wait to read the next 2 and more from the author!

Love!!!. These kinds of books are my absolute favorite, and JEM did not disappoint!! Jesse Ward is a little too extra, but thatā€™s what makes this series so great. I am ecstatic that JEM wrote the last and final book to bring an ending to the series. It was a rollercoaster of emotions!

Terrible.. I could not finish this book. There is obvious racism in the way she describes and treats the black man in the book and there is absolutely no chemistry between the two love interests. The man is controlling and blatantly ignores her when she refuses him sexually. I could not stand this book and there was nothing that made me want to continue reading it.

Amazing. If you are a fan of erotica, I highly recommend this book! I found it to be much better than 50 Shades and it has a better story

Terrible. Glorifying toxic relationships.. This book is written well. And thatā€™s literally the only positive thing I can say about it. While certain phrases and such are strange to include, overall itā€™s written well. And I donā€™t say this lightly as I know how difficult it is to write a book. With that being said. This book is atrocious. The characters are flatter than a sheet of paper. Thereā€™s the token gay guy, the fact that heā€™s ā€œsuuuuperā€ gay comes up literally every single time heā€™s mentioned as some sort of comic relief. Thereā€™s the spunky ā€œsmartā€ but dumb best friend who immediately becomes a cheerleader for what I can only say is the absolute WORST male love interest Iā€™ve ever read in my entire life. The protagonist is an absolute doormat, who finds herself in a toxic relationship against her will (or lack there of) this dude is so dreamy she literally goes dumb whenever she sees him. She canā€™t even form sentences. The male love interest is an absolute psycho. He stalks her, manipulates her, and bullies her into staying with him. He blames her for his mistakes, and everything else, and SHE FALLS FOR IT. Itā€™s like this author googled red flags in relationships and thought it was a great idea to put them all into one unlikeable guy who is so dreamy and rich that you wonā€™t even care that heā€™s literally holding you hostage. In conclusion, if you enjoy books that anger you to the point where you throw the book, your phone or tablet down in frustration this one is for you! I nearly lost a phone from all the times I slammed it down in anger. If you want a love story, I highly suggest something else as there is absolutely no love in this, only obsession. However, if you want a story to show you how NOT to write a character, this one is for you!

Best!!!. Best series I have ever read!!! I never review book... and Iā€™ve read the Fifty Shades books and the Crossfire books and wow these really are better!

Not good. Iā€™m guessing this is a Fifty Shades wanna be. But itā€™s really bad. I quite half way through to book.

Weak female. This book aggravated me. Manipulative male, weak female letā€™s guy stalk her and control her. Not my kinda book.

Love it. Love it!!

5 SMOLDERING HOT STARS!. I am ashamed to admit that I never heard of Jodi Ellen Malpas until a few months ago. I must have been living under a rock, but I am so happy to have found a new favorite author! This Man was a refreshing change to romance novels that I had been reading for many reasons, but mostly because it was a totally different writing style than what I was used to. The writing is flawless, unique, and had an easy flow. The story is set in London and I loved that Malpas made the setting authentic by using British slang. I laughed every time I read, "Bloody hell!" The sarcastic humor throughout truly made the story hilarious at times. I thoroughly enjoyed Ava's character. Working as an interior designer, she has a career to focus on. She is intelligent, sweet, and very similar to most twenty-something year olds. Malpas did a fantastic job at keeping Ava real. I was able to relate to her spunk and to her friendship with Kate. For me, she stood out amongst other heroines because of the inner conflict she had with getting involved with someone like Jesse Ward. She's not afraid to push back. Jesse Ward, Lord of the Manor...there were times when I wanted to smack him for being a total psychopath. Yet, I found myself loving him at the same time! His character will take you on a whirlwind of emotions. He's over the top for sure, but not in a cocky way. He's domineering and controlling, but only because he doesn't know how to handle his feelings for Ava. Their connection was instant and the relationship was riddled with obstacles. The cliffhanger left me speechless, and that's not an easy feat. But alas, as an author, I understand why they happen. I'm looking forward to finishing this series, and am particularly psyched about The Protector Series that is releasing later in the year. Overall, a smoldering 5 star read! Well done, Jodi Ellen Malpas - you have yourself another fan!

Abuse disguised as "love". I have NEVER written a review. But, after reading this series I felt compelled to do just that! These books must have been written by a man, or a woman who has some serious issues with her self esteem and romance life. SPOILER ALERT the main male character tells the leading lady in almost EVERY chapter that he has "the power". He yells at her, basically rapes her, and physically kidnaps her and the author tries to make it seem like those things are ok because the leading lady drives the male character "crazy mad". I keep using air quotes because those words are used ALL THE DANG TIME! Btw the leading lady's name is Ava. Now Ava says no a lot and she means it. But, for some reason Jesse (the male counter part) won't take no for an answer. So he stalks, controls, uses sex as a weapon, and even scares her friends and his so that they won't even step in to help her. These could've been great books. But, they weren't. I read all 3 to see if the author ever gives Ava "the power" or gives them equal footing like Fifty Shades of Grey, but NOPE! I HATE these books. Jesse owns a High class pleasure palace yet gets super mad when a guy just talks to Ava. Makes no sense. It's like a stripper getting mad her boyfriend went to a strip club. If for some reason you start to read these books after reading this review..... you have issues. Lol there were some parts I liked but that was like 5% of each book. Kudos for the Author for making money, but F$@k you author for making it seem ok to treat women as property or like animals. Please read your own books Jodi. Unless that's just a cover name and you're actually a dude. If that's the case I say again.... F$@k you.

Boring and cringey. Thereā€™s so much unnecessary events throughout the book. I practically skim through the pages. Simply put, Ava lacks of feminism and Jesse is a misogynist.

LOVE... This series is nothing but firešŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„. Iā€™ve loved this book so much Iā€™ve got it in paperback & I have read this book 4 times already, and still want to pick it up & read it, just to fall back in love with Ava & Jesse Ward story all over again. Long live the Lord of the Manor. šŸ‘‘šŸ˜

Really good enjoyed it. Loved it

Love it!!. This story of Jessie was the best I'd read in a while couldn't put it down.....funny and lots of turns. Jessie dancing to JT music.. Hiding BC pills. Loved it!!!

Canā€™t even force myself to finish it. Jesse is way too controlling and manipulative! The whole relationship is toxic and frustrating to read. Uses sex to constantly get what he wants, refuses to answer any personal questions about himself, and bullies Ava into complete compliance. Ava starts as a strong and confident woman but gets down to get a weak and small woman. Disappointing book. Theres should be a trigger warning in the front for women that had their own Real-life Jesse! Why is this a New York Times best-seller again??

So, so bad.. I wish I could give negative stars because this book doesn't even deserve a one start review. Absolutely terrible. I mean bad bad bad. Couldn't even finish it. I want my money back.

Eh.. Not a fan. Itā€™s a dupe of the Cross series. Ava is annoying, sheā€™s always crying, or indecisive and never has a reason. And I feel like Jesse tries to hard. Idk this series isnā€™t for me but Iā€™ll finish this book since I paid for it.

Awful. I have never seen a more spineless woman then Ava. He cheats on her. He doesnā€™t let her go anywhere without him. But yet she takes him back every time.once . One of the worst books I ever read. Donā€™t waste money on this awful book!!!! Awful Awful book!!!!

Offensive. ā€œ... I search my brain trying to remember if I transferred my RAPE alarm to my new handbag.ā€ Said by the heroine after meeting a BLACK man in chapter one. Really?!! And I paid for this. šŸ˜ 

Alright. I gave this book three stars because the writing is really quite good. The storyline and characters really will get on your nerves and make you want to not finish reading the book, but you continue because you want to see what happens. I donā€™t think Iā€™m going to read the second book just because the storyline didnā€™t really attach me enough to spend $8 again. I will say the reviews for this book is 100% dramatic. Itā€™s not a horrible book. The writing itself just how I like it. I just didnā€™t like the story itself. Donā€™t let the other reviews about abuse sway you about this book. He never abused heršŸ™„.

Horrible!!!!. I have yet to finish it.... I got sick of Jesse's over the top dominance... He is abusive and in no way a trait to be thought as sexy in a man. The author has taken the "alpha male" cliche role to such an extreme were he is constantly accosting, manhandling and stalking the female protagonist. How is that sexy?? And the book is part of a trilogy? Are you kidding me??

Awful. This book is awful! The main character is annoying and stupid. The man in the book is creepy and intense is a dangerous bad way. HATE this book. dont waste your money on it!

The end is too bad. Surreal This is a physic drama

Yaaaaaaasssss. A million times YES! This book is amazing (and I'm an avid romance reader). However, this book will keep you on your toes and having you begging for more! Love!!!

Um?. All I can say that is being a stalker is not cute. I don't really see how women can find this sexy. I was scared for her when she was tricked into going to the mansion. I like possessive men but to some degree. This was creepy.

Dont do it!. DONT DO IT!

Pulls you in!. I went a long while without being able to find a book that I found interesting or enticing in some way or another. However, once I saw this book something caught my eye and I downloaded it immediately. I didnā€™t exactly know what to expect when going into it, but I am very glad I gave it a shot! The story has a lot of meaningful ā€˜lessonsā€™ so to speak behind it. Abusive powers and manipulative behaviors are two of the major conflicting ā€˜predicamentsā€™ that do somewhat repeat throughout the book. With the authorā€™s grammar and vocabulary use, the minimal repetitiveness is no problem at all. Everything was so descriptive and it pulled me in and made it nearly impossible for me to stop reading to take a break. I have never been so interested / sucked into a book like I was with this one. Iā€™m super excited to read the next two!

I couldn't even finish. I wanted to enjoy this but instead of being a hot romance, it is a dysfunctional relationship that reminds me of stories of domestic abuse. I'd really like my money back.

Finally. Had me hooked and kept me hooked

Love Love Love. Amazing Trilogy...finally a trilogy worth reading since 50 Shades.

This Man. I have read this series so many times Iā€™ve lost count!! These books by far are my favorite trilogy... Jesse Ward is an unforgettable alpha and Ava is an unforgettable amazing match for him!! The two of them have chemistry like no other book coupe, and I absolutely loved these books.. 5 big bright shining stars šŸŒŸ šŸŒŸšŸŒŸšŸŒŸšŸŒŸ

Awesome. Could not put it down. Very intense and lots of twists and turns. Only complaint is that's too much if the same intensity. Would recommend

Love it!. Great series! Could not put the book down.

Ugh. There's a reason why this book is only $0.99. Don't bother.

GREAT. Soooo good!!!! Must read . Can't wait for the third

This Man. Iā€™m all for a sexual romantic book, but the man in this book has screaming red flags. I donā€™t care how much he wants this woman, the controlling behaviour is not acceptable. Can barely get through this book without wanting to put him in his place, and smack the woman upside the head for allowing him to treat her this way. And a woman writing this way??? Now that surprises me. Women should have more pride in themselves than to think this kind of relationship is ok or healthy.

Good value. For the price paid for all three, it was well worth it!

29SU. The best

Omg. Loved it starting next one right away

intense. I thought i would have a hard attack reading this book. Really good.

HAWWWT - yum!. Couldn't put it down. Well written, great sex scenes, hawwwt!

Please wait! This Man book comments loading...
