Beneath This Man (This Man #2) by Jodi Ellen Malpas

She knew she was heading towards disaster. Every instinct told her to run, but Jesse Ward was a hard man to escape.

It has been five days’ since Ava O’Shea left Jesse drunk and raging at Lusso – left behind a man who drowned her in his intensity and blindsided her with his touch. Getting over this man was never going to be easy. And now he’s back in her life.

She has questions she needs answering, but her determination to get these answers will give the pleasure-seeking playboy the power to destroy her again. She needs to keep her eyes wide open and caution at the forefront of her mind, an ambitious intention when Jesse Ward is within touching distance. And he plans to be.

He’s dark, he’s broken – Ava knows this, but the only way to find out how dark and how broken is to get beneath the steely exterior of this man.

Catapult me to central Jesse cloud nine... The Lord is back!

Here we have the second offering from the 'This Man' trilogy. Does it get better? Yes it does!

The book begins five days after Ava walked out in Jesse. In true reflection of their relationship, the story picks up at full speed thrusting the reader back into this fantastic read.

Things I loved about this book...

Jesse. Can this man become any more alluring? Yes he can. He is such a complex character with so many sides to his personality it can be hard to keep up. Just when I was certain of how he would react to certain situations, he would do the unexpected and shock me. His behaviour often borderlines on CRAZY. But he is so madly in love with Ava, even I started responding to his his crazy reactions like it was perfectly normal.

In the first book, Ava managed to keep her wits about her whilst Jesse was flying off the handle at pretty much every situation thrown at him. It would appear in this story that Ava's sanity stayed in book one. Shes most certainly 'crazy in love' with The Lord this time around.

And hooray! We finally find out Jesse's age.

This is a passionate captivating story about a love so intense it could make or break you. I couldnt put it down.

I rated this book an easy 5*

Im now left waiting, rather impatiently for the last book from this trilogy This Man Confessed.
