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.

This Man (This Man #1) by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Young interior designer Ava O’Shea has an appointment for a first consultation at The Manor with the owner, Mr Jesse Ward. She is expecting nothing more than an overweight, cravat wearing, well-to-do countryman, and on arrival, nothing would suggest otherwise. How wrong could she be? This Man is devastatingly handsome, charming and confident. He is also a conceited, hedonistic playboy, who knows no boundaries. Ava desperately does not want to be attracted to him, but she can’t control the overwhelming affect he has on her. Every instinct is telling her to run, so she does, but Jesse Ward is not so willing to let her go. He wants her and is determined to have her. She knows she is heading for heartbreak, but how can she run when he won’t let her?

Ok, ladies. Let me introduce, to those of you that dont know, Mr Jesse Ward.

Every now and then, you will stumble across a book that quite literally sweeps you away. For me, This Man swept me away. I read books like they are going out of fashion. The This Man trilogy is in my top five.

Here we have the story of Jesse and Ava. Shes a 26 year old interior designer and he is the owner of a very luxurious hotel, The Manor. She gets requested to visit about the possibility of doing a renovation job at The Manor. It is there that these two meet for the first time. The immediate attraction thay these two people share is intense to say the least.

Jesse wants Ava, badly.

Ava wants Jesse too. But there are many reasons that persuade her she must stay away from this man.

Unfortunately for Ava, Jesse refuses to let her run from him and persues her until she breaks down and gives in to her desires.

And so begins a very passionate love affair.

There are so many amazing features about this book it would take me forever to list but heres a few...

Jodi's writing style is superb. This is the debut book from this author and she has set her own bar very high. The book is written 1st person from Ava's POV. The way she writes down every emotion and feeling that Ava has is inspiring.

Jesse Ward is quite possibly the most amazing man to ever grace the book world. He is arrogant, possessive, passionate and god damn beautfiul. He craves Ava like she is a drug to him.

The sex scenes are plentiful and very well detailed and written. But, there is also great substance to the story outside of the bedroom scenes.

I loved the mystery surrounding Jesse's age. He starts at 21 and ages a year everytime she asks him again.

Guys this is such a brilliant book and start to the trilogy. Dont delay in scooping this gem up.

Without a doubt, a 5* book. Hell i'd give it 6* if i could.

Twisted Perfection release date April 23rd

Ok guys, the third book of the Never too far series "Twisted Perfection" by Abbi Glines is scheduled for release on april 23rd. Excited much? Yesss!

This book moves its focus away from Rush and Blaire. And we get woods' story....

Life outside of her house was a new experience for Della Sloane. The dark secrets of her past weren’t something she ever intended to share with anyone. They would never understand. No one would ever get close enough to find out. Besides there was always a chance she’d go crazy sooner than they expected…

Woods Kerrington had never been one to be attracted to fragile females. They seemed like too much work. He wasn’t in it for the work just the pleasure. A night full of naughty fun had been exactly what was on his mind when he’d laid eyes on the hot little number that didn’t know how to pump gas and needed some help.

What he didn’t know was she was as fragile as they came.

The carefree girl who spoke her mind and didn’t care what the world thought of her was more breakable than he could ever imagine…


This cannot come quick enough!

Just for Now (Sea Breeze #4) by Abbi Glines

The day Preston Drake figured out that wealthy women paid well for a set of tight abs and a pretty face his life turned around.

The run down rat-infested trailer he had shared with his alcoholic mother and three younger siblings was now only a place he visited to pay the bills and stock the pantry with food.

He no longer worried about his family starving or living without electricity. The money he made entertaining rich older women more than covered his family’s needs and his own. He had it all figured out. Except…

There was this girl.

She was as innocent as he was tainted.

Amanda Hardy wished her knees didn’t get weak when Preston walked into a room. She hated the fact her heart raced when he flashed his smile in her direction. He had a different girl in his bed every night. He was the kind of boy a smart girl ran from. So, why was she coming up with ways to get close to him? Even when it was obvious he wanted to keep her at a distance.

Maybe her heart knew something the world didn’t. Maybe Preston Drake was more than just a pretty face.

Oh my days! I loved loved loved this book. Preston Drake is one of my favourite characters ever.

This is without a doubt my favourite Sea Breeze book. Following the trend in this series, of getting better each book. It just does!

Here we have the gorgeous Preston and the young naive Amanda. This young girl has literally been crushing on Preston her entire teenage years. To him, she was his best friend's kid sister for the majority of them. Until... Amanda grows up.

Suddenly she becomes his forbidden fruit. The one thing he wants but doubts he could ever have or be good enough for. Unfortunately for Preston, Amanda wants him too and does not make it easy for him to resist her.

When they do get together, it is electric! It it is also a shame that he is hiding a secret from Amanda that could destroy any chance of them having a future together.

The chemistry between these two characters is flipping brilliant. The sex scenes were just HOT ;)

Abbi is doing what she does best in this book. Writing lust and passion.

My advice? Read this book.

4.5*

While is lasts (Sea Breeze #3) by Abbi Glines

Maybe driving home after a few (or more) shots of tequila had been a bad idea, but hell, he did it all the time. The cops had to have been freaking bored to have pulled him over. He wasn’t even swerving! That’s Cage York’s story and he’s sticking to it.

Unfortunately, his baseball coach isn’t buying it. Cage has a free ride to the local junior college for baseball -- or he did, until he’d gotten a DUI. Now, Cage has to decide: does he drop out and give up his dream of getting noticed by a college in the SEC, and possibly making it into the Major Leagues -- or does he give in to his coach’s demands and spend his summer baling hay?

Eva Brooks planned out her life step by step when she was eight years old. Not once over the years had she lost sight of her goals. Josh Beasley, her next door neighbor, had been the center of those goals. He’d been her first boyfriend at seven, her first kiss at ten, her first date at fifteen, and her first tragedy at eighteen. The moment she’d received the phone call from Josh’s mother saying he’d been killed along with four other soldiers just north of Baghdad, Eva’s carefully planned life imploded in the worst way possible.

Cage isn’t real happy with his closet-sized bedroom in the back of a foul smelling barn, or his daily interactions with cows, but he knows that if he doesn’t make his coach happy then he can kiss his scholarship goodbye. Only a sick and twisted man would decide his punishment was to be working on a farm all summer. No hot babes in bikinis waiting to meet a Southern boy to make her vacation complete. Just him and the damned cows.

Oh -- and an uptight, snarky brunette with the biggest blue eyes he’s every seen. But she doesn’t count, because as hard as he’s tried to charm her out of her panties - he’s pretty sure she’d rather see him hung from the rafters than let him get a taste of her pretty little lips.

Here we have the third book in the Sea Breeze Series by Abbi. And boy did she deliver wth this story!!! It was like the first two books were warm up books in preparation for this.

We have the story focusing on Cage and Eva. Let me inform you... Cage is as hot as they come. And When Eva catches his eye sparks fly! The chemistry between these characters was on point. And the build up was amazing.

I loved the setting for the book and it was also different that for the majority of it Cage and Eva were not around the characters that have featured heavily in the previous books.

This is YA at its best. It delivered!

Give this book a read, be pleasantly surprised.

I rate this book an easy 4*
