About this ebook
If you don't know where to turn next after Fifty Shades: welcome to the sensual world of This Man, the first book in the international million-copy bestselling series...
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 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.
Includes a brand-new bonus scene from Jesse's perspective.

I couldn't stomach the way Ava is so weak to a man who has taken control of her life. Aca is presented as love sick and just his touch she loses her mind even though Jesse is clearly a control freak and dare I say a psychopath. She can't even get her thoughts out and as soon as he touches her she's putty. Ava is not the kind of woman to set a good example and therefore I got bored rather quickly

Personally i don't think this is any where near as good as fifty shades. Just bored me. Got to about 240 pages and couldn't read anymore.

jesse is amazing, he is possessive, stubborn, sexy anddddddddd controlling ...... this story is 100 times better than fifty shades because it has a story and the sex scenes are amazing, it always makes you begging for more. Ava is stubborn and always fighting jesse with his demands and his controlling ways. Read all 3 books in a day. And let me say this has to be the best erotic series ever and trust me i've read soooo many.
