Publisher's 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.

Ava needs a slap.

I haven't wanted to slap a a character so bad before. There is a point were is control of her stop being hot. She was stupid and her best friend has no loyalty to her in my opinion. I didn't care about any of the characters because they were all annoying.

"Jesse cloud nine"

What did you love best about This Man?

I've read the"This Man" trilogy in print and loved it! I thought I would give an audio book a try during my long commutes in the car to distract me. So I decided to try something I loved when I read to see how it lived up to being told to me.... Well I was not disappointed. I found myself completely absorbed in the story & found myself smiling, laughing & really enjoying the story as if the characters were real. I wasn't sure about audio books in general.. But this was fun & involving as the print book was!!!

What about Edita Brychta’s performance did you like?

I thought she was great!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes I laughed & smiled a lot!!!

Love this book

Would you listen to This Man again? Why?

Yes I would. I read this book sometime ago and actually spent the money to add the narration and for me it made it all the more better. Wish his part was spoken by a man but overall it heightened my love the book and the character Jesse :-)

What did you like best about this story?

The male character. He is overwhelming but you can feel his sincere feelings for his love

What does Edita Brychta bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

the emotions when they are sexual.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed I cried and felt sorry for them both but happy at the same time.

Any additional comments?

The storyline may be a little far fetched for some people but that is what i like when im reading a book. I want the far fetched fantasy of the unattainable. I love the roller coaster ride
