Publisher's summary

The follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Mister, a passionate and thrilling love story from E L James, author of the phenomenal bestselling Fifty Shades Trilogies.

Alessia regards her husband through heavy-lidded eyes.

You'll have to fight for him. Her mother's words from their call this morning ring through her head. And fight, she will. Using every available weapon she has.

She loves him. She knows this. She wants him.

And she wants him to want her.

What happens once the glass slipper fits…?

Maxim Trevelyan, reluctant Earl of Trevethick, has pursued the woman he loves to the wilds of Albania. Having fought for and won her, he now has to wed her, at the sharp end of a shotgun.

But can a reformed rake like Maxim ever make a good husband―or will his own notorious reputation and the scandalous secrets of his aristocratic family destroy his newfound happiness?

Alessia Demachi has defied and outwitted kidnappers and traffickers, and won the heart of the man she loves, but can she make this marriage work? Confronted by Maxim's lurid past, his forbidding family, and the looks and whispers of London's elite, will she ever be seen as Maxim's countess―or will she always be his former cleaner?

From the majestic mountains of Albania, through the rural idyll of the English countryside, to the shady glamour of contemporary London, The Missus is a spellbinding journey of love, longing, acceptance, and redemption.

Hmm…

I’m not so sure how I feel about the story, while the narrators were awesome as for the story it could have had a little more depth and just a bit less on her insecurities I’m afraid to say it but here it goes Fifty Shades had more of a plot than these books but, in no way takes away that the story was good so now I wait for another of her fabulous books to come up soon I hope 🥰

The World Needs More Love!

I enjoyed the continuation of the story line from The Mister…it’s a wonderful love story…if only the world could learn to embrace all people…it would be a much better place…after all we all want the same thing to be loved and accepted…

The missus

Alessia and Maxim are staying at her parents in Albania after her really horrible kidnapping. They are planning their wedding and maxim can't wait for her to be his bride. They both wonder how life will be once they return to London where he is Earl of Trevethick. Will his family and staff think of her as the lady of the house? Great read.
