A thrilling romance from E L James, author of the phenomenal #1 bestselling Fifty Shades trilogy

London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face.

But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past. Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own?

From the heart of London through wild, rural Cornwall to the bleak, forbidding beauty of the Balkans, The Mister is a roller-coaster ride of danger and desire that leaves the reader breathless to the very last page.

I loved it and I can't wait for the next book two thumbs up hoping it's released soon

Excellent

On so I thought Caroline was going to be more of a problem than what she ended up being , but man that bit©h did make me grind my teeth. The Story was a good one would of liked more of the story but it didn't end in the middle of sh!t either. It's a HFN , you can believe what ya want to . It's a bit of an epic journey & in the end we do get there. Diffently worth the listen to as I enjoyed the story .

I loved the accents and music

This is the story of a young woman who lived in Albania with a family that has very traditional beliefs - women are suppressed and men rule. Alessia has been betrothed to man that she thought would be her happy ever after one day but he has an ugly side to him, one that she is in fear of. The only way to get out of the upcoming marriage is to leave Albania. However, things go horribly wrong for her and she ends up in a fight for survival before she eventually makes it to a safe haven in London.

Maxim Trevelyan had a privileged and wealthy upbringing. He hasn’t really had to work for anything. However, he is now mourning the loss of his brother Kit. Maxim will now inherit the title of his late brother plus all of the wealth that goes along with it. The weight of what is now expected of him is weighing him down and also a few silly decisions. Maxim has always been a bit of player and never has trouble finding a willing bed partner. This all changes when he lays eyes on Alessia.

Alessia has recently started a new cleaning job for the wealthy Mr Maxim Trevelyan and her favourite part of the job is occasionally playing on his piano when he is not home. She has been playing the piano since she was a young child and it’s one of the things she misses from her life in Albania. When Maxim discovers Alessia playing, he is completely in awe and spellbound by her incredible musical talent. Her breathtaking beauty also captures his attention but se is reluctant to even look him in the eye.

Alessia is convinced that she will be fired and has no idea what she will do without this job. She is shocked when Maxim encourages her to play as often as she likes and seems to want to engage in conversation with her. When danger comes looking for her, Maxim steps up like a knight in shining armour and makes her feel safe and protected. She has met a man like him and after years of being conditioned to submit to men, his kindness is a bit unnerving.

Maxim is struggling with the feelings he is now experiencing every time he is with Alessia, her naivety and innocence holds him back from pushing for anything more. However, Alessia is giving him all the signals that she is feeling the same way too. Has Maxim finally found the woman he wants to gives his heart to?

Although this is a romance story, there is an element of suspense weaved into it too. Alessia learns that you really can’t outrun your past and Maxim learns that secrets will always find their way to the surface, no matter how hard he tries to bury them.

Overall I really enjoyed this story. I listened to the audio version and I loved how the accents and music gave me even more depth to the story being told.

Love it

Really interesting,I loved the readers voice,it’s so enchanting and makes you have an imaginative picture of what you’re listening to.

This story needed an epilogue

Am I the only one who feels cheated out of an epilogue? these characters went through a roller coaster of an affair and now that all is settled and they've got their HEA, I can't help but NEED to know what happened next? what happens when he informs his mum 🤕? what happens when their return to London? how does she cope her new life as Duchess? does she do anything with her amazing talent? soooo many questions left unanswered

Not what I expected

Sadly didn`t do much for me, story wasn't anything exciting but I did enjoy the narrators very much.

Average

Alessia, running from the horrors of her past, works as a housekeeper for the playboy Maxim. He falls for her and realises too late she has some dangerous people after her.

This was an ok love story. It was sweet and predictable but nothing mind blowing. I liked that there were separate male and female narrators for the two main character perspectives.
