Publisher's summary

The Manor—the heartbeat of hedonism and pleasure, the place where Jesse Ward lost himself for years in women and alcohol, escaping his past—was his life. His everything. Until the day Ava O’Shea walked through the doors and Jesse discovered something else to live for.

Her.

Their love affair was passionate, intense, and all-consuming. She became his heaven. His escape. And eventually, his downfall. When Ava walked away from him, he was destroyed, even more broken than before.

But she’s come back, and Jesse vows never to lose her again.

Except Ava’s only scratched the surface of his broken soul, and as their relationship intensifies and their love deepens, Jesse’s pushed to the brink of insanity when his past creeps into his present and risks destroying everything.

They will never survive his truths, and Jesse will never survive losing Ava again.

So he’ll do anything to shield her from his dark, soul-destroying past.

Absolutely anything.

Love me a good Jesse story

Love Jesse and Ava. They are over the top crazy in love and Jesse has some monumental baggage. Their story is a crazily emotional, tortuous and toxic journey to a better place…together. So much healing to be done. So many trust issues. But together their love blossoms and hurdles become less obstructive to a healthier, happier relationship. Personal growth and acceptance.

Jodi has done it again!

There aren't enough words in the English language to describe this story! Absolutely loved hearing Jesse & Ava's love story from Jesse's POV. I actually find Jesse's POV so much more interesting than from Ava's. I loved listening to the story from her POV, but with Jesse, my heart just breaks for him. His back story is interesting, heart breaking and you can feel how much he loves Ava & wants a normal happy life with her. He just needs to face his demons and overcome them and Ava gives him the strength to do that. JEM is one of my very favorite authors and I have listened to all of her books, but the This Man series is by far my very very favorite. And who doesn't love hearing Shane as the voice of Jesse! I highly recommend to anyone to read this series & fall in love with The Lord of the Manor! Can't wait for the next book. Amazing.....who has the power?????

I think the gap has made this better.

Listening to this has led a whole new dimension to this love story. I think the gap in time has made this better. It prompted me to go back and read the story from Ava's point of view again.

Another 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️♥️

Another Eoic performance from Shane. I love these series of Jessie and Ava. The characters are all fantastic. JEM is one it my favorite authors. I own most of her books and audios. She is an automatic click. I’m looking forward to the Sarah debacle in book 3. Jessie and Ava were meant to be with their toxic crazy life. Thank you for another 5star listen♥️

This wasn’t just a retelling from Jesse’s POV. It had so much more insight into Jesse and Ava’s story. If you’re a fan of this series this is a must read! JEM did it again!

Dramatic, powerful, and completely complicated.

With this Woman is book two in the trilogy that is based on the original books in the This Man series, but now told from Jesse's POV (the main male character.) Even after having devoured the original books years ago and still knowing the full story, this book brings with it an entirely new perspective (literally and figuratively) of this incredibly complicated and generally toxic relationship. It's like the train wreck that you see coming but just can't look away. If you have read/listened to the original books and think that you already know the story so you don't need this one, think again. This retelling from Jesse's POV is painful, eye opening, and totally mesmerizing.

Shane East brings his A game and gives one of his most impressive, powerful, and emotional performances to date. This is a must listen, and even as amazing a storyteller as Jodi Ellen Malpas is, Shane's performance takes this book to a level that is beyond all expectations. I give this a 10 star rating on a 5 star scale. Waiting with bated breath for This Woman Forever!
