Gabi and Cheyenne's review posted on Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 4.5 STARS & 5 STARS 
 Gabi- 
 In all seriousness Ms. Jodi Ellen Malpas you owe approximately $50.00 for the new panties/knickers I had to buy when reading this book. She made a man so sexy I couldn't think straight at times. And the scenes themselves were blushable at the very least. I couldn't put this book down from start to finish and the times I've re-read this book have been the same. This is by far one of my all time favorite books. 
 Let's start with Mr. Jesse Ward. He's British, blond, tall and sexy. He's a playboy who owns a sex club called the Manor. So you can guarantee he knows what he's doing in the bedroom (or kitchen, or elevator, or anywhere really). He's also very overwhelming and possessive, he's manipulating to get what he wants. He's high strung, and forceful when he needs to be. But other times he's sweet, charming and makes you want to snuggle with him. I've never read a character that made me want to slap them while rubbing up against them at the same time. 
 Then there is Ava. Poor Ava gets a bad rep. I really didn't like her in this book. But at times I truly felt for her. Here she is in her 20's and her career is taking off. She just got out of relationship that took over most of her adult life so she wants to live independently. She tries to do casual with Jesse but he finds a way to put himself in her life drastically at every turn. He almost has no choice but to rebel at every turn because she just wants to be free. Then there are the times I liked most about her when she would purposely taunt Jesse. She loved being thrown over his shoulder and carried around who wouldn't with him right? 
 JEM found a way to make her characters shine truly. Not just Jesse and Ava but I loved Kate and Sam. They made me laugh and smile at every turn. Sarah was written to be hated and she owns it. I also found that I loved the British sayings thrown in. JEM gave readers awesome new bedroom antics, like a reminder f***k, or a sense f***k. How about the eclair and the term ish. JEM truly made this all American girl start saying random things like asking my husband If he wants to "make friends", or threatening to kick someone's arse in rush hour traffic. I have been seriously trampled! I can't wait to review the next book Beneath this man.

 This Man is sexy. 
 This Man is dominant. 
 This Man will make you want to rip your clothes off one minute and the next slap him across the face. 
 This Man is Jesse Ward and he my friends, is a man that is just as sexy as Christian Grey or Gideon Cross and this man ranks right up there in both sex appeal and dominance. 
 Why oh why did I wait so long to read this series? I have shamelessly had This Man on my kindle for a while now, always passing it over because I knew once I began this series I would be drawn in and not want to put these books down once I started. And that is exactly what happened. Good lord almighty I was sucked in to Jesse Ward's trap and I didn't want to stop after finishing This Man. 
 Now were there moments when I was pissed off, almost throwing my Kindle off the wall in frustration and anger, hell yes there was. Just ask my fellow reviewers of the numerous posts I posted regarding all things This Man, I guarantee they were jumping for joy when I finished the book, and let's not forget people this was only book one. Did I fall in love with Jesse Ward, yes I did, even when I wanted to hate him. I just couldn't. Now, I will admit that I hated Ava pretty much from the start, she rubbed me the wrong way with how bitchy and judgmental she was at times. And don't even get me going on "ish", I may cause violence if you do. Even writing this review, thinking about her is making me angry all over again. You would think with such a hatred of her I would hate the book, but nope I actually really, really liked it. It made me feel a variety of emotions and that is what a great book does. 
 There is just something about This Man that draws you in and fans of Fifty Shades of Grey and the Crossfire series will love This Man as well.
