This Woman

This Man: The Story from Jesse, Book 1

By: Jodi Ellen Malpas

Narrated by: Shane East

Jesse Ward has stumbled through life drinking and indulging himself within the rooms of his high-class sex club, The Manor, numbing himself to the pain, grief, and guilt of his wrongs. Pleasure and alcohol are his medicine. Hedonism is all he knows. It’s how he copes. How he survives.

Until Ava O’Shea strolls into his office and knocks him back with her breathtaking beauty, ambition, and drive. It only takes one look into her eyes, one touch of her skin, and one word murmured, before his heart is kick-started, offering him something he never thought possible. A distraction from his daily torment. A semblance of peace.

Women never reject Jesse Ward. They fall at his feet, melt from his charismatic, devious smile, and obey his every salacious command. All except the one woman who unwittingly becomes his obsession and the only thing that can keep him from the brink of self-destruction. He needs Ava and will do anything to have her. Even hide every last skeleton in his large closet. Because the truth could destroy them both.

The Lord of The Manor is back

10 years without Jesse Ward was painful but This Woman has brought on all those feelings and the narration by Shane East has made the wait worthwhile. Jodi Ellen Malpas did not disappoint. Jesse’s POV has ripped my heart open and now I have another year to wait for the rest of my favorite Lord’s story. A MUST read - Ladies you will not be disappointed!! Thank you JEM, a true wizard with words. Shane East your voice will always be Jesse to me. ❤️😍🥰

So very good

I love the This Man series told from Ava’s point of view. This Woman is told from Jesse’s point of view in all his 7ucked-up-ness. Enlightening, endearing, eye-rolling, and gut-wrenching. I was literally crying at the end despite knowing exactly what was going to happen. This Woman allows us to not just see Jesse’s tortured spirit, it allows you to feel every ounce of his insecurity and pain. I honestly need more of Hesse’s story.

omg !!!!!

how could you be so cruel and end this story that way. omg!!!! if I didn't read all the "this man" series I would feel so gipped. thank God I know Jessie lives and goes on to marry Eva and have a wonderful life together. so sorry for the spoiler. but like I said you could have went ONE MORE CHAPTER.

❤️loved it😍

WOW!!! Let me start with, there is NOTHING that Shane East narrates that can be bad…. So, Loving HIS point of view. Lets us truly understand his internal suffering and how much he struggles. It breaks my heart 🥺. Waiting on the next book to find out what happens.

Holy S**t

I thought This Man was amazing, but was woefully wrong! Shane East delivers a spot on interpretation of Jesse delivering gut wrenching lines. Hate that I have to wait so long for Book 2!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Speechless! 🫳🏽🎤

I’m a huge fan of Jodi’s and absolutely love her work. I’ve read the first 4 books of the series and seriously didn’t think there was a need to retell the first 3 books in Jesse’s POV, since they were SO good and told the story of Ava and Jesse perfectly. BOY WAS I WRONG… First of all, you had me at Shane East, a man who’s voice alone has me obsessively craving for more. Narrator A+++. This POV had just the right amount of Jesse’s history prior to meeting Ava, and a double dose of the crazy, loving, sexy, obsessive, controlling/dominant Jesse we’ve come to ❤️. JODI!!! please hurry up releasing With this Woman (next book) before I DIE of impatience!!!! 🥰🤩👍🏽

love love love

I love the books and the audio did not disappoint! I can't wait forthe next!

10 stars

This is my first book by this author, so I also haven’t read the rest of the series. Yet. Because I got them immediately after finishing this book. IT IS SO GOOD. Bring tissues.

Fantastic!!!

What a great retelling from the male character’s point of view. I hope she does the whole series. Loved every minute of it!

I read This Man too

I read This Man when it came out and it’s always great to read the other side of the story.
