‘This Man’, released
in PB 10 October 2013
This Man: Young interior designer Ava O’Shea has no idea what
awaits her at the Manor. A run-of-the-mill consultation with a mature country
gent seems likely, but nothing could have prepared her for Jesse Ward - a
devastatingly handsome, utterly confident, pleasure-seeking playboy who has no
boundaries. Ava does not want to be attracted to this man, and yet she cannot
control the overwhelming desire that he stirs in her. She knows that her heart
will never survive him and her instinct is telling her to run, but Jesse is not
willing to let her go. He wants her, and he is determined to have her.
“The end of This Man had me reeling for days. Hell, weeks if I’m honest…
The wait for
Beneath This Man felt long and torturous" - SubClub Books
‘Beneath This
Man’, released in PB 24 October 2013
Beneath
This Man: Jesse Ward drowned her with his intensity and blind sighted her
with his passion, but his confident demeanour told nothing of the dark secrets
and the broken soul that lay beneath the surface. Ava O’Shea felt that leaving him
was the only way she could survive, but she should have known that Jesse would
be impossible to escape. Now he’s back in her life, determined to remind her of
the sensual pleasures that they shared, but Ava is equally determined to get at
the truth beneath this man’s steely exterior. That means letting herself get
close to the Lord of the Manor once more. And that’s exactly where Jesse wants
her—where she’s most vulnerable - within touching distance…
“The second book of a trilogy is
traditionally the weakest, it’s neither a beginning or an end, and can often be
just filler, but that is NOT the case here. This book just blew me away” – Sinfully Sexy Book Reviews
This Man
Confessed: At the very place where their passionate love affair began, The
Manor fills with guests on what should be the happiest day of Ava and Jesse’s
lives. She has accepted that she’ll never tame the fierceness in Jesse, and she
doesn't want to. Their love is profound, their connection powerful, but just
when she thinks that she’s finally got beneath his guarded exterior, more
questions arise which lead Ava to believe that Jesse Ward may not be the man
she thinks he is. He knows too well how to take her to a place beyond
ecstasy…but will he also drive her to the brink of despair? It’s time for this
man to confess.
“Jodi hit a homerun with Confessed.
Pure class! This series just got better and better with each installment and is
without doubt one of my all-time favourite trilogies.” - TotallyBooked Blog
