About this listen

Welcome to the sensual world of 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 stodgy country gent seems likely, but what Ava finds instead is Jesse Ward - a devastatingly handsome, utterly confident, pleasure-seeking playboy who knows no boundaries.

Ava doesn't want to be attracted to this man, and yet she can't control the overwhelming desire 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 is determined to have her.

Would you consider the audio edition of This Man to be better than the print version?

Yes I would- I had read the trilogy twice on my kindle before I listened to this audio version and I found that the narration added even more to my enjoyment of the trilogy

Who was your favorite character and why?

Impossible to pick between the two main characters. Both so well developed by the author that they enthral you, irritate you, annoy you and captivate you.

Have you listened to any of Edita Brychta’s other performances? How does this one compare?

No

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Too many to pick just one. I think Ava's total confusion over Jesse and her feelings for him

Brilliant start to a fantastic trilogy

I've read book and never thought I would enjoy an audio version which is handy for when I'm in the car. The narrator was very good. Audio opened up a whole new reading world

Brilliant story doesn’t take long to get invested in all the characters. Although it took me awhile to adjust to the narrator, could not picture Ava with a posh voice it just did not compute! The accent slides luckily the further you get into it and Ava becomes more believable. Looking forward to part two.

I love love love this book. We all like the idea of a hero and after the realese of 50 shades a lot of women like the idea of a dominant man in their lives. Jessie Ward deliver's this in spades but he also shows a insecure side that could easily turn him into an abusive arse . Jodi Ellen Malpas manages to balance this character to make you love and hate him at the same time. Eva O'Shea I like she's strong and fiesty but complaments Jessies character well. The complimentary characters of Kate,Sam,Victoria, Drew, Sally and Tom who is a fantastically funny guy and your typical GBF makes for a story with highs lows and lots of laugh out louds. Edita Brycta does a excellent job of separating the characters using slight lilts and varried depth to get voice I will read the other two books in the series to see what happens
