5 BILLION ‘ Ain’t no man on this planet like Jesse Ward.’ Stars
Talk about the mother of ALL Jesse’s tramples! The EPIC, unforgettable kind that is!
‘With This Man’ is an heart-wrenching, soul touching, mind-blowingly beautiful, deep and unparalleled emotional rollercoaster that took Jesse and Ava’s already epic love story to a whole new, and unthinkable height of brilliance.
What am I going to do? How do I fix this? The only thing in this world that keeps my heart beating doesn’t know who I am.
There’s only one way to approach this. Gently. Patiently. Sensitively. Softly-softly. I blow out a breath, laughing at myself. Good God, this is going to be a battle like no other.
It’s going to be so incredible hard to review without giving away to much, but even though I’ll keep this spoiler free, I will give plenty of quotes to show you just how perfect This Man was, and even though were nearly impossible to narrow down, every single thought of word from him was pure romance gold! Even his own description of himself was spot on!
I’m your husband. You call me the Lord. I’m a crazy, challenging, unreasonable pain in your arse; I’m possessive, I trample all over the place—your words, not mine—but by some fucking miracle, you love me nonetheless.
So here we are, thirteen years after the events that took place on the last book of this MUST READ trilogy, This Man Confessed, and Jesse and Ava were blissfully living their happy ever after, with their twins, Maddy and Jacob. But in an expected and horrifying turn of events, Ava suffers a life threatening accident, that almost destroyed their world. Jodi Ellen Malpas described Jesse’s despair to such a splendid degree that she had me crying my heart out, and praying for Ava’s life right along with Jesse’s begging for it. Ava truly is his everything.
My defiant little temptress. My angel. My Ava.
She has her usual effect on me. This woman makes my veins burn. Makes my eyes sting just looking at her. Makes my heart surge with adoration.
She is, quite simply, the most enthralling person I’ve ever encountered. And she’s mine. Beautiful and elegant, with a sprinkling of sass.
And what happens when your everything can’t remember you and the beautiful life you built together?! That’s exactly how Jesse felt just when he thought the battle for Ava’s life was won. A whole new, and even more personally challenging battle had arise, and now Jesse finds himself with the mission of helping Ava recover those precious memories, and in the meanwhile, making her, his soulmate, fall in love with him all over again. Sounds easy enough, no?! Oh, poor Jesse… <3
“You feel that?” I whisper, starting to fiddle with her ring myself. Her slight nod forces me to swallow down my relief before it chokes me. “That’s just the very beginning, Ava. That’s just the spark that set our worlds alight.” Determination is now running rampant through my veins, that small reaction driving it. “This head of yours.” I gently stroke down her cheek, relishing her slight nuzzle into my palm. “It’s been consumed by me for thirteen years, lady. I’m not about to let you forget our story. I will make you remember. It’s my mission objective. I’ll do anything.”
How much I hurt for Jesse, specially with every step back, every road block, every failed hope and chance. Ms. Malpas really did a brilliant describing all his raw emotion, his male perspective so realistic and heart touching, I fell even more desperately in love with this man. Ava couldn’t resist him the first time, now with the clarity of his feelings, and unmeasurable love and devotion to her, she didn’t stand a chance. He was just as imprinted in her, and she was in him.
“You and those kids are his world, but you know that already. Ain’t no man on this planet like Jesse Ward.”
And I scold myself because though my memories are a little lost, my instinct isn’t. To Jesse Ward, I am life.
“You are the most passionate man I’ve ever met, and you keep it all for me and the children. I can see that. Everything you do, you do it with such intensity. Whether you’re mad. Or if you’re playing. Or making love to me. Or simply loving me. It’s all so passionate, and I love it. I love that the children and I are the center of your world. That you love us with a power that’s sometimes a little overwhelming. What woman wouldn’t want to be loved with that much intensity?”
Of course Ava doesn’t take it lightly – she wouldn’t be the woman Jesse loved, if she did, lol -, and where was the ‘fun’ in that. Her body and heart recognize him as her other half, now her mind just needs to catch up and remember. Let Jesse help her remember all they were and still are. Deep down, she knows she’s living a once in a lifetime kind of love. How could she not, with how much Jesse fights for her, and even with her, to show her, make a feel. ALL THE FEELS that Jodi Ellen Malpas make us experience in this unforgettable journey, and get to know and love Jesse and his cell deep devotion to his wife and his babies. It’s impossible to describe, really. You need to embark in this EPIC, emotional and oh so HOT story, and laugh, cry, smile,sob and cheer right along with them. Reading it it’s the only true way to know, and fall in love WITH THIS MAN. <3
“We must love each other an awful lot.”
“It’s pure bliss, baby,” I begin quietly. “Total gratification.” I lower my lips cautiously and peck her wet cheek lightly. “Absolute, complete, earth-shifting—”
“Universe-shaking love.”
It was one of my most Anticipated books of the year, and it still blindsided and forever branded me with the raw emotion that was Jesse’s POV. THIS MAN truly is a GOD! No words will ever be enough to express all that entails The Lord… I’m totally on Central Jesse Cloud Nine right now, and it’s guaranteed to be a book hungover like no other! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Signed,
Forever ‘Jesse’s Girl’
I smile the smile only he can draw from me. It’s one filled with love of the perfect kind. Because he’s mine. I’ll always be with this man.
This moment, this precious moment, is what any man should live for.
And I do. I live for them. My heart beats to keep me alive for them.
