BENEATH THIS MAN

Romance Erotica Sensual | Erotic

BENEATH THIS MAN picks up five days after This Man ended, Jesse and Ava were left heartbroken and their relationship had despairingly ended. Ava is in pieces and Jesse is well on the way to self-destructing. You can't help but feel how broken and overwhelmingly sad Ava is. This Man was intense. What they have in BENEATH THIS MAN goes beyond that. Their already powerful bond is amplified as Ava learns more about Jesse.

I really loved the character of Ava, she was someone that challenged me as much as Jesse did. I so desperately rooted for her during those times where she would begin to get more assertive with Jesse. Ava does hold her own at times and we see her win some of the many battles. She fights for her independence and, at the same time, has to deal with her all consuming love and need towards Jesse. It's a balance that I am unsure she has yet to achieve by the end of BENEATH THIS MAN.

This series shows you what a good kind of consuming love can do to someone and the lengths they would be willing to take for the person they love.

BENEATH THIS MAN is such a great story that is part of an even better series. I loved Jesse I don't think there is anything this character can do that would make me hate him for whatever he does. It would just make me love him more. I was engrossed completely from the first page to the end, this series is so intense and powerful that it just pulls you in and completely makes you forget about everything else going on. Before reading this series I have heard non- stop great things about it and now that I'm reading it, I keep going back to the people who told me to read it and saying you were right why didn't I read this sooner. I can't wait to read the rest in this wonderful series.

SUMMARY

She knew she was heading towards disaster. Every instinct
told her to run, but Jesse Ward was a hard man to escape.

It has been five days’ since Ava O’Shea left Jesse drunk and
raging at Lusso – left behind a man who drowned her in his
intensity and blindsided her with his touch. Getting over
this man was never going to be easy.

And now he’s back in her life.

She has questions that she needs answering, but her
determination to get these answers will give the
pleasure-seeking playboy the power to destroy her again. She
needs to keep her eyes wide open and caution at the
forefront of her mind - an ambitious intention when Jesse
Ward is within touching distance.

And he plans to be.

He’s dark, he’s broken – Ava knows this, but the only way to
find out how dark and how broken is to get beneath the
steely exterior of this man.
