I really enjoyed the narration of this too ☺ ‘I’m human. This was a fantastic conclusion to Jesse and Ava’s story. He may have been a stranger to her but she felt him and knew deep inside that she was meant to be with him. Despite what she was going through the strength of her love for Jesse broke through as quickly as it did when they first met. More than anything though was the intensity of Jesse & Ava’s love. There were several unexpected moments that completely shocked me and one poignant moment had me in tears. There is also Kate & Sam’s life, Drew’s, John and a few other new characters. This wasn’t just a reminder of their love and the rocky road the travelled to where they are now. Jesse sets out to help Ava remember their epic love story so he goes back to the beginning, right where they first met – The Manor. When Ava is involved in a terrible accident she loses her memory, she can’t remember anything from the last 16 years, which means she has no memory of Jesse or their children.
It’s been smooth sailing really and their friends Kate & Sam and Drew are having their own life changing moments too. Life is wonderful for the Ward family and Jesse is about to turn 50 years old. We pick up a few years after This Man Confessed left off and the kids are now 11 years old. The book blurb tells you the premise of this story so I’m giving nothing away that isn’t already mentioned there. Jesse Ward can be a very divisive lead character among readers, you either love him or loathe him, there is no grey area where the Lord of the Manor is concerned. Well this was a fantastic walk down memory lane. For fear of saying too much and to be honest I do not think any words I write will do this book justice, I am not going to say any more, other than to state that if you are a fan of this author and her series, then this is a must read. It brought across the angst, worry, frustration, humour and fear so much that my heart was palpitating at times. The audible addition was great to listen to. Not only did I read this one but I immediately also purchased the audible version to listen to it as well. Jodie wove together a true masterpiece that absolutely did justice only to the Ward family but also their extended family of friends. With This Man had me laughing out loud so many times and sobbing too.
Until I read and listened to this book I had no idea just how much I have missed these characters and his wonderful Jesse-isms. Jesse and Ava have always held a special place in my heart, but now I have to say that Jesse Ward is now one of my top book boyfriends of all time. With This Man by Jodi Ellen Malpas was everything I hoped for and so much more. Where does With This Man rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?ġ0 Plus Star Review With This Man by Jodi Ellen Malpas I have been anxiously awaiting the release of the latest book in one of my favourite series ever since it was announced.
