★★★★★! This Man Confessed, book 3 of 3. The conclusion of the in-control yet so out-of-control, Jesse Ward’s intense & imperious romance of Ava O’Shea. A whirlwind tale filled with secrets, lies, villains & suspense plus their captivating love!

“Everything that happens between us is a result of the potent, sometimes poisonous, love we share. It pushes us to behave erratically and unreasonably— both of us.”

This Man Series is the intense, epic saga about Jesse Ward in his relentless pursuit and seduction of interior designer, Ava O’Shea. Their story is filled with covert pasts and hidden agendas! It’s truly a wild, bumpy and emotional ride loaded with intrigue and shockers, undiluted lust and mind-bending sex plus a compulsive and intense love. Be prepared to be swept away by their story!

Books in This Man series should be read in order:
Book 1: This Man
Book 2: Beneath This Man
Book 3: This Man Confessed
Book 4: With This Man


Jesse’s and Ava’s story started when a laidback and reckless playboy Jesse Ward, owner of the Manor, wealthy business man and sex god with debauchery as his middle name, met what he thought was his latest conquest, interior decorator, Ava O’Shea. Instead he falls hard and fast and turns into a controlling, bossy, possessive, desperate and secretive alpha. Book 1 and 2 follow them through the ups and downs of Jesse’s pursuit, in what can best be described as Euphoric Angst.

Jesse, though he demands full control and disclosure, has managed to keep many secret. Some which have been revealed throughout, but most have left us hanging. This Man Confessed (book 3) will uncover them all! Story picks up shortly after the ending of book 2, Beneath This Man.

Follow Jesse and Ava as their relationship is tested time and time again. The suspense in this long-ish conclusion will keep you at the edge of you seat with much to be resolved; New and old villains continue to stir havoc, lies are told and secrets revealed. There are intrigue, surprises, pain, angst, frustration and ultimately joy as their relationship develops and matures into sweet bliss, sprinkled with countless moments of everything that is sex with Jesse. I will say no more. Their saga is best experienced.

Jesse Ward is just what I needed. In fact he is everything that I needed! He has captivated and kept me on “Central Jesse Cloud Nine” throughout. He truly is all pure, sexy, unadulterated alpha! Six words to describe Jesse: Intense, bossy, compulsive, enigmatic, possessive and elusive.

“The flawlessness of his beautiful face will amaze me until the day I die— his lightly tanned skin, his almost girly long lashes, the faint crease across his brow. It would take me a lifetime to run through all his stunning features. My devastating man, in all of his challenging ways.”

Ava O’Shea is everything that Jesse needed and everything we needed to keep the story going. She stood up to him, she succumbed to him, she riled him, she created more drama and she kept the mystery and story going by NOT demanding answers. Six words to describe Ava; Talented, strong, focused, ambitious, stubborn and meek.

“My beautiful girl. My defiant temptress. My lady. My angel. My Ava.”

This Man Series has introduced us to all that is sex with Jesse (or fucks depending on the mood):
Reminder fucks, Sleepy sex, Make friends sex, Shower fucks, Hangover sex, Catching up sex, Sense fucks, Seeing stars fucks, Apology fucks, Possessive fucks, Retribution fucks, Sleepy celebration sex, Alfresco fucks, Proposal fucks and Truth fucks.
And in this story we are introduced to (view spoiler)


Euphoric Angst! Intense! Suspenseful! Captivating! Memorable! Epic! What a way to end a series! Thanks for the extensive-ish epilogue from Jesse’s POV! Job well done Ms. Malpas!

“You keep my heart beating, baby. And it will only ever beat for you.”

“You’ve taken me completely, baby. You’ve swallowed me up and drowned me in your beauty and spirit. You know I can’t function without you. You’ve made my life as beautiful as you are. You’ve made me want to live a worthy existence— a life with you. All I need is you— to look at you; to listen to you; to feel you.”

“Do you feel that?’ He flattens my palms on his chest and holds them there firmly. ‘It was made to love you, Ava. For too long it was useless, redundant, not required. Now it’s gone into overdrive. It swells with happiness when I look at you. It splinters with pain when we fight. And it beats wildly when I make love to you.”
