bina_malde 's review for:
This Man
by Jodi Ellen Malpas
There are many things i enjoyed about this book but so very, very many that had me gritting my teeth. I have two main gripes. For a start the hero - Jesse - is very controlling to the point of obesessiveness; the author offers no viable reasons for this psycopahtic behaviour, except to assert that it is indeed over the top, but the fault is compounded by Ava's (the heroine's) inability to cope in an adult manner with Jesse's adolescent tantrums. She constantly gives in to his demands, thereby enabling him; she also gets stupidly hurt, over and over again, by Jesse's constant references to their sex life as fucking without ever telling him how she feels about it...and then getting annoyed when he doesn't change. Why would he? So, that's gripe one which is quite convoluted and has many flavours to it. Gripe 2 is the language - please, get an editor. 'Would of'; the plodding 'I did this', 'I walked there', 'I', 'I', 'I' - you can see I found this quite aggravating; several tense errors...okay, it's self-published and I have huge respect for any writer that is willing to put themselves out there, but editing is not the cherry on the cake, it is the binding agent that holds the whole thing together. Please, with all the wonderful comments you've had on your Amazon copy you've obviously sold loads of copies so please, pay someone to edit your work. It will enhance the reader's pleasure a hundred-fold.
If you can overlook these, and you enjoyed FSOG and Crossfire, then give this book a try.
