The
Manor—the heartbeat of hedonism and pleasure, the place where Jesse Ward lost
himself for years in women and alcohol, escaping his past—was his life. His
everything. Until the day Ava O’Shea walked through the doors and Jesse
discovered something else to live for.
Her.
Their love affair was passionate, intense, and all-consuming. She became his
heaven. His escape. And eventually, his downfall. When Ava walked away from
him, he was destroyed, even more broken than before.
But she’s come back, and Jesse vows never to lose her again.
Except Ava’s only scratched the surface of his broken soul, and as their
relationship intensifies and their love deepens, Jesse’s pushed to the brink of
insanity when his past creeps into his present and risks destroying everything.
They will never survive his truths, and Jesse will never survive losing Ava
again.
So he’ll do anything to shield her from his dark, soul-destroying past.
Absolutely anything.

Ten years ago, I fell hard for Jesse and Ava's story. Getting Jesse's point of
view is an eye-opener. This book continues from the first book, when Ava left
Jesse after finding out what the Manor was. After a week of nothing from Jesse,
and all his friends being worried, Ava helps them get in the penthouse, she is
scared of what she finds.
We all know the story and how it ends, but seeing it through Jesse's eyes is so
much more intense and heartbreaking too. He doesn't know what it feels like to
love and be loved. He is scared of losing her or someone trying to take her
away. His mind is always trying to think of ways to keep her tied to him.
I tried to savor this one, but I knew I needed to finish it and it was great
getting back to visit with the Lord of the Manor. This story is intense,
heartbreaking, scary at times, loving, fun, and all-around a great story. I
cannot wait for more. I will be reading this over and over.

This is the perspective of Jesse. It's almost an identical story as Ava's but
told from the opposing side.
It's still a good story with the characters weaving their own way through the
twisted and messy life. I really like that you can see how Jesse sees Ava
through his own eyes. Yes, I know that he still is as possessive and
controlling as ever, but you don't get to just see that side. You get to see
the why behind it.
I like being the dual perspective. Jesse's friends are still the same, but you
get to see them through Jesse's eyes and see him through theirs.
You won't be disappointed to see how Jesse sees the world. But if you're
looking for something different than the original, you might be a little
disappointed.
