This Woman Forever

This Man - The Story from Jesse, Book 3

By: Jodi Ellen Malpas

Narrated by: Shane East

Living a life free of demons and finding forgiveness had always seemed unattainable to Jesse Ward. And yet Ava OShea offered him a chance of happiness, the possibility of a happy ever after. Their affair has been an intense whirlwind, full of highs and lows, and now Jesse's finally on the cusp of realizing what he always thought was impossible.

Love. Marriage. Acceptance.

Redemption

Except for one very important thing. The final part of Jesse's past that he's kept from the woman of his dreams. Because surely Ava will walk away if she knows about the most damaging skeleton in his endless closet.

As Jesse navigates his wild, infinitely passionate relationship with Ava, the demons stir, threatening to damage their love and trust. His domination and fierceness inevitably intensifies, ensuring he's constantly straddling the line between bliss and complete irrationality. His past is pursuing him.

His forever with Ava is uncertain.

And Jesse's faced with the inconceivable reality that by simply bringing Ava into his world, he's ultimately risked her life.

Love this one! Great finish

Once again Jodi has given us a complicated but delicious masterpiece with This Woman Forever. It’s the 3rd book in Jesse’s POV and should not be read as a standalone. Jodi wrote a moving and completely captivating side of Jesse for this one. I thought I had gotten it all before, but boy was I wrong. I knew this side of Jesse was possible, but to see it written out and listen to it on audio was just so emotional. This book was so much more than I expected. The complexity, and intricacies that are Jesse Ward continue to blow my mind. Honestly, it was genius. I can only imagine how hard it was for JEM to write it because this one was a rough one. Oh, the last 20 percent of the book…. Be ready.
From the beginning we see Jesse for whom he really is, but I also love the extra vulnerability that he shows in this book. I love the alpha, loving and softer side of Jesse we see. But, don’t worry he is still super raw, complex, unhinged, consuming, and all encompassing. He’s struggling with his demons, insecurities , the guilt, pain from his past and the ghosts still he runs from. We see flashbacks and interactions with his loved ones from his past, and some not so loved ones. Some of the truths we learned from his POV, wow! His past is still leaving him apprehensive of opening up to Ava, but she continues to show him in this version that she’s the one for him. He met his match with her. IMO she continues to show her strength in being able to love a broken man like Jesse. The messages on the wall, perfect example. They truly saved and healed each other. 🥹🥹 I saw Jessie continue to grow, learn, have hope, and fill himself with love in this book. He continues to strive to be a better man, and change his past for the best possible future. Loved that we got see more of his relationships with Kathy, John, Drew, Sam and his family. Of course, JEM doesn’t leave out the sassiness, the spice, angst, plot twist, or vendettas in this one. I will say, I read and listened to the audiobook. Shane East doesn’t disappoint, his devotion to this character came through so hard. Especially in the last 20 percent of the book. At the same token I couldn’t stop getting trampled by Shane, JEM and Jesse MF Ward. Amazing read and listen. I’m sad to see this story end. But, if you haven’t read With This Man book 4 in the This Man Series it’s technically the next book and it’s already in Jesse’s POV.

Infinite Jesse

I just want to re read the series forever, I will never tire of Jesse cloud 9. Every single book is amazing. THANK YOU JODI, never stop, please. :)

Love always wins!!

she did it again what an amazing POV from Jessie.. would love a Sam and Kate version and if they lived happily ever after also.

Shane East

liked it all , from how well it is written to the story line and how well it is preformed

The end

I just love their story .. true Jesse is a complete narcissist but seeing what he mentally had to go through was heartbreaking . Glad he was able to overcome 🥹

Bittersweet!

Loved it! It wasn’t just a retelling of the same story, Jesse story had so much more to share with us. It was bittersweet because it is now the very end of Jesse and Ava’s story. It has been a wonderful experience. Loved every page. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Love it! I wanted more!

I would love Jodi to continue you more their story of Jessie point of you. I have the rest of the continuing books.

How guilt and unforgiveness can ruin a life.

This story illustrates how a lack of communication can lead to years of guilt, pain, and anguish. Adults failed young Jesse and he paid the price for their decisions. Parents not making it clear that Jake's death was not his fault and not seeking counseling to heal the family. Carmichael introducing him to his lifestyle instead of getting him help. It took his wife to point out that Jake's death was a tragic accident and Carmichael's decision to take the little girls was not Jesse's fault. Jesse made young mistakes, but adults made conscious decisions here that shaped and put him on a rocky path.

Wonderfully written

Jesse is officially one of my favorite male characters 🥹 I wish I could re read this for the first time over and over again

Long live the Lord

Long live the Lord!! I was lucky enough to receive an arc & the audible went live early so I double dipped. As always Shane was amazing! We get to see many sides of Jesse as he figures out the rest of his life. I love that the Lord of the Manor finally gets his HEA🤩

😈fave quotes📖
