Then James remembers that she must be profound, so she bungs in dreary Wiki entries about Albania. James writes like a somnambulist on Nembutal, ticking every cliché ever created - her heart slams against her ribs he drowns in her dark gaze his groin responds steadily to everything she blushes he groans. One might have forgiven James the terrible plot if it hadn’t been for the miserable dullness of her prose. The two fall in love and after she is kidnapped many times and runs away many times and after they avoid exchanging basic information till the very end, they finally live happily ever after. Because playboys who don’t remember the name of the woman they slept with last night mustĪlways get a virgin as gift. Alessia Demachi is a penniless and pretty (of course) Albanian woman who escapes sex traffickers and ends up in London as Trevelyan’s housekeeper. Maxim Trevelyan is a rich and handsome man (of course) who’s just inherited an Earldom. She: “He is so attractive!” He: “I’m enthralled.” That level of banal.Īnd what’s the story such as it is? It really doesn’t warrant a spoiler alert, but skip this para if you’re dying to read the book. And even that happens only after some 200 pages of unbearable banality.
Yes, there’s lots of sex, but of a sickly, swooning kind. If you come to this book expecting S&M, forget it. But for some inexplicable reason we’re expected to take James seriously.

One of the first reactions was a sort of disbelief that any self-respecting publisher would put this kind of drivel on sale and follow it up with serious marketing effort. This is a standard edition, a signed edition is available here.The queen of soft porn but her latest effort of 512 pages of unadulterated bilge left me feeling blue in entirely different ways. Just who is Alessia Demachi? Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own?įrom the heart of London through wild, rural Cornwall to the bleak, forbidding beauty of the Balkans, The Mister is a roller-coaster ride of danger and desire that leaves the reader breathless to the very last page. Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face.īut his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone.
