I went into listening this book as a new and refreshing story. I went into this book with an open mind and I do not think it is fair to judge an author on a prior series. I loved Fifty Shades books and their movies with that being said I waited patiently for this book to be released and when I listened to it I didn't compare it to Fifty. Jessica is a new narrator for me I enjoyed her performance and will listen to her again. The narration was awesome! Dominic’s voice was perfect for Maxim and if I am being honest if his voice wasn’t so smooth and awesome I would have stopped listening because the pace of the book is so slow. I will say I was hoping for a less meek/virginal heroine I kind of felt like that has been over-done but I do think Alessia comes into herself throughout the book and isn’t as timid as she was in the beginning.
Especially the last 2 hours when things FINALLY started to speed up. But that wasn’t to say the story was bad because I actually enjoyed it. I listen at a higher speed and even still I found my mind wondering a lot. (I am not a fan of Third.) The story as a whole is a good one, but it was a very slow paced book. Once you get used to that, if you can then it won’t be so jarring. When we are in Third it is in Alessia’s Point of View. When we are in First it is Maxim’s Point of View. This book is a little confusing because it is told in both First and Third character and that can be hard to get the hang of. ) Yes, I said it I am not a fan of the fifty books. That is completely TRUE!!!!! Ducks, thank god for that.
The Mister I am sure many reviews are going to tell you IT ISN’T LIKE FIFTY. 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 listener breathless to the very last moment. 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. 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.
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.
