All I Am by Jodi Ellen Malpas

All I Am (This Man)

by Jodi Ellen Malpas

A new novella featuring Drew from the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling This Man trilogy

From bestselling author Jodi Ellen Malpas comes a new novella in the This Man series. You don't need to read the series to enjoy this story, but if you're already a Jesse Ward fan, just wait till you see the advice he gives Drew about falling in love.

I thought I had control. I was so, so wrong...

I don't need a relationship. I have Hux, a decadent club where I quench whatever raw desire I choose. I take pleasure and I give it - no strings attached. So when Raya Rivers comes in asking for someone cold, emotionless, and filthy... well, no man ever takes his wicked pleasure quite the way I do.

Only Raya is different. Vulnerable. And carrying some deep sorrow that gets past all my carefully constructed walls and inexplicably makes me care. Now craving controls me. Ice has given way to red-hot need.

But Raya has no idea about my other life - my real life. That I'm daddy to an adorable little girl. My two worlds are about to collide with the force of a supernova. Once Raya knows the truth, will she be able to accept all I am?

Despite my questionable relationship with novellas, I had to pick this up and jump back into the THIS MAN world.  And I have to say, Drew's story did not disappoint.

Drew, one of Jesse's best friends, holds himself back from women.  He's been burned before and he's not willing to risk his love for anyone except his daughter.  He visits his new sex club (since Jesse's is now closed) to fulfill his needs.  Drew thinks he's happy until he receives a request from a woman to show her the ropes at his club.  The moment he meet Raya, his world turns upside down.

I really enjoyed this story.  The author does a great job of pulling the reader right into the meet of Raya and Drew's story.  And if you've never read the This Man series, you wouldn't be lost either.  Drew is the perfect mix of the angsty alpha male who falls hard and fast when he meets the right woman.  Add in his adorable relationship with his daughter and I dare you to not like Drew.

For anyone that's read Jesse's story, ALL I AM is a must-read.  It's nice to see Jesse isn't the only one that falls extremely hard when he finds "the one".
