Publisher's Summary

The number one New York Times best seller - a thrilling new romance from E L James, author of the phenomenal best-selling Fifty Shades Trilogy.

London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work, and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face.

But 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. 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?

From 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.

What the critics say

"The Mister follows a hot rich British nobleman...who falls for a mysterious woman with a troubled past. Honestly, Fifty Shades can step to the left.” (Cosmo.com)

"The Mister is over-the-top romantic, with...emotionally deep love scenes.... The book’s belief in the infinitely transformative power of love will hit the sweet spot for readers looking to be swept away." (Booklist)

"Packed with passion...a love story full of charm, music and soul-mates...a classic E L James combo of the sweet and erotic with the perfect ending for romantics. I think it’s her best by far!" (The Sun)

best book I read in a long time

Loved every second of this book! It started off a tad slow, but once I got into it I couldn't put it down! I was always sneaking away to try and steal a few minutes to listen to it! The story is engaging and exciting with lots of twists and turns! can't wait for the second book

« Barely a beach book read

This author needs to evolve to the 21st century, we are well beyond the fairytale story of « virgin » meet rich guy. Even the erotic passages are so passe.

not as good as I was expecting

The narrators did an amzing job of keeping me interested in an uninteresting story. I wasn't foolish enough to want it to be like Fifty Shades series and was disappointed when it had too many similarities ... rich man falls for inexperienced younger woman. Been there did that.

Swept Away

Don’t want to give any away but you shall be swept away (at least I was ) from the mundane of life to a world away. Thanks for the great listen.

Better than 50 shades

I was not a huge fan of 50 shades. But this one was a great 'beach' or 'summer' read or listen. The male narrator was great in the part. I do have to say the female narrator could have been cast better, this was an eastern european character, and I found the narrator they chose took away from her authenticity.

Other than that it is a steamy novel, perfect for vacation reading!

Beautifully Cringy

The different character voices and music truly brought this novel to life. Truthfully, the erotic scenes are my favorite part.
