The meaning of the piece is very much built on this idea: multiple children (we’re not sure how many) telling their stories all at once. It wasn’t until about half-way through that I realized Potts was using the voices of a multitude of children, not just reciting the story of one. The identity of the speaker, though, is very much a mystery. In each sentence, Potts is sure to use the phrase “when I was nine (or eight or seven…)” to ensure that the age of the speaker is the focus, and so that the reader recognizes the magnitude of the events. ![]() It isn’t so much the “who” as the “what” that matters. The structure of the piece is such that the age of the speaker is very much the focal point. In each segment, the speaker reflects on the dramatic or important happening of that year of their life.

This 2nd book continues the story with Ava and Jesse – with Ava continuing to try to push to learn more about what makes Jesse the way that he is all the while trying to accept what it is that he does since it was all smoke and mirrors so far. We saw it start to happen in book 1 especially with how things ended and picked up in this 2nd installment right on that same roller coaster. What we know from the first introduction into this series is that Jesse and Ava has something so deep and passionate that they are certain to self destruct or cause the other to do that. ![]() I’m so deep into this story that i don’t even know what to make of it. And it’s exactly where Jesse wants her-within touching distance… That means letting herself get close to the Lord of the Manor once more. Ava is equally determined to get at the truth beneath this man’s steely exterior. She should have known that Jesse Ward is impossible to escape-and now he’s back in her life, determined to remind her of the sensual pleasures they had shared. Leaving him was the only way Ava O’Shea could survive. Jesse Ward drowned her with his intensity and blindsided her with his passion, but he kept her away from his dark secrets and broken soul. ![]() ![]() Publisher/Year: Grand Central Publishing īook 2 of the #1 New York Times bestselling This Man trilogy ![]() |
