Bookshelf: The Mister by E L James


The only reason I picked up this book was that it was from the author of Fifty Shades, E L James. But The Mister ain't anything like the erotic series that catapulted James on the road to literary success. The book revolves around Alessia Demachi, an Albanian, who is on the run after escaping from the clutches of the human traffickers. She is in an unknown country, London. But luckily, her mother's pen pal, Magda, lives there. She offers her a place to stay. Alessia soon takes up a job as a cleaner at Maxim Trevelyan's, place—whom she calls Mister. There’s sexual tension between them from the beginning. While the two are beginning to explore where the tension might take them, things take a turn when the kidnappers come knocking on Maxim and Magda’s home looking for Alessia. Secrets come tumbling out of the closet leaving not just Maxim but also Alessia bewildered when her soon-to-be fiance lands in London. Get ready for a slow-burn read!
