Review
That Man has struggled to be the best man for Jennifer.
That Man has messed up by hiding truths and trying to protect her in his own way – a way that doesn’t mesh well with the type of person Jennifer is.
But through it all, That Man has learned what it means to truly put someone else before himself and to think with something other than his dick.
And Blake Burns can only get down on his knees and thank God that That Woman took his heart and refused to give it back regardless of the shitstorm he, his conquests, and someone else’s vision of THEIR perfect wedding put her through.
I went into Book 5 anxiously anticipating Blake and Jen finally becoming That Couple, but also knowing that Nelle L’Amour was going to make them as well as her readers work for that title and BOY DID SHE. Whether it was unexpected accidents, catty bitches with their own agendas, or a mountain of miscommunication and a good dose of no backbone on both of their parts, there were numerous times while reading that I wanted to reach into the text and shake the shit out of Blake as well as be Jen’s mouthpiece in order to tell a plethora of people where they could stick it. But alas, I couldn’t dive into their fictional world, so I had to grin and bear the emotional rollercoaster and hope beyond hope that all of the drama would work itself out and Blake and Jen’s dream life would come to fruition.
Thankfully, Nelle L’Amour gives That Man and That Woman exactly the sendoff readers have been waiting for despite the hell they had to go through to get there.
In the That Man series, Nelle L’Amour created a kickass hero who may have been a bit rough around the edges but that’s exactly what makes Blake Burns That Man – plus, readers get the added bonus of seeing Mr. Burns come out to play on numerous occasions, which is always impressive in and of itself;)
Jennifer’s the perfect partner for Blake; she’s feisty, passionate, and driven, which are all assets she needs to have in order to keep up with the cocksure media mogul.
It’s been an absolutely amazing journey witnessing Blake and Jen’s love flourish after where they started in the series, and while I’m sad to see them ride off into the sunset, I’m just glad they got the HEA they deserved.

Excerpt
Once inside the apartment, I drew a hot bath. The rope fantasy I’d had earlier in the day had gone down the drain. It just didn’t make sense now. Right now, I just needed to hold my tiger. Let her know she was mine. And make up for punishing her. And rid myself of guilt. I felt bad about my angry fuck, yet she’d seemed turned on, not offended.
After peeling off her clothes which I intended to burn since Dickwick had touched them, I helped her into the tub. My tub was luxurious. Big enough to let six foot three me stretch out, and it had a Jacuzzi. Truthfully, due to our hectic work schedules, Jen and I hadn’t enjoyed it much. Mostly, we took showers together.
I watched as she sunk into the breast deep water. Her sigh was like a symphony to my ears. Turning on the Jacuzzi, I shrugged off my clothes and joined her, settling behind her. She was in my arms, her body and head resting against my chest and shoulders. The water gurgled around us, the bubbling jets caressing and massaging. We were in a zone.
I grabbed a large sponge, squirted some liquid soap on it, and then began to wash her everywhere. Dickwick needed to be erased.
“I’m sorry about tonight,” I breathed against her delicate neck as I washed the back of it and her shoulders. “Did I hurt you?”
She arched back in to me, splaying her hands on my thighs under the water.
“No, Blake. You can never hurt me.”
I pondered her soft words. They were true. I wasn’t capable of hurting her. My burning desire to protect her and fear of losing her ruled me. I’d never thought about the consequences of my actions with any woman. She made me feel things—emotions—I’d never experienced. And sometimes go to extremes. Kill for her I had to. I wanted to be her superhero forever.
Silently, I continued to sponge her. She hummed into the percussion of the bubbles. As I soaped her tender tits, her chest rose and fell against me. My cock rose beneath her. Her half-wet ponytail tickled me. Impulsively, I pulled it loose from its elastic band and it freefell, cascading over her shoulders like a velvet cape. The silkiness grazed my chest.
Keeping one hand cupped on her pert rosebud-tipped tit, I reached for the tube of shampoo. The only one she used. Gloria’s Secret Very Cherry Vanilla. I squeezed a few dollops onto her hair and, with both hands, began massaging it into her scalp until there was a lather. The erotic squishy sound and intoxicating scent of the shampoo aroused me, my cock and heart swelling with love and lust, one physically, the other emotionally. I had to have her. Not fuck her. But make love to her. She was thinking the same thing.
“Oh, Blake,” she said dreamily. “Take me. Make love to me.”
Gently, I lifted her hips onto my erection. She lowered herself onto my thick, aching length, taking me all the way. God, she felt good. So fucking good. I squeezed my eyes shut and let her know with a moan. On the next heated breath, I was gliding in and out of her, my mouth showering her with kisses everywhere it could, my hands working her slick clit, the water bubbling with love. We came passionately together.
Oh baby, stay with me. You’re all I need.
