Rating: 5 out of 5

That man is infuriating. That man is cocky. That man is demanding. That man is Blake Burns, and for the past two books, readers have watched him fight his feelings for Jennifer McCoy, make strides to make Jen his, and dig himself into hole after hole by his words and actions. With a man like Blake, nothing is ever easy, and at the beginning of Book 3, he has his work cut out for him, especially when he and Jen go in different directions for Christmas. Blake is trying to give his tiger what she asked for – space and a professional relationship only, but he knows deep down, they both want more, so the man who willingly takes risks in his professional life heads to Jennifer’s hometown to claim his girl. What follows their reunion are some amazing scenes where Blake and Jen profess their love through heartfelt words and passionate acts. These were the scenes I was waiting for…after all of the sexual tension, they finally give in to their feelings and see themselves as a couple. But readers know that that man didn’t walk the straight and narrow when it came to getting Jen away from dickwick, and those acts come back to haunt him in a big way. So what is that man to do when what he really wants is to be Jen’s man but their relationship of full disclosure has been fractured by his actions? Knowing Blake, he’ll do just about anything to get his tiger back even if it means placing his heart and his life on the line.Ever since I finished That Man 2, I have been not so patiently waiting to see how everything plays out between Blake and Jen, and just like with every other book I’ve read by Nelle L’Amour, she does not disappoint. Blake’s transformation from playboy to one woman man does not happen overnight, which is just one of the aspects I loved about this series. Regardless of how deeply Blake feels about Jen, he knows he needs to prove himself not only to her but himself as well, and it was great to watch him acknowledge that his heart doesn’t just pump blood to his cock;) I can’t blame Jen for her hesitancy when it comes to starting a relationship with Blake. She just called off her wedding after realizing her fiancé was cheating on her; no way should she rush into anything with Blake. But at the same time, her feelings for him are intense and sometimes the heart wants what the heart wants, and it got to the point where she couldn’t deny her need for Blake any longer.The slow burn of Blake and Jen’s relationship comes to a head in Book 3, and Nelle does a fantastic job of bringing everything together. All of the loose ends in the previous books are given closure in a way that will keep readers on edge as well as feeling hot and bothered. The action and steam are spread throughout the entire text, which makes it quite the page turner. Another aspect of the series I love is the crossover from Nelle’s Gloria’s Secret series. Gloria and Jaime are my absolute favorite Nelle characters and to include them into this series makes it that much better. That Man 3 has everything erotica romance readers look for in a book; it has well developed characters, witty dialogue, and a storyline that moves at a pace that will keep readers’ interest, and it also has some really scorching sex scenes.Nelle L’Amour has been one of my go to erotica authors since I read Gloria’s Secret, and if her That Man series is any indication of where her writing is headed, she’ll be one of my top authors for as long as she keeps writing.A complimentary copy of the text was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.4.5 poison apples (The Fairest of All Book Reviews)
