But, i n an interview with USA Today, James contests that The Mister makes more productive strides towards social awareness than its predecessors did, even if the designated damsel is helplessly drawn to a suave man of significant means. The Telegraph guarantees a steamy read with sexual innuendo embedded in every line, as well as a protagonist who can be involuntarily thrust into dissociative sexual fantasies with little to no prompting. Forced for the first time in his privileged life to assume responsibility (of his family’s business ventures), Maxim is immediately thrown off guard by the close company of one Alessia Demachi, his maid - and a woman we expect must be a two-dimensional, walking pair of breasts with a secret past that only matters when she is not in bed with Maxim. The Mister tells the story of a present-day, uber-horny British aristocrat named Maxim Trevelyan.

James is back in the romance game with The Mister, a 512-page romantic romp through Great Britain that promises, apparently, to be better than the last. The lead characters in The Mister are also music lovers, and it’s been a delight finding pieces and songs that have inspired me and that resonate with Maxim and Alessia and their story.If you’re looking for another mindless, sex-crazed fantasy from the mommy-porn mogul who brought you Fifty Shades of Grey, you may be looking in the wrong place. James told Entertainment Weekly that music is a theme of the novel, which features piano keys on the back cover, saying, “ I love music, and while I write I listen to a playlist that evolves with the narrative. She has hit her stride again, with an erotic love story that’s full of suspense, adventure, and menace – a story that gives us a peek behind the curtain into worlds most of us can only imagine.' Readers are going to be surprised and delighted with the romance that James has in store for them. Maxim and Alessia have led me on a fascinating journey and I hope that my readers will be swept away by their thrilling and sensual tale, just as I was while writing, and that, like me, they fall in love with them.”Īnne Messitte, Publisher of Vintage and Anchor Books, said in the statement, “E L James is an extraordinary storyteller who invites readers to escape into the intimate world of her characters.

It’s a Cinderella story for the twenty-first century. In a statement announcing the book release, E L James said, “I’m so excited to finally get this passionate new romance out into the world.
