Book Description


An ambitious career woman. An enigmatic billionaire. There’s more to their affair than meets the eye in this scalding romance by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the This Man series.


Amelia Lazenby deserves a breather—from work and from the stress of a recent breakup. Courtesy of her best friends, she gets a day of pampering at a posh country spa called Arlington Hall. Instead of finding calm, she finds her pulse racing when she sees flawlessly rugged Jude Harrison. Hand on heart, she’s never laid eyes on such a stunner. And an unexpected steam room meet takes their instant attraction to a whole new level.

Amelia wasn’t looking for an intense new affair. But the passion Jude ignites is off the charts. Even if he is a little possessive. Even if his temper can be as formidable as the influence he has on her body. He becomes all the more intriguing when Amelia discovers that Jude not only owns Arlington Hall but that their meeting was no accident. It was planned. But to what end?

That’s a mystery as irresistible as Jude himself. Is he worth the risk? Or is this the man who could break her?

My Thoughts


Jodi Ellen Malpas is back with The Invitation, the first book in a new duet, and it's everything you'd expect from the queen of intense, enigmatic billionaires. Narrated by Shakira Shute, this audiobook promises a scalding romance where not everything is as it seems.

The story kicks off with Amelia Lazenby, an ambitious career woman in desperate need of a break. Her friends whisk her away to Arlington Hall, a posh country spa, for a day of pampering. But relaxation quickly turns to red-hot anticipation when she encounters the flawlessly rugged Jude Harrison. Their steam room meet-cute sets the stage for an instant, undeniable chemistry that jumps right off the pages (or, in this case, out of the speakers!). And let me tell you, when IYKYK, the "foreplay" here is chefs kiss.

Amelia is strong, driven, and focused on her career, but Jude's sudden presence derails her perfectly organized life. He's mysterious, arrogant, possessive, and frankly, a walking red flag. Yet, his relentless pursuit of Amelia is utterly captivating. While Amelia needs a distraction from her work-obsessed life, Jude gives her that and so much more.

Jude Harrison is the kind of character you love to hate and hate to love. He provoked seriously conflicting emotions in me. One minute I was completely drawn to him, the next I was shaking my head, questioning his aggressive and sometimes downright rude behavior. He’s definitely an intense character with a formidable temper. However, there’s a subtle vulnerability beneath his hard exterior, and I just know he's hiding something big. I'm holding out hope for some serious redemption in book two!

As always with Jodi, the secondary characters shine. Amelia's girlfriends are a riot – I totally want to join their girl squad! There are some genuinely hilarious moments, especially one involving Amelia's parents and some flowers that had me laughing out loud.

As this is the first part of a duet, it's tough to give a complete judgment, but there's no denying this book delivers those signature Jodi Ellen Malpas vibes. If you're a fan of her previous works, you'll feel right at home with The Invitation. It sets up an intriguing mystery around Jude that will leave you desperate for the next installment.
