The Mister was critically panned when it was released ( The Atlantic called it 'hopelessly retrograde and dismally unentertaining'), but it spent nine weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. She's clearly formed a connection with readers that has translated into them becoming moviegoers eager to consume her stories on the big screen. The Mister is a contemporary romance set in London, Cornwall, and Eastern Europe that introduces readers to the privileged and aristocratic young Englishman Maxim Trevelyan and the mysterious, talented, and beautiful Alessia Demachi. Her backstory is famous by now – she started writing erotic fan fiction based on Twilight and became of the most successful romance novelists of all time (Variety says the Fifty Shades of Grey books were the three bestselling novels of the last decade). I am delighted to announce that my new book, The Mister, will be published on 16 April 2019 in the US and UK. While this book's storyline isn't exactly in my personal wheelhouse, I can't argue with the studio's decision to be in the E.L. The rights to the movie reportedly 'sparked a heated bidding war,' but it's no surprise that Universal came out on top considering the studio's previous relationship with James and how much money they've made together already. The outlet says The Mister 'tells the story of a wealthy British aristocrat who falls in love with his Albanian housekeeper, unaware that she is on the run from human traffickers.' I'm absolutely certain that no one will consider that plot remotely problematic, there definitely will not be any editorials written about it, and the entire thing will come and go without any controversy whatsoever.

Variety reports that James will produce the film adaptation of The Mister, just as she did with every entry in the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy.
