Bodyguard to the Billionaire by Nana Malone

Release Date: July 23, 2019

Check out my 4 ⭐️ review HERE. Copy of Cover.jpg

Bodyguard to the Billionaire, an all-new contemporary romance by Nana Malone.

Derrick Arlington is one of the world’s most eligible billionaires. Voted Sexiest Man Alive—two years running.

And I just so happen to look exactly like him.

It’s never come in handy until I get offered an actual job out of it.

It was supposed to be so simple.

Go to the Winston Isles, stand in as his body double for a few weeks, go back to my life.

But when our carefully constructed plan goes awry and the billionaire goes missing, I have no choice but to take his place and hire a bodyguard. The best in the business: a smart-mouthed, tight-assed, lady bodyguard.

Zia Barnes is the LAST thing I want, even if I need her. She’s determined, smart, and has no idea I’m a total imposter.

Good thing I have no intention on falling for her, or I’d be royally screwed.

Excerpt:

“Get rid of her, or she comes with us.”

“I’m not going anywhere, buddy.” I jabbed him in the chest in an attempt to create more space. In close combat with this guy, I’d lose. Sure, I was faster and nimbler. But one good hit and I’d be down.

His sharp, slashing brows drew down. “Suit yourself. I know what to do with someone like you.”

I’d bet he did. And none of those things included me sleeping in my warm cozy bed tonight. “Babe, come on the royal family wants a photo.”

Gray Eyes arched a brow. “Darling, you go ahead I’ll meet you there.” His voice was sin and bad decisions mixed together.

I stood my ground. Now was no time for him to be noble. “Oh, I know King Sebastian insists.”

“I’ll have to pass, love.”

“Yeah, you heard him, he’ll have to —”

He was talking and also raising his right arm. All I saw was the black gleam, and I acted, launching myself in the air and slamming against Gray Eyes. Toppling him over and covering his body with mine, tranq gun raised.

Wasting no time, I squeezed twice. The asshole about to shoot at us was big. Who knew if two doses would be enough? But I was prepared to run.

The muscle-bound brute fell to his knees. I rolled on my back, ready for anything.

But I didn’t need to worry. Two hits with the tranq had done the job.

I sucked in a shuddering breath.

When I turned to my bed of muscles, he was glaring at me. “Do you have a bloody death wish?”

His voice had lost some of the sin quality. It was colder, like he was pissed.

I pushed to my feet. “What? You wanted me to let you go with that asshole? He was going to kill you.”

“I promise you, I’m quite capable.”

Unbelievable. “You could have fooled me. Men wielding weapons and shoving you into a car are generally bad news.”

His gaze narrowed as he glowered at me. “I had it under control.”

I crossed my arms. “Oh, so you’re delusional. Okay then. Goodbye, crazy. And P.S. You’re welcome.”

“You generally only say thank you when you’re glad someone did something.”

I shook my head. “For fuck’s sake. Next time I’ll let you die then. Pity. You look expensive, like someone would miss you, but it’s no skin off my back. I’ll just let the homicidal asshole kill you when he wakes up.”

“You could have been hurt. Did you pay attention to what just happened?”

“You mean besides me putting on a display of badassery the likes of which you’ve never seen? I also made this couture look damn good. Oh yes… and saved your ass.”

“My ass didn’t need saving, princess.”

“I’m not a princess, asshole. I’m a King’s Knight. I don’t need anybody to save me. Have a nice life.” As I strutted off, I flipped him the bird.

About Nana:

USA Today Best Seller, Nana Malone’s love of all things romance and adventure started with a tattered romantic suspense she “borrowed” from her cousin.

It was a sultry summer afternoon in Ghana, and Nana was a precocious thirteen. She’s been in love with kick butt heroines ever since. With her overactive imagination, and channeling her inner Buffy, it was only a matter a time before she started creating her own characters.

While she waits for her chance at a job as a ninja assassin, in the meantime Nana works out her drama, passion, and sass with fictional characters every bit as sassy and kick butt as she thinks she is.

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s 4 ⭐️ Review: Nana Malone’s Bodyguard to the Billionaire ✍🏻

Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am always on the hunt for new authors. As a blogger/reviewer, I love when I receive emails looking for readers for an author, especially one I haven’t read. This was the case with Nana Malone. Even though she has an impressive existing book list, she simply hadn’t hit my Kindle search until I received an email about her newest book, Bodyguard to the Billionaire. In reading the blurb for the book, I was hooked for one of many reasons: (1) billionaire romance, (2) doppelgänger, (3) strong female hero (she’s a bodyguard), and (4) hints of a forbidden romance. And this book doesn’t disappoint in fulfilling those categories. Bodyguard to the Billionaire is the first book in a duet, so it ends on a nice little (not really little…actually, BIG) cliffhanger. If you’re looking for a HEA at the end of this book, you have to wait patiently for the second book in the duet, The Billionaire’s Secret (which you can preorder now). 

Synopsis:

The story follows Theo and Zia. Theo is a look-alike to the playboy billionaire, Derrick Arlington. Derrick approaches Theo and asks him to pretend to be him for a short time, no explanation given other than Theo must ensure Derrick’s company’s acquisition proceeds. Derrick offers Theo an exorbitant amount of money to fulfill this task, and Theo needs the money to work himself out of a hole left by leaving a former job. What Theo doesn’t bargain far is an attempt on his life. 

Enter Zia. Zia is a King’s Knight, a bodyguard under the royal guard. She helps save Theo on the night an attempt is made on his life. Given that Derrick is a cousin to a king (and a lord), a decision is made for Zia to protect Theo/Derrick as his bodyguard. She will act as his girlfriend and personal assistant. From the start, these two feel a strong attraction to each other, but the complications of a relationship keep them apart until they can no longer deny their feelings for each other. Will Zia keep Theo/Derrick safe? Will she forgive Theo when she finds out that he is not Derrick? Will these two find a happily-ever-after? Those are the questions. 

Review:

Given that I had not read Nana Malone before Bodyguard to the Billionaire, I was woefully unprepared for the other characters in this book, namely the other King’s Knights and the royal figures. There are obviously other books that precede this book, so, while this is a standalone duet, it can be confusing in understanding the relationships between Zia and the other people in this book. There are quite a few other characters who have clear backstories, and it left me a bit overwhelmed at times. For example, King Sebastian asks Theo/Derrick to join a basketball game and various other male characters join in. It is clear that they have books of their own, and I would have liked to know them better in this book. However, this is more about me than Malone’s development of the story.

This book is a SLOW BURN. Theo and Zia fight their attraction vehemently, and they (especially Theo) question their feelings and motives constantly. Between the two of them, I found myself becoming frustrated at times. I’m not sure if that was Malone’s intent, but there was a bit of repetitiveness in the story as these two denied themselves for most of the book. In fact, these two don’t finally consummate (connect in the bedroom) until 80% into the book, so this romance requires patience. Again, it’s a slow burn. 

There are many parts of this book I loved. For one, the story is interesting. I’m feeling as though this has a Parent Trap feel to it. I think Theo and Derrick will be more connected than initially suggested. There is definitely some romantic suspense in this book besides the forbidden romance aspect, and I think it will make for a big explosion in the second book in this duet. 

Additionally, Theo and Zia offer the best type of character qualities. While struggling to mimic Derrick, Theo simply cannot hide his true self. It’s this identity that Zia really loves. It’s actually what I loved about him two because he is a little bit alpha, compassionate, and kind. Even more, Zia is the best type of heroine: she’s a strong woman who has denied her own happiness to ensure the happiness around her. When you meet this type of woman in a book, you cannot help but cheer on the hope that she will find someone who will live to bring her happiness. And we see this begin to transpire in this book. If she can forgive Theo in the second book, I KNOW Theo will become that swoony hero for Zia. 

Bodyguard to the Billionaire is a great beginning to the Billionaire Duet. The moment I finished reading this book, I quickly one-clicked The Billionaire’s Secret because I’m hooked by this couple and their story. If you love a romantic suspense with a hero and heroine whose chemistry burns off the page, then you’ll want to read Nana Malone’s newest book. 

In love and romance,

Professor A

It started with a kiss. A single kiss that shook me to my core. A kiss to silence me, and a kiss to numb the pain.

I took his hand and in turn, he took me away. I thought when we ran away, we’d never have to look back.

I was wrong.

I think Sebastian knew, and so did I, that he’d be pulled back into this life one day. There was no way we could have gotten our happily ever after. Scars don’t ever fully go away, and this sinful place is etched into our flesh. 

I don’t know how I’ll ever forgive him for bringing me back here. Even when he kisses me the way he does… no kiss can take away this pain. 

He’s still my everything, but I don’t know how we’ll survive this.

A Kiss to Keep is a 15k novellette extension of Chloe and Sebastian’s story, A Kiss to Tell. Although it can be read on its own, it’s recommended you start with A Kiss to Tell.

✍🏻 Blog Tour: Check Out My Brother’s Billionaire Best Friend by Max Monroe – Get Your Copy Today ✍🏻

MBBBF - BT banner

One minute, I’m a woman trying to find her way in the world, and the next, I’m the sender of six of the most embarrassing text messages that have ever been sent in the history of time—or the cell phone.

Whatever.

My Brother’s Billionaire Best Friend, a hilarious romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Max Monroe, is available now!

Check out my 5 ⭐️ review here.MBBBF_Cover

Mabel “Maybe” Willis died a virgin at the very young age of twenty-four.

She leaves behind her parents, Betty and Bruce, her brother, Evan, a laptop filled with one too many Jason Momoa memes, and a Kindle library with more books than one human being could ever finish in a lifetime.

Cause of death: a text message.

Okay. So, I didn’t die.

But I may as well have.

One minute, I’m a woman trying to find her way in the world, and the next, I’m the sender of six of the most embarrassing text messages that have ever been sent in the history of time—or the cell phone. Whatever.

We’re talking code red, send a flipping mayday, the apocalypse is coming kind of texts.

And I didn’t just send them to some random person I’ll never see again.

No. That would be too easy.

I sent them to Milo Ives.

The man who played a starring role in all of my teenage fantasies—and my brother’s lifelong best friend.

And, boy oh boy, has he grown up.

He’s hard-bodied, blue-eyed, jawline-of-stone handsome, crazy successful, and has more money in his bank account than my brain can fathom.

Deflower me, please? I said.

Yeah. Send help.

Excerpt:

Maybe

Here I rest, you guys.

I. Mother-flapjacking P. to me.

And now, I’m coming to you live from what I believe is the afterlife.

Just think of this as that morning show with Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest, Live with Kelly and Ryan.

Only, change the name to DEAD with Maybe, take away the celebrity guests, and fill the audience with people who don’t mind witnessing a full-on embarrassment-fueled emotional breakdown.

Good God, if I would’ve known I was going to kick the bucket right before I reached twenty-five, I sure as shit wouldn’t have spent the last six years of my life slaving away at Stanford for a bachelor’s and master’s degree in English Lit.

I would’ve partied in college rather than studying until my eyeballs bled.

I would’ve danced on bars. Flashed some nip for beads at Mardi Gras. Actually gone to Mardi Gras.

I would have indulged in unlimited pasta night at the Olive Garden instead of counting carbs, and I wouldn’t have stopped binge-watching Game of Thrones on season flipping six.

I would have tongue-kissed loads of guys and spread my legs like a contortionist for any of them who seemed reasonably adept.

You know, a little bam-bam in my ham-ham.

Some not-too-big, but not-too-small P in my V.

A good old-fashioned pants-off dance-off…

Sex, you guys. I’m talking about sex. And if you haven’t picked up what I’m putting down from my delirious ramble, I’ll lay it out for you.

I’ve yet to be sexed up by anyone.

That’s right. I have officially bought myself a one-way ticket to the afterlife as a virgin for-freaking-eternity.

And now, I guess I’ll never know how it feels to have an actual penis rub up against my G-spot because, you know, I’m dead. And I’m pretty certain God probably frowns upon people flashing their boobs at the angels and public displays of leg-spreading and definitely the unchaste actions of a desperate-to-bone but unwed woman. No way. Heaven’s strictly G-rated.

I put it all off. I figured I had time. I mean, I thought I’d at least get to see The Office do a reunion special before I went lights out for good.

Although, my parents’ flower shop feels more like purgatory than heaven, and I thought for sure I’d be wearing something other than jean shorts and Converse when I headed to meet the Big Guy upstairs.

Honestly, the afterlife feels eerily like real life, and I’m not one to be dramatic, but I have to be dead, you guys. Seriously. Because no one could live through what I did.

I’m talking a 10.0 on the Richter Scale of embarrassing and awkward.

A Category 5 hurricane of humiliation.

A twisting, catastrophic EF5 tornado of comedic disaster.

No freaking way I survived that…right?

Okay. Fine. So, I can be a little dramatic sometimes…

And maybe, just maybe, I’m exaggerating things a bit here, but I’m doing it in the name of self-preservation.

Because, trust me, if you did what I did, you’d let yourself mentally pretend to be dead for a little bit too.

Because if I’m not dead, I’m going to have to face the consequences of my awful, humiliating, cringeworthy actions.

I’m going to have to face him.

Milo Ives—a tall, handsome, unbelievably sexy drink of water.

A man I’ve known since I was a prepubescent girl.

A man I’ve basically been crushing on my whole damn life.

A billion-dollar-empire kind of successful man who just so happens to be my brother’s best friend.

I’ll say it again for the folks in the back.

Milo Ives is my brother’s billionaire best friend.

And I’m in way over my head.

Blurb:
I’m an outcast and a loner, named for death itself. Fate wasn’t supposed to have plans for me.

But then she came back—the girl I once kissed in a thorn-covered chapel in the woods. She came back, and I could no more resist her than I could pry out my own heart. And by some trick of fate, she wants me as much as I want her. The only problem? She also wants the man who owns Thornchapel, Auden Guest.

And so do I.

Eight years ago, I did something to Auden, something terrible. He hurt me back the only way he knew how, and so here we are: our hatred seasoned with pain and my loneliness seasoned with longing. The only thing we can agree on is Proserpina Markham, and she wants us to find a way to be together—all three of us.

If Auden wants to earn her as his submissive, then he has to earn me as well.

But with the discovery of bones behind the altar and the carnal revel of Beltane fast approaching, it’s becoming clear that Thornchapel’s secrets are much deeper and older than any of us could have ever guessed. And no matter how bright and merry a feast of sparks may be, it’s always followed by ashes.

And darkness.
