Review: London Calling by Nana Malone

The Blurb

But then, for photographer, Xander Chase, most things came easy…except love. His portraits are renowned for revealing the heart and soul of his subjects, yet, he keeps his own heart hidden behind a playboy facade. All he cares about is revenge, and for that, he needs a stand-in girlfriend for a weekend fling.

Struggling actress, Imani Brooks, has been offered the coveted role of a lifetime…playing the part of an escort in a renowned play. When Xander proposes a weekend of research in Paris, she jumps at the chance. Their pretend relationship is the perfect way to dig into her role. She just has to remember that what they have is only for show. Xander is not the kind of man to fall in love. 

Love is harder that it looks…

Everything goes as planned until passion erupts and blurs the line between fiction and reality. Can Imani get past the walls Xander’s built around his heart and find the real man hidden behind the camera lens? Or will Xander’s hunt for revenge leave her heart in shreds?

My review

As soon as I read the last pages of London Bound about Alexi and Abena's romance, I wanted to read Xander’s story right then and there. What type of woman would the complicated man end up with?

Imani was a perfect match for Xander. Someone confident who took no nonsense and knew how to handle both herself and him. Their attraction still has me smiling.

The thing I liked most was the depth of the romance. Onion layers were peeled while reading it and it progressed smoothly with all facets of emotions getting involved.

A wonderful series that I hope doesn’t end. There are some characters that I’d really like to see get hooked up.

I give this book five out of five Great Britain shaped chocolate bars.

I purchased my copy from Amazon.
