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.

Review: Strollers and Stilettos by Nana Malone #Romance #Interracial

The Blurb

What happens when real life gets in the way of　Happily Ever After?

Chronic list-making, event planner, Jaya Trudeaux Westhorpe, envisioned a fairytale ending once she married hotel magnate, Alec Westhorpe—complete with a steamy, extended honeymoon and an eventual family.　 What she didn't expect was a baby on their doorstep and a family-phobic husband.

When reformed playboy, Alec Danthers Westhorpe, married the woman of his dreams, he thought he’d finally found peace. But a long-hidden secret threatens to jeopardize what he holds most dear.

My Review

Hot. That’s the one word I’d use to describe this book. I’ll add amazing since I can. I’ve read all of the books in the Stiletto Series and loved them all. It was good to reconnect with the gorgeous stiletto women and their men.

The baby added cuteness to the sexy story. I’m not ready to let the stilettos series go so I’m encouraging Ms. Malone to please write some more.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

I give this book 5 stroller shaped chocolate bars.

Review: London Bound by Nana Malone #InterracialRomance

The Blurb

It wasn’t exactly like spunky, photography student, Abbie Nartey ran away from her life…except, that she left under the cover of darkness and put three thousand miles between her and her ex-boyfriend’s betrayal. She went to London searching for her dream. She never expected to find love, or herself.

Heir to his family’s tech fortune, sexy, Alexi Chase, is looking for freedom—from his family and from his past. What he’s not looking for is love. With secrets like his, he can’t afford to let anyone get too close. But a chance rescue has him wondering if the price of keeping secrets is too high.

Will Alexi risk losing love to keep his past hidden? Will Abbie trust herself enough to love again? Or will their pasts keep then from accepting true love? 

My Review

Abbie is a woman coming into her own. Someone who’s confidence has been shattered by a horrible person (who didn’t get enough of what he deserved if you ask me), and yet she found the strength to go after her dream and move to London.

Lex is a man who seems to have everything, great looks, wealth, he can dance. But he has a disturbing past which holds him back from truly living. That is until he meets Abbie. Their initial meeting was awesome. Sparks flew between them even as water got splashed. Their attraction was incredible. Although they tried to stay apart they couldn’t, destiny kept bringing them together.

Sheet burning attraction, loads of secrets, some family drama, fabulous friendships, and hot models made London Bound a wonderful book that enthralled me and made me fall deeper in love with Ms. Malone's writing.

I give London Bound five out of five camera shaped chocolate bars.

I purchased this book at Amazon.

R is for Romance Writer Nana Malone #atozchallenge

Did I cheat by using the R for Romance? Not in my opinion because the fabulous Nana Malone, USA TODAY bestselling author is from Ghana and comes to visit quite often? I haven’t met her yet, but I’m in love with her books. Brilliant writer. If you like a lot of heat in your romances, then pick one up.

She has a new book out which is sitting on my Kindle calling to me.

Review: Sassy in Stilettos by Nana Malone

The Blurb

Smart mouthed and in charge, magazine editor, Micha Bennett, has learned the hard way to choose her career over love. When she’s up for the job of a lifetime, the competition becomes deadly fierce. To protect their best asset, her company hires the one person who’s ever put Micha on edge and threatens her sense of control. 

Sexy, security consultant, Caleb Atkins, knows what he wants and it’s Micha Bennett. He just has to convince her she wants him too. With ugly shadows in his own past, he’ll die before he lets anything harm the woman he loves. Too bad Micha doesn’t think she needs his protection or his love. 

Can Caleb convince Micha to let go of control long enough to fall in love? Or will fear and danger tear them apart?

My Review

Ms. Malone is on fire with this series. It’s no wonder she’s a USA Today Bestselling Author. Her books are fabulous and Sassy in Stilettos is no exception.

From book one I liked beautiful, tough as nails Micha. She's the one everyone feared but who would protect the ones she loved with her life. She and gorgeous super alpha with a soft heart and rocking body, Caleb were perfect together. My favorite part about their relationship was that Caleb didn’t allow her to plow over him and yet he softened for her. Ms. Malone started off the story with sparks flying between them  and kept the heat burning throughout.

The novel had drama, action, awesome fight scenes, friendship, a few tears curl your toes sex scenes, and a surprise ending. I didn’t want it to end because that would be the end of my friendship with Jaya, Ricca, and Micha. All were strong women with a depth of character that attracted fantastic men into their lives.

I recommend that you meet these three women in the Stiletto Series. You’ll be just as sad to let them go as I am after reading the third book.

I give this novel five out of five stiletto shaped chocolate bars.

Review: Sultry in Stilettos by Nana Malone

The Blurb

Shy, Fantasy Event Planner, Ricca Munroe has never been lucky in love, so when the latest in a long line of Mr. Oh So Wrongs publicly dumps her, she focuses on her career. All she has to do to land the job of a lifetime is work side-by-side with the one man who can break her heart. 

Beckett Mills has never been in love. Personal entanglements are a recipe for disaster—that is until one kiss from Ricca Munroe changes everything. Beckett needs this job to fulfill a promise he made. All he has to do is resist the seductive charms of his best friend. 

Can Ricca come out of her shell to land her dream job and the love of her life? Can Beckett trust himself enough to actually fall in love and still keep the promise he made? Warning:

My Review

When I was first introduced to Ricca in Sassy in Stilettos (which I loved – see my review here), I thought she was kind of boring compared to the heroine, Jaya and Micha the bold rowdy friend.

Sultry in Stilettos gave me a true sense of who Ricca was. A sweet, organized, get it done, finding her true self kind of woman. She learns how to be comfortable and confident in her body and shows just how much spunk she has. Ricca was someone I could relate to and rooted for all the way.

The hero, Becket, was delicious in book one. In Sultry in Stilettos we learn that he's an adrenaline junkie who has a gigantic heart and a whole lot of sexual skills.

Ms. Malone took us on an emotional and adventurous roller coaster ride with these two characters who go from friends to lovers. If you’re looking for a book that will make you chuckle, root for the underdog, gasp and get you excited, then Sultry in Stilettos is for you.

I give this book five out of five swimming pool shaped (they’re bigger than shoes) chocolate bars.

Review: Sexy in Stilettos by Nana Malone

I’ll admit that her name first attracted me. I got over that, but I am so glad we share the same name. Sexy in Stilettos by Nana Malone was brilliant. An absolutely wonderful read.

Throughout the story  Jaya Trudeaux and Alec Danthers evolved, each helping to balance the other out.  I could totally relate to Jaya and her anal retentive ways. But I could also relate to Alec’s adventurous ways too. What Jaya had to endure during the beginning of the book had me gasping and then it just went uphill from there.

This was a multicultural book, but there was not a major emphasis on race, and I thought that was cool. We were always aware of the differences in their races, but it wasn’t an issue. Their relationship  and growth were the main focus.

Jaya  and Alec  should have been incinerated during this book. Their passion was incredible. I read some of it while sitting in a public area and more than once, I had to look around to see that no one was reading the hot sex scenes along with me. That would have been uncomfortable.

I loved the hero and heroine, but when the supporting characters were added, a world of love, support and laughter was created. Lots and lots of laughter.

If you want a wonderfully written, fast paced, make you say ‘Oh my’ and fan yourself book, then Sexy in Stillettos by Nana Malone is for you. I give this book 5 out of 5 of my precious chocolate bars.

I purchased this book from Amazon.com.  I bought a three in one pack so I don’t have to wait for the second book in the series Sultry in Stilettos. I am one happy woman.

The Blurb

What’s worse than having to watch your sister marry your ex fiancé? How about when that fiancé fires you from the family business?

Hyper-organized, event planner, Jaya Trudeaux is used to doing things by the book and never making waves. It’s a strategy that’s served her well until she finds herself in failure alley with no fiancé, no job and her thirtieth birthday looming. Maybe it’s time to change her methods. Starting with an unlikely date to the wedding from hell.

The only thing that can tie carefree, playboy, Alec Danthers down is his formidable step mother. When she calls him home to help find his wayward brother, he never imagines an uptight, list making, sass-talking woman would make him think about putting down roots.

Can Jaya put the lists down long enough to enjoy the ride that is Alec? Will Alec stop running long enough to recognize true love?
