Bodyguard to the Billionaire: The Billionaire Duet Book 1, Nana Malone

Bodyguard to the Billionaire (Billionaire Duet Book 1) by [Malone, Nana]
 Bodyguard to the Billionaire: The Billionaire Duet Book 1, Nana Malone

Packing a sensual heat, mystery, intrigue, passion, and interesting characters all at the start, Nana Malone has created yet another powerhouse beginning to what's promising to be another fantastic duet.  Mia is a strong, independent woman who has been burned by romance.  Theo is a capable, complicated man who has been burned by life's circumstances.  While secrets cloud who they could be to one another, there's no denying that their chemistry and personalities mesh incredibly well and promise a whole lot of awesome to come.

Theo is the strong, brooding, more mysterious hero that I actually like.  He has an honesty streak a thousand miles wide and only for the care of his mother is he willing to take on the role of duke and billionaire.  His inner turmoil and conflict are believable and while I wish he were open with Mia before he gets outed in a pretty extreme way, I kind of don't trust Mia to hold to her word.

Mia is a strong woman.  She's also moody and reactionary.  There's no denying that she's stellar at her job.  Her hacking skills I just know are going to play a huge role in the second book and I can't wait for her to grow into herself, to find herself and really accept all she is and what she's truly worth.  For now, though, she's so contradictory that I don't trust her with all that Theo is and is protecting.  She says she knows who he is inside despite his secrets, that when he's ready to share she hopes he'll open up to her, and then she vents to her bestie that she can't handle his secrets...I'm seriously hoping she doesn't pull an emotional runner under some guise of his dishonesty when his truth comes out.  I have high hopes for her, so I'm hanging in there to see if she lives up to who I feel Theo deserves.

This story has a mix of tropes I'm both a fan of and some not so much.  The fake relationship, the bodyguard scenario, those are totally my jam.  But mixing that with extra secrets isn't my favorite.  There are quite a few mysteries that are actually really predictable, but the way they're weaved into the story, the burgeoning relationship between Mia and Theo...there's so much magic that I don't mind the predictability.  And the "reveal" at the end for our cliffhanger?!  Damn.  I didn't see that happening that way.  I'm on the edge of my seat and wish I could read their conclusion RIGHT NOW!  Definitely a book worth diving in head first.

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.

About Nana...
Nana Malone, Author

USA Today Bestselling Author, NANA MALONE’s love of all things romance and adventure started with a tattered romantic suspense she borrowed from her cousin on a sultry summer afternoon in Ghana at 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. Waiting for her chance at a job as a ninja assassin, Nana, meantime works out her drama, passion and sass with fictional characters every bit as sassy and kick butt as she thinks she is.

The books in her series have been on multiple Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble best seller lists as well as the iTunes Breakout Books list and most notably the USA Today Bestseller list.

Until that ninja job comes through, you’ll find Nana working hard on additional books for her series as well as other fun, sassy romances for characters that won’t leave her alone. And if she’s not working or hiding in the closet reading, she’s acting out scenes for her husband, daughter and puppy in sunny San Diego.
