I've really enjoyed Nana Malone's bodyguard series as well as the world she has created on Winston Isles. I especially loved that the bodyguard was the heroine! That was a nice twist of the bodyguard trope!

Well Theo is definitely charming and caring. So much so that even when he tries to be the contrary, he is not selling it. There is one major secret involving Theo, one that even he only knows the half of it. But non the less he has to keep it. Then to make it more difficult he has to deal with Zia at every turn. It's not easy to keep her at arms length when her instincts are sharp, when she is super curious, when their attraction is scorching hot and oh yes, when she has strict orders to protect him and not leave his side lol.

With a wild card on Zia's life, her being taking advantage of and loosing control, she tries to overcompensate with Theo. But he is not an easy client. He is a good one though. And he will take care of her like no one has. With all that, this book gives you passion, action, mystery and a lot of banter. Great entertainment, if you ask me.

I should have realized this book would not stand alone as it is book 1 of Billionaire Duet. Be advised it definitely ends on a cliffhanger and book 2 will be necessary reading.
The premise of Bodyguard to the Billionaire is solid and the story is entertaining. The hero and heroine are well drawn and seem to have chemistry. I was confused at the beginning of the book and it took me awhile to settle into the story. The pacing seemed a little uneven, and a few of the love scenes seemed dropped in - they didnt move the story along much. I will read book 2, as I want to see how the story plays out.
I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.

It’s an interesting read but it wasn’t the most easiest book to connect to. I don’t think I will be reading the next book.

Very interesting start to a duet.

Between being the body double to a billionaire and having that give you a job to having to stand in during a crisis, and clashing with the female billionaire. Here for it.

Again Nana Malone delivers a fabulous book. If I could I would give this book 10 star, it’s that amazing! Bodyguard to the Billionaire has everything we have come to except from Nana Malone, it has drama, sexy times, romance and passion that will keep the pages turning and the characters are just as fantastic as normal too. Loved them. A must read book all day long. Happy reading!!

So Derrick Arlington came to Theo Coleman's office and was shocked that he hired him to be gus his double since he looks so much alike he getting a truck of money this should be easy peasy and hired him to be his double-man for a month,So for Two million dollars for 30 days shoot I would be a double. So we have Zia which thankfully is one of the characters that I enjoy she is no pushover.. left you with a tidbit, to get the rest you have to read the book!

Another great beginning to an epic romance. Zia is someone I already liked from brief glimpses of her in other books, but Theo was absolutely perfect. I just loved him and his big heart from the beginning! They're perfect for each other and I'm moving right on to the conclusion of their story because I am so rooting for them!

Bodyguard to the billionaire isn’t your typical bodyguard situation. Derrick is in trouble and when he’s assigned a protector who would have thought he would get Kings Knight ? Zia is one of the best and she will do whatever she has to to protect her client. But Derrick isn’t easy. He has secrets and isn’t forthcoming with what’s going on.

Mysterious attackers, shady pasts, secrets, and more. It was a good story and interesting. Of course there is a cliff hanger and the wait for another book.

I love Nana and all her books, this one included. I'm not much for Royal romances but Nana did a great job with this one. I was bummed it ended on a cliffhanger but I still recommend reading this book.

Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is another entry in Nana Malone's Royal series. This series is several interconnected duets, and this is book 1 in the Billionaire duet.

Nana Malone always delivers intriguing plots, interesting characters, and a cliffhangers that leave you needing Part 2 yesterday, and this book definitely checks all of those boxes. Zia is a strong, determined, amazing female lead. And Theo is a bit of a mystery. The interactions between these two are amazing, and book 2 needs to be read ASAP!!!

This is the first of two parts and does end on a cliffhanger. In a role reversal of typical bodyguard books, Bodyguard to the Billionaire features a female bodyguard and the man that needs saving. The love story of Zia and Theo is slow to progress but when it ignites, it's hot! It's an engrossing story with the mystery of who is after Theo, coupled with a backstory of Zia's sister. It's a great read, but I wish I had book 2 to read now!

❤️❤️❤️ 1/2
💋💋

The story was good and unusual enough to be one that would grab attention
The characters were great , believable most of the time.
I enjoyed the whole premise of the book .
When they were together they were great , quirky and amusing at times , the banter certainly flowed .

But something was missing and I think it was chemistry, I didn’t feel their relationship to the extent I was expecting
I admit it’s possible that I lost the chemistry because of the tricky plot , it’s one you have to concentrate quite hard on , change of people , places and such , someone trying to kill you is never easy ,
I would like to read the following books to get the end result as this is a series and all the answers are not given
In all I did enjoy the story and I’d give it a 3 1/2 stars out of 5

I received an Arc copy of this book and chose to post this review

**3.5 Stars**

I guess I am going to be in the minority on this one but here goes:

I went into this book completely blind as I do all books, as I feel like it makes for a much better experience as it allows for surprises and takes away any preconceived notions of what you think may happen. It took me a little while to get into the flow of this story but after a while I became invested in the story and the characters, only to find myself at times somewhat confused. I felt like at times the story had me going round and round but nothing was really happening.

I do think the main characters had great chemistry and I loved watching Derrick/Theo put Deedee in her place. But overall at the end of this book I was left feeling kind of meh, like I read that whole book and I don't feel like much of anything really happened despite all those words I read. I probably will read the next book only because I hate that I only have half a story, and this is my first read by this author and I am hoping I feel better about the second part of this duet. I think the story line had promise and the characters are great, but the execution of the story fell flat for me.

A kickass heroine, a conniving, sexy royal, and a fast-paced, stirring plot are just some of the elements that make this story a thrill! The storyline is full of action, excitement and surprises, and that character portrayals are sexy and fun. Bodyguard to the Billionaire is my first read by Nana Malone, but it definitely won’t be my last. I’m eagerly anticipating the next chapter of the The Billionaire Duet series.

Well this book is tangles web and draws you in from the word go

Theo is the look alike of billionaire Derrick Arlington. and he is been paid a small fortune to pretend to be him for thirty days. The only problem he isn't allowed to let anyone know he is a impostor and he has fallen for his bodyguard
Zia Barnes. If he didn't really need the two million he is been paid to settle his mothers medical bills he may be tempted to tell her who he really is. Zia is well aware her charge is keeping secrets but she has no idea what thy are. As the attraction between them grows will they act on it.

I enjoyed this book until I got to the end and realized that it ended in a huge cliffhanger! Now if I want to find out what happens I have to go buy the next book I guess, but I have a lot of books to review so I may not have time to do that.

She’s also determined, smart, and has no idea I’m an imposter.When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Nana Malone is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.
