  • Playboy in Peril

    So when we last left Xander he was in a precarious situation and I immediately regretted my decision to share my book bae with Imani. I mean look what almost happened on her watch! Regret aside, this duet does not disappoint. The Winston Isles gang feels like family now and I love that we get to add Xander and Imani to the mix. This story has all the intrigue, sexy times, and suspense we have come to expect from Team Winston Isles!

    In which we find out if Xander has a heart. If he can win back and keep his princess, Imani. Xander, your day of reckoning has arrived. Steamy, drama (of course!). A dash of the feels. A healthy dose of exasperation at Xander. Recommend.

    Xander, what a perfectly imperfect man! This conclusion to the Playboy duet was incredibly satisfying. Nana Malone’s imperfect, complex characters are realistic, even when not exactly made of reality. I can’t wait to see what she has planned next for her Royals and friends!

    Playboy's Heart is the conclusion to Xander and Imani's story, and it picks up right where Royal Playboy left off. I absolutely loved the conclusion to Xander and Imani's story. I must say that their story is one of my absolute favorites of the series. Xander and Imani were truly meant for each other. They each brought out the best in the other, and made the other want to do and be better for the other person. Yes, I can admit that as a reader, it was a bit frustrating watching them go through this hashing out, but it was so well done, and showed just how much someone will change in order to be the person that his or her loved one needs, as well as to better one's self. And watching them both learn that communication is key for any relationship to survive, because Xander was not the only one keeping secrets or failing to be forthcoming n this situation. Xander's transformation from Playboy to Husband was simply beautiful. He truly put in the work to address his demons, so that he could be the man that Imani needed and loved. Xander's story really broke my heart. My heart broke for that little boy that was Xander Chase being abused by his mom's boyfriend. Most of all my heart broke for adult Xander, because for so long he defined himself and his life by what happened to him in the past, and he allowed it to control so much of him until he met Imani. No one, not even Lexi, and boy, oh boy, does Xander love his little brother, was able to truly help Xander see that he was a good man who deserved happiness and healing except Imani. And what a beautiful, strong, independent woman Imani is. She is his perfect mate, even though at times she may have come off as too proud, but after having her control and her decision making taken away from her by her last boyfriend, Ryan, she needed to feel as though she was in control of her decisions. Playboy's Heart was a complete and total roller coaster of a ride shrouded in mystery, heartbreak, suspense, thrill seeking, rogue Royals, and some seriously hot and sensual chemistry combined with witty dialogue between the hero and heroine. We also caught up with many of the characters that we loved from the Winston Isles. Playboy's Heart is an absolute joy of a read. I am seriously excited to see what Nana Malone gives us next in Big Ben, the See No Evil trilogy, because there are still questions that need to be answered!!! Bravo, on yet another excellent read, Nana Malone.

    He has demons. Can he outrun them? Will he ever be able to live with them? Or will they conquer him? "Vengeance is mine" was once said and that has become Xander's motto. But will it get the better of him? He has lived his life seeking revenge and when he gets it, how will he feel? Relief, elation, satisfaction ... But now that he has Imani, his conscience gets the better of him. Is vengeance worth losing the love of your life? And yet, years later, we see the same cycle occurring. I felt the maturity that Xander has been trying to find at the end of this book. I found the end to be very fitting, and even a little comical. I think he made the right choices based on his family and his needs, both physically and mentally. I think he actually made very good choices in his final decisions. I found it interesting who the successor ended up being. I was truly surprised. I can't wait to read more royals. They really are a fun bunch.
  • Good conclusion for Xander and Imani’s story

    This Royal Series got me hooked on Nana’s books. Knowing that they came in duets, I was looking forward to the conclusion of Xander and Imani’s story. The first book started off weird to me and had some spelling issues that had me hesitant about this book. However, Nana once again develops her characters so well that you can’t help but get so wrapped up into the story. I loved the playful banter between Xander and Imani and how they fed off each other. This book brought about the more serious part of their story and how they handled it. One thing Nana does well is having her characters deal with real-life issues. This book was no different. Since I received this as an ARC for an honest review, I will tell you this duet wasn’t as exciting as her other books but reading not only this series but all the others before, will make you a fan of Nana’s.

    Book 2 picks up where the last one left off. Xander and Imani continue to have both internal as well as external obstacles their relationship. Xander at times continues to be his own worst enemy but you also gets good surprise. Great ending to the book and was wonderful to “see” old
  • Loved Xander and Imani’s Ending

    This story gave me all the feels. It’s crazy how an individual might not realize how much they care about a person until that one moment that changes everything. Almost like getting smacked upside the head and being told to pay attention or in Xander’s case punched in the face. Xander tries so hard to win Imani’s heart and keep it forever. It’s very sweet and endearing. I especially loved the ending of their story. It’s perfect for the two of them.
