Rich. Entitled. Possessive. I know exactly what I don’t want. I escaped to London under the cover of night, never thinking I’d run smack into a man who would turn me inside out. I had a plan. Simple, really. Step one: Follow my dream, away from from the demons of my past. Step two: Land on my own two feet, preferably far, far, away from the man who hurt me and broke my heart. Step three: Live a … me and broke my heart.
Step three: Live a little and avoid all men with dark secrets.
So far, I’m not doing so hot.
He’s a royal amongst peasants, and the last kind of trouble I need–a filthy rich alpha who can see straight into my soul. Our secrets hold us both captive.
Something tells me I’ll be powerless to stop his magnetic pull, especially when he tells me I’m going to be his, damn the consequences.

Note: A long long time ago, I wrote a book called LONDON BOUND. You can no longer get that book, but Alexi and Abbie have gotten another chance to tell you their story in a whole new way. LONDON ROYAL and LONDON SOUL are a new take on their story adding them to my royals world! These books have fresh material, a fresh plot, and are being told from a whole new point of view. Enjoy!

I cannot believe you left me hanging like that. I mean, how dare you. It’s been awhile since you’ve sprung one me and as much as I love them, I hate them. I want the next book now.
There are so many things going on in this book. Both Abbie and Lex need to clean up their independent lives before they should even think about any kind of relationship, but lust always wins. Will they figure things out and become a couple, or will their pasts get in the way and prevent it? I have no idea, but I can’t wait to find out.
My love of angsty books is real. This one just added to my enjoyment of suspense and redemption. Nana Malone will be going on my “need to read more” list.
Here is more of my review here on my YouTube channel~ https://youtu.be/xDZwV2qIvWI
Hello old friends Nana you ever disappoint but you’ve outdone yourself. It’s been a long time since I’ve visited Lex and Abbie from London Bound. Nana took characters from a book that I loved updated it, added some new twists and made it better. I loved the royal twist because I do adore me some Winston Isles so anyone good guy connected to them is alright with me. If you’ve never read about these characters before your in for a treat. If you have read about the characters before in London Bound no worries your also in for a treat. If your like me and have read London Bound you would be skeptical about reading about the same characters don’t be it was worth the read. London Royal was everything. Same love, same Lex and Abbie but better. It like eating a good meal by yourself. The meals good but it’s so much more tasty if that same meal was eaten with the one you love with candles, good music, and being fed by them. You just ate the same meal up it was a lot more interesting, intriguing, and exciting. For me that’s what London Royal is. Intrigue, suspense, twists and turns, loyalty, fun, and as always uncompromising love. Xander and Lex yes please to the Chase brothers. I’m so pumped about the conclusion. Until next time y’all happy reading. Love ya Nana.
Whew! I absolutely loved everything about Lex and Abbie’s story! London Royal has everything you’ve come to know and love from Nana Malone and so much more! I NEED BOOK TWO RIGHT NOW!! Five Stars!!
I received an Advanced Reader Copy and am voluntarily reviewing it. This book is not your typical Winston Isles book. This is a love story above all else. Both Abbie and Lex have some serious demons in their past. Both are trying with all their might not to let the demons take over the present. As with any demons, it seems that they are always right around the corner. Something about Lex makes Abbie, who is afraid of touching, feel safe instantly. Thankfully the feeling is mutual and the chemistry between them is off the charts.
The Chase Brothers have just learned that they are now officially Princes. The book gives us a look at when Alexi and Abbie got together. You’ll love the love that flows through this book starting with Abbie loving herself enough to embark on this journey.
Of course, Nana cannot leave us without a cliffhanger. This cliffhanger will leave you panting for more an rushing to get Book 2.
I have to say out of all the female characters Nana Malone has given us with the extended famiky from the Windsor Isles, I think Abbie is one of my favorite. She is vulnerable and sometimes unsure because of her past relationship and her family, but her strength is just under the surface. She has done so many powerful things – leaving Easton, her family, moving to London, but she still years all the negativity she has been living with.
Lex is a man who suffered a great trauma which shaped who he is. He has his demons and secrets. He wants to be good for Abbie but he hears his own negative thoughts.
These two are hot and wonderful together. As they keep trying to figure out what they’re doing and learn about each other. I think if Abbie hadn’t been in a bad relationship she wouldn’t be do quick to accept Lex not telling her anything about himself.
Of course it ends in a cliffhanger. And I’ll waiting patiently for the next book.
Iwas given this book for an honest voluntary review
Nooooo! I need more! I want the rest of the story now! I’m reading along enjoying the book when it just ended. And in a cliff hanger, no less! I thought something was wrong with my Kindle…lol! I was looking for the rest. But I guess Nana wanted to keep us in suspense. This is my first book that I’ve read of Nana’s. I wasn’t sure what to expect or what it was really about. At first I was thinking an historical romance, with royal in the title. But it’s not that at all. London Royal is the first book in the series and I am looking so forward to the next book. The story of Abbie and Lex is hot! This book is telling us how they met. I love all the detail that Nana puts in the story. I felt like I was living this out right along side them. But at the same time, there are still secrets that need to be revealed, so it keeps the suspense there too! I also love how the book is narrated by both people. I love this! It helps us really understand what each person is feeling. I am so excited to find out what’s next for Abbie and Lex. This is a definite must read!
I love all of Nana Malone’s Royal family books and this one doesn’t disappoint. I remembered these characters from ‘London Calling’ several years back but was excited to live out the story of Lex and Abbie. Abbie escaped an abusive relationship and headed to London to study photography under Lex’s brother, Xander. Lex and Abbie have a couple of chance meetings without knowing each other but both felt sparks fly. They each have dark secrets of their own but can’t seem to stay away from each other, even though they probably should. Abbie and Lex end up spending some special alone time and connecting one weekend. After the weekend is over, Abbie heads out to shoot some photography but feels as though she is being followed. Shed ends up being abducted and then we have to wait anxiously for the end of the story in the next book of the series. I can’t wait to see how this story unfolds. Secrets have yet to be told.
This is Nana Malone at her best. I am fascinated by Alexi and Abby. Both have their own individual complicated stories. Abby (Abena) is going through some really serious issues and is trying to get her life together. Alexi (Lex) has his own different set of problems and is just trying to keep his head above water. Of course they met and how they thought they were going to handle things is history. I don’t do spoilers because it’s not fair to the author. Besides where’s the fun in that? You need to read the story and be as immersed in this book as I am. It’s sexy, smart, filled with drama, and all the feels you could want. It’s also deals with some very real issues that are very current in today’s society. As if that wasn’t enough there’s also the intrigue that keeps you on your toes and guessing. I can’t wait for the next book. I am a fan!
London Royal
Alexi…
Abbie….
Alexi literally catcher Abbie as she’s falling into a puddle.
Abbie is coming out of a truly toxic situation.
Lex has his own hurdles and secrets!!
I loved this story! Might be my fav Nana Malone Royal series and I’ve really loved them all!!
Ends on cliffhanger, conclusion is out soon!!
Highly recommend
Nana Malone
Nana Malone slayed it in this book!!! Lex and Abbie are freaking hot!!! There’s so much chemistry between them that if they don’t end up together they will combust!!! This story is sooo good…bring on book 2!!!
Abbie’s running from an abusive past. Alexi’s got his own past and demons from that past. The two keep running into each other as if fate wants them to see each other, to be involved with each other. Will they let fate have its way?
I always talk about how much I love Nana Malone’s royal world, and London Royal is a great addition to that world. Abbie and Lexi are a fabulous couple and I love how this first part to their story weaved from the past to the present, but never in a murky or confusing way. And lest I forget, London Royal is HOT! And suspenseful and mysterious and intriguing. And I have to know now what will happen to Abbie and Lex, NOW! Unfortunately, I have to wait until sometime in November to find out. So for now I’ll just have to be content knowing that answers are coming soon.
We are back to where all the royal Winston Isle adventures began. Even if you are familiar with Abbie & Lex’s original story then you are in for a treat. I won’t spoil anything, but I will say there is more than information that just further adds to the story. I will admit I was a little anxious& in my feelings at first, but as I continue to read it is still the great story that I remembered. If anything, it put more things into perspective. I am looking forward to seeing how the story continues in Book 2.
Another crazy cliffhanger. I can’t wait for the next book. I’m not even sure how to review this one and avoid spoilers. Lol!
Lex and Abby have off the charts chemistry. This is one tale where the sexual tension slowly teases, and builds until it just explodes.
This book is full of secrets, suspense, and intrigue. Actually, I would add mystery and deception to that list. As I was holding my breath on the last few pages, I had forgotten how Nana Malone takes you to the top of the ride and leaves you there until the next book. I don’t normally read cliffhangers, but Nana definitely has me hooked on hers.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy received from the author.
This is a different twist to a romance. We know Lex and Abbie end up together at the beginning. But then we get to go back to find out how it happened. And what a story they have! Abbie and Lex meet after she left her family and an abusive relationship. She moves to London taking the steps to accomplishing her dream. Lex and she cross paths without really meeting but their connection was immediate. As always Nana Malone writes strong compelling characters with tons of chemistry. Her stories are hard to put down! The story ends with a bang leaving me wanting more. I can’t wait for the second half of the duet! I received an advance copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Nan Malone knows how to capture her readers attention. With London Royal I had a hard time putting this book down. I love reading and following the beginning of Lex and Abby’s story. I found them both to be a strong people underneath their different but similar pasts and look forward to reading what happens in book two.
Fantastic fast paced read. Loved the back and forth banter between the characters. Just enough drama and suspense. Enjoyed every page.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Rich. Entitled. Possessive pain the my butt. I know exactly what I don’t want. I escaped to London under the cover of night, never thinking I’d run smack into a man who would turn me inside out. I had a plan. Simple really.
Step One: Follow my dream, away from the demons of my past.
Step Two: Land on my own two fee, preferably far, far, away from the man who hurt me and broke my heart.
Step Three: Live a little and avoid all men with dark secrets.
So far, I’m not doing so hot. He is a royal amongst peasants, and the last kind of trouble I need-a rich alpha who can see straight into my soul. Our secrets hold us both captive. Something tells me I’ll be powerless to stop his magnetic pull especially when he tells me I’m going to be his no matter what.
Abby is now finally able to follow her dreams after getting out of a difficult situation relationship. This dream takes her to London to start living her life how she want. One of the dreams she is able to make start happening is to go to a prestigious photography program. However when she meets Lex who has his own tragic past the chemistry really flies. However fate is trying its best to keep these two apart because every time you think they are going to be able to get this thing moving along something happens to tear them apart again. This book was so good and I can not wait to have the rest of the story in my hands.
This is book one of a new duet and I loved it. Things get off to a entertaining and emotional start as the well written story starts to unfold. I thought Abby and Lex were likable, complex characters. My heart bled for Abby and I am rooting super hard for this couple to get their HEA. As both these characters have emotional baggage, you know they have a bumpy road to travel. Drama, secrets, tension, suspense, danger, emotional turmoil and an intense attraction keep things interesting and hold your attention really well. Can’t wait for book two.
London Royal by Nana Malone is book One in the London Royal Series. This starts the story of Abby and Lex. Abby is working to start fresh along with living her dreams after getting out of abusive relationship. Abby isn’t planing on getting involved with another man due to her past but then she ends up running into Lex. Lex has his own issue that he trying to get past and work toward something else. They both can’t ignore their attraction but the past isn’t in the past and can’t wait to read the next installment into their story with the next book ‘London Soul’.
