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 voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. Abbie and Lex are literally torn apart due to all the lies and secrets Lex has to keep hidden… The story itself ist a little bit like bubblegum. Only at the end happens something of interest. Nevertheless there’s quite a cliffhanger you never saw coming, that will have you wondering…
London soul is the second half of Abbie and Alexi’s story, and what a story! It will keep you wondering and with the added twists it made the story more interesting. They both have been through a lot and fought for their happiness. Nana did an amazing job with their story. I can’t wait to see what she will write next.
I voluntarily leave an honest review of this Advanced Readers Copy.
London Soul is the continuation of Abbie and Lex’s story. It starts off with a shocking revelation, and it only gets better from there. There are so many twists and turns you will be left dizzy; revenge is on more than one person’s mind; and, sweet, sexy romance that will leave you breathless. And in true Nana Malone fashion, you are left teetering on the edge of a life-altering cliffhanger!
A must read
I read an ARC of London Soul and willingly left this honest review.
A riveting, suspenseful conclusion to London Royal, Soul has you constantly looking over your shoulder. Abbie is still suffering from trust issues and misdirections/misinterpretations of feelings. Lex learning to restrain his feelings and actions for Abbie is proving to be put to the test. Be prepared to be put on an emotional rollercoaster with its loop-de-loops of thrilling, edgy suspense. London Soul is another great hit by Ms. Malone. Once again while you have one happy ending, you’re left on the edge of your seat waiting for the next exciting duet!
London Soul by Nana Malone was emotional and inspiring with her trademark sharp writing. The steam and sweetness run parallel with suspense and thrilling twists. Abbie and Lex will make you fall in love madly and instantly.
Royal romance is the trope of Nana Malone. She can write about the opulence and troubles of royal lives so easily and simply that they feel like people we know every day. London Soul proves it once again. Lex may be one of the closely related prince of Nomea but he is like any other guy. A hot , attractive, arrogant, witty , charming and sexy guy nonetheless. But he has darkness in his past and secrets in his closet. Abbie has already been hurt and abused in her past. Can she see beyond the hidden truths of Lex trying to tear her apart? What will happen to the enigmatic and sinfully attractive legendary photographer and her teacher Xander aka Lex’s brother?
Abbie is one of my most favorite female lead character by Nana Malone. Her character was analysed in depth to explain and explore every fear, every weakness and every emotional baggage. And I feel really close to her. I am awed by her resilience and how she stood up for herself in face of great challenges. Their relationship is like a vital life force. Abbie soothes the bleeding and hurting parts of Lex’s heart. And Lex make her feel safe, cherished and complete. The constant obstructions life was throwing in their way may have heartbroken them but they came out stronger and closer at the end. Their chemistry was nuclear hot sealing their hearts together. Of course Nana Malone created a set of amazing secondary characters who gave life and depth to this story.
London Soul by Nana Malone is a perfect combination of sexy, suspense and dreamy romance. The journey was bitter sweet and I wanted more!
Received ARC for Honest review
London Soul is a great read. We were left hanging after Book 1 thinking that Abbie may have been abducted by her ex. Turns out it wasn’t the case but still the storyline was great. Abbie has a lot of insecurity issues, no thanks to her family and her abusive ex. Alexi has his own issues from his past as well – things you should never have to endure as a child. He isn’t sure who he can trust and his secrets are very well what may tear them apart because they don’t just involve him, but people he loves. Does Abbie let Alexi into her heart? Does Alexi share his dark secrets with Abbie? Do they get their HEA? Read this book to find out. Once again, Nana Malone does not disappoint. Now I am excited to read Xander’s story after the epilogue cliffhanger.
If you haven’t read London Royal, you need to read that first. This book picks up right after the events of that book and we get to see just how far Abbie and Lex go to be together. I love their strength and their determination. You feel everything and I couldn’t help but root for them and be frustrated at everything they were going through. This was a perfect ending and so happy!
There are not enough words to describe how much I LOVED this book! There is drama, mystery, suspense, danger and seriously HOT chemistry! Pretty much everything you need in an amazing book! You definitely need to read book 1 first because book 2 picks up right where the first one left off. The way book 1 left off I knew that book 2 was going to take me on one heck of a ride and I was not disappointed.
Abbie and Alexi were very strong characters that I loved but their friends in the story were also some of my favorite! I really hope that we get more stories that feature this group!
Overall this was another MUST READ book! By Alisa
Lex and Abbie go through so much in their conclusion. Secrets are exposed. Action rolls. And these two fall in love harder than ever. But it’s not easy or pretty because among those secrets are forces that would do anything to keep Abbie and Lex apart. Will they ever make it through all their obstacles?
Wow, this part was intense! I loved Abbie and Lex together, reading as they fell so deeply in love. This royal world of the author’s is not like any other royal saga I’ve ever read. Each book in exposes more secrets, more lies, more hidden actions. Dang…so intriguing and suspenseful! Now I’m anxiously awaiting Xander’s story. I have a feeling it’s going to be even crazier than Lex and Abbie’s.
This book is an amazing conclusion to Lex and Abbie’s story….they are two tortured souls looking for love and peace….there are many obstacles that threaten to tear them apart….great story!!!
Alexi and Abbi’s part 2
As always for the second book in these duets, they pick up exactly where book one finished, so the story hit the ground running from the cliff-hanger end of London Royal.
Normally my review process includes note taking in order to put my thought processes in place, but Nana Malone had me all kinds of excited because there were so many secrets and undercurrents, toxic relationships and red herrings, and, plenty of sexy romance going on, that I absolutely raced through this book in damn near one sitting!!!
Both Alexi and Abbie had so much in their past that they had to recover from, and the Chase Brothers had a dark childhood secret that scarred them both. It was absolutely tragic.
I love the way that Ms Malone can pull together plot twists seemingly out of thin air, although readers will always keep their suspicious wits about them trying to pre-empt anything that Nana can dream up. Still, betrayal comes from a dark corner, and I was surprised at the character who stepped up to the plate when they had too. Holy crap.
I have to again highly recommend these books as great reads, and I’m definitely looking forward to the duet for the next character in the family!!!! 4.5 Stars.
This is Part 2 in the story of Alexi (Lex) & Abena (Abbie). Alexi is determined to protect Abbie. There is a lot that goes on this story. It’s one thing after another. Alexi is still holding back from Abbie something major that went on in his life. There is action and suspense and a few surprises. Abbie is still dealing with trust issues because of her past relationship. It all falls into place in the end. This is an excellent conclusion to their story and written well, which is so important to be able to follow a story. I am so looking forward to the Nana Malone’s next book. She is a great writer. I highly recommend this duet.
Alexi and Abbie are our star-crossed lovers who can’t seem to stay on the same path together at the same time. Abbie is understandably still traumatized by her previous relationship with a wealthy social-ladder climbing ex who tried to control her life. Misunderstandings of intentions, deep-seated secrets and stubbornness continue to challenge Alexi and Abbie’s relationship. Will revelations create a domino effect in the negative or positive direction? There are a lot of twisty details all the way to the end which have the reader second guessing how it ends!
London soul is a suspenseful, moving, and sexy conclusion to the London Royal duet. Alexi and Abbie are still struggling with the secrets they hold close. Those secrets bring out those from the shadows who have their own agendas and could hurt them both. As Alexi and Abbie spend more time together, they can no longer deny their growing feelings. But their pasts may destroy them before they can reveal their truths. I loved how strong Abbie was, refusing to be a victim, and determined to make it on her own. My heart broke for both Alexi and Abbie as they were finally able to share their secrets. This is a fast paced, exhilarating story with several plot twists that surprised me. This story still has Malone’s signature wit and banter along with her emotional, and intriguing stories that I always enjoy and that keeps me totally engaged. She also made me fall for Alexi’s twin brother Xander, and I can’t wait for his story now!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Before her I was rich, entitled, and a possessive pain in the butt. Who am I kidding? I still am. Love wasn’t for me. I’d come to terms with that a long time ago. And then I met her. I was this close to freedom. But one look at her and I was caught in a web I couldn’t escape. One I didn’t want to escape. But then someone took her from em. Now they’ll find out just how far I’m willing to go to get her back. To save the woman I love, all I need to do is expose my secrets. Secrets that will have consequences for her and the crown.
This is the second book in the London Royal Series. You have to have read London Royal first or your going to be lost. Abbie and Lex did not have the easiest time falling in love. I thought it was super emotional and had me all over the place. It was one of those book that you love reading it build to the climax or the cliffhanger but this one takes off right where it needs too and has the same building that the first book had. It will have you reading from start to finish so make sure you have plenty of time. I promise your not going to put it down and your going to be on the edge of your seat. Maybe feel like you fought the war when this one is over. You’re right there with these characters the entire time. I loved it and I highly recommend this duet to any romance lover.
***3.5 stars***
London Soul is Book #2 in the London Royal Duet and picks right up where it ended in the jaw-dropping cliffhanger. It is necessary to read Book #1, London Royal first in order to understand this book.
Deceit, secrets, action, royals, family angst, passion, and heartbreak. Nana Malone takes us on a roller coaster ride with Alexi (aka Lexi) and Abena (aka Abbie). Secrets, lies, and both of their pasts threaten their chance at a future together. There is a wonderful cast of characters that keep everything interesting. I love the action and suspense. Lexi and Abbie had great chemistry, and I was rooting for them. The end of the book hints at peek at what is to come next and it left me slackjawed!!! It was a holy cow, OMG moment! I can’t wait to read the next book in this interconnect series!
****ARC generously provided in exchange for an honest review.****
This book picks up exactly where the cliffhanger left us. I won’t spoil it, but suffice it say, Abbie is ok and much stronger than even she knows.
Abbie and Alexi go through some things in this book. Things that might break other couples. We finally learn about Alexi’s past and get to meet his dysfunctional family. I was surprised, but not surprised towards the end, because I had a feeling that one of the characters would betray him, I just wasn’t sure how.
It also sets up Xander’s story which, OMGoodness!! I am now TOTALLY psyched for.
The Queen of Cliff Hangers has done it again. You will be salivating for another installment of these London royals.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a ARC of this book.
London Soul by Nana Malone is book Two in the London Series. This continues the story of Abbie and Lex, so you really should read the previous book ‘London Royal’ first to really understand their story.
This book does start where the other left off. Abbie has been dealing with her ex and of course Lex has his secrets. Everything starts to settle between them but nothing goes smooth.
Their story has been a page turner for me. So I was so happy to get my hands on this installment to their happy ending.
I received an Advanced Reader Copy from the publisher and am voluntarily reviewing it. If you recall, Part 1 of this series ended with a bang and a cliffhanger. Don’t fret, Abbie has turned into a fierce fighter. She is strong and refuses to let anyone take her down Easton Way again. Alexi has turned into a possessive caveman when it comes to Abbie. Abbie has to figure out the difference in the anger that radiates off of Alexi when he thinks that she is in danger.
This book has a lot going on with surprises galore. It seems that as soon as Lex and Abbie get their relationship on track again, something always comes up to derail it again. Readers will love this book and pray for a happy ending for this couple that keeps running into so many obstacles.
Don’t worry we are shot back into the present with even more shocking discoveries. Nana Malone definitely knows how to keep readers on their toes. This back-in-time love story is no exception.
I can’t wait to read about Xander and his wife. Hint, hint
London Soul is the stunning conclusion to Abbie and Alexei’s story! In perfect Nana Malone style there is a perfect amount of danger, intrigue and unexpected surprises that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Abbie and Alexei have had so many challenges in their growing relationship and obstacles preventing them from reaching their happily ever after. Abbie’s ex was always possessive and remained a threat. Alexei was keeping so many secrets about who he was and his past from her. Even though he had his best intentions, secrets have a way of coming out and threatened to ruin everything they built. Is their love and connection strong enough to overcome all the obstacles that they face? You will have to read this book to find out!
This book may be the conclusion to Abbie and Alexei’s story but it is not the end of the Royals. Get ready because this book will leave you wanting more and I can’t wait!
