I am in love with this couple and am loving the glimpses into the other Royals who are now my BFF’s. Jax and Neela are a combustible combination. Jax is hired to protect her under the guise of a manny but while he takes care of Mayzie, he really wants to spark with Neela. This was a slow burn to ignition romance with some intrigue thrown in as kindling. There is everything to love in this story.
“…she walked in, and every cell in my body had screamed GTFO, danger, asshole, danger.” ~ Jax
This book is a classic example of what I read books for! This author always delivers, but this book had all the regular Nana Malone goodness, the Royals, the secrets, the suspense, the tension, the intrigue, the lies, the betrayal, the development of love in every stage, PLUS EXTRAS! I loved every minute of this book, devoured it, skipped a meal and a nap for it, just could not put it down. When I noticed I was nearing the end I even tried to prolong it, that never works 🙁 The worst part about this author’s duets is the wait until the conclusion but she’s on a very short list of authors I’ll read cliff hangers from. So much going on in this book that I NEED the answers to! What happened to Willa? Whats the deal with the unbreakable code? What will Neela do when she learns Jax truth? Whats up with Prince Tristan? What’s in store for Ariel with the new company? Aaahhh the questions! I loved every minute of Neela finding her voice and asserting herself. And Jax the tortured but hot hero, yum, will he let go of the past and let love in? You’re killing me with these burning questions Ms. Malone but I trust they will all be answered and then some to give these two a much deserved HEA. So now we wait…
I liked this book but sometimes I felt Nana Malone was setting up for Ariel’s story. I wanted more Jax and Neela with Ariel thrown in for good measure. Sebastian annoyed me to the point I wanted to hurt him physically. I loved the different conversations between best friends, the inter conversations with themselves and the conversations between many characters. Sometimes all the conversations going on got a little confusing for me. In my opinion there was a lot of humor. There is a mystery going on that I really enjoyed, I wanted more. Not sure what Penny and Sebastian have to do with this story. In my opinion Nana Malone needed to reveal a little more on this. In my opinion if you are a Nana Malone Royal fan I think this is a good addition. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced readers copy.
I love how Ariel is put her team together. Ariel is a strong leader and get her frist job. will it failed due to her teammates. Protecting the heiress is s great books. I love how jax’s tired to stay away from neela and neela tied to stay way. He their to protect not fall in love. All hall is breaking lose will neela fired Jax for not tell the truth or will Jax cause neela and max get hurt in try to protect them . What will neela do and will Ariel team fall out. Can wait to see what happen . Will jax lose his job or will win neela and his job.
The Royals are back, well sorta. The Winston Isle saga continues with Protecting the Heiress. This duet features Jax and Neela. I don’t know what I liked more about this book. The convos between all the besties (Penny – Ariel, Neela – Bex) or the convos between the characters and their ahem inner character. I laughed so many times while reading. Total feel good book and I cannot wait until part 2.
ARC received for honest review.
This is the first book in the Heiress Duet and once again, Nana Malone delivers us a dramatic, suspenseful and amazing read that you just can’t put down. I loved it!
This is the first book in the Heiress Duet and definitely starts the series off with a bang. The chemistry between Neela and Jax was apparent the first time they met and only got stronger. But he needed to keep her at bay since she was his employer. He’s a ‘manny’ to her guardian daughter but she has no idea that he’s also an undercover bodyguard. Lots of suspense as they they try to find out who’s trying to harm her and the child. A mystery centers around a book with codes that was left to her by her good friend Willa after she died in a mysterious accident. Once you begin you’ll find this book hard to put down. It does end with a cliffhanger. Plenty of drama as secrets and passion unfold. I read an arc copy and voluntarily chose to review.
