New Release, Royal Romance, Action packed royal intrigue
Whose the royal writing queen? Nana Malone is. Tristan and Ariel didn’t disappoint. This is a action packed page turner with a lot of sexiness. It’s book one of a duet. It’s told in different points of view, no cheating, and part of a duet. I highly recommend this book. You won’t be disappointed.
You just knew that from the other stories that there was more to Ariel than what you could see from the few glimpses of her. Now. NOW, we get her story and it was so worth every single page turned. It was so worth every time we meet her in the past (books). I going to tell you right now that I want so badly to give this one a five star rating, but the only is that I cant go higher on the next and final installment. This was such a good read. It had me on the edge of my seat. Turning pages. I going to tell you when I started I was just going to do five chapters to get me read for the next day to jump right back in to things. It didn’t work out that way. I was on full speed ahead. I turned page after page and then I was done. I so a ready for the next installment.
A•R•C ~ I was given Return of the Prince by Nana Malone as an Advanced Readers Copy (A•R•C) from Give Me Book Promotions. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.
5 out of 5 STARS
Nana Malone has once again written a brilliant duet book #1 with the Return of the Prince: The Prince Duet Book #1. Amazing Characters as always, plot twists and very original stories keep me coming back to read more from Nana Malone.
Ariel and Tristian’s story is one that has lasted them from teenagers through adults, even with feeling left behind Ariel still loves Tristian and even though Tristian thought Ariel didn’t want him his heart beats for only her.
We have a lot of twists and turns in this book dirty abusive manager’s, horrible evil family and traitors are just the beginning of the adventure you travel through while reading this book.
Again 5 out of 5 stars, great read, would recommend this to everyone!
We finally have Tristan and Ariel’s story, after ten years they are reunited. I loved reading the first part of their story and I am looking forward to reading the second part. Nana Malone knows how to weave a wonderful story and this book is no exception.
4.4 stars
Ariel’s story has finally arrived and it is as delicious as the woman herself. Since we met her, she has proven herself to be a strong, capable woman with her own style and ability to own up to her actions. Ariel has been in love with Tristan since she was a child and they had plans to be together. However, one night changed everything. Fast forward ten years….Tristan’s life is in danger and his world is about to collide with Ariel’s bringing along his fiancée Ella. Tasked by King Sebastian to guard Tristan, Ariel does her duty but there are unresolved feelings on both sides and Tristan is hiding a secret. Like other books in the wonderful world of the Winston Isles, it ends in a bit of a cliffhanger leaving readers wanting to know where Ariel and Tristan go from here. This is one entertaining read that started out a little slow and I look forward to the continuation of their story.
I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book and all opinions are my own.
In Return of The Prince by Nana Malone we finally get the whole Ariel story!!! Let me say I’ve been waiting on her book! Ariel remains the same spit-fired woman. But when she comes face to face with her past, can she let all the anger, and resentment she harbors go?
When Tristan left ten years ago, Ariel and Tristan were young and in love, but there was one person who didn’t want Tristan to have happiness.
Return Of The Prince is full of twists, and turns, intrigue and emotion. I LOVED every moment!! I can’t wait to see where Ariel and Tristan’s story goes in the future!!
Another great one from Nana Malone! Seriously couldn’t put it down.
Nonstop action and snark! Two of my favorite things.
I can’t wait to dive into the next one! It’s needed….like now.
Since we first met the gang of the Winston Isles, Ariel has always been very special and important character in all her facets as a royal guard, best friend, protector, boss, daughter, but we where missing an important part, her love. Her story is one of the most awaited one and Nana really does not disappoint us.
From the very first word you know that this is a book you will not be able to put down until the very end and then you will want to know more right away.
Ariel has a secret love in her past and even though there was/is a lot of love for this person, there is a lot of heartache and disappointment too. things are a bit easier when the person of interest is not close by, but when he is always in the news and you get to know his every move it could be truly painful. Ariel is a lot of fun but at the same time she is totally badass, but at what price. She thinks she has her life back on track or she is starting to, but when your kings request something from you, you obey, even if your heart is about to break and your life will flip upside down. Tristan decided to leave the Isles in pursuit of his career but now that he wants to come back he can’t. After a life threatening event he will be face to face with the only girl he has ever loved and the one he abandon many years ago. Putting your life in the hands of the only person that truly has many reasons to kill you will not be easy for Tristan, but Ariel will prove that even though she can barely contain her anger and pain, she can protect the thing that she loves more than anything.
This is an amazing story filled with conspiracies, love, seduction, action, friends, unexpected twists and great surprises, awesome villains, and great friends. Can’t wait to see what will happen with Tristan and Ariel as they continue their story.
Thank you Nana Malone for giving Ariel her own story! I’ve been waiting for her story since the first Book in all the Royals! Ariel is a very strong woman and loyal to her friends and family. She’s had a rough couple of months after losing her position as a royal guard. Although, she’s not going to let anything slow her down while starting her own security business. The only thing she’s missing is her one true love.
Tristan is a prince that has been exiled because of his family, but he’s determined to set himself apart and show that he’s not like his family. The one woman he fell in love with, he left and she despises him. Although, he’s now engaged things are not at all as they seem.
This book will take you on a ride and unfortunately leave you with a cliffhanger, as Nana Malone is known for. If you haven’t read any of her books, I suggest you start with at least the first in the series. You won’t be disappointed!
In Return of the Prince we get to see Ariel’s softer side. She’s always so badass, kicking butts and taking names first as a Royal Guard and then with her own agency. This book shows us some of her past and why her heart has always belonged to one man even if he did throw her away.
But did he? Torn apart by a wicked sibling and now kept apart by circumstances can Tristen and Ariel find their happy. This book ends on a cliff hanger that makes you have a hard time waiting for part two. The see how it all resolves. Tristen and Ariel are truly in love but is it enough and can they love each other free and clear.
I received an advanced copy of this book for a honest review.
I loved it. It’s another great addition to this series. It’s always fun to read about the whole gang! I’m ready for the next one! I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
Another fabulous book by Nana Malone. It’s so good couldn’t put it down. Loved every second. Want more now. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
FINALLY! Ariel gets her story!!! I’ve been waiting for this since the beginning! She is by far my favorite character in this series, she’s spunky, strong, and a complete badass! Ariel’s story always was a mystery and now that we get to read about her and Tristan, it’s all starting to make sense. I really can’t wait to read what happens next, and Nana always leaves you at the edge of your seat, you won’t be disappointed.
I voluntarily leave an honest review of this Advanced Readers Copy!
Another Winston Isles adventure! We finally get some dirt on Ariel and Prince Tristan, and man… it did not disappoint.
There’s tension here, like lots of it. These two characters can’t be in the same room for longer than about 15 seconds without heading for a fight. They both believe the other abandoned them ten years prior when they were young, in love, and going to run away together. Now? He’s engaged, she’s guarding him as a King’s Knight because someone is trying to take him and his fiancé out and everyone is about to figure out the secret they’ve kept all this time.
GET IT. READ THESE. They are all fun, and full of action and hilarious dialogue and like a warm hug getting back to the Isles and the giant family she’s built of characters there.
Nana Malone was again gives us another story from Winston Isles. This is Ariel and Tristian’s story.
You will pick this up and not put it down until you know what happened ten years ago to have Tristian walking away from Ariel and what happens when they reconnect. As they both give into and fight their attraction you just know they belong together.
This is another action packed story with huge romantic angst.
I’ve always thought Ariel was a bada** and this story just proves that her sense of loyalty to her friends, her king and a former love run deep. And she will forward anything to keep those she cares about safe.
It ends in a cliff hanger, but we’ve come to expect this in all the Winston Isles series.
I love this couple.
I was given this book for an honest voluntary review.
Eek! Ariel and Tristan have to be my favourite couple so far! I love all of Nana Malone’s books but for some reason this one is on a whole other level. I love the drama, chemistry, banter, emotions and their storyline is just perfect.
Of course I knew it would end on a cliffhanger but I had no idea it would drive me this crazy! I need book two!!
So, this book just started off amazing. And continued to be amazing until the very end. While I’ve come to expect this from Nana Malone, I certainly don’t take it for granted. This is a truly talented author, and Return of the Prince is just the latest of her amazing books.
I have been waiting for Ariel’s book for a while. She just got more interesting and made me crave her story with every new piece of information I got in previous stories. I liked that this was a second chance romance story, and Ariel’s scenes with Tristan were everything I love about the second chance sub-genre. The fights over the past, the tension both from pent up anger and desire, the chemistry and of course that great moment when they give into everything they’ve been fighting. This book lived up to everything I hoped it would be. And now I cannot wait for the next book in this duet.
It was so wonderful finally getting to read Ariel’s story. Ariel has been such an important part of past books and to read about Tristan and Ariel was exciting. Ariel is assigned to protect Tristan after not seeing each other for 10 years because of a misunderstanding. Tristan is back and has a killer after him. This story is well-rounded with such interesting characters. The suspense, secrets, and emotions in this story will grab and keep your attention. Ariel is tough, smart and caring it was interesting to read about Tristan and her relationship. There are twists and turns in this story that made for a wonderful reading experience, really enjoyed the story.

Wow, just wow! I’ve loved all the books set on the Winston Isles! The Return of the Prince is AMAZING! I’ve been waiting for Ariel’s story since the Royals Undercover series! Return of the Prince has characters from all the previous books, none of whose stories you need to read to follow this book, but who make this book even better if you have.
The cliffhanger wasn’t too terrible but I still cannot wait for the conclusion.
Return of the Prince was gripping and engaging. Suspenseful and an emotional roller coaster. There are so many intriguing storylines weaved throughout this book that you never knew what would happen next. If you’re looking for an amazing romantic suspense story then pick up this book/series (do yourself a favor and start with the Royals Undercover duet). You’ll be hooked and fall in love with these characters.
I received an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest and voluntary review.
