Xander is the playboy prince who always gets what he wants especially women. Imani isn’t so easy to get, even if one night with Xander left her unable to forget it. The chemistry between these two is electric but neither one want to give in or admit it. Will the proposition be accepted by Imani? How will she keep her heart from getting broken by Xander? A killer cliffhanger making you NEED the next book now. Lucky that the next book comes out in February.
Royal Playboy is the love story of Xander, a ruthless playboy turned successor to the crown, and Imani, an up and coming actress with a secret past. Imani meets the stunning Xander while researching a role she is far from comfortable with. Despite the fireworks, Imani runs scared. But Xander will do anything to protect the woman he loves, even if it costs him his own life.
Nana Malone doesn’t disappoint with the Royal Playboy; it is romantic, suspenseful, sexy, addictive and ends like the rest of her hits, with a major cliffhanger that will leave you craving more!
I read an ARC of Royal Playboy and willingly left this honest review.
Another fab new release by Nana Malone! #OneClick
I liked the characters in the story the sisters were very funny, I enjoyed the way the story had a happy ending
Very good book, wished it was longer and I like that it was love at first sight. I hate that he and his brother had a tragic young life.
I loved this book! This second chance romance was a roller coaster of emotions while at the same time it was unputdownable. This book had many fantastic lines and inner dialogue. This is the first time I read a Nana Malone book, but I can assure you, it will not be the last. Nana Malone delivered a fun, entertaining, suspense, and edge of your seat story with a cliffhanger. This story starts out with the suspense of what happened to Xander and Imani! This is Xander Chase and Imani Aysem Brooks’ story of a second chance. Sometimes second chances aren’t quite what you expect. Xander is a rich playboy that is very handsome, dynamic and wealthy as sin—there is no shortage of stunning women willing to share his bed. But when he meets Imani, she is a challenge the jaded playboy can’t refuse. A chance encounter occurs with the sexy playboy and Imani that turns into a one night stand—a one night with a stranger—and yet, he’s not, he flirted with her, he kissed her, he hooked up with her, and he gave her orgasms. Their unexpected attraction to each other is so intense, but the chemistry like the one they have can only be denied for so long. When something burns that hot it’s bound to explode eventually, right! Their journey to love is intoxicatingly unusual, perfectly paced, and all around fascinating. Nana Malone manages to weave plot lines centered on romantic ideas with artfully developed main characters. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Oh my god! How can nana do this to me? Nana Malone is an incredible writer who knows how to write the worlds best cliffhangers and she’s the only one I love reading as I not much a fan of cliffhangers but she has me coming back for more each time she brings a new book out! The story flows really well, the writing has you gripped and not wanting to put the book down. The passion is sizzling, the drama is intense and the characters are fabulous, you can’t help but liking them! Another addictive read from the author that had me powering through the story in no time at all. You’re pulled right in, and when the book ends you’ll be desperate for more. Well worth the read if you’re a fan of the author. So roll on the next book please as quickly as you can. Happy reading!!
This is the first book in the Playboy Prince Duet, and the story of Xander, and Imani. When playboy Xander meets aspiring actress Imani, the sparks fly. This was a great read, very entertaining, the characters are well written, and their story kept me engaged, and I can’t wait to continue in the next book. This was intense, suspenseful, emotional, raw, passionate, and steamy!
I’m terrible with cliffhangers! I admit it. I’m a greedy reader with grabby hands and I want it all now!
I have so many questions. I have so many reasons to want Xander to see his revenge through. Ahhhhhh! I just need Playboy’s Heart so I can get my answers.
Look at me! I’m turning into that annoying whiner no one wants to acknowledge or talk to! I’m frustrated absolutely frustrated.
Xander is an ass but this bad boy royal has so many reasons to be a guarded twat. I forgive. You will too. I just need to know what happens next!!!!!!
The opening to this book…and the end…OMG, I didn’t love Xander in his brother’s story, but I totally love him in his own! Imani is everything he needs, but didn’t think he could have and I love them together! I need book 2 NOW!
loved my trip to London and the story
Grab your eReader and have your finger ready to push/click add to cart or instant. You are going to be there for every tap of the screen and every new chapter. “Prodigal Son. Black Sheep. Playboy Prince.” You get to decide. Along the way see something more.
I, as a fan of Nana Malone, will say from the start you need to have read the other books from this world. At the very minimum London Calling, London Bound (aka Chase Brothers). No. It will not change the fact that this was a good read. No. It will not changes your like or love of the characters. Yes. It will give you something more and extra from the characters.
Pick up Royal Playboy.
Nana Malone continues once again after London Soul with Xander and Imani and boy all our questions are about to be answered. These two think they don’t need each other but anybody can see how right they belong together. I loved that Imani tries her best but when it comes to Xander she has no idea who she is dealing with. One minute he is all sweet and the next he can be dangerous. Nana Malone just shows us how awesome these London men can be, smooth, sweet, dangerous and oh so sexy. Cannot wait for Part 2 of this duet and see what Imani will do next. Readers got to get this duet don’t wait it is one you go to read.
“I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own.”
Fantastic characters, intriguing plot and terrific writing. For me this is one of the best by this author. A hero with a tragic past and an interesting medical condition and poor American actress looking for her break in London. I love the super sexy Xander and the beautiful woman that helps him past his medical condition. Imani has more in common with Xander than either one knows. I can’t wait for all the secrets to come out. It sets up to be really emotional but I’ll have to wait for the next story. What an ending! I need the next part now! I was pulled in from the beginning with the daring meeting between Imani and Xander, the plot for revenge, the wonderful relationship between Xander and his brother, Lex, and the swoon worthy, slow burn romance. When our lovers finally hit the sheets is sizzling! I love this pairing of the lovely actress with a traumatic incident in her past that reappears and the hunky royal adjacent with plan for vengeance that includes help from Imani. Great connection between these two. Sweet, sexy and really enticing. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.
Thank you Social Butterfly and the author for a complimentary copy. I voluntarily reviewed this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
Royal Playboy
Playboy Prince Duet #1
By: Nana Malone
*REVIEW*
Royal Playboy is the first book in a new duet by Nana Malone. Imani and Xander have an unconventional story. For starters, the prologue, in present day, is an intense what just happened kind of thing. The rest of the book flashes back to four years earlier and explains how they met. Imani is an emotionally scarred young woman carrying a lot of responsibility. Due to circumstances beyond her control, Imani is suddenly in desperate need of money, but she knows a way to get it. Enter Xander, the solution to her money problem. As it turns out, there is something that Xander needs from Imani as well. They help each other, and through this we learn that Xander has a lot of trauma from the past. They are good together and are slowly drawn deeper into the heart of the other until there’s no turning back. The story has its light and sassy moments, but there are also dark moments with possible trigger situations. Imani and Xander make for a compelling and troubled yet, hopeful and resilient, couple. I genuinely cared about the outcome for these two because it was so easy to imagine their world, as the author rendered it beautifully. The ending is a cliffhanger indeed, and it harkens back to the prologue, bringing you full circle, well, almost. Don’t worry, though, there will be another book, Playboy’s Heart, available February 25th. Fingers crossed for answers!
Royal Playboy by Nana Malone is the first book in her latest duet, Playboy Royal. This is the story of Xander Chase whom we met in his brother Alexi’s duet, London Royal. Keeping with same style, the story opens with a dramatic moment in present time and takes us back to see how Xander and his wife met and fell in love. Told in dual POV between Xander and Imani, this story is just the beginning of their tale. With both of them so guarded it’s difficult for them to share their secrets and drop their walls but as the reader you learn that the demons that haunt each of them are eerily similar. Sexy and funny with so much burning sexual chemistry and tension between these two I thoroughly enjoyed this and am eagerly awaiting the conclusion to Xander and Imani’s story. Enjoy!
Loving this Playboy!
Nana has once again left us wanting more… Book 1 of the duet leaves us wanting the conclusion…LIKE NOW!
Xander is a playboy! He also has more to him! You never know what path your life will take you on. Xander has lived life to the fullest but past soon catches up with the present.
Imani is on her own path. She is trying to learn to live beyond the baggage of her past. She manages to excel in her life but not without struggle.
When Imani & Xander are together, they help one another… They provide each other with strength and positivity.
Their stories unfolds, but before you get to their full happiness… YES, you guessed it, Nana leaves us with a Cliffhanger…
She once again leaves you wanting more… Bring it on!
I am speechless! Nana did it again with her mysterious characters and intriguing twists that will leave you wanting more. Xander and Imani’s story is amazing! I can’t wait to see what will happen next!!
I voluntarily leave an honest review of this Advanced Readers Copy!!
I so enjoyed these two characters! I have not read any of the other books about the Chase brothers but will be looking at the other books by this author!!
Imani and Xander are just what the other needs. Imani is trying to help her sister, Xander needs help by having a fake girlfriend. Perfect right?
The chemistry between these two is off the charts! I look forward to reading the next one!!
Xander, Xander, Xander. Hotter than hell Xander. Can’t get enough Xander. I’m even more in love with you then your brother Xander. AMAZING characters. Brilliant. Xander and Imani are even more addictive then Lex and Abby were and that says something. Be warned – this book ends with a major cliffhanger. Do I regret not waiting till the second book is out so I could binge read? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Am I counting down days towards the second book and bitting my nails in the process? ABSOLUTELY YES.
Following the relationship between Xander and Imani was awesome! It was a bit slow at first, but I loved how their romance developed. They have a great chemistry together and it really shows. Both of them are also super interesting – bit different and same at once. They both have demons and shadows of the past lurking but the way it all unfolds in the story is just perfect. Nana Malone is a genius, real-life genius.
5 huge gigantic stars!
This story will break you in the first few chapters. Then as Nana Malone’s weaves her story you love how Xander tells his story of how he fell in love with Imani. Imani has her own tell to tell us, her story is just as captivating.
