The Benefactor is book 2 in the trilogy of Ben and Olivia. The book opens up right where book 1 left off and to be honest I was shocked at the culprit. The beginning of the book was shocking and very traumatic for Olivia but it presents the bigger picture of what is going on behind the scenes. The book has a lot of ups and downs but I absolutely love the reality of Olivia and Ben’s relationship. Also getting to see the Winston Isles crew is fantastic! The plot at the end is nothing short of brilliant but again we are left with a cliffhanger that has me clambering for the next book! Another well done read!
The Benefactor is the second in the See No Evil Trilogy, and continues Livy and Ben’s love/ hate relationship. I am enjoying this series and can’t wait for book three to see what happens next.
Book 2 starts off exactly where book 1 left us hanging and you will not believe the secrets and betrayal that fly from the pages.
Ben annoyed me a bit in this one, with his caveman ways, but I believe that was intentional… Then again Liv annoyed me with her stubbornness later on…
Putting all that aside once all cards are on the table, will they all be able to work together, or will they keep getting thwarted by surprises?
This is a short but sweet review as this is the middle book of a trilogy so it’s hard to talk about anything without ruining the journey. So much happens in this book, and I enjoyed it more than the first, truly invested now!!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
I am many things. Billionaire, rogue, rebel. But I never figured myself for a thief. My money can buy power, control, access. Even oaths of loyalty. the one thing it can’t buy is her…or her safety. I vowed to protect her…I failed. I can’t under any circumstances, fail again. In order to save her, I’ll have to five up the one thing that I value most-control. The Canary Jewel is the key. Tonight I am no longer a billionaire. Tonight I keep new secrets. My name is Ben Covington and tonight I am a thief.
This is the second book in the See No Evil Trilogy. You need to read Big Ben first or you are going to be lost. This is the continuation of Ben and Livy’s story. This book is fast paced and very action packed and you will be done before you know it because you are so engrossed in the story. You will not be able to put it down. I really fell for these two in Big Ben, but even more so in The Benefactor. Ben and the other Lords of London are still out for vengeance for their friend Toby against the Elite. They however can not do this one their own and need help to make this plan go like they need it to. Your going to love all the previous characters from other books that are in this on. Don’t worry though, if you haven’t read them you will just find some more character’s that you want to read their stories and find more to read. Just because Ben is trying to plot his revenge against the Elite. That doesn’t mean that he has forgotten about proving to Livy that she is his and his only. He will do anything to protect her but Livy is tired of being lied to and controlled or kept in the dark by men. She is after her independence and is not going to stop until she has it. This book is so good and I didn’t want to put it down. You are going to love this addition to the See No Evil Series. I can not wait to get For Her Benefit and see how their story turns out.
OMG!!! I am dying now! How can I go on without knowing what is going to happen next! Nana Malone drew me in and grabbed me with book 1 and then really hooked me with book 2. But now I am dying to get my hands on book 3!
I absolutely love these characters and I am so excited to get more of the crew from the Winston Isles! From the moment I started reading I couldn’t put this book down. There is drama, suspense, a fabulous story line and HOT steamy chemistry. The story that the author weaves keeps you guessing and throws in surprises at every turn. I never know what to expect and that is one of the many reasons I love her books.
This is a must read book and series for sure!

You can’t get enought of Ben & Livy!
Nana Malone is EVIL… But she makes you want MORE!!!
If you aren’t one to like to wait on HEA, you may want to wait a bit before diving in… But if you are like the rest of us, we just dive in thinking that Nana Malone may have mercy on us & be nice. NOPE! Not happening. She keeps you bitting your fingernails & yelling at her for ending a story (or part of the story) at the worse possible time (or that is what we say because she dropped another bomb!) Sad thing (or not so sad) is that we KNOW it is going to happen and we still continue reading…
Part 2 of Ben & Livy’s story takes us deeper into their like/hate/love relationship. We are continuing the journey of Ben & his friends working to take down the Elite. They have devised a plan, but Ben doesn’t want this to put Livy in any type of danger. But trouble seems to find them and you are no closer to knowing who is out to get them.
As I read the story, I was looking for the clues as to what puddle they would step in next. You know there there is a deep deception and danger looming. The danger of the story brings to light the friendship and family between the group. They are all trying to piece together their lives while making things right for the friend they lost.
Livy was left in Book 1, running for her life. Everywhere she goes, trouble seems to find her. But this brings out Ben’s protective side. The two of them are trying to figure out how they feel and how to coexist with each other, while keeping their independence.
Ben & Livy made me love them, hate them, want to scream & yell. Ben was the ALPHA male that wanted things his way. But as the story progresses, you see into the reasons he was that way. Livy was a strong, Bad A$$, but she was fighting to find out who she really was while not having control of her life…
These two are a match made for the pages, but the adventure is not over and you will be SHOCKED for a bit more.
Bring on Part 3 and put us out of our misery!
Wow. Another great book with so many twist & turns. I cannot wait to know how this one turns out!
The Benefactor picks up right where Big Ben left off and book 2 in this trilogy is filled with just as much non-stop action, drama and steamy moments as the first one!
Secrets are being kept!
Danger lurks around every corner!
And the chemistry between Ben and Livy is off the charts!
I absolutely enjoyed the push and pull of their complicated relationship as they seemed to love to get under each other’s skin, but that undercurrent of danger throughout this story is what kept me riveted!
Their relationship may have started off with a chance encounter but it seems they are discovering that their lives are more closely intertwined than even they realize.
This story is exciting and has so many intricate parts all moving at the same time it will definitely keep you hanging on to the edge of your seat waiting to see how it all unfolds. Hang on because this story isn’t over and I know I can’t wait to see the big picture and how all of the puzzle pieces finally fit together!
Ben and Livy’s story continues. This one gives you a better idea of how bad*ss Livy can be. I will say at times she did annoy me. Her constant I’m going to anticipate the worst about Ben often causes the worst to come out. She is strong and independent.
Ben is in full alpha mode trying desperately to protect her, but you get the impression her head for protection may not be the flash drive!
Lords of London are all strong interesting alphas and I can’t wait to read their individual stories.
It was good to see favorite characters from the Winston Isles in this book.
You’ll get fast pace, a twist, tons of sexy Time and a mystery to solve (actually more than one).
It ends in a cliffhanger, but we all expected that.
Just like every other book by this author, she leaves me stunned! I forgot this was to be a trilogy so the cliffhanger really caught me off guard! But oh, what a story she weaves! I can’t wait each time a new story is released and this was no exception. Strong women characters – did I say STRONG? – and their equally frustrating and handsome men keep me glued to the screen each and every time.
I’m not sure you want to jump into these stories in the middle any more. They are so interwoven that my brain needs a reminder of who everyone is and how they connect. The author does a great job in assisting me in the task and building up to the next facet. I hope she never stops writing about the Winston Isles and their ever growing family and friends!
I received an ARC from the author for an honest and unbiased review. No compensation was promised or received for this review.
This is Book #2 in the trilogy and picks up right where Book 1 left off with the action continues right from the start. It is necessary to read Book #1 in order to understand what is going on. The story was fast-paced, intense, and steamy. We get to see how Bennet “Ben” Covington and Olivia “Livy” progress in their relationship. Liv continues to search for answers to complete her book. As secrets are revealed, we get answers to some questions and are left needing answers to more questions. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat and keeps you guessing. There are great characters. Ben was already hot and swoony but the hotness factor is kicked up several notches here. Olivia shows more of her strength, independence, and backbone. I liked her even more in this book. Some characters from previous books make appearances and we get new characters as well who add to the excitement. That cliffhanger though! It had me on the edge of my seat! I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Again, here we are in the world Nana Malone creates and drowns us in. This series is MAGNIFICENT! I love the writing and the men in this series. Ben Covington is ready to confess all his secrets to the woman he loves because he needs to protect her. But Livy Ashong is not sure she can trust him anymore. Her heart wants him, but she cannot figure out if his feelings for her are real.
The suspense, the chemistry, the world Livy is stumbling on to finish her mom’s book, is all coming to an explosive “OMG” moment. You can feel something big is about to happen. Between Ben’s secret life and Livy’s research, I am on the edge of my seat. Start this trilogy today!!!
Wow, what a thrilling continuation to Ben and Livy’s story! Their story picks up at the heart stopping ending in book one and hits the ground running! As the story continues Livy learns about the London Lords and The Elite and the possible reasons her life has been in danger. She is angry with Ben and wants to make her own life decisions. She is more determined than ever to finish the book her mother started on Human Trafficking. Ben still wants to keep her safe but knows if he smothers her, he will lose her for good. They still have a fiery chemistry and are unable to stay away for long. Ben and his friends are still maneuvering for a new Director Prime. To do that, they need a plan to obtain the priceless Canary Jewel. It was so much fun when they solicited the help from some of our favorite royals from the Winston Isles! As their heist plans take shape, and Livy’s research becomes alarming, all their lives are more in danger. This story was fast paced and full of action, and comes to a fevered, heart pounding outcome! There were some questions answered in this second book, but so many more secrets that need to be reveled. I can’t wait for the conclusion to Ben & Livy’s exciting and steamy story in bk #3 of the See No Evil Trilogy, For Her Benefit!
The Benefactor had my heart racing and tension building in my shoulders within the first two paragraphs. The adrenaline rush never entirely went away as I continued to read more about Ben and Livy. I love the suspense of the story; I also enjoy the in-depth unveiling of the characters’ inner works. However, my favorite part is the mystery that unveils some clues but boggles your mind trying to piece everything together. I am just as confused, if not more, than Livy, herself. I love being able to predict what will happen, but Malone made sure in this novel that solving this mystery would not be an easy one. Malone is an expert at writing strong, confident woman and their overly-protective alpha males. You see this in the banter and quick whit that each character, not only the main characters, share and weaves a well-woven story that keeps you enamored. I would read this book, while wide awake, or you may miss an important detail that is critical. The Benefactor is a fantastic addition to the Winston Isle’s world.
I received a free copy in exchange for my honest review.
The Benefactor brings us back to the Elite in a big way! Big Ben ended with a huge cliffhanger and this book picked up right where it left off. I was hooked in those first few pages and this book held me captive the whole way! I love the secret society aspect of this trilogy and how awesome Livy is! Ben is no slouch and his group of friends are all over solving this mystery. I cannot wait for book 3!!
I received an Advanced Reader Copy from the publisher and am voluntarily reviewing it.
What the?!?!? Nana does it again. Let me first prepare you. There is more to come. This book begins where the first book of this series ended. All our beloved characters are back. Livy and Ben are trying to work through this difficult situation while keeping their hearts in tack. Some secrets are revealed and Team Winston Isles shows up and shows out. Yes!! Though I am truly in love with the London Lords, I always need some Team Winston Isles in my life.
This book has a lot going on. Livy is still trying to connect the dots to finish her mom’s book. Ben and the guys are still working on taking down the Elite and protecting Livy with their own lives. Things get real quick. Through it all you are on the edge of you seat trying to keep up with all the emotions and energy that flow right into you.
Nana throw readers for a loop with this one. Another cliffhanger! Nana had gotten us used to a two book series. This one will be three. Don’t worry. You will have no problem sticking around for book three. In fact, you will be clamoring for the last book in the series. Nana pulls you in hook, line and sinker. I just have to pray she doesn’t make us wait too long.
Had to keep putting this book down- because I didn’t want it to end! The beginning was definitely a plot twist! I sure didn’t see it coming. It was great to “see” Lucas again. I’m loving how the characters in so many of her books make appearances in other duets/trilogies. Its like being updated on family members. The end is a cliffhanger for sure! Can’t wait to see if there’s another plot twist! “For Her Benefit” can’t come out soon enough!
What a wild ride the book was, The Benefactor, book 2 in this trilogy. It picks up right where it left off with Livy being taken. Once she is found she is really overwhelmed and retreats. But Ben keeps on going after Livy till she bends The heist at the end was something incredible with another major cliffhanger I am loving this series so much and can’t wait for the next and last book in this series. As usual Nana delivers another great book. Loving Ben and Livy.
So, Book 1 (Big Ben) leaves you with a big cliffhanger. Book 2 (The Benefactor) picks up immediately after Book 1, however, even though we know who tried to kidnap Livy, we still don’t know who was behind it. Both Ben and Livy withheld information from the other, so each one of them has trust issues with the other. The story to advocate Toby moves along through this book and so does the progression of Ben and Livy’s relationship. Then just when you are getting excited about finding out all of the answers – BOOM – the second book ends on a cliffhanger as well. I CAN. NOT. WAIT. to read the final book to see where this road takes us. Great job, as usual, Nana Malone.
Ben and Olivia’s story continues to keep me enthralled. There is danger to this story as well as Ben and his friends work to un-seat the VanLinsteds. Livy is still being threatened by sources unknown. As with Big Ben, this ends with a big cliffhanger… knew it was coming but still anxiously waiting to see how the story will conclude. Who took Livy? Who has been after her? Does it tie into the story her mother was working on? Is it related to the Elite? SO many questions… and how will Ben handle it all… Nana Malone… please keep writing and bring us the conclusion to this exciting story!!
