The Billionaire’s Secret is the second book in the Billionaire’s Duet. I love reading and following the conclusion of Theo and Zia’s story. I love reading Nana Malone’s books,she has a way of finding pulling the reader into the story. I find them hard to put down once I start reading.
The first book, Bodyguard to the Billionaire, presented the growing relationship between our bodyguard heroine, Zia, and her “protectee” Hero, Theo, although she thought it was, who we now know, his twin brother, Derrick. This book, continues where the last one left off, with Zia reeling from the realization that Theo has been lying to her this entire time. Their romance takes a side seat in this book because they’re trying to uncover who and why someone is trying to kidnap and hurt both of them, and how that someone knows the other twin exists since each of them only found out recently. Neither Derrick or Theo can figure out why their father loathes both of them, nor his reasons for separating them at birth. As each of them digs deeper, more questions surface which covers the first 80% of the book. Throughout this book, we get to revisit with the entire Winston Isles team since their cousin, Sebastian and his queen Penny, and all the King’s Knights work together to seek out answers. Although all the loose ends are tied up at the end, the way it played out seemed too easy and a bit rushed.
Great characters and a great read. Thank you.
Oh my gosh I love this series so much
The Billionaire’s Secret starts where book one (Bodyguard to the Billionaire) left us and wow, what a treat.
Theo is still as amazing as he was in the first but in this one, he goes through so much more and has to wrap his head around everything. Once they uncover what is actually going on it’s mind blowing and heartbreaking and I feel so much for him.
Zia is still as badass as always. The only thing that got to me with her in this one is the fact that she kept going against everything she had been trained to do and undermine herself and her work just to bone, it irked me because she’s an amazing woman and excels at her job but even through that I loved her. She’s amazing.
Watching these two after the aftermath was intriguing, I’ve been rooting for these two since the first spark of chemistry and damn, their chemistry is insanely hot.
Nana Malone is hands down my favourite writer of royals. I’m so in love with all of these beauties from the Winston Isles and can never get enough.
The Billionaires Secret was a great conclusion of this series and I’m so excited to see where they go next.
It was intense and sexy and it’ll keep you hooked from book one all the way through to the end of book two and still leave you wanting more.
The duet is complete. Zia and Theo has come to a heart stopping, blood pounding conclusion. This book is enthralling, captivating, erotic in nature, and just plain sexy. No one rights royal romance like the queen Nana Malone. Just one click. You won’t regret it. It is told in different points of view, no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a hea. I highly recommend this book.
Wow just Wow !! Who would have seen that coming ?? Not me !! Zia couldn’t believe it either and since Theo didn’t know he was really royalty, he couldn’t even believe what was happening ??
Let me just tell you I never saw what was coming until Nana blew my mind with this installment !!
There is so much I want to say about this book BUT i don’t want to spoil the adventure for anyone !! The hoops and turns atheism and Zia have to go through to ever even thing about just to find LOVE will rock your socks off !!
This was so much FUN to read !! Get to it !!
Once again we have a royalty duet that was full of suspense and so many twist and turns!
Derrick and Theo are being hunted. The WI crew are working hard to determine who is behind the kidnapping and assassination attempts.
Meanwhile Theo and Zia are figuring out their relationship. Can Zia continue protecting Theo even after losing his trust?
Theo has finally found someone he falls in love with, in a place he never saw himself coming back to. He wanted to finish the agreement and go back home to his mom but now Zia is in the picture and he must stay and fight for her.
Of course the book ends with a bang and your left intrigued and waiting for the next one in the Royal Elite Series!
This is such a thrilling experience. I really enjoyed reading this series, I must say that they are absolutely delightful. If you enjoy suspense, drama, and very emotional stories like I do then Nana Malone Secret Billionaire is just one of many you will find absolutely delightful. Oh my the characters are so believable with lots romance and sizzling passion. There is plenty of emotions that will make you smile and give you such a amazing feeling. If this is your first time reading Nana Malone this book will make you want to read more.
Great story I really enjoy reading her material
Firstly, don’t even think about attempting to read this book if you haven’t read Book 1 yet. This is more like a ‘part 2’ than a ‘book 2’ – it is not standalone at all. That said, it’s a fantastic finish! I love the characters in the Winston Isle/Royals related books & each book just builds on those. This book sees the conclusion of Theo & Zia’s story & while it did get a little confusing there for me it’s still an excellent read. My only negative, and it’s one I’ve mentioned in my reviews for this author before, it that coming in to a conclusion book I would like to have a quick description of who the main players are again. Sometimes I’m reading and a character pops up in the story with the expectation that I’ll know who it it. Eventually I work it out, but it would be quicker and more enjoyable if there was just something to prompt my memory of the character list. Overall though, this is a small thing in such an enjoyable read.
4.5 stars
Here we have the exciting conclusion to Nana Malone’s Billionaire Duet, with the Billionaire’s Secret. Please ensure you’ve read Bodyguard to the Billionaire before reading this book.
Malone picks up right where we left off in book one but we’re quickly immersed in all kinds of family secrets. I had a suspicion about the bad guy in this book but the author definitely kept us guessing by throwing plenty of ne’er-do-wells in our path. Zia is back with the King’s Knights and along with the whole team, is desperate to find the person out to get the boys, all while battling her feelings for Theo.
While this book wasn’t as much fun as the first one for me, I thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait for the next installment!

The Secret’s Out…
Book 2 of the duet. Do not read it before Bodyguard to the Billionaire.
Another set of royals comes to an end. Nana Malone knows how to bring all the intrigue of the Royal Life while making you fall in love with the real people behind the title. As with the Royals of the past, there are secrets to expose and hearts to mend.
So when your bodyguard becomes the woman you are meant to love, you have to hope that she doesn’t walk away when she learns your lies. And you need to hope that she loves you enough to still protect you and your secret!
Theo and Zia are both determined to finish the job they were tasked with. While these jobs may a bit more difficult now that the secrets are out, they know what their duties are.
We can’t get enough of the Winston Isles, and these two are definitely going to keep you wanting more of this world! Nana Malone, as always, has done it again!
Holy wowness. First the cliffhanger in book one and now the twists and turns in this book. I did not suspect at all who was behind everything. And the reasons behind it. Now my curiosity is piqued and I want more. More Derrick and more Arlingtons. I think there is more to tell there and I’m hoping Ms Malone will tarry on with them (hint hint).
This is the second book in the Billionaire Duet Series. Theo and Zia’s story continues and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Beware, once you start reading you’ll find this book hard to put down. Lots of drama and no shortage of twists. Well written with strong, interesting characters and an engaging storyline. I loved this book and know you will.
In one word for the second part of this duet is WOW. Nana Malone sure had me thinking who the real villain was even Derek himself but dang did she throw in a twist to it. There is only one person who really I thought was behind it but once again Derek and Theo are thrown in a loop like Nana’s readers will be. I loved that the relationship with Zia has changed many things including her feelings about working with the Knights team. Not only she has to deal with Theo but her sister as well cutting the cord with her. All in all Nana Malone just brought this sequel to a great start and ended beautifully. This is one series though brings the others in her previous Royal family series almost like a circle of life coming together in every way. Loved it.
“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.”
What a conclusion!! What was there not to love about this one??? Absolutely nothing. Nana Malone did a spectacular job bringing this Duet to a conclusion. I literally had no idea how this one would be solved and the usual suspects weren’t really the usual suspects in this one. Wow!! Yes, the answer to this mystery or shall we say mysteries, will knock your socks off. What a reveal it was. This book was filled with the perfect about mystery, intrigue, suspense and love story to keep you on the edge of you seat until the end, and even the ending still left you sitting on the edge of your seat. I cannot state enough how much I love Team Winston Isles. Each book gets better and better. I love reconnecting with all of the characters that I fell in love with from the beginning. I cannot wait for the next book in this series. Bravo, Nana Malone!! Bravo on yet another well crafted story.
Gotta say, this is probably in my top 3 fav duets of this series!
I simply loved Theo. Seemed organic and real.
I ended up loving Derrick too!!!
And Zia + Theo is magic!
I love the set up for the future of the series!
Great read! Highly recommend!
The billionaire’s secret is an amazing read, you won’t be able to put the book down. Zia and Theo’s conclusion is filled with suspense, romance, and a few twists. I really enjoyed reading their story and can’t wait to see what happens next with the Royals.
I voluntarily leave an honest review of this Advanced Readers Copy.
The Billionaire’s Secret is book two in a duet and picks up where Bodyguard to the Billionaire ended. It should not be read as a standalone.
Let me just say that this book really packed a punch! I thought I maybe knew where things were headed plot wise . . . and, I can happily say, I couldn’t have been more wrong!
Book One ended with the revelation that Derrick and Theo were doubles to Team Winston Isles. There is so much more to this secret that it was heartbreaking and shocking and I absolutely loved watching it play out as team Winston Isles worked to figure out just what was going on and who was behind the attempts on Derrick and Theo’s lives. Zia and Theo also continue to be hot and heavy, although there are some definite trust issues to work through and Derrick adds a whole new dynamic that I loved.
The plot was suspenseful and entertaining. I love that Nana Malone forces me to pay attention and be truly engaged in order to keep up with the twisted path of intrigue that happens in this book. It’s absolutely brilliant! 5 stars!
The Billionaire’s Secret is the conclusion on Zia and Theo’s story. It picks up right where book 1 left off and jumps right into action. The interplay between Derrick and Theo is very enjoyable and you find yourself rooting for Derrick by the end. Theo and Zia do this dance around each other but eventually realize they belong together. The first reveal I guessed while reading..however the second reveal on who was behind everything was very unexpected but really added to the story. I love that we get to see all the beloved characters from the Winston Isles books. I cannot wait to keep reading!
