Wow another action packed read! Theo and Zia are a bada$$ couple! Soooo much happens in this book, I don’t even know where to start with this review. I can’t give away any secrets, but it’s a much read forsure
Ok, so this is the part 2 to Zia and Theo’s story and it was full of surprises. If you haven’t read part 1 of this duet i suggest you read that first. This book was good and enlightening as well as entertaining. I couldn’t wait to see what happens with Zia, Theo, Derrick and the trouble the found themselves into in part 1. So many secrets were revealed, I felt like I couldn’t turn the page fast enough. ” The Billionaire Secret” contained the perfect ending for all characters involved. I was kinda shocked the way that everything unfolded but by the end I was in full agreement that the ending was perfect. Loved it and recommend this one as well as the others.
The Billionaire’s Secret by Nana Malone is the second book in The Billionaire Duet. This story of a cousin to King sebastian and a Royal Knight is a small step away from the palace and into the penthouse of Billionaire Derrick Arlington.
Zia comes face to face with the truth in this concluding story revolving around Zia, Theo and Derrick. A truth she never expected and isn’t sure she can overcome. But now that the cat is literally out of the bag the security needs for Theo and Derrick change, the danger grows, and the questions multiply. Still having no clue who kidnapped Derrick, what is going on with the Inline merger and how anyone knows Theo is Theo and not Derrick, the Royal Elite, the King and everyone in the Winston Isles group is on-board with getting the answers they need.
Nana Malone is a must-read author for me. Her royal duets are addictive and intoxicating. I literally cannot get enough of the Winston Isles and the royal family, Royal Elite and friends. Loved this. Ends on with a happily ever after BUT leaves the door open for more to come. Told in dual POV. Enjoy!
I gave this book five stars because it was amazing. Theo and Zia were perfect together. I loved everything about the book. Great job as always Nana! Keep up the good work.
Having read book one Bodyguard to the Billionaire, I was eagerly anticipating the conclusion. Definitely worth the wait. Nana Malone skillfully weaves a story enriched with intrigue, action, intensity and fantastic characters. Theo and Zia together are all kinds of angst filled magic. Their love for one another is undeniable, never mind their incendiary chemistry. Along for the ride are all the other engaging characters that comprise Team Winston Isles and the King’s Knights. Twists and turns abound in the story, and the villainy just doesn’t seem to end. Can’t wait to read what happens next for the intrepid group of friends.
This is the surprising conclusion to the Billionaire’s Duet! Read book one, Bodyguard to the Billionaire first. Full of intricate details, but also love-and not just romantic love, but things that keep your faith in humanity. Family, friends, and crazy antics of a royal family and their bodyguards!
The secret is out! When we left book one, a big discovery had been made that was going to change a lot of things for our main characters. And while the “big” secret is out, there are still so many secrets being kept that keep the plot moving and our characters in and out of trouble.
Zia has a problem…there are two of them! Theo and Derrick, look alikes. Who is she supposed to protect? And who did she fall in love with? When the truth eventually comes out, she has to deal with some crazy fall out. She was strong in the face of all of the absolute crazy situations she was placed in. And Theo and Derrick make some big discoveries and changes. Each unique and likeable as individuals. As the story progresses, their relationship is made stronger through some amazing situations.
Zia and Theo have the same continued chemistry from book one. But it’s made stronger and more real through the tragedies and situations they face, and their reactions to them. Their chemistry grows stronger as their love grows. I think most of my favorite moments in this book come from things Theo says as he finds his way to loving his Zia in all her bodyguarding strengths and heroics.
The convoluted and twisted crazy plot twists this book held kept me pretty captivated. The whole stand in for someone who is your body double left me with so many questions from book one. And I love Arial’s amazing Elite Royal agency; her employees are all the best combination of strong and loyal and human and flawed. And through it all we get to see past character’s and the family they make.
Now I need to know Derrick’s story, and Tasmin’s, and follow this plot twist in the last chapter! If you’ve been sucked in by the previous duets, this one will not disappoint. My biggest complaint is having to wait for the second book-I’d prefer one big book to wrap it all up at once!

I loved the characters Zia and Theo. I could feel their emotions coming off the pages. This was a page turner I didn’t want to put down.
Zia was falling in love with Theo. Even though she was furious that he had lied to her. Zia was not even sure who Theo really was. Then Theo learns he has a twin brother who ends up missing. Not good when someone is out to kill them. Then the worst happens. Theo’s mom and Zia’s sister come up missing. Just when things go from bad to worse, they finally find out who is out to get them. They never expected it to be that person. Can Theo and Derrick become the family they never had?
Nana Malone has done it again. The emotions so real I could feel it. I was hooked from page one til the end. A real page turner. I highly recommend this book. I can’t wait for the next one
Nana has fast become a one click author for me. This sequel has left me squealing with delight and needing a manicure after i have bitten off all my nails from anxiety.
No this is not a bad thing , especially when books transport you into their world and leave you feeling satisfied as all your questions are answered.
Theo and Zia’s story pick ups where book one left off and you are automatically thrown into the web of angst and mystery needing to know who is after Theo and Derrick. You must read book 1 to understand this story and i highly recommend this story.
Theo and Zia’s chemistry is so hot, your clothing will need to be changed several times. TMI!!! I don’t think so because these two love-bugs don’t know what is going to hit them when they are thrown into more lies and deceit. Will they try and salvage the damage already done or will they run away from each other. I guess you need to read this thrilling story to find out.
I read this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
This is the ending of the series Billionaire Duet. The story was well written, full of drama, danger, intrigue, twist, and mystery. Characters from previous books make an appearance in this story. Theo and Zia’s story was everything I enjoy in a story. I thoroughly enjoyed these character and the journey this book took me through.
Wow! Just wow! I love the royal family of the Winston Isle’s and this being the twelfth book in the series you would think it would lose some momentum and be redundant. However, Malone continues to write phenomenally intriguing work. I have to admit that the conclusion of this book had me blown away: Jaw-dropping, blink eyes slowly kind of shock. Each new book in this series becomes my favorite. I love this even more than Ariel! Shocker, I know! Besides the twists and turns in this story, the humor relief through Derrick had me in stitches. I love that guy! I pray he gets his own book. I don’t want to give away any of the spoilers in this book, but it’s an easy 10 stars! A must-read, one-click necessity, buy now, change your life, make your week kind of book! Quit sitting there and go get it!
I was given a free ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Brilliant conclusion to the duet! I almost gave away the whole plot with my thoughts so I’m rewriting them to tell you to simply get the book! This author never fails to produce an entertaining and sexy story about all the people connected to the Winston Isles. Most of us will never be royal or understand their lives, but the author has an uncanny ability to make the stories real and interesting. Keep them coming!
I received an ARC from the author for an honest and unbiased review. No compensation was promised or received for this review.
I felt that this was a wonderful conclusion to Theo and Zia’s story. This is book two of a duet, so you must read book one, Bodyguard To The Billionaire first to get the complete story. I found this book to be engaging, suspenseful, fun and sometimes very moving. This well written read has no problems at all in grabbing and holding your attention. The storyline is filled with lots of twists, drama, emotional turmoil, steam, humor, action and excitement. I thoroughly enjoyed this book (and this duet).
I know I have said it before. I hate cliffhangers. Try to avoid them at all costs. With this series and this duet, once again, Nana Malone has me HOOKED!
This is NOT a standalone. At minimum, you have to read book one, “Bodyguard to the Billionaire”. This writer brings in a number of characters from previous books, which is great because you get to revisit the couples. After reading this duet, I think you may want to next read Sebastian and Penny’s story, “Cheeky Royal”.
I didn’t think it was possible to like Derrick based on book 1, but I was so wrong. Theo and Zia were a good couple. They were an easy pair to like. Theo had many redeeming qualities while Derrick had none. Until this book.
I felt badly for Derrick and wanted him to find his “Zia”. He had a bit of suffering to do first. Then I was hit with a new cliffhanger. No worries. Theo and Zia get their HEA. Some mysteries are resolved. New mysteries are created.
The fun thing about these books is when I think I know what is going to happen next and I am hit with a surprise from completely out of left field. This writer keeps me on my toes.
This book was funny, the dialogue was sarcastic and witty. It has that strong feeling of family, love, and loyalty. there is betrayal, some action, and danger. It is also steamy. I would definitely recommend this fast paced read. Looking forward to what happens next, and wondering who gets to be part of the next couple.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this.
This is the second book about Theo & Zia. There is another character this book is about, which is Derrick, with other side characters included in Nana Malone’s Royal books. This is a great entertaining story with wonderful characters. A good deal happens to them within this book. The author portrays the storyline very well. There is action, suspense, revenge, steamy scenes and love and hate. There are also witty scenes. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was extremely well written. I cannot wait for the next Royal book from Nana Malone. I love her writing.
I received a new Advanced Reader Copy of this book and am voluntarily reviewing it. This book wraps up Theo and Zia’s story beautifully. That’s what I love about this author. She knows how to tell a story. As you know, this is the second book in this series. The first book ended with us finally meeting Derrick. Thankfully, this book gives readers several points of view which made for a very well-rounded story. There is some serious hotness as sparks continue to fly between Zia and Theo but with Derrick in the mix, things get difficult fast.
This book also gives you small updates on the rest of the Winston Isles team, particularly, King Sebastian and a very pregnant Queen Penny. Please remember that nothing can keep the badass women of Team Winston Isles down, not even pregnancy. I love how badass the women are in all of Nana’s books and this one is no exception.
The plot twists will leave you hanging on the edge and reading when you should be doing something else. A great author has done it again. I hope to read more about the Winston Isles crew particularly Tamsin and Trace, hint hint.
What a great finish to this duet! I absolutely loved the plot twists of this one. Never a dull moment in the Winston Isles.
All is revealed. Or is it? Derrick conned his way into my heart in Bodyguard to the Billionaire, Billionaire’s Secret picks up right where book 1 left off. Zia finds double trouble when she comes face to face with a shocking truth. How can she trust her head when it continues to be overshadowed by her heart? Seems tall, dark and tempting has more than a bit of explaining to do. For me, the beauty of The Billionaire Duet is figuring out where the truth lies and the lies begin. Malone proves that a slight of hand can make for compelling storytelling. Deception proves to be a sucker punch to the heart.
Fantastic!!! Another awesome duet from Nana with all her twists and turns. If you thought the first book in this duet was a shocker at the end, the suspense and intrigue continues here in The Billionaire’s Secret. As usual Nana delivers another awesome read with her signature writing. Absolutely loved this duet.
I’ll never turn down a trip to the Winston Isles!
This is the second half of the duet featuring Zia and Theo. Secret twin drama, a surprise villain, family (plus royalty) politics and all the fun and excitement all the rest of the WI crew brings. There’s nothing not to love about these books!
If you thought the first book had plenty of twists and secrets then hold on to your seats in Book 2 of the duet. I won’t reveal any major spoilers. I definitely had my list of suspects, but I was still was surprised. Derrick was quite the handful, but I feel like we got to more about him in this book. Also, I love the growth in Theo and Zia’s relationship as well. Of course, what’s a Nana Malone book without the signature wittiness and humor. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The ending definitely had me counting down the days to the next book.
