I
was a rogue. A rebel. I didn't believe the rules applied to me, or rather, I
was tired of playing by them.
Big Ben, book one in the See No Evil series
by USA Today bestseller Nana Malone, is LIVE!
It began with betrayal.
And ended in murder.
She was never supposed to
cross my path.
She was never supposed to
know about the currency of secrets or the oaths of blood.
But like a thief in the
night, she stole my soul even if she wasn’t mine to possess.
As a member of the Elite, I
live by simple tenets. A gentleman above all. Private matters stay private.
Secrets whispered are never revealed. Enemies and friends are of the same coin.
And power is king.
My so called brothers killed
my friend. I intend to make them pay.
And before it’s over, I’ll bend all the rules of morality, decency and
legality. I will borrow and steal to set the scales right. But
begging--begging, you can forget about.
My name is Ben Covington and
I know my sins.

REVIEW:
The first book had me turning the pages to see how it would end. Ben and Livy are both opinionated, stong-willed individuals and when she turns the tables on him, he is stunned. He slipped something into her purse when he was about to get caught, and now she is involved with something that could become very dangerous. He is drawn to her and wants her to be his, but he has secrets. I wish as the reader I knew some of them at this point, but that is what makes me anxiously await the next book.
Livy got on my nerves at times. At one point she supposedly had anxiety, but at another pivital point, it was like she never had social anxiety before. I did like how she stood up to Ben and didn't let him get away with anything, but then her boyfriend was so obviously a jerk and she let him treat her like crap.
Both Ben and Livy bring out the best in the other and I can't wait to see what happens in the next book. I don't want to give anything away, but I need to know who/what is behind the end of this book and how will Ben be able to help . I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.
Excerpt:
“You think this is my fault.”
“I’m just saying.”
“You’re the one who needs to be
careful. You’re small and delicate, and you traipse around jumping into messes
like you can’t get hurt. When someone tries to mug you, you try to fight back.”
“I just couldn’t let it happen
again. Besides, they wanted to take me somewhere, and even I know that’s not a
good idea.”
“At least you know that much.”
She jabbed me in the chest, her
finger leaving an invisible, searing burn on my skin. And I wanted more.
“You need to be more careful.”
“Careful, Mr. Covington, someone
might accuse you of caring.”
I squared my shoulders. “Hardly.” My
gaze fell on her lips, and my gut tightened. No. Stop looking at her mouth.
Olivia swallowed hard. “I am… uh…”
The spark of lightning between us danced. I could physically feel the tension in the room. I needed
to get changed. I needed her to get out for me to do that. But goddamn, her
hands were on me as she patted me dry. “Look, it’s fine. I’m just going to help
you, and then we’ll get back to our day, okay? God, I’m such an idiot. I was really
trying to help.”
She continued to pat me with the
towel as she spoke rapidly, hardly taking a breath. Each press of her palm was
stoking the flame, playing with fire. “Um, Livy?”
She kept on talking though. About
how I needed to be more careful. That I should have better situational
awareness. Have a clue as to what was happening around me.
All the while, she had zero idea
what was going on in my head. The war I was having with myself about touching
her, about what was appropriate. All the blood rushed south, and I clenched my
teeth, trying to fight against my growing erection. She chose that moment to
glance down.
Fucking brilliant.
Her voice went throaty when she
mumbled, “Um, I think you’re mostly dry. You can handle this yourself. I’m
going to go.”
I cleared my throat in a desperate
attempt to regain control. “You probably should.”
But she didn’t move, just stared at
me with those wide dark eyes. Daring me.
“Olivia?” It sounded like a plea.
Her wide dark gaze met mine. “Yeah?”
“I’m
going to kiss you now.”

meantime Nana works out her drama, passion, and sass with fictional characters
every bit as sassy and kick butt as she thinks she is.
