Big Ben (London Lords Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Nana Malone (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 1,595 ratings

I was on the edge of my seat the whole time reading Big Ben! Suspense, thrills, and romance...this book has it all!" -- New York Times Bestselling Author, Susan Stoker

It began with a stolen almost-kiss.

And ended in revenge.

She was never supposed to cross my path.

She was never supposed to know about the oaths I swore or the secrets I keep.

But like a thief in the night, she took my heart and ran... even if she wasn't mine to possess.

As a member of the billionaire Elite, I live by simple tenets. A gentleman above all. Loyalty is everything.. Secrets whispered are never revealed. 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.

Unless she asks nicely.

My name is Ben Covington, and I know my sins.

"Intrigue, pulse-pounding adventure, and smoking-hot romance -- the perfect trifecta!" -- ★★★★★USA Today bestselling author Meli Raine

"Power, wealth, and sizzling heat collide in this delicious story of secrets and revenge. Ben is your new swaggering book boyfriend, and Olivia is the take-no-crap heroine we need this year, and trust me when I say their chemistry will melt your e-reader! Five secret society stars!" -- ★★★★★ USA Today Bestselling Author, Sierra Simone

'This was an intense thrill ride!! Olivia and Ben don't exactly start off on the right foot but once they connect it a slow burn that sets the sheets on fire. The chemistry between the two main characters was just off the charts!! I'll be waiting desperately for the next book." ★★★★★Erin, Goodreads

"I was so excited about Big Ben and I was not disappointed! Ben and Olivia's story was amazing! I need more right now! After reading so many Nana Malone stories I know that the first book will end on a cliff-hanger, and I know it's always worth the wait - but I still wasn't expecting it! I NEED MORE RIGHT NOW! Five Stars!" ★★★★★Messy Bun Book Blog

★★★★★ Chris, Goodreads

"I loved this book! The suspense and intrigue hooked me right in. The secrecy and the ruthlessness. The thrill of it all. I liked how Olivia and Ben developed their relationship slowly and how open they were with each other. I dare say they brought out all the hidden gems of one another. I cannot wait to see what happens next for the these two. The suspense is killing me!" ★★★★★ Vera, Goodreads

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Wall Street Journal & USA Today Bestselling author, Nana Malone writes Sexy Feel-Good Romance and loves all things romance and adventure.

That love started with a tattered romantic suspense she "borrowed" from her cousin. It was a sultry summer afternoon in Ghana, and Nana was a precocious thirteen. She's been in love with kick butt heroines ever since. With her overactive imagination, and channeling her inner Buffy, it was only a matter a time before she started creating her own characters.

Five freaking flaming stars!
Nana Malone has created a world I am a little bit afraid of but characters I'd love to live with. Ben and Olivia are smoking hot and create an epic explosion of fun, feistiness, and passion. The would melt the paint off the walls with all the sexual tension! Their friends are true friends. No synopsis because I'd give things away. I will say I love all the things and 80% of the people. (Because there are those you will not like at all!) The story is fun and engaging. The settings are wonderful and you can just see how they go, especially the Paris trip. There are happy funny moments, sad heartache moments, and some "I really want to strangle that person" moments. Then there is the ending. Hold your breath!! I loved it all.

    Right now, I’m pissed at Nana Malone. She hooked me with her promo for Big Ben and I bought the book. I figured I could afford $2.99. By the beginning of Chapter 24, I’d about decided I wouldn’t finish the book or the series. I enjoyed the dance between Ben and Olivia but I could leave their story unfinished. I had no extra income to be buying $4.99 books. That determined, I went back and finished Big Ben. Darn it if she didn’t scoop all the bread crumbs she’d been dropping into a pile I fell right into. Darn it if she didn’t sink fat hooks into my love of storIes and haul me right in. I had to check out the rest of the series on Amazon. I had to read the blurb for the next book. I had to start reading the sample. I didn’t even finish it before I had to purchase the book. Darn you Nana for writing such a good story with such compelling characters. I’ll have to figure out what I can cut from my budget so I can read the rest of the series.

    Equal parts James Bond vibes, secret societies, and workplace romance. This book was so much freaking fun! I knew I was going to love this book beacuse on page two it made me cackle. Not laugh. Cackle. Maybe it's just my immature humor but c'mon..."Statue Dick"!
    I listened to the audiobook which I highly recommend because the narrators did such a fantastic job. Do you love men with accents? Then yeah this audiobook is for you.
    Ben is part of a secret society called the Elite, but years ago something bad happened. One of his best friends Toby was killed by his fellow brothers inside the Elite. So Ben and a group of his closest friends are out to find the truth and seek revenge for Toby. Along the way, he meets Olivia. He has to leave a USB drive full of information in Olivia's purse at a party, but after the coast is clear he comes back and is willing to use all of his charms to get it back from her. But Olivia is on to him and will not release it back to him that easily. What follows is a cat and mouse game. They form a good friendship and workplace relationship, but they can only ignore their attraction to one another for so long...
    All the while enemies are waiting and watching them both in the shadows.
    Nana's writing will hook you, make you crave more, and also bring a blush upon those cheeks. I'm so glad that the third and final book is coming out soon because I'm gonna need to binge books two and three soon. The ending of Big Ben? I'm scared.
    So does Big Ben live up to his name? Read for yourself and find out ;)

    I have read Bridge and Emma's story before I read this Ben and Olivia's story. Olivia aka Livy, Ashong is the daughter of a Ghanaian diplomat. Her father was British and died when she was little. Her and her mother traveled everywhere. Her mother settled in the UK and so Olivia ended up her at the Uni and her best friend Telly was here too. I know that Ben is part of the London Lords because I read Bridge and Emma's story. Ben went to Eton with Drew, Bridge and East. This is the story of how Ben and Olivia meet and form a relationship and all the excitement that comes with the story 📖📚👍🏾. Get this story it's a good read.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    The upside is the writing is smooth and easy to read. The hero is great and the basic story is promising. The downside is it was REALLY slow moving for me. I was so bored I almost quit multiple times. I think it would have been more engaging if I had known exactly why Ben and his friends were working so hard to bring the enemy down. This nebulous something is the entire focus of the book, yet all we have to go on is an extremely vague mention concerning the death of their friend. Without any understanding behind it, however, it was just.... *yawn*.

    And, to top it off, the very second it got interesting, it ended. Yep, SUPER big full-stop (worse than a cliffhanger) ending. Readers beware, you will be required to read the next book before you understand one single thing. Maybe not even then, as there is a third book in this series.

    Holy cliffhanger Batman!!

    The story moves smoothly and in a realistic fashion. I really liked Ben and Livy, but the side characters were so so. I felt a little lost where the side characters were concerned, like I should already know them. Maybe they are part of another of the author’s series’. This did not, however, take away from the story. I liked the whole “secret society” aspect of the story, but, we didn’t get too much of that here, I’m guessing we’ll see more in the series as a whole. There is little drama here as both the H and h are adults and speak their minds! (Can we get more of that?!?)

    I will definitely be continuing this series, but it had to be added to my tbr list as I didn’t see audiobooks available for parts 2 and 3.

    I thoroughly enjoyed Big Ben even with the cliffhanger! Very well done! What's to like? I'm so glad you asked.
    MCs- Ben and Livy - strong, independent, multi-layered characters, they become friends with instant chemistry but try very hard to be respectful of an existing relationship (though underserved), witty dialogue, and a great build-up to a beautiful love story
    Plot - the mysterious Elite, the unsolved murder of a dear friend
    Secondary characters - Ben's crew/the London Lords, Livy's friend Tell, the boyfriend - he's cringeworthy but good character development

    Anywho - I'm off to read the next book in the series. Oh and I actually read this and listened. Couldn't put it down! Thanks Ms. Malone!

    A wonderful book that I've truly enjoyed from beginning to end. I have loved that it's set in England, reading all that English slang has really taken me into the story. The hero starts off as a guy with a purpose who doesn't care for anyone else other than his best friends. The heroine lives a settled life that she believes she is happy with. Then they meet and sparks fly between them. This novel has action, sexual tension, unforgettable characters and a plot that enthralls the reader. I couldn't put it down and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this saga.

    Loved the beginning of this book it really gets you hooked from the start, I couldn’t put it down. Love that it’s a secret society set in London.

    So much chemistry between Livy and Ben. Loved Ben, he’s smart, funny, caring and oozes sex appeal. He’s a perfect book boyfriend!

    Loads happens in this book and we’re left with lots of questions, especially with that ending! But can’t say too much without giving it away. Can’t wait for the next book.
