Halfway around the world wasn’t far enough away to keep my best mate’s sister safe from our enemies... or my touch. I will have her. Even though she’s the beauty and I’m the beast.

"I just prayed to all the Gods in heaven that I would be able to keep her safe, because Emma Varma was everything to me."
If you want brother bestfriend, fake marriage, 'touch her and I'll k*ll you' this book is perfect for you.
London Bridge follows Emma and Bridge who have been fighting their feelings for each other since they were young. Emma's brother Toby was murdered and her along with Bridge and the London Lords have been trying to seek revenge. Events lead Bridge and Emma having a fake relationship, will they finally give into their feelings and the tension between them? Will they finally get retribution for the death of Toby?
Wow this book had everything. I loved Emma and Bridge and their relationship. I loved the relationship between the London Lords too! The book does end on a cliffhanger and I am so excited for the next book!

Bridge and Emma just blew my mind away. London Bridge by Nana Malone is an exciting mix of action, steam and emotions and I just cannot get enough of this enemies to lovers romantic suspense. Bridge and Emma are on an epic journey and I want to be there with them at every step.
Emma Varma no longer wants to sit at the sideline while the London Lords plan to take down the last person responsible for her brother and their best friend Toby's death. It's a dangerous game. Bridge Edgerton has promised his best friend to protect Emma at any cost. But Emma won't let it go. And now they have to get fake married for their mission. But the problem is their years long suppressed emotions and chemistry are far from fake.
I always admire Nana Malone's female leads and Emma Varma is no exception. And she is extra special as she is part Indian! This exceptional woman has been through a lot of emotional pain and struggles but you won't know it looking at her sassy and devil-may-care attitude. She is stubborn and fierce and she doesn't think twice before running into danger first. And Bridge is going crazy for her. Like he wants to protect her and control her recklessness and be his usual ridiculously bossy self. And it backfires all the time. Now they have been dancing around each other for years and the slow burn is turning into a raging inferno as they are forced to act as a couple. Oh my goodness the chemistry is just brilliant. Bridge is the broodiest and most ragged in the group and he has his own darkness but Emma will break all his boundaries. It was a blast to meet all the London lords and their ladies and I just love this whole crew so much.
Nana Malone brought out big guns in London Bridge and I am so excited to see what happens next.

Thank you Valentine’s PR for this ARC!!
“God, I’ve been wanting you for my whole goddamn life”
I’ve always loved the enemies to lovers trope, and when it’s paired up with brother’s best friend? and fake marriage ? sign me up!
I loved the plot of this book. Emma’s brother has been murdered and she’s back, trying to avenge his death. She teams up with her brother’s best friends to bring him down. The writing was fast paced and it was nearly impossible for me to put the book down!
Emma’s character was amazing. I loved her. She was sarcastic, funny, relatable & overalls a great character! Bridge’s character was the epitome of brooding billionaire, with a soft spot only for you <3
The only thing I wished I had done was read the other interconnecting series first, so I could’ve understood the back stories & other relationships!
But overall this was great, and that ending made my jaw drop!

Nana Malone has done it. I have Ben's books on my Kindle and haven't read them yet, but had I done my due diligence I would have been completely prepared for this book. I thought I was really doing something by reading the novella, A Bridge of Love before I read my advance copy of the book, well slap my face and call me silly! After all of that, HOLY FREAKING COW! Bridge and Emma are something else. Bridge is all "grrr" and Emma is all, "your are not going to tell me what to do!" Then there's the whole I hate you, but I secretly want to be wrapped up with you forever. These two have loved each other since they were children and just about everyone around has noticed or caught a glimpse of that attraction between them. Circumstances put them in a situation that neither of them foresaw or expected to ever be in, but they have to roll with it in order to make a wrong right. This book is filled with revenge, revelations, suspense, intrigue, L-O-V-E! Then there is the age old nasty action word BETRAYAL, but by whom? There are many moving parts and the book is deliciously good, but if you know Nana be prepared and guard your heart. This sister here was reading and in a state of "Ahh hell no," but I absolutely loved it and will be waiting for the next book, and finally starting where I should have started to begin with! Kudos to the supporting cast of the book as well. I can't wait to go back and see where they all started.

I don't know where I was watching, but I found out that the book is part of a trilogy when I started reading the actual book 😂.
I really liked the story. Of course I have read the prequel before that and I was dying to know how Emma and Bridge story will happen. For a first book of the "Speak no evil" trilogy the pacing was really good. I loved the steamy scenes between them and after the tug and pull from Bridge's side I can definately say that he is an alpha man. A gorgeous alpha man 😍.
The story is literally pulling you in and I couldn't leave the book even for a minute. To be honest I don't like cliffhangers, but this one was soo good. The story stops suddenly and after that you are wondering - " What the f*ck just happened". Thank heaven that the 2nd book from the series comes out in the beginning of March. I don't know how I am going to wait till then 🤣.
Considering this, the book is the first that I have read from Nana Malone and now I love the way that she is writing 😍.
I have not read the other books for the London Lords, but when I have time I will definately read Ben and East stories.

Emma's had enough of her brother's friends keeping her at bay. She wants answers and she wants revenge. So now she's heading to London to get both. If Bridge and co. don't like it, then they'll just have to deal because she's no longer a little girl. No, now she's an adult fully capable of figuring out how to take down the man responsible for her brother's death. She'll just have to make sure those annoying feelings she's long held for Bridge don't get in the way of her quest...
Bridge takes one look at Emma having lunch with the man who's responsible for her brother's death, and blurts out the first thing he can think of - to thank the man for keeping his woman company. Yep. Now they're in his brothers' offices and he knows she will let him have it because this new adult version of his best mate's sister isn't a little girl any longer. No, she's a seductive beauty he just knows will be the one to bring him to his knees and enjoy every second of it. He'll just have to make sure she doesn't steal his heart along the way.
Damn but Bridge and Emma are fire! She spits sass and he loves it. She toys with him and he revels in it. He tries to boss her around and make decisions for her without talking to her, though? Nope. Absolutely not. And that's where the two of them run into trouble and bring things to a head. The cliffhanger about killed me and now I'm very impatiently waiting to find out how Emma is going to get herself out of the nasty little predicament her tstl moment got her into. It was the only time I wanted to smack her but the rest of the time, I absolutely loved how funny, feisty and smart she was. I loved the tension between her and Bridge. And I love how obvious it was that they were in love even before they said it to each other. Part 2 cannot come soon enough for me!

I live for Bridge and Emma, I live for all of their hot and cold, frost and heat, their inability to communicate and also when they do (with their bodies).
This has been the story that I was waiting for, Nana delivered a pretty intense duo, who started off in the beginning tepid and ended up burning up the pages.
Nana never disappoints by giving us leading ladies of all backgrounds and cultures, also making sure that they are strong and can hold their own around the London Lords.
I love that we also read more about Bridge's upbringing and we meet some of his family members, FYI you are going to love his mom!!
London Bridge leaves you wanting more, I am concern because I see no reference to when to expect more Emma and Bridge, because OMG I need to know what will happen between these two firecrackers!

I was waiting for Emma and Bridge’s story and I completely loved it!! We read about them in the previous books and I was really captivated by them so I was dying to read their story. Emma and Bridge were the best, I loved their banter and how they tried to deny their feelings and all the chemistry they had.
Emma was wonderful, I loved how she always stood up for herself and how she fought Bridge in every way. She had an amazing relationship with the London Lords and as always I loved reading how everyone had each other’s backs.
Bridge was amazing too, he seemed grumpy sometimes but he was only trying to protect Emma, and despite trying to deny it, he was pretty obvious when it came to anything related to her. He fought hard to carry out his promise to Toby but it was a matter of time before he and Emma collided, and I loved it when they did. I loved their steamy scenes and how they couldn’t keep their hands off each other.
It was everything I hoped for and I can’t want to read more of them, especially after that cliffhanger.

OMG!! I FREAKING LOVED THIS BOOK!!! Wow!! Just Wow!! The wait for Bridge's story was so worth the wait...even though I still have to wait for the complete conclusion to his story, but I will take it, because, boy, oh boy, does his story start off with a big bang!! Now that ending has me hanging by a string waiting for the next book in this series. OMG!!
London Bridge is Bridge Edgerton and Emma Varma's story. Emma is the younger sister of Toby, Bridge and the other London Lords' best friend, who mysteriously died during the night of their initiation into The Elite, and for whose death the guys have vowed revenge against The Elite. Despite Bridge and the other guys trying to keep Emma away from the danger of them seeking revenge against The Elite, Emma has had enough of being pushed to the backburner and has decided to take matters into her own hands. While Emma is doing all of this, Bridge has found his newly cemented single life has thrown a wrench into the guys' plan against The Elite, and now he needs to find a fiancée, and quick, to save it all. The only catch is the fiancée needs to be someone who has known him for a long time and only one person fits that bill...Emma!! However, the only problem is that Bridge and Emma have both been hiding their feelings for each other since they were kids, and now they have been thrown into this fake marriage. And let me tell you all this is where the story truly takes off. These two are combustible together! Their sexual chemistry jumps off the pages at you. Simply put, they are perfect for each other, but both are stubborn and have been seriously hurt in the past, so the walls they have build up for protection are extremely high!
London Bridge is an absolutely fun, fast paced, intriguing, and exciting read. The banter between Bridge and Emma is some of the best I have read. Will you want to shake each of them at various points? Absolutely, but that just makes London Bridge an even more interesting read, because you will want to find out how these two figure things out. And yes, your favorites from the other books about the London Lords are very present in this book as well. As stated before, I seriously need Bridge of Lies ASAP!!! Bravo, Nana Malone on London Bridge! Bravo!!

London Bridge, book one in the Speak No Evil trilogy, is just as captivating as the previous interconnected See No Evil and Hear No Evil trilogies! For those who are familiar with the earlier books, you know that Bridge’s story was going to be a doozy and let me say that it is definitely off to a riveting start!
I love Bridge and Emma and how they both challenged and balanced each other out. Bridge is broody, strong and protective and Emma is strong, determined and gives him a run for his money. They have remarkable chemistry and a common goal and both these factors keep them moving forward together with a few ups and downs to keep it interesting.
Bridge and Emma have known each other almost all their lives since she is Bridges’s best friend, Toby’s younger sister. He promised Toby he would look out and protect her, but he kept close the fact that he also loved her and has for many years. He didn’t realize that Emma felt the same about him. Now, a fake marriage to save a business deal that will ultimately get the revenge that everyone wants for Toby’s death leads Bridge and Emma to open up their hearts to the feelings they both have denied for years. Danger, however, is around the corner because Bridge, East, Ben, Drew and Emma are all out to avenge the third person responsible for Toby’s death and he definitely doesn’t want his secrets uncovered.
This ends in a cliffhanger so get ready for the next book in the trilogy because you are definitely going to want to see how this all plays out! I know I can’t wait!

London Bridge (Speak No Evil Trilogy Book 1) The chemistry between Bridge and Emma has been building for years. Bridge of Love: A Speak No Evil Prequel Novella gives you a hint of that chemistry, but in London bridge it is explosive. “Wanting you was like trying to catch a firefly. Ethereal and impossible to pin down. And every time I thought you were in my grasp,you weren’t. But then I learned that you don’t capture something so beautiful.”
Bridge and Emma’s story takes you on a roller coaster ride. It grips you so that you don’t want to stop reading and then it happens.Ms Malone leaves you suspended in the air holding your breath. I am holding my breath for Bridge of Lies March 1.
About the book:
Halfway around the world wasn’t far enough away to keep my best mate’s sister safe from our enemies... or my touch. I will have her. Even though she’s the beauty and I’m the beast.
Emma Varma remembers me as the black hearted prince of Eton prep... but the hardened man I’ve become won’t be so easily burned.
Her return to London has nothing to do with me and everything to do with retribution.
Gone is the wild child I remember and in her place a striking beauty, tempting me with a second chance to break all the rules that I missed the first time... before I was man enough to make her mine.

Are you kidding me?!!!
The London Lords are back!!! Bridge and Emma are finally telling their story. I encourage you to read the previous trilogy’s, See No Evil and Hear No Evil. They are not necessary, but I highly recommend it.
Bridge and Emma have history. Obviously connected through her big brother, Toby, since he was Bridge’s best friend. Bridge promised to always protect Emma even if it includes staying away from her. After Toby died, he has held on to that promise. That is until Emma came back to London to finish what they started, finding justice for the last of Toby’s killers. Emma is too tempting to have her this close to him. She is too stubborn for her own good and she will stop at nothing to get the last man responsible for her brother’s death. When she takes a job with said man, she does not realize how “in over her head” she is until it is too late.
The mystery, suspense and thill are back in full force with this first installment. The chemistry and out of control lust between our two main characters is just as thrilling and dangerous. Of course, the ending had me falling off my chair because I needed more pages!!! Ms. Malone, you are too cruel, but I love it!

OMG! I loved this one! I've been waiting for Bridge and Emma's story, the characters having been introduced in previous books (totally fine to start here! This story is a stand alone just WAY better together with the other London Lords).
Emma! Oh I've loved her from the start! Sassy little thing, bound and determined to get her vengeance, with or without the London Lords. She's spunky! I just dig her whole vibe, stubborn as can be, but in all the best ways. She's been in love with her brother's friend for as long as she can remember.
Bridge! He matches Emma's stubbornness, and you can really feel the hurt in his heart from all the betrayal and lies in his life. This author makes you feel it so deeply you can easily imagine how Emma would want to be the woman to change his opinion about love.
These two are just one big explosion from the get go! So much fire and heat! It's a wonder my Kindle didn't combust! Super excited for the next one!

Emma has been attracted to her brother’s best friend Bridge since they were teenagers however she treated him with disdain rather than acknowledging it. Years after the death of her brother she is determined that those who were responsible are held accountable even if it means working with Bridge.
Bridge has always tried to honor his best friend by avenging his death and protecting Emma even if it is from himself. Entering into a pretend marriage will allow both he and Emma to reach their goals but their biggest challenge may be their feelings for each other.
The interactions between Emma and Bridge are humorous as their independent and strong personalities find their match in each other as they take us on an intriguing and entertaining ride that leaves us wanting to know what the future holds for this couple.

Oh my word I need the next book now!!! That cliffhanger! I kept swiping on my kindle thinking it wasn’t working right when I realized I was at the end!!! This book hooked me immediately. I loved every moment of it!! It was pretty much a one sit read for me! If you like a steamy action packed book look no further! I loved Bridge and Emma! This one is going to definitely have me counting the days until the next release!!! This is the beginning of a new trilogy in the London Lords world. While you don’t necessarily need to read the previous trilogy’s in this world I think you may have a little better understanding on the back story in general. I absolutely recommend this book!!

Ok, so this is THE story from the London Lords that I have been waiting on. Who doesn't love a grumpy alpha billionnaire? Bridge and Emma have been dancong around each other since the very beginning of the London Lords, the prequel gives us background and context. This gives us so much more. Their repartee, interaction and rapport is so much fun. and chemistry is off the charts. I love the quid pro quos, even if the scenario is more or less the same as the others boy loves girl in secret, girl loves boy in secret, girls gets in trouble.....It could have been more of the same, but the magic really does work and now I have no finger nails left, and I have to wait for the 2nd volume..

Oh you know. Typical love story. H and h have wanted each other for years and years. H promised h's brother to protect her (against himself too I guess) so he doesn't pursue her. Now the brother is dead and all want revenge on who killed him but H and co won't bring h in on their plan so h makes her own plan. Also H needs to improve his social reputation so he asks h to be his pretend girlfriend. h agrees with the caveat that she be allowed in on the plan to avenge her brother's murder. And you know what happens next! 😁

I have been waiting for Bridge and Emma through the previous books in this series. And, this book was more than anything I could’ve expected! Emma is smart, stubborn, and just awesome. Bridge, well Bridge has some serious issues to overcome and I couldn’t decide if I wanted to hug him or smack him more often. They belong together, and while we’ll have to survive two cliffhangers before they get an HEA, I trust this author to give them (and us) an epic love story!

A Page Turner
This is the first book in The Speak No Evil Trilogy and a great start to the series. It won't take you long to get involved with Emma and Bridge's story. No shortage of drama or suspense as Emma's brother Toby is murdered. The London Lords become involved and the plot is thickened with a fake marriage. A page turner by Nana Malone. I read an arc via the author and voluntarily chose to write a review.

Great start to what look to be another fantastic trilogy from Nana Malone! Bridge and Emma’s story has been coming for a while and wow it was great! It did not disappoint! Their chemistry was off the charts! OMG! Nana’s a genius with cliffhangers! I can’t wait for Bridge of Lies, book 2 in the Speak No Evil Trilogy. I think it’s going to be great!

The cliffhanger😭😭 why does this happen to me?!?

I need MORE and I need it now!!
Seriously, how is it that Author Nana Malone’s books keep getting better, more intense, more addictive and more hot. Everything in this latest book, LONDON BRIDGE, is just well, MORE!!!
Bridge is deep thinking, internally controlled and absolutely loathes his father and the control he tries to exert over Bridge’s life, both personally and in business. In the past books in this series, we superficially know what has been going on over the course of a year or so, but here, we get into his mind and he was everything I was anticipating and well, MORE! Of course we also get to meet his parents giving insight into the people who influenced and moulded him, his Lordly and disgustingly narcissistic father, and his mother. She was such a hard case and thankfully everything who made him into the man that he is, and he most certainly hadn’t become too big or too powerful a man to be cut down to size by a tongue lashing from his mother!
I have to say that I absolutely adored him. He is quite possibly my favourite even. This broody sexy man, who unfortunately controls those he loves in the best effort to protect and keep them safe, all while he resented the interference from his father. It also backfired for him, so, so badly.
Emma Varma. I absolutely and completely admired her. Due to the common history of their fathers, it was her older brother Toby who Bridge had been best friends with and connected with most out of all of their friends. Since they’d first met, Emma had carried a crush for the handsome Bridge, who at the time viewed her as a little sister, a very attractive little sister. If you’ve not read the free prequel yet, grab it now! In this book, she has come into her own. She is fiery, determined and steadfastly resolved to carry on her own investigation into the death of her brother a decade before, where she feels that the London Lords have stalled. She’s also so very tired of being excluded and still viewed as a little sister to Toby Varma, deceased brother, best friend and Elite’s Member.
She is also the antithesis to Bridge, and refused to do as Bridge demanded, staying out of the way and safely sequestered in the US with her mother. Now she’s back, Bridge insisted on keeping his promise to Toby, to protect her and look after her, not be horrendously tempted by her. Wow, the chemistry, the fire and the fireworks were incendiary! So palpable, so solid that it was almost another character on it’s own within this book.
He was everything that Emma was anticipating and MORE! Yep, that MORE has come up again. And between these two, it certainly came up more than a few times. Ms Malone’s bedroom scenes were hot as hades, eyeball burning, sweat inducing, slide-off-your-seat H O T 🔥🔥🔥
You know where I said that Bridge’s over-controlling methods of protection backfired badly for him? Well, that is where LONDON BRIDGE ends with a cliff-hanger that has me all bent out of shape! I know that Ms Malone writes duets, and in the case of the London Lords, trilogies, so I shouldn’t surprise myself when I want to tear my hair out and am tempted to message rudeness to our illustrious author. She is the only author who I consistently read cliffies for, knowing that the wait is worth it. It definitely is. So for all of you cliff-hanger-haters out there, pull those big-girl-reading-panties up and harden up. The London Lords are waiting for you, and most specifically, LONDON BRIDGE is what you want to be hitting. 5-Freaking-Stars! ❤♚❤

I'm really not sure why I keep reading Nana Malone books because all she does is torture me. Teehee!!! I personally loved London Bridge Nana Malone gave me everything I look for in her books suspense, tension, head butting and steam. The head butting between Bridge and Emma keeps you wondering who is going to when. Emma is a strong, intelligent and very feisty. She is doing everything she can to bring justice for her brothers death. Bridge takes a little getting to know. He is loyal, protective and smart in some things and very stupid in others. Sometimes I just wanted to beat knots on his head. My biggest complaint is with the Lords of London and how they have not learned anything when it comes to women. (eyes rolling) I get they want to protect their friends and loved ones, in the process of doing this they tend to stifle people. When things happen Bridge immediately jumps to all sorts of conclusion instead of finding out what is going on, this annoyed me. When Emma feels she is being held back she tends to run away so she can spread her wings. In my opinion she was very smart in how she got close to the enemy. The Lords of London did a very bad job of appreciating what she could do. In my opinion the Lords of London dropped the ball in a big way. I found it a fun ride and can't wait for the next one. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader's copy.

I live for Bridge and Emma, I live for all of their hot and cold, frost and heat, their inability to communicate and also when they do (with their bodies).
This has been the story that I was waiting for, Nana delivered a pretty intense duo, who started off in the beginning tepid and ended up burning up the pages.
Nana never disappoints by giving us leading ladies of all backgrounds and cultures, also making sure that they are strong and can hold their own around the London Lords.
I love that we also read more about Bridge's upbringing and we meet some of his family members, FYI you are going to love his mom!!
London Bridge leaves you wanting more, I am concern because I see no reference to when to expect more Emma and Bridge, because OMG I need to know what will happen between these two firecrackers!

I thought I was prepared for this book, but I wasn’t. Definitely not prepared for that cliffhanger, should have been, but again nope. I love East, my love for that man is strong, however Bridge just hits different and I might love him more. Emma is sassy and feisty and I love her, Emma and Bridge together are perfection. This book has a bit of angst, drama, suspense, and a whole lot of steam. That ending though! It’s going to kill me until the next book comes out cause I need to know all the things! I need to know what Bridge’s scheming old fool of a dad is up to, who did what happened to Emma at the end, and I need more answers about Darcy! If you can’t tell, I highly recommend this book. It is so freaking good!

Emma and Bridge are simply EVERYTHING!! This book is an epic dance filled with intense emotion, taut tension, electric chemistry, edge of your seat suspense, can't look away drama, give your heart a workout angst, razor sharp glints of humor and send your temperature soaring steam. The writing is smartly done, fast paced and reads sinfully smooth. I found myself quickly caught up in this wickedly enticing tale and when that cliffy hit, it left me stunned and desperate for book two. Whew! Oh well, I know the wait will be 100% worth it!! I am freely posting a frank review.

I love this group of friends! Finally we get Bridge's story and what a story this was, or start of. Emma and Bridge have been dancing around each other forever, the chemistry was always crackling and off the charts. I've been waiting for these two to realize what they could be for many books. The ending has me during to read more, well the whole story does, I can't wait to see what happens next.

A heartbreaker with an edge, a damsel that's no pushover and a danger that neither expected to find. Malone brings a fierce fire to a haunting story. Bridge and Emma pull emotions into a breathtaking adventure that turns tragedy into redemption and heartache into love. A can't put down thrill ride.
