It began with a stolen almost-kiss. And ended in revenge.
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.
My money can buy power, control, access. Even oaths of loyalty.
But I can’t buy her.
And unfortunately, she’s the key to my revenge.
So what do I have to do to convince her to help me? Good thing I can be very convincing.
Wall Street Journal & USA Today Bestselling author, Nana Malone writes Sexy Feel-Good Romance and loves of 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.
See No Evil Trilogy by Nana Malone, is the compilation of the Series, the individual books are: Big Ben, The Benefactor and For Your Benefit, in one book, and how I wanted to read it!!! This story is one of those in which once you start reading you won't want to put it down until you reach the end. We meet Ben Covington, who is a rich and very handsome man who together with his group of close friends are known as the London Lords, they have been friends since school and thanks to their money, power and connections they become members of The Elite, a secret society, but after discovering the truth about the death of a close friend, they vow to defeat The Elite and punish those responsible. Seeking justice, Ben meets Olivia (Livy) Ashong under somewhat crazy circumstances and inadvertently draws her into his situation and is forced to do everything he can to keep her safe. I really enjoyed this trilogy, and being able to read it without waiting between one book and another was what I liked the most! I love the series but the wait kills me😅. I highly recommend it, this story is exciting and addictive, a roller coaster of emotions and is full of action, revenge, justice, friendship, loyalty, suspense, danger, intrigue, mystery, unexpected twists, drama, betrayal, witty jokes, humor and of course much love. I know you will love it. *Thanks to Nana Malone and Valentine PR & Literary Management for my ARC. I voluntarily leave my honest review*

A fantastic trilogy from Nana Malone with Big Ben, The Benefactor and For Her Benefit all brought together in one book so no cliff hangers for anyone who hasn’t already read this amazing, light hearted, romantic suspense series. It’s the story of the wealthy Ben Covington, a member of a close group of friends known as the London Lords. Friends since their school days, which ultimately led to them becoming members of The Elite, a secret society consisting of old Etonians but after discovering the truth about the death of a close friend they’ve vowed to bring down the Elite and punish those responsible. In pursuit of justice Ben meets Olivia Ashong in less than auspicious circumstances and in true James Bond style, Ben leaves her with a kiss but no name not realising he has unwittingly drawn her into his schemes. What follows is a rollercoaster of a read that doesn’t let up for a second in a plot involving secret societies, sex traffickers, stalkers and mystery and suspense galore as Ben, Livy and their friends try to outwit their prey. I adored Ben and Livy as a couple. The sexual tension sizzled between them but aside from that they made for a fun couple. Yes Ben was a bit of a git to start with but a lot of that was his attempt to protect Livy and she soon put him straight on that and they became a team. With a fantastic cast of secondary characters some who will be familiar to fans of this author, I’m sure we haven’t heard the last of the London Lords.
This is The London Lords Trilogy and it is Ben and Livy’s story and omg it is definitely a must read. Ben and his best friends are part of a secret society called The Elite but when one of there friends is killed they vow to seek revenge but to do that they will have to find and gather as much information as possible to be able to bring them down and get justice regardless of what they have to do or the situation that they find themselves in. When Ben meets Livy in a situation that neither expected it brings Livy into there plot making it very dangerous for her so now somehow they will have to carry on what they are doing plus now they will have to protect and keep her safe. This Trilogy takes you in right from the start and on a roller coaster ride with twists and turns along with danger, suspense, surprises, drama, betrayal, mystery, strong and intense chemistry, great characters, stalkers, revenge, hope and situations that have you on the edge of your seat and turning the pages to see what would happen next and it was so addictive and had a great storyline that pulled you in and had you completely hooked and I couldn’t put it down. I really enjoyed reading story and I definitely recommend you read it and you will not be disappointed.

The fact that this was a 3 in 1 was such a great thing. In the same breath it was really hard to review but we're gonna attempt this now. Firstly, thanks to Nana Malone and Valentine PR & Literary Management for my ARC.
The series on a whole was 4⭐ and imma leave it at that.
In the first book we meet Ben Covington, who is a member of the Elite, a cabal of aristocratic men who, in essence, run everything significant in London. Olivia Ashong and her boyfriend are at a banquet when she steps away from the shindig for a breather (social anxiety) and she runs into Ben because they both need to hide in the same closet. Ben sneaks information onto Olivia's USB without her knowing, she copies the USB to see what's on it, and their lives become so knotted that, in the end, we can only attribute it to fate.
Did I mention that Ben is trying to take down that secret society with his friends? Well yes, they're def all doing their very own James Bond mission except the stakes are at an all time high.
Second book Ben and Livy now live together and he's slowly but surely falling in love with Livy, and she feels the same but they refuse to say it for different reasons. They're still trying to take down this secret society, but now it isn't just because of exacting revenge, it's to also keep the people he cares about safe. In this novel, their personalities are further developed and stand out more. Livy and Ben's relationship is passionate, hot, and stressful. Together, I adore them.
For the final book she successfully condenses everything that is significant into a small package, but rather than adding a bow, she gives us a sneak peek at the next couple. Ben and Livy receive a happy ending, and she also provides us with all the information we need to move on to our next exciting journey.
My thoughts: The fact that Nana wrote a man that I wanted to defend FROM the FMC is crazy because in my eyes women can do no wrong, but not going to lie Livy made me want to body slam her a couple of times. ON THE OTHER HAND THOUGH, she is very slay and funny. Like I totally got the need for independence and needing to have roots/family etc. She was relatable when she wasn't trying to put words in Ben's mouth.
One thing about Mr. Ben Covington is that he WILL be saying 'she's mine'. 'she belongs to me', 'you're mine', 'you belong to me', or some variation that doesn't stray far from that. THIS MAN WAS WHIPPED FROM DAY ONE. It was cute to see him go out of his way to be by Livy's side.
I love the London lords.
Thank you for coming to my ted-talk
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Big Ben: Been excited to dive into this as this is a new to me author that I've heard many great things about by more than a few friends, and although her previous books appeared to be a bit too light for this dark soul, the blurb caught my attention and wouldn't let go.
Luckily the suspense drags you in from the very beginning with some added humour mixed in. Although I'm not one for humour in books normally, I am enjoying it in this so far. The pace of the book is fast from the get go and pretty soon you'll find yourself dragged into the mysterious secret society.
Soon you'll been chased down dark alleys, and looking over your shoulder constantly while rich playboys with secret pasts have scores to settle. You won't be able to look away. The British terms were a nice break from normal terminology in books, but also again lightened the book a tad too much for this black heart. Luckily the book is so riddled with suspense that it almost balances it out.
The style of writing is so well done no matter my tastes, that it's very easy to see why this was a raved about author.
The Benefactor: Book 2 starts off exactly where book 1 left us hanging and you will not believe the secrets and betrayal that fly from the pages.
Ben annoyed me a bit in this one, with his caveman ways, but I believe that was intentional... Then again Liv annoyed me with her stubbornness later on...
Putting all that aside once all cards are on the table, will they all be able to work together, or will they keep getting thwarted by surprises?
This is a short but sweet review as this is the middle book of a trilogy so it's hard to talk about anything without ruining the journey. So much happens in this book, and I enjoyed it more than the first, truly invested now!!
For Her Benefit: This is going to another short and sweet review as between the 3 books of this page turning trilogy a lot of things happened and should all be experienced first hand.
I think this was a fantastic way to wrap it up, with twists to keep you guessing till the very last page. I get why some reviews are saying a few things are left unanswered, but to me with how it ended I'm sure they will be dealt with, just not from Livy and Ben's POV...
I do hope we get to see their trip to the Isles though...
Even though these books have been lighter than my normal go to books, I still throughly enjoyed and look forward to next in series.
I LOVE Nana Malone's romantic suspense, and those who haven't read the See No Evil Trilogy to this point are very lucky that y'all get it in one place. I seriously was so impatient as I read them individually when they first came out LOL!
Big Ben (Book 1): Ben is part of a secret society who seems to have killed off his friend, and now he's about revenge. Livy comes across his path to shake everything up. They have chemistry in spades, like I'm talking about it being palpable which jumped out of my kindle, which is the very best kind to be honest. Then, there are those twists that keep the loud f-bombs dropping and that is totally my happy place. Rounding out the trifecta of perfection is the emotions that have been pulled out to really take it all out of me.
The Benefactor (Book 2) The brilliant Nana Malone per usual, came out of the gate with a bang, and it never slowed down for me. There are a crap ton of twists that are all turned out leaving me to drop loud f-bomb after loud f-bombs, and that's truly my happy place. It's a race against time to find the Yellow Canary because of some dangerous things going on around them, which also makes it an edge of your seat piece of goodness that keeps the heart racing. And that also makes for big time excitement, danger, suspense, and so much hotness that I really thought I was going to spontaneously combust.
For Her Benefit (Book 3) You know, Nana Malone definitely grabbed my attention from the first book that I read from her, but what's even more amazing, she keeps book after book after book, well, you get the point. The twists that she pens are insane because they aren't your normal twists that the reader can see coming, nope, they're actually unexpected to the point that my intense mind can't even comprehend what is coming, so I just drop loud f-bombs instead. I have LOVED this Trilogy so much, and like her other books, I will be revisiting it again & again just because. There's so much heart racing excitement, all kinds of emotional upheaval, colorful descriptions so I feel like I'm there in person, and heat, oh the heat!
You really don't want to pass all this goodness up as I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
𝙍𝙀𝙑𝙄𝙀𝙒: See No Evil is the compilation of Big Ben, The Benefactor and For Her Benefit - the first 3 books in the London Lords series. This dark, billionaire romance is packed with personal growth, dark twists and turns, and heartwarming romance with comedic relief that adds a wonderful breather.
Ben Covington is a billionaire playboy with women falling at his feet and no interest in commitment, that is until he meets Olivia. She's highly strung, anxious, and even worse, she has a boyfriend - who is TERRIBLE btw.
Both main characters are opposites - Ben lives life dangerously; he's part of a secret society and has more money than sense, while Livy has hers meticulously planned out, and she knows it's incredibly boring. So when they get stuck inside a closet together at a party, events are set in motion that will turn their worlds upside down. 😱
Ben falls fast, throwing himself and his heart at Livy's feet. At times his caveman persona got a little much for me, but at heart he's a romantic that cares deeply for Livy. Meanwhile, Livy is cautious, and finds it hard to even admit she likes Ben, let alone anything else. But as the billionaire says, they're inevitable.
Nana Malone has a whole host of amazing supporting characters that add a great deal to the story. Each one is unique and fully fleshed out, and it made me want to read the rest of the series even more. In terms of story, there is two main plot lines; Ben's society, and Livy's book mystery. Both intertwine seamlessly and with every new plot twist, I was completely shook.
As a whole, I really enjoyed my introduction to the London Lords series, and to Nana Malone as an author! Thank you Valentine PR for the ARC opportunity. 💘
📚 secret society 📚 billionaire 📚 opposites attract
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
It began with a stolen almost kiss. And ended in revenge. 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 mortality, decency and legality. I will borrow and steal to set the scales right. My money can buy power, control, and access. Even oaths of loyalty. But I can't buy her. And unfortunately, she's the key to my revenge. SO what do I have to do to convince her to help me? Good thing I can be very convincing. My name is Ben Covington, and I know my sins.
If you have been wanting to read the entire collection of the See No Evil Trilogy, then this is the book for you. This includes Big Ben, The Benefactor, and For Her Benefit. This is the story of Ben and Olivia and what a story they have to tell. I was hooked from the beginning and hardly laid it down. I just had to know what was going to happen. There are some really funny moments and the greatest banter between the characters in this book. The romance is off the charts and I fell hard for Olivia and Ben. Then there is the suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I really loved reading this book. You do not want to miss it.
See No Evil Trilogy by Nana Malone is the Complete Collection/box set of the See No Evil Trilogy. This is a great way to read that Trilogy if haven't had the chance. If like me you have really enjoyed it but now have the chance for it to be in one book is exciting. This book is the story of Olivia 'Livy' Ashong and Ben Covington. Ben is a part of the Elite group of wealthy businessmen who are dangerous. Several years ago Ben's friend was killed which he and his other friends think the Elite group has something to do with it. Ben and his friends "The London Lords" are out to get revenge towards those that had a part in his death. Ben is at a fundraiser when he getting information toward their goals. Olivia is at the fundraiser too when she ducks into a closet to avoid something only to find Ben there too. Loved it!
Ben and his friends belong to a secret society known as “The Elite”, and when one of their friends is killed, they are on a mission seeking vengeance. When Ben meets Olivia / Livy, she is brought into the mix, and they will do whatever is needed to protect and keep her safe. This is an amazing trilogy, which is an emotional roller coaster, and is action packed, with vengeance, justice, friendships, loyalty, suspense, danger, intrigue, mystery, twists, drama, and betrayal, witty banter, humor, and is an entertaining story which all had me on tenterhooks throughout this thrilling and addictive page tuner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
Nana Malone is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I absolutely love the suspense, mystery, intrigue and humor she brings to her stories and this trilogy has it all and then some. Ben and Olivia have such an interesting dynamic that is so entertaining to read!! There is never a dull moment. The story line had me on the edge of my seat and at times I felt like I was watching this all play out like a movie. So good!!! I was so happy that this trilogy was offered together because the cliffhangers between books would have had me in an uproar if I’d had to wait on individual books to come out.
I loved the London Lords in Big Ben, The Benefactor and For Her Benefit. Here you've got Ben and Olivia's story - I read these when the books came out individually and you had to wait to find out how their story was going to end. Now you can read straight through as Ben tries to get revenge against those who killed his friend years before. Entertaining and exciting from beginning to end. Well done Nana Malone.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This was such a big read. I loved the first book and struggled to put it down. I found that the pace felt a little bit slower, and I wasn't as hooked. I did finish it, but it took me almost 5 days to read. I loved Ben and Livy and was routing for them from the start. Dexter and Fenton were such assholes and I wanted to throat punch them so much. Even though it took forever to read I loved it so much
So this book, or this collection I should say was amazing. There were points in the story Where of course it got frustrating, or you were so on edge wanting to know what was going to happen next but it he story itself is really good. I would definitely recommend it for someone who would prefer to read the entire collection at one time rather then in several different books.
The See No Evil Trilogy is a complete collection. There is Ben, the who is in a secret society called The Elite and on a path to see revenge for the death of his friend. Livy and Ben meet by accident but due to a snap decision made by Ben they're bought together again out of necessity.
What I liked about this book was the suspense, the who is pulling the strings and the side story of the book that Livy is working on. I also liked that it was the complete trilogy so even though there were some cliffhangers you could just keep reading instead of having to wait! The book did take me awhile to get into. In the beginning I struggled with connecting with the characters but as the trilogy progressed I enjoyed it more.
Thank you to Nana Malone and Valentine PR for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Billionaire Ben Covington and his friends are on a covert mission for vengeance. Which is how the beautiful Olivia Ashong gets sucked into Ben's life. Ben doesn't mind ... that is, until the bad guys start coming out of the woodwork. Ben refuses to back off but will he be able to keep Liv safe? Note: this story ends on a cliffhanger! Big Ben is fun, intriguing and suspenseful all rolled into one hot read!
The Benefactor
Billionaire Ben Covington and his friends are determined to get vengeance even after being warned off. Olivia Ashong's in danger too but is it because of Ben or is it because of something else? Ben vows to do everything in his power to keep Liv safe but will it be enough? Note: this story ends on a cliffhanger! The Benefactor is a funny, suspenseful and steamy story full of twists and turns that will keep you glued to your seat.
For Her Benefit
Billionaire Ben Covington and his friends are no closer to getting the vengeance they crave and Olivia Ashong's kidnappers are still on the loose. Which means Ben and his friend's mission is divided and they're going to need all hands on deck. Will they be able to succeed this time? For Her Benefit is an action-packed, suspenseful and steamy rom-com full of twists and turns that will have you turning the pages non-stop
This book had me from the beginning...I mean how do you forget hiding in the closet with a ceramic dick in your hand and making out with a strange with his appendage pressing into you. If that's not enough I'm a girl who loves good banter and Ben, East and Bridge have it all including just being HOT! With all this you also get romance, intrigue, mystery, and just a read you will not want to put down. It deals with some hard topics but Ben and Livy's love will shine through. You will love the story of Ben and Livy and long for more. Thank goodness we still have East and Bridge to really get to know.
This is the perfect way to get all of Ben and Olivia's story in one beautiful package and without any wait times. From slow burn to fiery hot this couple will have you feeling the heat while basking in the swoon. This series is exciting and engaging because it is filled with a seductive blend of drama, emotion, intensity, suspense, danger, mystery, humor, and stunning twists. Trust me, once you start reading you will be so happy you don't have to stop. This is my unbiased, unsolicited review.
I can’t believe I’ve had to wait until now for a this trilogy to be released together! This book has all of Ben’s stories, so there’s no more cliffhangers, no more waiting for the next story. These are great stories and I love that as a reader I feel included in the group. I love reading as Ben and Liv’s relationship progresses.
