Deep Pockets (Kings and Rivals #1) by Nana Malone ~ Book Review

 

 

Deep Pockets by Nana Malone is now live!

I was never supposed to have a crush on my best friend's little sister. Morgan is too young. Too innocent. And she's in far too much danger.

I’ve built a legitimate empire in New York, far from the life of shadows and violence in which I was raised. I'm heir to a dark throne.

When she needs temporary shelter, I allow her to crash at my place. Being this close to her, without touching her, hurts like hell. But I can play the white knight for a few weeks.

I have to stay away from her, even while I keep her safe.

Even if it means not touching her beautiful body.

Even if it means seeing the hurt in her eyes.

Then my former life comes crashing in. She doesn’t know how deep the stakes go—and I can't afford to let her find out. Protecting her means keeping her close, even if it means risking everything, including my own heart.

Deep Pockets is a steamy enemies-to-lovers romance filled with high-stakes tension, passion, and the thin line between loyalty and love. It’s a journey of tragic pasts, fierce protectiveness, and the realization that sometimes, the heart wants what it has secretly craved all along.

If you read the KINGS OF THE BOARDROOM SERIES, you will also want to read this one because it is Lance and Morgan's (Gwen's best friend and her younger sister) story. And let me tell you, there was a reason we felt some tension between the two in the prior series. Grab the ice water, you're going to need it.

Morgan has been helplessly in love with Lance for as long as she can remember, and time after time, he has come to her rescue. But now she needs to give up on her childhood crush once and for all after they spend one night together and he utterly breaks her heart into a zillion pieces. It's a good thing her sister is on her honeymoon, so it will be easy to avoid him.

Lance has a secret that has revealed itself at the most inopportune time, while he has Morgan in bed. But he can't let his past know about her, so he does only what he can and tosses her out.

This story had me at the edge of my seat. There was so much going on between the push and pull between Lance & Morgan, and everything that has been revealed about Lance's past and how it's currently working its way into Lance's life. 

 

I recommend this book to readers who enjoy SPICY Romantic Suspense, Close Proximity Romances, Interracial Romances, Billionaire Romances, Enemies-to-Lovers Romances, Age Gap Romances, and I am going to throw this one here as well - hidden identity.

Happy Reading!!!

Meet Nana

USA Today Bestseller, Nana Malone's love of all things romance and adventure 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.

While she waits for her chance at a job as a ninja assassin, in the meantime Nana works out her drama, passion, and sass with fictional characters every bit as sassy and kick butt as she thinks she is.
