I knew this would end on a cliffhanger. I anticipated the cliffhanger. Yet, when it finally arrived, it wasn't what I expected and still managed to leave me with my mouth hanging open.
Ben and Olivia together are so light hearted, fun, witty, and sexy. It is hard to reconcile that with this dark, dangerous path they are traveling down. It is an interesting concept. They continue to encounter unpleasant, seedy, creepy, unstable, dangerous people.
This book is full of mystery, intrigue, and suspense. I don't know if it is just me, but this book also seems a bit darker and edgier than some of the previous books. A good start to the trilogy.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

Big Ben is the story of Livy and Ben. First off I could not wait for Ben’s story after meeting him in some of the royal books. His character did not disappoint. The sparks between him and Livy from the very beginning were electric. I didn’t expect the back story that was the driving force behind Ben. I really enjoyed meeting the other London Lords and hope they also get their own books. The build up between Ben and Livy was excellently written and their chemistry is explosive. The cliffhanger has me anxiously waiting for the next book..I think I might know who it is but I have guessed wrong these books before. Another great series by Nana Malone.

This was the first book I’ve ready by this author and I loved it! Ben sounded yummy from the start and I loved Olivia’s character!
There’s so much to unpack in this story. There’s mystery, danger, shitty boyfriends, amazing friends, and banter that’s basically foreplay!
It did end on a cliffhanger so be ready!

You can always count on Nana Malone to give you page turning suspense. I love the beginning of Ben and Livy story. These two had instant attraction and tons of chemistry. Ben and his friends are looking to avenge their friends death and Livy gets thrown into the mix after meeting Ben. Shane East and Mari narrate this book and do a wonderful job voicing Ben and Livy. Shane brings out Ben’s charm and Mari does a great job portraying Livy’s strength. If you love heart pounding action with spice thrown in definitely pick up the start of the See No Evil trilogy.

Surprise, this was basically part 1 of 3, so it's not a trilogy with separate linked stories, but an actual trilogy that tells the story of one couple over three books. So this ends on a cliffhanger.
It's a bit like What if the Illuminati but British boarding schools and aristocracy plus some spying and a very smart gal who accidentally winds up in the wrong closet at a party.
I did like it, this first part just moved very slowly - the relationship between Ben and Livvy really doesn't kick into gear until about the last 25%. She's got to break up with a very VERY terrible boyfriend and he's got to set up all his backstory with the Elite. I am interested in reading the others though

To be upfront, this is book 1 of a trilogy. There is no HEA, no 'ending' in this book. Just the beginning of the story of Ben & Liv. I loved these characters. They're fun, exciting & quirky. The storyline has good guys & bad guys & just when you think you know what's going on, everything changes. I loved it & am eagerly waiting for book 2. So why aren't I giving it 5*? I'm still not overly fond of not presenting the reader with a complete story, making them commit to 2 or more books before the ending.

Big Ben had me captivated from the moment I started the book. From the funny banter between the characters to the more serious notes as well.
This book features Ben and Olivia (Livy). They meet in a closet when they are both hiding out from people. Ben is trying to get something important and has to hide it in Olivia's purse. As he tries to get it back he realizes she works for him.
They work together and Ben offers Olivia a better job to get his item he gave her back. He realizes he has feelings for her, and Olivia likes him too even though she has a boyfriend.
Ben protects Olivia trough some stuff and they become friends. I was rooting for these two, because I didn't like Olivia's boyfriend.
I really liked this book, but it ended on a cliffhanger, and now I have to wait to see what happens next!

Ben and Olivia are the perfect match for each other the way they spar and how Olivia doesn't bow down to him nor give him an inch when others would pander to him. The way the story unfolds about the Elite and what Ben and his friends are trying to do draws you in and then there is Olivia's kinda boyfriends creepy boss you keep wondering if they will interconnect or if they just have crappy people in their lives at the moment. I was totally hooked by the ed and may have cursed once I got to the end even though I know Nana loves them cliffies!!!

Big Ben is the first book in this trilogy and it leaves me wanting more more more! This book has it all and was filled with romance and suspense. The back and forth between Ben and Livy and all that they encounter keeps you turning pages. This was a quick read for me as I couldn't put it down!
