Dirty Empire
Dirty Empire Book #3
by
Nina West/K. A. Tucker
************
Dirty Empire, book three of the Dirty Empire series by K. A. Tucker, aka, Nina West, continues with the Mercy and Gabriel relationship within Easton crime family. Being book three of a series and it would be better if books one and two were read first. I make this suggestion because all three books have had surprise cliffhanger endings the aftermath of which is the beginning of the next book. However, both Gabriel Fallen and Dirty Empire could be read as standalone short novels as long as you don’t mind not knowing all the details of the previous book.
Dirty Empire is the first of the Trilogy where bedroom antics do not overshadow the story line. Where Mercy is concerned, a softer, more human side of Gabriel emerges. However, regarding ‘business’, the brothers Easton show their harder side in Book Three.
Whether readers like, or dislike, detailed descriptions of his love life (Books 1&2), I think many readers will read the series just to find out what happens in the next book. All three books have moved along at a cracking pace and all three have had totally unexpected cliffhanger endings.
The fourth book of the Dirty Empire Trilogy (this is not a typo-see Goodreads Sweet Mercy blurb) is to be published in September 2021.
At just over 200 pages the Dirty Empire series could be labelled a series of short novels.

A great time was had and if you don’t mind
