Some say I can be ruthless.
Nyla Kincaid is about to find out.
I allowed her to get too close and in the end, she burned me.

Meting out my revenge will be so sweet.
And this time, I will not take care with her heart.

REVIEW:–EAST BOUND is the second instalment in Nana Malone’s contemporary, adult HEAR NO EVIL erotic, romantic suspense trilogy focusing on Interpol agent Nyla Kincaid, and billionaire Easton ‘East’ Hale. EAST BOUND should not be read as a stand alone, as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book one EAST END. The HEAR NO EVIL trilogy is spin-off from, and interconnected series to the author’s SEE NO EVIL trilogy focusing on three friends: Ben Covington, Easton Hale, and Bridge Edgerton, known as the London Lords, and all members of The Elite-the uber rich and powerful of Eton Academy in London England. Ben and Olivia’s story was told in the SEE NO EVIL trilogy where most of the characters were first introduced.

SOME BACKGROUND: Approximately ten years earlier, during their initiation into the group known as The Elite, Ben Covington, Easton Hale, and Bridge Edgerton lost their best friend and fellow Elite pledge Toby Varma as things quickly spiralled out of control. Seeking revenge against the people and families they held responsible for Toby’s death, Ben, East and Bridge walk a fine line between right and wrong in an effort to take down everyone involved. These are their stories. The Van Linsted family, the once powerful family heading The Elite- found themselves the center of an investigation into the abuse and trafficking of women, among other unethical crimes. When the case against the Van Linsted family landed on Interpol Agent Nyla Kincade’s desk, our heroine didn’t stop with the Van Linsted’s but continued to investigate everyone involved including Easton Hale and the London Lords, against the orders from her superiors in charge.

NOTE: The author includes references to a number of characters and events found in her other series.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Nyla and East) EAST BOUND follows in the aftermath of a perceived betrayal by Nyla against the man with whom she is falling in love but Nyla is currently suspended from her position with Interpol for disobeying the orders of the people in charge, and in this East struggles to trust Nyla in the wake of evidence he has uncovered at her home. Someone at Interpol has set their sights on the London Lords, and Nyla is about to get caught in the cross-fire. As Nyla continues to investigate a series of art thefts going back a number of years, her case is about to implode when her actions spark a fall-out, out of her control.

The relationship between Nyla and East continues to be tempestuous, at best, as East struggles to trust and accept that Nyla is on their side, after all, Nyla remains an agent at Interpol, and the people in charge, are still gunning for the London Lords. Nyla continues to protect our story line hero, and in this, East will bring our heroine back into the fold, only to place her in the direct line of fire. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word, although only used twice, more for shock value than anything else.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters, some byway of mention (from the author’s other series): Ben Covington and Olivia (See No Evil trilogy); Bridge Edgerton; fellow London Lord Drew Wilcox; computer hacker Telly Brinx; Lucas and Bryna (Royals Undone Series); Nyla’s fellow agent and partner Amelia Jansen; Nyla’s ex-boyfriend and Interpol agent Denning Sinclair; and her father Section Chief /Interpol Agent Roger Kincade. The requisite evil has many faces.

EAST BOUND is a fast paced, intriguing and story of secrets and lies; family, friendships, and relationships; and a two secret societies who wield their power with authority and control. The character driven premise is richly detailed and complex; the romance is spicy and imaginative; the characters are fascinating, spirited, edgy and intense.There are many similarities to current day events, events that scream from our media headlines. EAST BOUND ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

Reviewed by Sandy

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.
