West Of Sin By Wesley S. Lewis

4 Stars

While on a business trip in Las Vegas, Jennifer catches her boss, who also happens to be her lover, in a tryst with another coworker. All she cares about is leaving, so she does. Down the road she find herself caught up in a robbery. Saved by a man known to her as Crocker, she soons finds herself in a whole lot more trouble than just a failed relationship and a simple robbery. She finds herself in danger.

I had no complaints about this book. It was written very well and in a manner that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It was fast paced and full of danger. The characters are real and easy to like and relate too. The only real complaint was the ending. It was a bit abrupt. I would have liked more about Crocker and Jennifer.

Overall, this book was jam packed with danger. It was fast paced from start to finish. I hated putting it down. I have read a good crime thriller in a while and this hit the spot.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book.

This is my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Well written and easy to read edge of the seat thriller with good characters and action. This is an entertaining read.

The book is packed full of everything you would want in a good thriller starting with an excellent opening chapter that invites the reader in with its excitement, drama, action, intrigue, and much more.

written very well and in a manner that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It was fast-paced and full of danger. The characters are real and easy to like and relate too. The only real complaint was the ending. It was a bit abrupt.

A book that will keep you interested from the first page until the last. Jennifer Williams is in Vegas with her company for a convention but also wanting more from her job and her boss. When she thinks her boss is not giving her the time she needs she decides to go for a drive. The problem is she is not from Vegas, has no idea where she is going. She ends up on a small two-lane road and stopping at a service station convince store. Her day becomes worse here and when she returns to her hotel room in Vegas everything about her day, night and the past 24 hours has gone from preparing for a powerpoint presentation to trying to save her life and co-worker along with the people she meets after the convince store situation.
Matt who she meets and helps her at the convince store stays with her and they work well together. The author then adds other characters from there and each one adds to the story, even when you think at the beginning of the scene why are they there it all works when you start getting into it. The author has you thinking about multiple items while you are reading which was good. A very good story with very good characters.

Well written and easy to read book with great characters and really full of action, this is great entertainment.

An adrenaline fueled thrill ride!

Jennifer is in Las Vegas attending a real estate conference. While not excited to be at the conference itself, she is looking forward to spending some time with her boss Bryan. They have been spending some time together, keeping things respectable, but now that he has made an official break from his marriage, Jennifer is looking forward to their relationship moving to the next level, and is hoping the conference is the perfect time to make that move.

Jennifer's plans fall apart when she walks into her room to find her conference room-mate and Bryan together in an intimate position. In shock, brokenhearted, and with her room occupied, she jumps in the car and escapes into the night, getting as far from the strip as she can. As her initial shock wears off she finds herself lost on the desert roads beyond Las Vegas. Pulling into a truck stop to get directions, she ends up interrupting a robbery. Another bystander - Matt Crocker, intervenes and saves her, thwarting the would be robbers in the process. But small towns can hold big secrets, and what at first seems to be a simple run-of-the-mill robbery turns out to be much more. Soon both Jennifer and Crocker are on the run and their pursuers are clearly hedging their bets in this deadly game.

I was impressed by this debut novel. The writing was clean, not overdone, and definitely engaging. I was drawn in quickly and burned through this fast paced book in no time.

Happy Reading,
Christine

Wow, for a first novel it gets 5 stars, it held my attention from the first page.....great characters, and just an all around great story with some twists and turns along the way......loved it!

Bryan led her to believe that after his divorce that they had a future, but Jennifer Williams finds him in a compromising position with her friend. Upset, she flees the hotel and ends up lost. Stopping at a gas station, she steps right in to the middle of an armed robbery. She is saved by Matt Crocker, a fire arms instructor, who takes down the three robbers. When the police arrive, Crocker realizes that they may have become involved in a much more dangerous situation than the robbery of a gas station ATM. An entertaining read with humor, romance and danger as Jennifer and Crocker try to stay alive. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, it had everything I was looking for in a mystery novel and I also really liked the characters and the way they were written. I hope to read more from the author as I really enjoyed this one.

A fun read, not too complex or confusing, just a great action, mystery and romance filled story. The characters are realistic and the paving was good, a little slow at the offset but it soon picks up. Good twists and turns, keeps you interested , my first read by Wesley but won’t be my last.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

West of Sin by Wesley S. Lewis

Excellent debut novel that had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I expect a successful for this author as books continue to be written and published and this author grows in strength. I will gladly read more in the future if the stories are as good as this one.

What I liked:
* The main characters were not young but mature and had life experiences behind them. They were intelligent and thought things through while never giving up.
* Jennifer Williams may have found herself in a bad situation but managed to come through more than one such situation and so with aplomb.
* Matt Crocker was strong, skillful, intelligent and capable and yet very very human.
* The supporting characters added just the right touch without overpowering the main characters
* The plot and pacing and writing were excellent
* Being drawn into the story and feeling that I KNEW Jennifer and Matt
* That the bad guys were thwarted...eventually
* The twists, turns and surprises that popped up here and there
* The potential happiness for more than one at the end of the story

What I did not like
* The bad guys...they were despicable and deserved to be sent to a fiery end
* The loss of at least one character that bit the dust
* Having to say goodbye to the story when I finished the last page

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Definitely

Thank you to NetGalley and Red Granite Press for the ARC – This is my honest review.

5 Stars

This book was okay. It took me a little while to get into, but it was a good read overall. It didn’t do anything particularly special, but a solid book for thriller readers.

The story starts at a slow-paced but it picks up very quickly and it makes it for a one-sitting read. I got invested in the book overall, it has a bit of everything from the great characters and their relationship, along with their romance and time together as the cover will imply, there’s a lot of fast-paced action then and a few twists and turns that will keep you on the edge.
I’d say romantic suspense very well done and will definitely recommend it.

West of Sin may be my first read by Wesley S. Lewis (and his debut novel), but it won't be my last, as the story was an unexpected pleasure. This book has romance, humour, mystery and a little darkness too. There is a lot going on and many characters to keep track of, but well worth the read and thoroughly entertaining. I’m happy to recommend this book and readers who take the chance won’t be disappointed.

I love this book because for once a male author did not write a female character as a woman with bouncing boobs and a big ass. The characters felt like everyday people that you would meet on the street and I loved every moment of this book. Everything felt so flawless although I'm slightly concerned that she keeps seeing Ashley naked with a strong man's hands on her waist. This is a book that embraces girl power and is not ashamed of it.
Definitely a reread.

5 out of 5 stars.

West of Sin is a superb read!

The plot is fast and quite interesting. I was hooked into the characters almost from the start of this Mystery/Suspense action-packed story.

Jennifer has waited a year for her boss, Bryan, to get a divorce. She knows that when he does they can be together. But - things happen on a drunken evening at the Las Vegas hotel Bryan's real estate company is staying at.. Impulse moves by a few of the real estate group send the reader on a superbly written journey!

A MUST READ!

Many Thanks to BooksGoSocial / Red Granite Press & NetGalley.

This one starts fast and never wavers. Well written with a twisted plot. Sweetheart ranch girls and Russian drug dealers. Finished it in two days. Will certainly read more from this author

This was a fun, romantic romp. It was not what I expected at all! It was funny, it had a mystery, and it kind of read like a dark film noir. I did have trouble at times keeping up with all of the characters. But I was drawn into the story and enjoyed it!

Thank you to The publisher and net galley for the ARC which did not impact my review.
