Description
Jennifer Williams hoped her budding relationship with her newly single boss would make this year’s real estate conference bearable. Then she caught her boss in bed with a coworker and sped off into the desert, leaving the conference, the hotel, and the Las Vegas Strip in her rear view mirror.
Lost and alone, she stops for directions at a small-town truck stop and disrupts a robbery in progress. Her presence threatens to escalate the situation, until another bystander—a man running from his own tragic past—steps forward to protect her. She soon learns that the attempted robbery wasn’t what it appeared and that this small town west of Sin City is home to a big secret.

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.
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Well written and easy to read edge of the seat thriller with good characters and action. This is an entertaining read.
Well written, easy to read and follow, the story flows at a good pace.
Good thriller.
Beautiful cover.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book.
This is my honest review. All opinions are my own.

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.
