Sin and Vengeance is suspense at it's best! This is definatly a page turning all night read. Randy is twisted, manipulative, and spiteful. Charlie pals up with Randy, and finds himself involved in crimes, to which there may be no way out. Twists and turns throughout this book, will have you sitting at the edge of your seat. Add to this, some knowledge of wine making, makes for the perfect read. I highly reccomend Sin & Vengeance and the sequal A Demon Awaits.

Sin and Vengeance is the first book in the Randy Black series, written by ingenious storyteller, CJ West. In this first book, the author skillfully mixes elements of wine making, seduction, intrigue, spying, wealth, and murder to drag the thrill-seeking reader into the masterfully orchestrated revenge of Randy Black.
The book begins with Deirdre Deudon, Randy Black, and Charlie Marston's lusty encounter at an old house at Rue de Beauchene in France. Things get out of control when Deir More...

The hero, Charlie is one of those guys that I related to instantly. Once a star athlete, Charlie is so heartbreakingly lost at the opening of this story. Due to a knee injury, his dreams of playing football are gone. He goes from the top of the world to rock bottom, and I felt for him, I really did. On top of that loss, he's getting pressured from his family to join the family business, which isn't Charlie's idea of his ideal job.

Sin and Vengeance is the right title for this book. Main character Charlie Marston gets mixed up with a troublesome friend and soon his life begins to spin out of control. Just when I was sure it couldn't get worse for Charlie, it did. I like stories like this where the action lies heavily in the protagonist outsmarting a nemesis. Early in the book I had a some trouble believing that an otherwise nice guy like Charlie would invite a person like Randy Black into his life, but the escalating stake

This novel is very exciting; it has everything one can wish for in a good thriller: sex, violence, great mystery and a fast paced plot with superbly described effects tantalizing the imagination. To heighten the thrill, Mr West embedded hidden messages, an added stimulant for those up to the challenge of deciphering them.
Right from the start we are plunged into a compelling intrigue that created the foundation for this great story. A threesome sets out for a night of erotic debauch s More...

'Sin and Vengeance' is an action-packed suspense/thriller.
It is very well written and the characters are all well-developed and realistic.
This is the story of a ruthless business man, Charles Marston, who after 15 years of getting away with his underhand activities, is now being pursued by one of his 'victims'. The tables turn so that he now becomes a victim of his crimes. Charles's whole family become targets for a man so scarred by past events. This man, seeking vengeance, is a More...

This book is amazing! It starts out with an unusually sexy scene that will get your temperature rising! Sin & Vengeance, a suspense-thriller-mystery, will keep you on the edge of your seat all the way to the end. It's pure brilliance will turn the pages for you, I just couldn't put it down. I was entranced by it! Truly, I couldn't help but feel as if the words jumped off the pages and played out in front of me. It definitely has to be the best book I've read in a long while. S&V is most exh

Everyone on the Amazon Kindle page has been raving about CJ West, and I have to say, I agree! This book was a little slow to start for me, but by the 30-40% mark, I was hooked and couldn't put it down. I was able to predict some things (like Randy Black's true identity), but it did not detract from the story at all. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

I don't usually read these types of books. So why did i really like it? The pacing was superb, the action was thrilling, and it was a story that hadn't already been told fifty times by other authors. This book should be on the NY Times best seller list. Tell your friends that there are authors out there that are writing new and exciting things and to check out "Sin and Vengeance". I'm off now to read the next book "A Demon Awaits".
