West of Sin, a debut novel from Wesley S. Lewis. I didn't know exactly what to expect when I got a review request from the author, but this book turned out to be a glorious, suspenseful action-packed book that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
I finished this book in just two sittings; that illustrates how wrapped up I was in the story and couldn't put it down.

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.

I want to say thank you to the author for sending me this book for an honest review. The storyline for this book is interesting and has potential. However, I wasn’t invested into the story and I think it lacked the excitement factor. Although, there are moments of suspense I think it took quite a while for the story to build up. I would recommend this if you’re interested. The writing style and characters are very well written. In some aspects the author knows how to tell a story. But for ...more

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!
1. I finished this book in one day
2. good storytelling, keeps you on the edge of your seat
3. interesting, flawed and relateable characters
That being said, the story is a little slow to get started and the blurb and cover are a little misleading. I'm ok with the story starting out slow here because it picks up and keeps going, like an in your face over the top action movie, which was presentably surprising as I thought it was going to be an over the top sex and romance story.. and while there i ...more

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.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable book. The characters are believable, realistic, and easy to relate to. There is plenty of action, although not a lot of suspense, to keep the reader engaged to see what's next. It is your typical (to a certain extent) romantic thriller in that the female lead meets the male lead and one thing leads to another. I usually avoid romance and romantic suspense because I prefer my mysteries & thrillers to focus on the mystery and thrills. This book didn't do too badly in

This book was such a pleasant surprise! It doesn’t immediately sound like something I’d love, but once I started reading I didn’t want to stop. It’s much more straight-up action (think Ocean’s-Eleven-heist-type book) than mystery/thriller, and I think what made it work for me were the characters. They were lovable (or hatable) and the author did a great job distinguishing everyone within a pretty large cast of characters.

First of all I'd like to thank Books Go Social for sharing an ARC of this book in exchange for my review.
We start out with Jennifer in Las Vegas for a work conference. She's particularly keen because this is supposed to be the time for her to finally make a connection with her boss (whose marriage ended a year ago). Everything is set for her but then she finds him in bed with her co-worker and she runs away from the hotel and the conference. She thinks life can't get much worse but then she get ...more

I thoroughly enjoyed this page-turning thriller by Wesley Lewis. The exceptional writing, character development, and plot twists kept me engaged to the very end. It's clear the author put a lot of research and attention to detail into writing this book. Can't wait to see what he has in store for the next novel!

I'm setting this aside for now. As much as I wanted to like this book, it just did not appeal to me. I want to thank the author for sending me a copy. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to get to read upcoming books. This is due out on Feb. 4, 2020. If it's something that looks interesting to you, definitely give it a go. I really liked the characters and I thought the writing was good. I just wasn't into the story.

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.
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!

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.

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.

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.
