Title: Elias (West Bend Series-Book 1)
Author: Sabrina Paige
Review: This book was about a woman named River who grew up poor but became a movie star. When she finds her soon to be fiancĂ© and her sister in a compromising position, River leaves Hollywood and heads to West Bend, CO where she meets Elias Saint.  He is just back from rehab after losing his leg in the war and who also has a unfavorable past.  He never thought he'd return to West Bend, but family calls.  I enjoyed reading this book.  The characters were interesting and the plot engaging.  Turns out Elias Saint - is no saint at all.
Rating: 4

Title: Silas (West Bend Series - Book 2)
Author: Sabrina Paige
Review: This is the second book in the West Bend Series and focuses on Silas (Elias' twin brother)  and Tempest Wilde.  Tempest is a grifter, but only cons people who deserve to be conned.  She like a modern day Robin Hood - gives money to the victims or those harmed by the people she's conning.
Tempest just happens to also be a past love of Silas - who he was supposed to marry until her parents whisked her away when she was a teenager.  When Tempest returns to West Bend after a heist and also bumping into Silas who was fighting in Vegas, the mystery of Silas father's death and then mother's death comes into play.  Will West Bend be Tempest's biggest con yet?  Read to find out.
