Las Vegas makes obvious sense as a setting for Michelle St. James’s brand of criminal romance. The city’s reputation for excess and moral flexibility fits the world she builds in King of Sin, Wages of Sin, and Surrender to Sin, three books that follow the power structures and personal entanglements of Las Vegas’s organized crime scene. The Sin-titled arc across all three books signals that nobody here is pretending to be innocent.
The series moves at a pace that suits the setting, with plenty of tension and sharp dialogue before the inevitable romantic resolution. King of Sin establishes the key players and the nature of the Las Vegas territory, while the following two books deepen the stakes and test whether the connections formed can survive the pressures of the criminal world around them. Readers who enjoyed the New York or Boston Syndicate installments will recognize the rhythm here.
