In this Western novella, the outlaw Wesley Quaid wants to put the past behind him and start his life anew in another place where no one has ever heard of him. When a mysterious woman he once knew resurfaces, Wesley discovers that a man can't run from his past anymore than he can run from the kind of man he has become.

A Twist of Darkness

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 1, 2012

Wesley Quaid has appeared previously in a number of short stories by Matthew Pizzolato. An outlaw (hence the title) who's something of an anti-hero.

Moving from Texas, where he's a wanted man, to Kansas, Quaid plans to liberate some cash from a bustling town's bank. After he talks down a gun-crazy young man, he's offered a job as a deputy lawman. He's not seriously sold on the career change until he meets a young widow who works in the bank. Suddenly he's dreaming of more than a simple career change.

Outlaw starts out like many a traditional Western--a man made bad by circumstance and trying to turn his life around. Nothing wrong with that. And the story is interesting enough you keep turning pages, thinking you know exactly how it'll all turn out.

There's the fast pace and action you expect in the genre, enough romance to satisfy any female readers, well drawn and interesting characters and a realistic setting.

Then Pizzolato throws in a couple twists, the story turns much, much darker and you have a surprise ending. There's a romantic angle that's been hinted at in some of the earlier stories and it appears now it may bloom a little larger.

It'll be interesting to see what happens next in the Wesley Quaid saga.

The Outlaw rode into town on his fine animal that he named Cinnamon after never having named him before and lays plans to pretend like a good guy before he robs the town's bank. But, shucks, there are a few obstacles in the way (l) A safe that has a timer, (2) A pretty woman, (3) a young gunman or I should say, a wanna-be gunman, (4) that pretty female, (5) A wanted poster of which he is the subject. You get the idea that he may never hold up the bank because he may die before he gets to it or he may marry first or get arrested and thrown in the clink. But the sexy owner of the saloon has other ideas and so does the local sheriff, who makes him his Deputy. Wesley Quaid, the outlaw's present name, is put in a quandary - shall I rob the bank or settle down on a ranch with the pretty gal with the big brown eyes? The story leaves the Outlaw and the reader wondering what is going to happen and this makes a very entertaining account. Mister Pizzolato has come up with a winner here.

Is it better to get what you need or what you want?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 9, 2012

Outlaw is a very enjoyable read. I wasn't sure what to expect, as I haven't read a lot of books in this genre, but I was immediately drawn to the character Wesley Quaid, the protagonist/anti-hero so expertly crafted by the author Matthew Pizzolato. This is a riveting, page-turning story which provides an excellent combination of action, romance, heart-break and humor. This was one of the few times where, upon finishing the story, I immediately purchased the author's other work. My only critique is that I would have liked to have had climatic ending drawn out just a little longer, which in itself isn't necessarily a bad thing. It could just be that I was so immersed in the world Mr. Pizzolato created that I didn't want the story to end. In the end, for Quaid, sometimes getting what you need has to wait until you realize you truly want it. I look forward to reading more and following Wesley Quaid's journey. I wish this author all success. I'm in desperate need of a pecan pie now.

New Author To Me, Great Western

Can an outlaw change his spots? The man called Wesley Quaid wants to and has a plan. it calls for one last job and he rides into Leesville with that in mind. Get a straight job, worm his way into the town's confidence, then rob the bank, finally finding a place to settle down where no one knows him.

But life gets in the way.

In the form of those beautiful brown eyes. Coleen's her name and she works at the bank. He's a deputy everyone is starting to respect. There's also the cocksure so of the wealthy rancher who fancies himself a gunman. Normally Wes would just kill him outright. But he had to maintyain hat fiction of honesty.

Or was it fiction anymore?

The kid still kept coming at him and it was getting harder to avoid killing him. Until he made one unpardonable sin.

A fine western that kept me guessing how it might end.

Captivating

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 20, 2013

Wesley Quaid rides into a Kansas town looking for a respectable job as a cover for his plan to rob the bank. Deputy to the local lawman seems tailor-made to camouflage Quaid's agenda...until he falls for the lawman's niece.

Quaid grabs readers in the first sentence of this novella and never lets them go. The more-often-than-not-witty ladies man captures every upstanding citizen in town without even trying. He's equally adept at lassoing readers.

Simply put, the story is fun and wholly engaging. Readers' suspicions about the outcome will change multiple times as Quaid wrestles with his conscience and conflicting desires. Can a man escape his past, or was the past merely a rehearsal for destiny?

Don't let my 4 star review fool you, It's very hard to get a 5 out of me, but if there was ever a book that almost got a 5 it was Matthew Pizzolato's Outlaw.
Even though I love western's I generally don't read them, I like to watch them or listen to them becasue I like to feel and hear the story. I would read another book by this author and I'm sure I will.
One thing that I enjoyed was I thrive on trying to figure out how the story ends, I was surprised at the end of this story.

A pretty good western. Holds your attention start to finish. You can't help but like the main corrector even though he is the outlaw. Can't put it down tell the end.

A Slightly Twisted Western

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2013

When I started with this book I was afraid it was going to be a bit cliche. The writing was good but the adventures befalling our hero seemed a bit pat. As the book continued, though, the twists started to happen and I really enjoyed the ending, which I did not suspect until very near the end.

Entertaining Page Turner

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 18, 2012

Outlaw is the story of Wesley Quaid, a wanted man with a plan to pull off one last heist and retire on the money. He arrives in a new town and finds employment in an unexpected area while he plots to rob the town's bank.

I picked this up and couldn't put it down 'til it was done. It's a fast paced page turner and you will find yourself rooting for the outlaw right from the beginning. I couldn't help but smile when he was offered that job at the start. Knew it was gonna be gold from there on. I would never have thought of reading a western genre book before but since this was quite short I gave it a try and I'm really glad I did.

Outlaw is an entertaining action packed read. I was left thirsting for more and will definitely be checking out Pizzolato's other stories.

I loved the anti-hero Wesley Quaid and his aim to rob a bank. The pace, fast and action, packed didn't flag and kept me turning the pages to find out what happened next.
I would have liked a longer story with the characters developed - I'd like to know more about Colleen the love interest and what is Sabrina's back story? Why I've got the urge to write it myself! lol!
