"A story of redemption and love!"

When we last left the Reapers and their women, they were all at the Citadel after defeating the Ceannus. After what he has gone through, Owen Tohre decides to leave, and the Shadowlords allow it. Now months later, Owen has been abusing his tenerse in an effort to get some sleep. He has not been doing much of anything in his territory, still trying to get over what was done to him. After taking Sustenance from his horse and managing to get on its back, Owen hears a child screaming and takes off. The child is drowning and Owen manages to save the boy's life before he passes out. When he comes to, he's restrained to a bunk and it turns out he's with a group Communalists, a very strict religious group, and no longer in his territory.

Since everyone knows no one will offer to marry her, even though her father is in charge of their community, Rachel is training to become a Healer and one of her duties is to nurse the Reaper. Unknown to her, the Goddess Morrigunia begins controlling Rachel to heal Her Reaper. Not able to control his actions, Owen ends up doing everything but taking Rachel's virginity, unaware of what will happen to her.

Meanwhile, turns out there are some nasty forms of vampires, Drochtairs, living in the area and the Shadowlords are sending two more Reapers to help Owen wipe them out.

Will Owen ever be over his tenerse abuse? Will Rachel help heal him? What will happen to Rachel when her father finds out what she has done with Owen? Will the Reapers be able to wipe out the Drochtairs? Will there be a happily ever after for Rachel and Owen?

TEARS OF THE REAPER WESTERN WIND BOOK 4 just proves a series can become better with each new story. Charlotte Boyett-Compo opens the world of the Reapers just a bit more with each new release in this series. The one thing I love about Charlotte Boyett-Compo's books is how she pulls us into the emotions of the characters. We experience what they're going through as we take the journey to true love with them. And while there's always pain and loss, there's also love. A love meant to be and one that will not be denied. And TEARS OF THE REAPER is no exception to this rule. We feel everything Owen goes through as he tries to save the Communalists, even though he hates them for what they have done to Rachel. This is one you just don't want to miss.

WesternWind, Book Four

Reaper Owen Tohre has looked into the blazing fires of hell and known its brutal flames. After his last assignment, he is not the man he once thought himself to be and the difference is eating away at his soul. His internal strife is tearing him apart and the only way he has found to handle it is by abusing the strong narcotic that keeps his beastly side in check.

Having left the Citadel for a while to come to terms with what happened to him, he finds himself riding close to the international border between the Wismin Territory of Serenia and the Manontaque Province of the Northmen Cadre when he hears a young boy screaming for help. Without thinking he goes to the boy's aid, but after saving the child, Tohre goes into a violent seizure that nearly claims his life.

Awakening in a strange bed, in a strange place populated by a strict cult of stern men and subservient women, Tohre will find himself reflected in the fearful lilac eyes of Rachel Lawrence. Realizing this woman is his destiny, Tohre will risk everything to make her his own.
