  This book is number five in the Western Wind series. However, this book would be fine as a standalone book. I actually read this book after book six and I had no trouble understanding anything. The books are not primarily sequenced chronologically, and the author tells the story of each reaper up to a certain point in time.
  
  This installment of the Reaper series is about reaper Bevyn Coure. Bevyn is a handsome guy that becomes a reaper in one of the most gruesome ways I've read. He's sensitive, strong, loyal, and tormented by his past. Bevyn stumbles into town and finds himself drawn to Lea Walsh. I really didn't like Lea. She was just didn't seem to fit Bevyn's personality. She despised the very thing that made him the man she came to love. She was illogical, high strung, and whenever Bevyn wasn't jumping through her hoops she nagged constantly. I loved the other background characters surrounding Bevyn and Lea's story.
  
  The storyline of the reapers and their dramatic storylines filled with elements of comedy, adventure, and suspense continue to draw me in and make me crave my next dose. This story as were the others moved quickly and Boyett-Compo is an expert at melding the past with the future seamlessly. I didn't get lost along the way, and the author easily drew parallels between Bevyn's past experiences and his present life experiences. I was totally vested in the characters, and I was so afraid that Bevyn was going to be killed. I only wish that Lea would have been written out of the storyline. The steam level was off the charts. Bevyn certainly was a reaper that knew his way around a woman's body.
  
  Charlotte Boyett-Compo has done it again. This book is a great ride.

  Bevyn Coure doesn’t need a woman because they are nothing but trouble for his kind until he comes up against the one woman he can’t resist in this exciting Western Wind romance.
  
  Lea Walsh was minding her own business when the handsome Reaper demanded she accompany him to his room and the reader can’t help but get drawn into the story as Lea and Bevyn discover that their life will never be the same. The attraction sizzles, the sex scenes are scorching and the romance is sweet but of course with any and all relationships there is a few bumps and bruises, especially when you add in the past and insecurities which causes quite a bit of emotional turmoil. These strong captivating characters demand your attention from the very beginning while the fast paced, smooth flowing plot keeps readers on the edge with lots of suspense, excitement and romance.
  
  Tension and excitement builds throughout the story as not only are rogue’s causing trouble but Amazeen’s have come calling and their target is Bevyn and to spice it up even more one of the Amazeens is causing a bit of trouble between Bevyn and Lea while train robbers cause their own brand of excitement. Well written scenes and details capture the imagination and make it easy for the readers to picture each and every scene while the intriguing events and romance draw the reader in and refuse to let go.
  
  Bevyn and Lea’s story is non-stop excitement with lots of passion, humor and romance and I thoroughly enjoyed finally learning Bevyn’s story so I was completely ensnared by it from the very beginning and I can’t wait to read the next one.

  Bevyn has seen many dark things that would haunt most normal humans forever. While it really is a good thing he is not an ordinary person, sometimes it just weighs upon his soul. And really, the sense of loneliness surrounding Bevyn Coure has gotten so thick, it has become overwhelmingly depressing...

  This was book 5 in the Westernwind series. I love the series and this book, but it seemed incredibly out of place. All the events happen before book 1 of the series, Wyndriver Sinner. I wish someone would've told me to read this one first and Wyndriver Sinner second because it just makes way more sense chronologically and in the order information about the characters is given. Even so, I enjoyed the book.
  
  Synopsis:
  Reaper Bevyn Coure had never wanted a companion of his own. He didn't need a woman because they complicated things. For one of his kind, women were trouble and that was trouble he had no intention of taking upon himself. But after the death of a friend, in a low moment in a seedy bar, in a town smack dab in the middle of nowhere, Coure came up against the one woman he could not resist.
  
  Lea Walsh had been minding her own business, sweeping the floor of the bar, trying to ignore the handsome man whose deadly eyes were staring at her from the mirror behind the bar, whose strong hands cupping the whiskey glass made her body clench. When he demanded she accompany him to his room, she knew her life would never be the same.
  
  *Reader Advisory: While this story is a standalone, it is recommended the WesternWind books be read in order for better reader enjoyment and understanding.

  I loved Bevyn, but Lea...not so much. I've really wanted to read Bevyn's story since I started the series. Lea however, didn't seem as willing to accept all of him as I had hoped! Still gave it 5 stars, because I love the series, but not as good as the rest.
