ParanormalRomance Reviews: Charlotte Boyett-Compo, In The Winds Eye Review

With the war finally over, the Union Army releases prisoner Confederate soldier Captain Rory Sinclair McGregor. After two years in a hostile prison with substandard conditions, Sinclair feels his nightmare is over. He returns to his hometown Savannah only to realize that his real nightmare has just begun. Sinclair's fiancee Ivonne Bouchard married his bitterest enemy Edward Delacroix who also bought the family mansion WindLass during a back tax sale. His grandmother feels Sinclair shames the family heritage and plots his death because he is unable to regain the mansion. Still scarred from his incarceration, Sinclair feels deepening depression with no hope for the present let alone the future.

IN THE WIND'S EYE is an exciting Reconstruction Era romance that may seem to follow the rules of the sub-genre, but actually is extremely complex and filled with twists. The story line is exciting, yet very dark as it brings to life the aftermath of the Civil War on the losers. Anyone who takes pleasure from a story about that period will find the deep layers of Charlotte Boyett-Compro's skills turn her plot into a triumphant complex historical fiction.

Note: Even though this is not a paranormal, it has some of the best writing I have ever seen. I predict this author will make it big time in the near future.
