Beaudry's Ghost

I found Beaudry's Ghost to be a fun read and I loved it. I love the author's descriptive way of writing. Rather than taking the word of a loquacious, garrulous "critic?" who attacks other reviewers, form your own opinion.

BEAUDRY'S GHOST is one of the most well thought out romances I've read in a long time. In some ways, it doesn't even read like a romance, though it is so fascinating I barely noticed. Set in modern times, BEAUDRY'S GHOST is the story of a Civil War reenactment gone bad when ghosts of soldiers past possess living men to once again commit the heinous murder of captured Union soldier Jared Beaudry. This time, however, Jared intends to die with his honor intact so he can rest in peace rather than haunt the Southern coast as a headless, limbless ghost. Jared also has a heroine to help him, a girl named Taylor who has her own ghosts to face as she battles Jared's captors. Jared and Taylor are likable, sympathetic lead characters, and the plot is fast-paced and engrossing (not to mention bursting with Civil War history). I could barely make myself put the book down. The ending is satisfying and plausible, and rather exciting as it leaves room for a sequel. I highly recommend BEAUDRY'S GHOST as an enjoyable, vastly entertaining read. If you are looking for a good romantic ghost story, this is it! PS. You can buy an electronic version at LTDBooks.com.
