REVIEW - North of Need (Hearts of the Anemoi #1) by Laura Kaye

The Book
Release Date: 1 November 2011
Goodreads Link

While attempting to escape the agonizing memories she associates with Christmas, twenty-nine-year-old widow Megan Snow builds a snow family outside the mountain cabin she once shared with her husband-and collapses in tears against the snowman at the sight of what she'll never have. Called to life by the power of Megan's tears, snow god Owen Winters appears unconscious on her doorstep in the midst of a raging blizzard. As she nurses him to health, Owen finds unexpected solace in her company and unimagined pleasure in the warmth of her body, and vows to win her heart for a chance at humanity. Megan is drawn to Owen's mismatched eyes, otherworldly masculinity, and enthusiasm for the littlest things, and her heart opens enough to believe he's a Christmas miracle. But this miracle comes with an expiration-before the snow melts and the temperature rises, Megan must let go of her widow's grief and learn to trust love again, or she'll lose Owen forever.

My Review  4 STARS
This seemed a quick read, and happens over the festive period of about a week.

Megan Snow is at the lodge she used to spend with her husband who died two years ago and is still having a problem with her grief.  After making a snow family and crying out on the snowman, Owen, Winters, the North Wind appears later after having agreed to help her as her husband is a very watered down relative.

Both have an immediate connection and he helps her not only get over her grief, but move on with him and she takes the truth of his powers very well.

We get so see another paranormal, who is like a father to Owen and we also get a suitably happy ending and a good prologue.

I look forward to reading the rest of this series.
