REVIEW - West of Want (Hearts of the Anemoi #2) by Laura Kaye

The Book
Release Date: 10 July 2012
Goodreads Link

Betrayal is all he's ever known, but in her, he'll find a love strong enough to be trusted... 

When Marcella Raines' twin brother dies, she honors his request to be buried at sea, never expecting the violent storm that swamps her boat. Though she's gravely injured--and still emotionally damaged from her recent divorce--Ella fights to survive.

Zephyros Martius is the Supreme God of the West Wind and Spring, but being the strongest Anemoi hasn't protected him from betrayal and loss. Worse, he's sure his brother Eurus is behind it. When Zeph's heartbreak whips up a storm that shipwrecks a human, his guilt forces him to save her.

Ella is drawn to the vulnerability Zeph hides beneath his otherworldly masculinity and ancient blue eyes. And her honesty, empathy, and unique, calming influence leave Zeph wanting...everything. When Eurus threatens Ella, she and Zeph struggle to let go of the past, defend their future, and embrace what they most want--a love that can be trusted.

My Review  4 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing, LLC,  for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This is a fairly quick read once you get into it, however life got in my way so i had to put in down for a while which vexed me greatly.

Zeph is a character who shoulders his burdens and does not trust as easily as he once did, not has been burned a few too many times and had his heart broken.  His brother Eurus is also a nasty character for sure.

Marcella (Ella) is the last of her family and is coping after the death of her twin brother.  Meeting Zeph after he has a fit of temper creating a storm changes both of their lives.  Both feel attracted to each other, but as both have been burned before, they are struggling with their trust issues and honesty is very important.

We get to see a little of Owen Winters in this book and we get to see a few more of Zephs brothers and their father.

I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading book three.
