North of Need

Book One: Hearts of the Anemoi
Laura Kaye
Entangled Publishing

From the publisher:
Her tears called a powerful snow god to life, but only her love can grant the humanity he craves...

Desperate to escape agonizing memories of Christmas past, twenty-nine-year-old widow Megan Snow builds a snow family outside the mountain cabin she once shared with her husband, realizing too late that she's recreated the very thing she'll never have.

Called to life by 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. But this Christmas 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.

IMO:
I loved this story. My heart broke for Megan.  She was an endearing character devastated by the loss of her husband. Then by love and magic Owen arrived.  He was a sweet man, who  had experienced a devastating blow from his last love.  The two were a perfect foil for each other. There story just made more enchanting by the fact that it was her husband's wish for her happiness that brought the two of them together.  I liked the them of love as forever and redeeming that flowed with the story. John's love for Megan, Owen's love for Megan and Megan's love for both of them.
I can't wait for the next three stories on the series to be released.
