West of Want

*AN RT MAGAZINE FAVORITE RETURNING PARANORMAL SERIES!

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.

Review5 Stars & a RARE TOP PICK from Night Owl Reviews: “The two main characters Ella and Zeph were so down to earth that it was impossible not to like them. The fact that Owen from North of Need played a minor role in the events that took place in West of Want was an added bonus….kept me guessing as to what he would do next. The pace of West of Want was absolutely perfect and incredibly easy to follow.”

5 Flowers & Site's 1st 5-flower review of 2012 from Urban Girl Reader!: «As long as you like your sex hot, you'll be very happy with this book….Laura had me so tightly gripped into the story….If you haven't read North By Need, you will want to catch up on this great series…and pick up a copy of West of Want!»

5 Hearts from Sizzling Hot Book Reviews!: «It's a crazy passionate love story that will keep you up until the wee hours of the morning just so you can read that final page. Readers will definitely not be disappointed; West of Want is absolutely fantastic.”

5 Stars from A Bookworm's Haven: «West of Want is a wonderful escape into an enchanted world that I loved being a part of. Laura delivers a heartfelt romance with a touch of magic that had me captivated from beginning to end.”

4.5 Stars and a “Must Read” from GraveTells!: «West of Want had some serious heart…Laura Kaye either has a giant stash of super secret sauce or is simply a master at her craft, because just about every book I've read from her to-date has been a homerun, the Hearts of the Anemoi stories especially so.”

Praise for Hearts of Anemoi

Four stars for North of Need. “This is a fascinating, magical tale of the way our loved ones can watch over us after they're gone. An interesting group of gods and their subjects are introduced. The ending is a delight.”
– Susan Mobley, RT Book Reviews
Four stars for West of Want. “West of Want brings the human heartache of love and betrayal to epic heights in this turbulent tale of the West Wind and the mortal he falls hard for. The tempest of emotion swirling around the characters is surreal, intense and sensual — in short, exactly what a romance of the gods should be.” 
Abigail Ortlieb, RT Book Reviews
«Using ancient winter mythology as an allegory for grief, Kaye has written a sexy story that packs a powerful emotional punch. With a heroine you can root for and a hero who is a dream come true, NORTH OF NEED is pure winter magic and Kaye's sparkling talent warms the heart.”
– Stephanie Draven, author of the MYTHICA series
