Today's author we are featuring is Laura Kaye. I have not had the pleasure of meeting Laura yet. I saw her at NJRWA, but I was feeling like a bus ran over me so I did not approach. I had a hard enough time not vomiting on Mary Burton, lol. I thought I had a hangover, I had a concussion...... I have chatted with Laura on FB. Her books caught my eye, and there went my TBR pile. So when I was doing this contest, I asked for her to come on over. She so graciously said yes.
North of Need
Hearts of the Anemoi, Book One
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.
This book is Fantasy Romance and described as "a sexy story that packs a powerful punch". The series is as follows.....

Yay I won. Thanks! I'm really enjoying this site and getting introduced to authors new to me. My plan for this year is to enjoy life now and not wait for the infamous "someday", and spend more time with my folks.
ReplyDeleteI hope to be more organized, work out, spend time with my family and friends.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I want to achieve is to lose some weight I am going try to NO i am going to lose at least 2 stones. and get walking again I used to walk 5 sometimes 10 miles on a weekend I need to get back fit.
ReplyDeleteI want to lose more weight. I've already lost 50 pounds and need to lose 30 more. I'm going to Mexico in May, so that's a great incentive. The truth is that I really do feel so much better. Since I got an iPad for Christmas, I want to catch up on my reading.
ReplyDeleteThis year I would like to take better care of myself. I need to eat healthy foods, exercise more & stop drinking so much cappuccino & Dr. Pepper. And I want to try new authors. Laura Kaye will be on my authors to try list. NORTH OF NEED sounds good & I love the cover!
ReplyDeleteI hope to learn to stick to a budget (except for books), become debt free and help my credit rating. I also plan on spending more time with family and friends.
ReplyDeleteI just finished my first Laura Kaye book a couple of weeks ago, and am anxious to try another! This book sounds great!
ReplyDeleteMy New Year resolution is usually to not make New Year resolution, BUT I really do need to get back in shape and get better organized. ;-)
Enjoy life to the fullest. The rest is secondary.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura! Owen sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteI hope to practice better sleep habits in the coming year. No more staying up until 2AM trying to beat Angela in word games. But if I'm into a good book, then that's allowed. ;)

Hi Laura, what an eyecatching cover. My plans for the next year is to loose the 20 pound I already lost and got back due some medicine that I have to take, and to finish my first story.
ReplyDeleteThis series sounds very interesting, I will have to try it. For the new year, I also would like to practice better sleep habits because Jodi keeps me up till all hours playing games. Seriously, count my blessings and to enjoy life more.
ReplyDeletei hope to survive the rest of this year with my sanity and to find a new place next year...

ReplyDeleteThis is the year I chose to really get in shape...physically, mentally and spititually. My birthday is tomorrow and I turn 49. I want to be in better shape one year form tomorrow than I've ever been. I read a lot Laura, and I will add you to my TBR list. I'm guessing that will help me reach my goal this year of getting in shape "mentally!" RIGHT?
