Because I have been a pretty rabid fan of this series I thought it might help potential readers to get a review of the bundle that includes pieces of my reviews for all three of the titles included in it. If you want to read the full reviews you can visit my blog, check out my Amazon profile for the link (or just find them under each book's page).NORTH OF NEED -- I am a slow reader in spite of my status as a reviewer so it says something when I finish a book in one evening. Megan is a compassionate, struggling heroine you will ache to see happy and Owen a hero who will warm your heart with his enthusiastic, loving spirit. Kaye manages to take a concept that could be very cheesy and blend it with strong emotional content, a fascinating mythology, and just enough action and physical intimacy to make the story flow perfectly. It isn't just any book that has tears sliding down my cheeks before the first chapter is finished. Looking for something a little steamy to warm the cold winter nights? Passionate, truly sensual love scenes pepper this novel in just the right places.WEST OF WANT -- With WOW the world of the Anemoi is cracked wide open within a few chapters. It serves well to provide the conflict for Zeph and Ella, while introducing future heroes and insight into just how the Anemoi factor into the modern world. Eurus is one heck of a villain, he literally made my skin crawl. As a hero, Zeph is a little tough to love but he is utterly relatable if you've ever had your heart broken. His flaws are the very human trust issues one would expect from a man who's gone through what he has. Ella, on the other hand, is the perfect foil for Zeph. She's quick to trust and her indomitable spirit is endearing. Though their chemistry is mostly shown through their scintillating love scenes, I found their pairing enjoyable.SOUTH OF SURRENDER -- SOS is very much a pivot-point for the series arc but Kaye pulls it off without losing the romantic storyline. What really makes SOUTH OF SURRENDER a stand-out for fans of the big names in the paranormal romance genre is how well it carries a strong series plot thread while bringing Laney and Chrys to a HEA. If you're fond of paranormal families or brotherhoods you will love this series, but especially this particular book. Emotionally charged and action-packed, SOS, is a must-read. With Kaye's steamy scenes that scorch the page, refreshingly balanced adaptation of the mythological world, and wonderful characterization this is one book you should not miss. It sets up for EAST OF ECSTASY with some pretty big events and will leave you breathless in anticipation.Note: Original copies were given to me for review.
