seriously romantic: lured in by laura drewry

i can't stop myself from staring at the cover of this novel, because i just keep thinking that the two models must be so uncomfortable. luckily nothing as awkward as that seems to happen in the novel, though finn and jessie both are plenty uncomfortable in their own skin when they realize they have feelings for each other.

the latest novel in the fishing for trouble series, lured in, deals with best friends finn o'donnell and jessie todd. they've known each other since they were seventeen. but the trauma of their childhood has meant that they weren't able to face the truth of their feelings for each other until now. there had always been a connection between them, a shared hurt that no one else could ever understand. but because the o'donnells don't talk about shit, everything was buried until jessie decides that it is time to face her fear of the water.

and there is only one person she trusts to help her deal with that fear. finn is beyond honored to be the person jessie trusts to help her through her phobia, he is also the best person for the job because he understands her the way no one else does. at the same time his feelings for her have been harder and harder to hold back. but his distrust of women runs so deep that it's unclear that he will ever have enough faith to believe that things can work out.

lured in is pretty emotional at times, both finn and jessie have a lot of stuff to work through. but when they get together you can feel how much they love each other from the first moment. even when they can't admit it to each other, there is so much love between them. so of course it all works out in the end. and now the only o'donnell left with a story to tell is ronan. and something tells me his will probably be a doozy.

**lured in will publish on september 27, 2016. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/random house publishing - loveswept in exchange for my honest review.

simply catching up on all things general hospital

hmmm, it's been months since i've blogged about gh . partly this is due to the fact that i fell behind while i was traveling. partly because all the outrage lapsed into disinterest when i realized i couldn't bring myself to care anymore and everything that was happening was just so trite and boring. some days i still feel that way. and there are still whole storylines that i either hate or just fast forward through. but there are some good things too. in no particular order, here are my thoughts on the goings-on in port charles: 1. soras [and why re-casting roles works on soaps even if you do miss the original actors]: the new, older versions of sonny's kids are turning out to be quite enjoyable. [although hilariously, cameron whom i believe is older than molly is now younger. and because cameron is so cute, i'm kind of hoping they won't fix that. we also haven't seen spencer in ages, so he may be approaching 50.] in any case, at this point we've only s

genre debate: urban fantasy versus epic fantasy: team epic gets their say

Team Epic: Why I Love Epic Fantasy! Since it's my blog, I'll go first: Epic fantasies take you on quests that take you beyond the limits of what is real. The rules can be different, they are different, and everything just matters more. It's not just one life at stake, it's lives, it's a whole world, a whole way of being. Epic fantasies force you to use your imagination and take you on an adventure to places you never thought possible, but as different as everything feels, there are still things that are always real, no matter how you write it. Keep reading to see what a handful of Entangled TEEN authors think about epic fantasies: Erica Cameron - Island of Exiles (The Ryogan Chronicles, #1): Why do I love epic fantasy? It's a blank slate. We can erase all of our preconceived notions of society and law and even science, throwing all of that over the side of a cliff. Epic fantasy lets us push humanity well past the breaking point with ever
