seriously romantic: stroke of midnight by andie j. christopher

in stroke of midnight we meet the hernandez family, alana the eldest daughter is the responsible, dependable one. she's been picking up the slack for everyone else in the family, especially her older brother, javier, who has fallen to pieces since his acrimonious divorce. on the other hand, her flighty sister, carla, is determined to make sure alana has a little fun. it's new year's eve and it time to let go.

to get her sister off her back, alana agrees to go out. when she jokes to her sister that she hopes to pick up a stranger for one night of hot sex, she never imagines that her words would prove prophetic. but when she meets cole roberts the attraction is instantaneous and neither can resist the pull. cole has recently broken up with his long-time love so the last thing he wants is a relationship. a one night stand with a smoking hot chick sounds perfect to him.

and then things get complicated, obviously because this is a romance. it turns out that his hot chick is his buddy's little sister. and since he's in town visiting javier specifically, his path is going to cross alana's more than once, and the pull between them only grows making this one night stand veer into relationship territory awfully fast.

even though things move pretty quickly between the two leads, their chemistry is pretty amazing, so you buy it. this is an excellent escapist way to ring in the new year.

simply catching up on all things general hospital

[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
