seriously romantic: more than friends by jody holford

owen and gabby have been best friends and neighbors for a long time. ever since they both went through some painful breakups while recently moving into the same apartment building. owen comes from a crazy, loud family and all he wants is a quiet christmas. but when his little white lie that he didn't want to leave his new girlfriend alone over the holidays results in his entire family planning to spend christmas at his place he begs gabby to pretend to be his girl.

more than friends, that's exactly what gabby would like to be. but owen has never given the slightest indication that he even realizes she's a girl. she's his friend and she is so stuck in the zone. so she keeps hoping that by agreeing to this pretense, she'll get this aching want for him out of her system. maybe the forced proximity will reveal that they aren't perfect for each other.

except she isn't that lucky. or maybe she is? because while she is having a hard time resisting falling even more head over heels in love with owen, he is suddenly realizing that the girl across the hall is exactly what he wants in a woman, and he'd be a fool to keep their relationship a ruse.

but because they are lying, everything is complicated. neither of them can tell when the other is faking, mainly because neither of them are faking, but it's all so confusing. and when owen's loud, boisterous family shows up everything kind of blows up.

even worse, it blows up because while the relationship between owen and gabby is so very real, they keep lying to each other about stupid things. and these stupid lies reveal themselves in the worst sort of way. owen tries so hard to make things right, but he really messes up and hurts gabby incredibly. and even though it was entirely unintentional, he has to work pretty hard to win her back. which he does. just in time for the new year.

**more than friends will publish on december 5, 2016. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/entangled publishing (bliss) in exchange for my honest review.

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

By
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...

Releasing on August 8, 2017, read on for more information about The Forbidden , including an excerpt and giveaway! Synopsis What do you do when you can't control your feelings for someone? When you know you shouldn't go there? Not even in your head.  Annie has never experienced the 'spark' with a guy-the kind of instant chemistry that steals your breath and blindsides you completely. Until a night out with friends brings her face to face with the wickedly sexy and mysterious Jack. It's not just a spark that ignites between them. It's an explosion. Jack promises to consume Annie, and he fully delivers on that promise. Overwhelmed by the intensity of their one night together, Annie slips out of their hotel room. She is certain that a man who's had such a powerful impact on her and who could bend her to his will so easily, must be dangerous. But she's already in too deep. And Jack isn't only dangerous. He is forbidden.
