seriously romantic: the real duet by meghan march

i was so excited when the real duet released, i know i posted about both books on release day. i actually read them a while back, but i was booked solid with other recaps and reviews, so this is the first chance i've had to tell you how much i loved banner and logan.

and i was so relieved too. i really disliked the dirty girl duet. like the more i think about cav the less i like him, and the less i like those two books. but there's a scene in dirty love, where you know that banner and logan are totally getting it on, and it's such a relief from the other drama happening in the book at the time--honestly it's only because it happens so close to the end is why i didn't just start reading real good man. because it is such a pleasure to finally see what was happening that lead to that awkward moment in the hallway in dirty love.

banner regent is such a fun character, her outlook on life is sunnier, her live in the moment, no-holds barred attitude towards life is such a joy after having been stuck with greer for two novels. (i'm sorry i can't help myself, i really disliked those two books, it's really a shame.)  and one thing i appreciate about logan brantley is that while he is a total alpha he is not a jackass, and doesn't just assume that banner needs to be told what to do. he really is open to her making her own choices. these two characters are actually perfectly suited to one another.


from the moment they begin their relationship via text messages you know that they are well-i think my biggest criticism of the two novels is that 1) there is no reason for this to be a two-novel set other than business because there simply isn't enough plot to justify two novels and 2) the cliffhanger is barely a cliffhanger and resolves itself like two pages into the second novel.
matched. and really their story is just a question of sorting out the obstacles in their way. because the reality is that no matter what they are saying on the page, these two are not letting each other go. no one else can make them laugh or burn with passion the way they do for each other.

but it's doesn't matter, because i enjoyed spending time with these two characters regardless. so their story was light and funny and sexy. it was an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. i gobbled the two novels up super quickly and they put a smile on my face. so all-around, that's a win.

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
