seriously romantic: the sweetheart kiss by cheryl ann smith

the brash & brazen detective agency is in the thick of things again, this time in the sweetheart kiss when p.i. jess lucas witnesses a shooting at a friend's wedding. when sam wheeler is assigned as lead on the case, she's annoyed to realize that they're going to have to play nice and collaborate. sam respects the brazen p.i.s, but he doesn't love how they end up in the middle of his cases.

but when it becomes clear that jess is an actual target, sam insists that she stay close to him. partly because she did just lose her home to a fire set deliberately, but also because he doesn't trust anyone else to keep her safe. and suddenly she's not just invading his home. she's invading his thoughts. she's invading his bed. and the kicker is, he wants her there.

sam and jess are perfect partners, they've got the patter of snappy banter that add flirty fun to all the sexual tension and they are also kickass investigators who actually respect one another's skills. it's refreshing to see these two characters end up in a relationship so seamlessly. whether they are working or playing the one thing that is clear is that they belong together. crazy things happen around them and neither of them ever really loses their cool.

in fact, the one time sam does lose his cool, is when he realizes that this could be something more. and he goes out of his way to prove to everyone that it is not. but he's just fooling himself. when jess fell into his life, it's clear that it is for keeps, and the journey it takes to get them there is worth reading. especially if you've enjoyed this series.

**the sweetheart kiss will publish on may 9. 2017. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/kensington books (lyrical shine) 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.
