seriously romantic: make me yours by rebecca brooks

the men of gold mountain series ends with make me yours, when single mom claire collins reconnects with ryan thomas, her former love and the father of her daughter maya. when claire left ryan he was in the throes of an addiction to alcohol that took him years to get a handle on. he had no memory of their final days together, no idea that she was carrying his baby, and that she had his baby girl.

back then leaving him was the right thing to do. but it doesn't mean that part of her regrets it. she knows she did the right thing for herself and for her daughter, maya. but seeing ryan again is screwing with her head. because it doesn't matter how much time has passed. he is still the one man that does it for her.

and when instead of chasing the music, he decides to stay put in gold mountain, it messes with her head even more. because she shouldn't let this man near her daughter, and yet, he's her father. and he isn't just saying he's better, he's going out of his way to prove it. but he's got a lot of baggage to make up for. and claire has every reason to be doubtful. and when it seems like he breaks every single one of his promises to her, she cuts him out completely. again.

but maybe this time it's not entirely fair? and maybe this time ryan will fight for her and for maya?

and maybe this time they'll end up with the happiness and the family they deserve? because i have to say that this is one of the best second-chance love stories i've read. the baggage these two characters have is deep and meaningful. claire has every reason to not trust ryan and he is honest about his failures. but he also works so hard to make things right. and not in an over the top grand gesture sort of way that rings false, he does it piece by piece, little by little and proves himself to be a better man than he was five years ago.

what a wonderful way to close out this series. i just loved it.

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
