seriously romantic: what the earl needs now by michelle willingham

what the earl needs now picks up after good earls don't lie left off. the love of lily thornton's life has returned, but instead of claiming her as his wife, matthew larkspur, the earl of arnsbury, is out of his mind with trauma from the terrible torture he endured while he was in india.

matthew isn't the man lily remembers from two years ago. he barely remembers loving her. and he is in no condition to keep promises made before everything changed.

it’s hard for lily to accept that the matthew she loved is gone. she refuses to believe it, until she catches him in a weak moment and he snaps. and it’s then, when she realizes that he doesn’t even see her, that she accepts that the matthew who has returned from india is a fundamentally altered man.

so they can’t pick up where they left off, but perhaps what they really need is to start over. and it’s not an easy thing to do, to let go of what you thought was known and certain, and see where these new paths may take you. but to find the happiness that only they can unlock in one another, matthew and lily need to start at the beginning. with no guarantees, except maybe the fact that they both want the happily ever after outcome.

this is a true second chance at love romance, but one thing i liked is that the characters aren’t separated because of some huge misunderstanding or assumptions about the other person. life gets in the way of matthew and lily’s relationship, but love is always there. they just need to relearn how to trust 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

genre debate: urban fantasy versus epic fantasy: team epic gets their say
