seriously romantic: aces wild by emmy curtis

aces wild kicks off the elite ops series in thrilling style. the world's most elite military pilots are all in the nevada desert for a friendly, competition-style training mission. raf pilot dexter stone is just getting back into the swing of things after a horrific crash. he has to prove he is ready to fly into danger if he's going to reclaim his former role on his squad.

when he meets a mysterious and sexy stranger on the bus to the military base the red flag exercises are run out of, he realizes he may need to work on his game because he manages to be cocky and awkward and unintentionally amusing, which is kind of the opposite of what he was going for.

maj. eleanor daniels has plenty to prove at red flag, she's sick of living in her father's shadow and having to work twice as hard as her male peers. she knows that she has the skills to act as squad leader if given the chance. so the last thing she is looking for is a romantic connection, even with a sexy british pilot. they're on opposite sides for this training exercise and she doesn't need a cocky pilot distracting her.

but things get complicated quickly. for the first time, the private sector is involved in the training exercise and shady dealings seem to be happening on every corner. when eleanor overhears something she shouldn't have in her father's office she's suddenly targeted by goons that appear to be out to kill her.

while on a mission, her plane and dex's are sabotaged, and they are left out in the desert without water or supplies and must use all their training in order to keep going. even as dexter and eleanor's story comes to a close, there is so much going on at the base that you know there is more romance and suspense ahead in this series. i really enjoyed the chemistry between the leads and the mystery of what is happening on the base totally worked for me.

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 fantasy lets us push humanity well past the breaking point with ever
