seriously romantic: the bastard's bargain by katee robert

i saw arcs were out on twitter and literally ran to netgalley in order to get my hands on this book. i came in to the o’malley series late, book 4 was the first glimpse i had of this family. and keira and dmitri’s story has been percolating since at least then. i’ve been dying for more of them.

to be honest, i found them to be the most compelling thing about aiden and charlie’s story, and i was hoping that when they finally had a chance to shine in the bastard’s bargain that i wouldn’t be disappointed. and i’m not.

keira and dmitri are everything. what develops between them is raw and carnal and wanton. the way they need each other and the way they connect is beyond sexy. it’s something deep and dark and heartbreakingly beautiful.

gorgeous broken keira means more to dmitri than he’s willing to admit at first. he can’t bear to see her destroy herself, so he will save her even as she fights him on it. she’s so tired of being a pawn, caged in by people claiming to protect her without seeing how they are carving away at her soul. dmitri sees too much. and still she wants him. but she’s going to fight it till the bitter end.

the thing is when she finally listens to dmitri it turns out that he is actually offering her everything. if she is his, then he is hers. and giving her back that power, it changes their world. because together keira and dmitri are unstoppable. and i loved every second of their story. it was literally perfect. in fact, i think i'm just going to go re-read it. possibly over and over again.

**the bastard’s bargain will publish on february 6, 2018. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley’grand central publishing (forever) in exchange for my review.

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.

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