seriously romantic: the billionaire's unexpected baby by kira archer

when leah meets brooks in the billionaire's unexpected baby she's already four months pregnant with another man's baby. amazingly this is never really a problem for brooks. he never flinches or hesitates. when he tracks her down as she's moving into her new apartment and possibly losing her job due to her pregnancy, he impulsively offers to marry her.

so in the span of a month, he's married and on the path to fatherhood. it's supposed to be temporary. enough to buy leah some time to settle into her new job without the threat of being fired. but the time they spend together is real. the relationship they have together is real. and it's complicated by this baby that they both adore and the fact that the baby daddy is someone brooks knows and massively dislikes.

i really loved the first book in this series. and this is definitely a different take on the surprise baby trope. leah and brooks are both really great characters, their biggest problem is that neither of them actually says what they really want and they keep putting off important conversations that they should have well until it's too late and misunderstandings arise.

they both walk around with this sense of impending doom that ends up being self-fulfilling. the good news is that they eventually get their heads on straight. but some better communication could have cut off some of the unnecessary drama. i think the drama disappointed me in part because their situation is already so fraught. having another man's baby less than six months after getting married is already high drama. i'm still not sure how i feel about that particular plot point and i'm not brooks, who for all his momentary stupidity is like the most amazing guy.

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
