seriously romantic: a devil in scotland by suzanne enoch

in a devil in scotland, callum macreath never thought he'd lose rebecca to his brother. she was his best friend. the only woman he could ever imagine loving. and when she not only confirms her engagement, but also repudiates callum for the wild and irresponsible boy he is, he is devastated. when his brother casts him out when callum's anger leaves him no option, he leaves his highland home and heads to america.

ten years later he is a self-made man in the kentucky hills. he's cut himself off entirely from his past life in the highlands. but when a headline reveals that his brother is dead, and he is the next in line for the earldom, he has no choice but to head home.

it's not a warm and pleasant homecoming. callum distrusts everyone. he knows his brother was murdered. and he's just not sure that rebecca wasn't in on it. he's still hurt and angry from the words they exchanged ten years ago. but when he meets his niece, his heart cracks open. and everything changes.

and the more he comes back to his old life, the more his outer resolve weakens. he can't count on everyone being an enemy. and maybe if he counts them as friends, he will finally have everything. he'll have a chance for justice. he'll have the love he thought he'd left behind. he'll have someone to love and protect and cherish.

there is something to be said for having the chance to grow up. if rebecca hadn't cast him aside all those years ago, callum might not be the man he becomes. their past marks them, and even though there is a lot of time lost, it was time they both needed to become the people that they end up being.

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.

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
