seriously romantic: the bride next door by hope ramsay

the extended lyndon family and assorted other residents of last chance, are still looking and finding love in the bride next door. matt lyndon has a playboy reputation, even if he actually started out as less than smooth with the ladies. courtney knows that matt is a player and based on her male classification system this means that he's not worth the effort.

when matt and courtney are actually spending time together and she puts down her walls, there's a lot to enjoy about their relationship. the problem is that there is so much baggage that poot matt is carrying around, everyone makes these terrible assumptions about his character. it's really bad. i spent most of the book feeling sorry for matt and hoping he could escape back to d.c. away from his horrible family. and even courtney at times. because she's a super jerk to him too a lot of the itme.

the only other characters worth spending any time with were arwen and rory. and maybe the hints of ryan and joni. but i kind of hate the lyndons, and have no way of keeping them all straight.

**the bride next door will publish on april 3, 2018. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/grand central publishing (forever) in exchange for my honest review.

simply catching up on all things general hospital

[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. Keep reading to see what a handful of Entangled TEEN authors think about epic fantasies: Erica Cameron - Island of Exiles (The Ryogan Chronicles, #1): Why do I love epic fantasy? It's a blank slate. We can erase all of our preconceived notions of society and law and even science, throwing all of that over the side of a cliff. Epic fantasy lets us push humanity well past the breaking point with ever...

When you know you shouldn't go there? Not even in your head. Annie has never experienced the 'spark' with a guy-the kind of instant chemistry that steals your breath and blindsides you completely.

Jack promises to consume Annie, and he fully delivers on that promise. Overwhelmed by the intensity of their one night together, Annie slips out of their hotel room.
