seriously romantic: the last king by katee robert

katee robert kicks off a new series set in texas, where instead of boston mobsters, in the last king you've got texas oilmen (and women) facing off. the king family is fractured. and it all began when lydia king was cast aside by her father in favor of her brother. she's built a rival business, but she still wants morningstar. and she will do anything and everything to get it.

beckett king has just lost his father. losing his family home is a cut too deep. everything about this is wrong. and he knows that lydia is somehow behind this. even worse, he knows that lydia knows that he feels more than he's willing to admit for her sexy employee samara mallick.

samara has had to fight and scrap her way to the top. there were no silver spoons. she doesn't have the power and leverage that the king family name provides. her loyalty should belong to lydia. but the longer she's in the middle, the more she sees that all is not right with her boss. when the danger gets too close to him, she realizes that there are more important things than her career. and that if she gives beckett a real chance, he might surprise her. and he might also help leverage her to greater heights.

we'll see more of the king family in future books, and seeing how these family dynamics play out and settle down while trying to avoid the toxicity of previous generations taints will most certainly be entertaining.

**the last king 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.

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

By
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...

By
Releasing on August 8, 2017, read on for more information about The Forbidden , including an excerpt and giveaway! Synopsis What do you do when you can't control your feelings for someone? 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. Until a night out with friends brings her face to face with the wickedly sexy and mysterious Jack. It's not just a spark that ignites between them. It's an explosion. 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. She is certain that a man who's had such a powerful impact on her and who could bend her to his will so easily, must be dangerous. But she's already in too deep. And Jack isn't only dangerous. He is forbidden.
