seriously romantic: resort to love by priscilla oliveras

it's no secret that i love pretty much everything priscilla oliveras writes. mainly because i love, love, love how fully her heroines embrace their puerto rican culture. the sense of familia is something i adore. and the why it matters is something that's part of my dna, and i love reading about characters who get that.

in resort to love sofia vargas has a plan, she just doesn't expect to confront her past when trying to make her future dreams come true. nate hamilton has always been it for her. but his own family ties had a hold on him. and sofia would never ask him to cast those aside for her, even if she just wanted to be his first choice. and when she realized this, she cut him out of her life.

but nate is in town, and could possibly be the obstacle that destroys her plans for the future. in nate's defense, he's got his reasons for not making the leap for sofia when he had the chance before. she'd always gone about protecting her heart in a way that made him think she didn't feel their connection as deeply as he did. but he knows he didn't fight hard enough for them. neither of them took risks.

now that he has a chance, nate isn't going to let go so easily. even though he's going to have to work hard for sofia to believe in the fact that he is truly putting her first. honestly, he does a pretty amazing job. as these two realize that by denying the true depth of their feelings for each other, they'd been failing to truly give their relationship a chance, it's clear that they need to make the jump and admit how they feel for each other.

and it's all very swoonworthy and takes place pretty close to paradise, not puerto rico, but close enough.

    I sincerely appreciate you sharing your thoughts on Resort to Love, Eva! It means a lot to hear that you're able to connect with my Latina heroines as much as I do!

    Writing Nate & Sofía's love story was such a treat. I relished getting inside Nate's head as he struggled with how to convince Sofía that she could trust him again. As for Sof, I admire her strength and determination...traits it's not always easy to find within myself.

    Muchísimas gracias for the honest review, and here's to us having a chance to share an authentic Puerto Rican meal some time down the road!

    ¡Boricua, pa' que tu lo sepas! ;-)

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...

simply a preview of the forbidden by jodi ellen malpas

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.
