seriously romantic: be mine, sweetheart by codi gary

the something borrowed series continues with be mine, sweetheart, and it's business owner, kelly barrow's turn to find love. she'd found it once before, but her fiancé, ray, was killed in action and she didn't think she'd ever be ready to look for it again. but it's been ten years, and she's ready now. she's just not sure how her best friend, christian ryan is going to react. after all, ray was his best friend too.

but she doesn't expect him to keep interfering in her love life. she doesn't expect to keep thinking of him. she doesn't expect to see him differently than she ever did before. she didn't expect it to become so complicated with the man she's always counted on being by her side.

chris doesn't know why kelly dating gets him so mixed up. or, he knows, but he's not ready to admit it out loud. because the truth is, it's always been kelly for him. but he had ceded her to ray so long ago, and he isn't sure about how to take it back. but he wants her so badly.

but navigating the change between being best friends and becoming lovers is not easy. suddenly feeling like you can't talk to the one person you want to talk to all the time is frustrating and scary. both kelly and chris ride a roller coaster to their happy ending. and it's beautifully satisfying. i am really enjoying this series and i thought it would end here, but i can see where the author might decide to keep going.

**be mine, sweetheart will publish on august 14, 2018. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/kensington books (lyrical shine) in exchange for my honest review.

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...

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.

He is forbidden.
