seriously romantic: trusted by karrie roman

zach piper escapes a lifetime of emotional abuse when he leave behind the cult run by his father. from the moment he meets cameron cronin something about him calls to him. he trusts cameron. he knows that he could love cameron. even before he had the words for his sexuality he's always known that he was gay. but he's also lived a life sheltered from modern technology, modern problems, modern beliefs. so zach has a lot to learn.

cameron knows he wants to protect zach. he loves zach, but is afraid to be in love with zach. his previous relationship experience deeply scarred him. his partner was emotionally, physically and sexually abusive and it took him a long time to recognize this. and he still feels unworthy and at fault. and he's afraid to trust his own feelings for zach, and afraid to trust zach with his feelings.

this is a slow burn. cameron tries to keep things platonic, but zach pushes at this boundary. he might have been sheltered. and cameron might feel overprotective, but zach is all man. he knows what he wants. he is willing to fight for more. because he knows that if cameron would just let zach love him, that they could find true happiness. both zach and cameron have to lay themselves bare, trust in each other in order to have it all. i really enjoyed trusted and am super intrigued to read the next book in the series, as well as picking up the previous books. even though it's part of a series, you can totally read it as a standalone, there is likely overlap, but this story is self-contained enough so that you don't miss anything.

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. 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.
