seriously romantic: lovely little liar by j. kenner

within the ever-expanding stark world, we find the blackwell-lyon agency, a security firm based in austin, run by pierce blackwell and cayden and connor lyon. pierce takes the lead in lovely little liar, and does he fall hard. 

jezebel stuart is incredibly protective of her sister, delilah. an up-and-coming actress, delilah has made enemies of her fans when she cheats on her celebrity boyfriend. think kristen stewart–robert pattinson level drama. jez needs a security firm to help keep an eye on her sister. 

when pierce and jez meet, they don't realize they believe the other to be someone else. this meet-cute of misunderstandings is super funny, but also just the right length to work without making the characters seem stupid. once pierce sorts out that he and jez were talking about different things, he also figures out that she needs him. like right now needs him, because there's been a security breach and delilah's location has been disclosed. 

how he handles things goes a long way to convincing jez that he is worth trusting. a shared acquaintance does the rest. 

this is a novella, so things amp up pretty quickly. jez and pierce have chemistry to spare and as a series starter this is just the right amount of intriuguing to make you want to read more about these characters.

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.

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.
