seriously romantic: wrong bed, right roommate by rebecca brooks

for some inexplicable reason, i always enjoy a good wrong bed story. in wrong bed, right roommate jessie needs a subletter while her roommate, talia, is away from the summer. the one they'd found just bailed on her and even though she's just starting her dream job, she's not really able to afford new york rents on her own.

when talia's brother, shawn offers to take the subletter's place, it's the perfect solution. except, he has a bit of a reputation of sleeping with talia's friends and of being a screw-up who quits when things get too hard. jessie's super type-a, and isn't really interested in relying on someone so, well, unreliable.

when he accidentally ends up in her bed, they scare the crap out of each other. once their heart rates return to normal, they notice other things. like how sexy the other person is. her legs, his abs—both of them end up hot and bothered. 

but is a summer of fun worth jeopardizing their relationship with talia? she'll be upset if shawn hooks up with yet another of her friends. and jessie knows that this is talia's no-go zone. but the attraction is hard to resist. and when those sparks lead to something more serious than just a summer of sex and fun, they both have to figure out how to fight to keep what they want. 

i really enjoyed this story, and loved how both these characters became better version of themselves when they were together. they both struggle with a lot of doubt and insecurity, and how they overcome those things makes for a story with a little more emotional heft than you'd expect. 

**wrong bed, right rooommate will publish on january 14, 2018. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/entangled publishing (brazen) 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...

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. 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.
