seriously romantic: the unhoneymooners by christina lauren

you have to love the inscrutable hero in the unhoneymooners. poor ethan is much maligned and really doesn't deserve all the bad feelings olive torres has been sending his way. from the get-go it's pretty clear that she's bad at reading body language and social cues, and prone to thinking the worst and making huge assumptions about what people think.

this is the root of her problems. one she learns when she's on an impromptu honeymoon with ethan and realizes that all the things she assumed about him are dead wrong. lest you think olive is some horrible shrew, she's actually not. she's funny and engaging and the kind of heroine you root for. she's got a problem with verbal diarrhea at the most inopportune times. and have i said she's funny.

the chemistry and interplay between her and ethan is fantastic. and how the black moment turns on both her being right about this one thing, but no one believes her because of her propensity to think the worst of everything is pretty brilliantly done. i enjoyed this story, it's kind of a given because it's easy to enjoy a christina lauren story. these authors have a way of creating characters with heart and humor.

**the unhoneymooners will publish on may 14, 2019. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/gallery, threshold, pocket books (gallery books) in exchange for my honest review.

simply catching up on all things general hospital

[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.
