seriously romantic: my best friend's ex by shannyn schroeder

book 2 in the daring divorcees series finds trevor booth dealing with the sudden death of his ex-wife, lisa, and wrangling his two teenaged children. a recovering alcoholic, most everyone is expecting him to relapse and mess up somehow, but trevor is determined to be the best version of himself he could be.

when callie shows up, she's devastated by her best friend's death, and is determined to be there for her kids, the kids she's been there for since their parents' divorce. but she also has to figure out how to navigate things with her best friend's ex, she used to be friends with trevor too, but when his relationship with lisa fell apart things between them grew distant.

it's not easy to handle grief. and callie and trevor have a lot of ups and downs to deal with as they deal with the repercussions of everything that has rocked their world since lisa died. and the connection that grows, the one that was always there, is impossible to ignore. but there is also so much baggage between them. not just everything that happened when trevor and lisa were married, but callie has her own issues and trevor isn't the best at communication.

i will say that there were times in this story where we were asked to sort of take callie's side, when she was very obviously in the wrong. there were so many moments where she should have talked things out with trevor before making parenting calls or overruling things he established. they resolve those things.

**my best friend's ex will publish on june 10, 2019. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/entangled publishing (august) 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.

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.
