Jilted is love in it's purest form. Raw, unpredictable, haunting and fierce. Buried inside the impossible resides the courage to make the impossible, a reality. Jilted is the joining of two deeply wounded hearts, despite the odds. Heartache has never hurt so good. Nico and Sophie delve deep into the soul and leave a gaping wound where the heart should be. It's a messy kind of pain littered with some ugly cry moments, but Thompson never ceases to mend the wounds she inflicts. For within the tragedy of life is a salve known as love and that makes the heartache worth every tear.

A steampunk western? Sounds interesting. This opens up with Tom traveling back to his hometown from the front of a war with the Hapsburg's. It turns out he was in love with Rosa and didn't want to fight for their relationship (because her parents didn't like him and Reasons). He's going back to check on things. Low and behold he finds a gigantic mining machine tearing through the countryside towards his hometown. Rosa left the town and got a lot of life experience. When she came back, she was appointed sheriff. Now it's up to them to stop the machine from destroying the town.
While this was action packed, it was light on the romance. I thought Rosa forgave Tom too easily. I also had a hard time imaging what a "Sky Horse" would look like (no wings).

When Aidan logs onto the Internet one night during winter break, he hardly expects to meet tall, dark, and handsome Jake - let alone discover over the course of their chats and emails that Jake may actually be...well...pretty much perfect. However, with Jake studying abroad 8,000 miles away, Aidan soon finds himself struggling with the intense feelings that he's developed for a man he's never actually met.

With an ocean between them and all of the doubts and questions that come with the distance, will their relationship ever find wings? And when they finally meet in person, can their online romance become an IRL happily ever after?

Review

Theater manager Teddy Carbone’s life has gone pretty much according to script... until now.

To his surprise, Teddy finds himself co-owner of the Oasis Theater with Carter Monroe, a corporate shark who’s looking at him like he’s chum in the water. Being in charge of the theater is one thing, but having to deal with Carter and his demands is another. With Carter’s proposed plan to sell the Oasis looming, Teddy must convince Carter the theater is worth saving. When Teddy introduces the bright, bold world of the stage to Carter’s cold, all-business lifestyle, though, he soon comes to recognize that the Oasis might not be the only thing he has a chance to save.

Review

Unscripted is by far the sexiest entry into the series. I love the details of the theater and Teddy is wonderful.,

Carter is not. He changes and that is good but because we are only in Teddy's head we don't get to really see his arc and he doesn't talk much.

So, for me, he stays pretty cold. We get a HEA but I am not attached to Carter though it is clear he adores Teddy.

Awww. Seriously. This volume brings back all the things I love about this comic series. We have Kamala interacting with her family more and we get the explanation of Arabic words and meanings. The volume ends on a good note which I won't complain about. And heck it even had me like Tony Stark (yeah still mad about Civil War).

It's been eight months since the last volume. I'll eventually go find the issues that had Kamala off with the Avengers but not right now. I'm trying to finish all my library borrows since they are all due this week. Kamala is part of the Avengers but feels overwhelmed by superheroing in Jersey City and elsewhere as well as keeping up with school and family events.

This volume has Kamala coming to a realization about Bruno and they both finally (thank goodness) let each other go as love interests I think. Bruno rightfully decides to not wait for Kamala to not be too busy for him. Though Kamala responds jealously to Bruno moving on. Thank on the volume gets better when we move to Aamir deciding he is to marry an African American Muslim named Tyesha. Tyesha won me over with the Dune references. I love that Wilson also includes details on how some Pakistani Muslim would have certain prejudices against darker skin Muslims. I had no idea.

When the two families meet hilarity ensues but all parties agree to let the two marry. Due to this and Avengers missions Kamala is feeling run down and then after a mission multiple Kamala's start to appear.

Honestly this volume is about Kamala trusting herself and also asking for help. I would have thought she got that out of her system before, but now since she is part of a team she is trying to prove herself all over again.

We get appearances from the Avengers and I cracked up at Tony Stark and Carol Danvers showing their mutual disdain for each other. What comes through though is that Tony cares for and loves Kamala though so I went awww a few times.
