Have you ever been sad to see a book end? Grea Warner's Country Roads series has been one such series. I fell in love with Finn Murphy. What's not to love? He's a cross between Keith Urban and George Strait with his good looks, charm and talent. But finding out about the hidden fears he kept under wraps and the many stresses of being a superstar, Ms. Warner created a complex character who deserved a happily ever after.

Enter Lara...the girl who won his heart. She didn't even really like him much when they first met but as she learned more about him and his caring nature, she (like the rest of us) was hooked. 

Together, they've faced many bumpy roads but like all good books, their story must return to the shelf. There are other stories to tell. But don't worry. We will still see them again. After all, Ms. Warner has already written another story of one of their friends, and I'm begging her to write more!

Blurb:
West Virginia, New York, Tennessee…Lara and Finn Murphy have lived in all of these places. And thanks to Finn’s career as a country music singer, they have had the opportunity to explore many more. But what they have discovered along the many roads traveled, is that the only real place that matters is where each other is—that is the place they belong.

The pair will need to hold onto that truth as they face their greatest challenges yet. On top of dealing with Pop’s terminal illness, Lara and Finn’s young daughter is caught up in an emergency situation. The traumatic event not only scratches at old wounds but brings an unwanted public spotlight on the family.

Amongst the emotional upheaval, can they find sanctuary and comfort in each other? Will they learn to reconcile what has happened in the past to find peace in the present? Can they finally and completely let each other in?
​
And, will their road of life, full of detours and U-turns, finally have a happily ever after?
 
The final book in the Country Roads series, THE PLACE I BELONG, will take you on an emotional, heartfelt journey.

About the Author:
There really wasn’t any other path. Grea Warner knew from a young age that she wanted to write. She was born to write. First it was in diaries with little metal keys and in written tales that she slipped to friends in study hall. School newspapers, a college television drama, and internships in the soap opera world were next. After producing and writing a local show, she decided to delve into the world of the novelist. When her fingers aren’t tapping out her latest book filled with angst and romance, Grea can be found hiking the trails or jamming to her favorite country artists on the radio.

What happens when you find yourself without any memories?  Do you trust the people around you? Memories are a tricky thing. My mom had some brain damage and couldn't remember immediate things. So she'd call over and over and tell me things that happened recently because she didn't think I knew. My grandfather who had Alzheimer's would see things that weren't there, including me when he'd go to the dentist or store. 

Summer is facing something more dangerous than not knowing who someone is... She could lose her life!

BLURB:
It’s an abrupt, uncomfortable incarnation for Summer, the ghostly girl with chameleon eyes. Exotic hues roil in her gaze as she seeks to recall what awful sin in her past has doomed her to roam the earth. And to discover what—or who—will bring her to eternal rest.

Kota, brunt of bad jokes because he’s different, feels an instant connection to Summer. She recoils at the mere sight of him. Yet they are drawn together in a dance of mutual need, choreographed by the ages.

As Summer grows more attached to both her young foster brother and to Kota’s friend, Preston, she struggles against complacency. Until discovering that if she doesn’t expiate the guilt on her soul by her seventeenth birthday, she will roam forever.

For her, it’s hate at first sight. For him, it’s instant attraction. When the pieces of their lives begin to unravel and intertwine, will love be enough to save them both? Or will evil decide their future?

EXCERPT:
“You are tired more often this time.” Azul’s blue essence is a welcome bit of my poorly remembered past, because he’s been with me since the beginning of this journey. I know this, though I don’t know when or how my wandering came to be. I notice his usual form is less distinct, as if he’s fading away.

“Tired of not knowing how to truly rest. Will you tell me now?” I’m drifting in open space, letting the nothingness of his realm soothe the rigors of a phony life on earth.

“Time is not your friend.” Azul darkens to navy, as if a filter has been pulled across his normal cerulean-based essence. “Detritus grows restless. He will soon awaken.”

“What does that mean?” A frisson of unease causes my vapor to crinkle.

“You must think. A past not remembered is doomed to be repeated. Every clock here eventually winds down, one soul at a time. And there are stumbling blocks in your path.”

I become aware of mournful moaning I’ve never heard before. Specters dart past, quickly, like fireflies. They seem to have no purpose, no destination, no autonomy, as if captives in a glass jar. “What are they?”

“They are your future. Aimless, unrequited, tortured.”

“No. Please. Tell me what to do.” The moaning grows more fierce as the specters beat against the gate. It’s open but they can’t seem to get out. Panic nibbles at my brain, pushing aside all rational thought. I reach for the answer. It slides away.
​
“You have outpaced your allotment. I stretched this final phase because you have tried so hard.” Azul’s essence quivers. “But your body is now aging in real time. When you reach seventeen human years, you will belong to Detritus.” He gestures to the specters. “As do they.”

Blurb:
Behind the beauty is heartache... unless their love can save them.
 
Neve Hall has always admired the good works of the civil servants who brought prosperity back to the Nation. She especially respects the Sufferers—empaths who, with the help of technology, anonymously bear others’ troubles for them. But when her assigned empath is abruptly retired, she uncovers certain secrets. Like the identity of her new Sufferer, Micah Ward... and the fact that behind his kind smile is a life filled with loneliness and pain.
 
The closer Neve grows to Micah, the more desperate she becomes to protect him from a cruel and gruesome fate. But in a world where only a few are allowed the luxury of love, saving Micah comes with a price: Neve must choose between her loyalty to the Nation or her heart—a decision that will take them both on a race for their freedom, and their lives.

Just because someone is a vampire, doesn't mean that they are evil. Now don't get us wrong, there are certainly some evil vampires (and we are sure you will meet some), but our heroine is truly one of a kind.

Blurb:
Always and Forever

Annie is a Culper Spy captured by Hessian soldiers. Powerful and mysterious Captain Thayer Emmerich takes mercy and releases her. Annie is inexplicably drawn to the handsome German, but she hates the feeling of powerlessness the enemy has left her with. Annie would give anything to be stronger.

One evening at the famous Green Dragon Tavern, Annie befriends the ethereal Millicent. Soon after meeting Millicent, Annie discovers her secret--her new friend isn’t human. Millicent introduces Annie to her maker, Alexandre, and Annie joins their preternatural family.

Annie finally has the strength and freedom she needs to aid the revolution and see Thayer, once again. The two discover a passion neither has known before. But, too many complications exist for the pair to find happily ever after. Not only are they fighting on opposite sides of the war, the evil Emilia Romanov has plans for Thayer that do not include a love affair.

Rebel Heart is set in 18th century Boston and Savannah, as well as modern day Germany and France. This is the second book in The Immortal Kindred Series.
 
Psst...This is only the second in this FABULOUS series. There are going to be FIVE books!! All coming soon!

EXCERPT:
​Walking through the city to the cemetery was no easy task. By the time I reached the iron gates, my feet screaming with each step, it was close to dark. Thoughts of my warm, cozy home assailed my mind. What I wouldn’t give to be there right now.
I shouldn’t have come so late in the evening. I carried a small lantern, but the place was so deserted, so eerie, unease prickled the back of my neck. An evening mist hung about the gravestones like a death shroud. There were no sounds, only a smell of decay which made me shudder.
I tried to tell myself this was an easy task, but something still didn’t feel right. Shaking my head clear of these thoughts, I pressed on.
I looked around just to be certain I was alone. The grave was right where Benjamin said it would be. His precise directions saved me much time. Walking through this desolate place brought back a myriad of unwanted memories.
As an eight-year-old child, I had seen both of my parents buried within weeks of each other. The influenza was dreadful, unforgiving. Being poor, they were buried cheaply, with no one in attendance but myself and the priest. The next day, I was picked up by my mother’s cousin. The penniless woman was not happy to have another mouth to feed. But I was used to work and proved myself useful to her. Benjamin said I had been trying to prove my worth ever since.

There are some things which are non-negotiable. Anytime someone comes after my children, I turn into mother bear. A few years ago, my son was playing in the common area of our condominium and one of the residents called the police because she thought he shouldn't be playing there. Mind you, the police must come out for every call, so the poor man got to see me questioning the sanity of the woman. I can't imagine what I would do to protect my child from harm. What would you do?

Ms. Centeno's latest book is the final piece in the Giver of Life Trilogy. We see Leah grown up. She has a daughter of her own. Now she'll do anything to protect her... 

BLURB:
Leah Parker’s fate had always been controlled by others—who she loved and who she lost. Five years after the tragic murder of her daughter’s father, she’s done everything in her power to protect her little girl from the outside world. But she’s rebelled against fate in the past and no act of defiance goes unpunished in the Enchanter community.

The ultimate power wants to correct the damage done by Jae and the only way they can do that is by getting rid of her special child—a child destined to replace all branches of Enchanter magic one day.

But, Leah isn’t willing to go down without a fight. She will do anything to save what Jae died to protect, even if she must turn against the Circle of Elders. But when her first love, Brandon Morris walks back into her life, Leah knows nothing will ever be the same again.

Leah must confront her past, before she and her daughter are erased from her family line. She must get over her guilt and rely on Brandon to ensure her daughter’s survival. But will the pain from their past destroy their friendship forever? Or will their old bond hold them together and carry them through what’s ahead?

EXCERPT:
“If…” I trailed off. My internal alarm buzzed as first one charm then another was tripped. Wires of magic I’d set up to prevent evil from trespassing were cut off. Something or someone had dared to set foot in my property.

And it was moving closer.

“Mommy!” Lily cried out. She felt it too. Danger was near.

I broke free of Brandon’s hold and rushed into the living room. I picked Lily up and hugged her to me as darkness filled the windows, blocking out the sunlight. It was as if a solar eclipse was in full swing in our little neck of the woods, obstructing the rays of light that had been peeking through the blinds just seconds ago.

The sudden presence was oppressing. Heavy. It fell over the area like a blanket of stormy clouds about to unleash its fury on nature. The boards on the porch whined as an unseen mass applied pressure to them. I followed the noise to the front door, shifting ever so slightly to my right as the sounds stopped at the other side.

Dmitri sprinted to the door with murder in his eyes. He rested his hand on the knob, but I shouted at him to stop.

“Don’t let it in here,” I yelled. He looked at me but said nothing.

I spun on my heels with a shaking Lily in my arms and sprinted to my bedroom. I knelt next to the trunk and opened it, then removed the fan from within.

“What are you doing?” Brandon asked behind me.
​
“Getting Lily out of here.” I unsheathed the fan and concentrated. Opening the portal to Mr. Hwang’s hidden paradise would require more magic indoors as opposed to outside, but I didn’t have much of a choice. If I had to fight for our lives, I’d prefer for Lily to be safe somewhere far from evil’s grasp. Even if that meant diminishing my stock before a battle.

What type of books do you enjoy reading? Do you like cut and dry books like botany texts? Do you like self-help texts? Or do you like stories where you can get inside the character, feel what they are feeling and still end on a happy note?

Those are the types of stories I love. I want to connect with the character and go along for the ride as they deal with the ups and downs of love. I want to cheer them on and yell at them when they make their decisions--both good and bad. 

Grea Warner's stories are emotionally filling. I always fall in love with the characters. Lara is so much like me...I wonder if Ms. Warner was inside my head. I enjoy seeing Lara grow as a mother and wife as she faces the challenges of marriage, especially to a superstar like Keith Urban...errr.. I mean Finn. :) I find books that fill my soul are the ones I can't put down and will read again and again.

A teardrop sends out many ripples…

The road that Lara and Finn Murphy have taken together has been full of curves and bumps and foggy patches. But despite his demanding country music career and tragedies along the way, they found forever with each other. And now, with the addition of their two young children, their home is filled with even more love and joy.

But, when Finn goes on his summer tour without Lara and the kids, some of the pieces of their idyllic life begin to crumble. Lara struggles with who she is as an individual, especially after finding herself in a perilous situation. Their son, Chance, starts to act out because he is missing his dad. And Finn feels like he can’t protect any of them like he wants to.

Instead of it getting better upon the musician’s return, though, things only get worse. The couple, torn apart by false accusations and poor choices, must find a way to come together when heartbreaking news is revealed. Is there any way they can turn all the tears of sadness to ones of happiness?

EXCERPT:
He turned serious. “Are you all right? I know it’s a lot.”

I took a deep, silent breath. It was a lot. I wasn’t truly all right. But I had to be. There really wasn’t an alternative. I needed to be—both for the kids and for their dad.

“Yeah.” I finally managed the one word answer.

He took a moment, too, and said, “I love you.”

I sighed, recognizing those words as a signal for the conclusion of our conversation. Although they were sincere and special and never lost their meaning, hearing them instantly deflated my soul. When I was speaking with him, I felt secure. I felt serene. But I knew the moment we would lose that phone connection…

“Lar?” he queried.

“It’s just…sometimes I wonder if that’s enough.”

“What?” His one word started with puzzlement but concluded with fear as he realized that the last comment he had said was that he loved me. His next two words were even more pronounced. “Lara? What?”

“I’m sorry. I’m just tired,” I tried with what was mostly the truth. “Go. Have fun. Make that crowd light up.”

“Lara!” He immediately admonished me before trying to take the lead in rectifying how I felt and what I said. “No! What did that mean? What do you need? What can I d—?”

“I need you, Finn,” I blurted out and then more softly echoed with, “I just need you.”

Many of us fantasize about having a celebrity relationship. Some people even have a "free pass" in their relationship if a certain celebrity would ask them on a date. Pamela's weaves a tale of stardom and love when a perfectly ordinary woman tells the papers that she's the fiancee of a big Bollywood star. 

BLURB:
Charismatic Bollywood actor, Vir Seth declares he won't be trapped into marriage by a scheming woman. When Soumya Ninan overhears his reasons, she decides to punish him by doing exactly that.

Soumya Ninan unleashes a storm when she announces to the newspapers that Vir is engaged. To whom? Why Soumya herself!

The battle has just begun.

EXCERPT:
Vir gently pushed her to the grass, his body pressed urgently to her side. She melted and responded without thinking. Within a moment, he’d reduced her to a trembling mess as his experienced mouth moved over hers. His lips trailed below, to her neck, and lower. She gasped and her whole body tightened in response to his roving hands. Her fingers curled in his hair. Her head was full of him. Time stood still and Vir kissed her long and hard. He groaned his satisfaction and it pleased her immensely.

He didn’t force a response as he coaxed one from her. His lips set her skin on fire and his rough skin grazed hers. His citrus aftershave overwhelmed her senses. Impatient fingers moved confidently across her waist and up.

Soumya burned for Vir. She had never felt this way. He drew back and stared deep into her eyes, his eyes dark. With his breathing strained and his voice tight, he spoke.

“I want you, Soumya.”

She was transfixed by his smoldering stare. She touched his furrowed brow. She couldn’t find the words.

“I’ll take that as a yes,” he said with a throaty chuckle.

She pulled him back to her and she murmured against his lips. “Yes,” she said.
​
This time, he possessed her mouth like a man starved, demanding and unstoppable. They both chased the same goal as their hearts beat as one. He didn’t hold back. Soumya’s hands roamed all over his torso, which was so deliciously male. His lips delved into hers and he pulled her atop him now. Vir’s hands flitted across her abdomen, under her shirt. Her skin heated; there were too many sensations at once. She realized she was the one kissing him with fury. He let her. His hands traveled upward, and she moaned in approval.
