 I love female characters who can kick butt. They are the ones who move the story. They fight the battles and stand up for what's right. They protect others and defend the weak. Strong female characters speak to something inside of us. Kristy Centeno's women are strong. They face tough choices and still do the right thing. They may be scared but they come out swinging. They save the day! Today, Prodigy- the final piece of the Giver of Life trilogy, releases. You will want to read this book. Leah is done being walked over. Now she will do what it takes to keep her daughter safe...even if it means giving up her own life. 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: “Brandon,” I whispered, my voice shaking with suppressed sobs. I cared so much for him, but there was no future for us. There never was. Like Dmitri said, making him believe otherwise would only harm him. I couldn’t do that to him. Or to my sister. “Emmaline loves you. I think you should reconcile. You should’ve never broke up with her—” He came at me so fast there was no room for a reaction. He stood in front of me before I could blink twice. With a scowl on his face, he grabbed on to my arm and jerked me forward. I stumbled a few steps and was stopped by the wall of his chest. He released me, not touching me in any way, but he didn’t have to. The energy rolling off him was the same as having his fingers run all over my skin. I shivered at the thought. I glanced up at him. I’d forgotten how tall he was. I was a like toddler standing next to him. He was so big, and strong, and…imposing. He had a physique that would intimidate anyone, but I knew he was anything but vindictive, cruel, odious. Brandon was a sweetheart underneath all those dark clothes, the black eyeliner, and ebony hair. He was warmness wrapped in a hardened exterior. I dared not move an inch. Or even breathe. His jaw was set so firmly I worried his teeth would chip a good chunk off. His gaze roamed over my face, slowly, as if it was the first time he ever saw me. I was unsettled. Nervous. Yet, so conscious of our bodies molding together as if we were born that way. You'll Want to Grab Your Own Copy!

A Better Life
By Liza O’Connor
Blurb
Angel’s husband had barely left the country when the first attempt on her life occurred. Fortunately, Anna was at home and shot the man as he entered through a window that for some reason had been left open. Now a dead body chilled in the basement freezer.
Angel had always known this day would come. She had lived in fear of this day for the last five years. The terrorists had somehow discovered her identity. By the sounds of gunshots outside the house, she knew her nightmare was far from over. Any thought of her living a normal life from here-on wasn’t possible. God only knows what would happen to her and her children now.
Discover the new life of the extraordinary forensic auditor named Angel. She can locate improperly acquired money better than anyone. Unfortunately, that puts her and her children at serious risk.
Nor does her love life work nearly as well as her forensic abilities. Men are constantly using, then betraying her. Still, she remains positive and optimistic. Now that she is officially dead, living deep within a mountain, she hopes she and her children will be safe.
To her surprise, the biggest threat is not from criminals, but her husband, who has ordered her to be killed.
EXCERPT
While Sahid argued with Anna on their next move, Angel eased from the room and hurried to the basement as Anna had requested. Max had once told her in case of a security issue, Anna was in charge.
Once down the steps, Angel searched for someplace to hide. Damn it all! Why had her grandparents lived such a simple life? They never accumulated the mounds of junk that could have provided hiding spots.
All that sat in the large concrete basement was the recently updated oil tank and furnace needed to heat their house during the cold Virginia winters, an old futon, and a giant freezer, currently hosting the dead body of the man who attempted to enter the house through a second story window that had somehow been left open. She knelt to slide beneath the futon and yelped at the sight of a hand. The man was dead, but where had he come from?
The basement door opened and Sahid glared down at her. “I told you to…never mind. Just stay down there.” He then slammed the door shut, never giving her a chance to tell him about the second dead body.
She grabbed the edge of the futon, planning to move it away from the body, only hands gripped her mouth and waist and pulled her back into a hard body. She tried to twist out of the attacker’s grip, but he was too strong.
A low voice growled in her ear. “Angel, I’m Captain Logan, here to rescue you. We have your boys.”
She stopped fighting. She had no idea if he was really here to rescue her, but if he had her boys then she had no choice but to go with him.
“Where’s Anna?” he whispered. His question gave her hope this truly was a rescue.
“Upstairs, in Max’s office, I think. She’s going to put the house in lock down.” She recalled Anna telling Sahid the opposite. “Oh God! Anna must think Sahid is working for the terrorists.”
The basement door opened. The man released her and jumped beneath the stairs.
“Angel, you okay?” Anna asked. The tension in her voice was audible.
“Yes.”
“Try to find a place to hide,” Anna advised and closed the door.
Before she could follow Anna’s advice, the captain gripped Angel by the waist and rushed her to the south end of the basement where the furnace stood. He opened a panel and motioned for her to enter.
The face of another man stared up from what should have been solid ground. Evidently Max had a tunnel dug to her house. At least she hoped it was Max who’d done this. While both men had the hardened eyes of soldiers, she sensed no hate in them. They genuinely seemed to be rescuing her.
But she needed one promise from the captain before she could go. “Rescue Anna. She’s still upstairs.”
The captain’s eyes nailed her with a frightening intensity. “If you’ll leave with my man, now, I’ll see to Anna.”

Thanks, Melissa, for letting me talk about my new romantic suspense release, For the Love of a Spy: the Scrivener and the Handyman. Here’s the story:
When Maris Graystone, political writer, and Michael Kinder, CIA troubleshooter, meet, sparks fly. Their love affair intensifies against the backdrop of the dramatic world events of 1991. Michael appears and disappears at unpredictable moments, leaving Maris limp and lovelorn. Looking for safe harbor for her emotions and her body, she accepts the advances of a dashing French diplomat.
Torn between the luxury and comfort of Émile and his chateau, and the romance of international intrigue with Michael, she must choose, but who?
For the Love of a Spy: the Scrivener and the Handyman
I Heart Publishing, December 27, 2018
222 pp.; ebook 74,000 words
Spicy (PG-13)
In this new excerpt Maris gets an eyeful of the gorgeous Michael.
Excerpt: First Encounter
He straightened and turned toward Maris. For the first time, she got a good look at his face. She backed off, partly to get out of the way and partly because she didn’t want him to see how breathless he made her.
The man was gorgeous! His face—well, a romance writer would describe it as craggy, rough-hewn, or maybe lived-in. Deep, deep blue eyes under a tousled thatch of ebony hair, his skin tanned and tight over a strong nose and high cheekbones. His mouth, although currently set in a thin, angry line, promised to be sensual and full.
She attempted, with little success, to keep her eyes from traveling down his barrel chest to his hands. Quite delicate for such a big man, the fingers long and slim. She looked up quickly and found him observing her, his face impassive. He watched as she backed away blushing, then without a word returned to his work.

A Mother's Love...
There's something wondrous about a mother's love. She gives of herself for the children, often going without so that they have what they need. As a mother of two, I remember those days with the lack of sleep and putting the needs of my children above my own.
But what would happen if someone was out to kill your child? I can't imagine how challenging it would be to keep your child safe and help them grow up into a wonderful person.
Ms. Centeno has an amazing wrap up to her Giver of Life Trilogy with Prodigy. You won't be able to put it down.
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?

Based on a real 80 year old person who was arrested after being a drug runner for the El Choppo drug cartel, The Mule brings back Clint Eastwood as actor, director and executive producer.

You can read my review here.
Who is the one celebrity you would love to date?? What if you had the chance to pretend to be their fiancee and spend time with them?? I'd have a mess on my hands. I'm very much a quiet type and being around them would put me in the limelight. But I have two I would chance it for- Tom Hiddleston and Gerard Butler. Both have a wonderful sense of humor and sexy accents. Those are the only two reasons! But each of us have one... who is yours??
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:
“So you’re Soumya Ninan,” he said, his tone curt.
“Yes,” she mumbled.
He was clearly imposing his worth on her. She knew perfectly well that her gray kurta and dark churidar pants in no way matched up to the expensive clothing of his typical female companions. By those standards, she was dressed like a maid.
But did he have to look at her like that? As if studying every hair on her head? She dropped her head and wrung her hands, as he continued to survey her.
“The girl I’m supposedly engaged to,” he continued.
Her gaze shot up. “I—I can explain that.”
He smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “Can you now?” he mused. “You can explain how I’m engaged to be married to a complete stranger, can you?” His light eyes were furious. “Go on then. This better be good!”
Soumya squirmed in her seat. “I wouldn’t say that,” she said clumsily. “But I have an explanation. I’m not sure you’re going to like it.”
This time, he snapped. “I don’t quite like being engaged to a girl I’ve never met before! Nobody in their right mind would. Now hurry up! What’s your story?”

This time, he snapped. “I don’t quite like being engaged to a girl I’ve never met before! Nobody in their right mind would. Now hurry up! What’s your story?”

Have you ever enjoyed a movie, just because?? Robin Hood was like that for me. It wasn't really anything groundbreaking but it was fun. My favorite part was the ending because we saw how a man could go from being good to evil. You can catch my review HERE.

Saving Sentry
By
Liza O’Connor
Book 4 of the
Requires Rescue Series
∞
Contemporary Suspense

Sometimes even the strong
requires a helping hand.
Blurb
The largest, strongest dog in the pack was miserable. He was born to be a leader, yet he wasn’t. He was born to be special, yet he wasn’t. He was called “Grumpy” by the humans. And while he was grumpy and sad, he had every right to be. This was not the life he was meant to have!
When Sean, Molly, and Eliza returned to their home, the mass of twenty-five giant Shiloh Shepherds frightened Eliza. She wanted her puppies! Still, she could see the great sadness in the massive dog’s eyes as he crawled submissively into her room. Her father explained that Grumpy expected to be pack leader, but none of the dogs will accept him.
She objected to his name at once, and once Sean discovered how smart and gentle the dog was with Molly, he suggested they rename him Sentry. When Eliza learned a sentry watches and protects, she agreed with the name change. Sean explained to Sentry that he was to protect Eliza at all times. The change in Sentry was remarkable. He now had the most important job in the world: protecting Eliza.
EXCERPT
Nancy is building a new physical therapy center in Sean & Molly’s town.
When Nancy Ashcraft announced she’d be opening their finest physical therapy center in the bucolic New York countryside, close to Sean, Molly, and Eliza, all the patients demanded to transfer to Pea Pod.
“Hold on, it’s not open yet. We’ve only broken ground, laid the foundation, and built the exterior walls and roofing. There is still much to be done. If all goes well, we will open in three months. However, by then I expect every one of you to be well.”
After a long, happy, huggy party, Sean took his two girls to the car waiting in the underground parking lot.
The head of security, Jack Thorp escorted them down, then patted Eliza’s head, hugged Molly, and finally shook Sean’s hand. “It’s been a pleasure and an honor to know you. Just so you know, I’ll be relocating to Pea Pod in a few weeks to ensure the security features are properly installed.”
“Do you have a place to stay?” Sean asked.
He grimaced. “In Brewster. Turns out Pea Pod doesn’t have a hotel, motel, or even a Bed and Breakfast,” he complained.
Molly leaned across the car seat so she could see Jack. “We have enough rooms to be a Bed and Breakfast.”
Sean kissed his wife’s forehead. “I am not having my home taken up by petulant strangers demanding food.” He then turned to Jack. “However, you are welcomed to stay at our house for as long as you like.”
“You sure?”
“Positive,” Sean added. Besides liking Jack, having the fellow around would add another layer of security for his girls.
“Then I gratefully accept.”
“Come as soon as you like.”
Jack’s brow furrowed, evidently reading more to his invitation than hopefully Molly would.

Saving Sentry is an amazing tale of family love and the impact of pets on our lives. Sentry became more than just a dog. He was a savior to the family when they needed protection and a guardian. I hugged my dogs a little harder when I completed this book, as I remembered how important they were to me.
Ms. O'Connor's stories always bring out the feels. I find myself running the gamet from shock and fear to laughter and tears. Each story digs deeper into the conceptions of life and what's really important. Saving Sentry leads readers through an amazing story of one dog and the family who he lives with, as well as how better each of us could be as human beings. I highly recommend this tale of bravery and sacrifice.

The holidays are a time for family-coming together, sharing good memories and celebrating their blessings. Finn and Lara have faced tough times. This should be their time to shine. Finn's music career is going strong. But fate has a way of messing up best laid plans....
Come along and return to the Murphy house as they face a new challenge down the bumpy road of life...
BLURB:
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?

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.
