About the author

Kitty Berry grew up an only child who never wished for a sibling in a small town in Connecticut. After graduating with a degree in Early Childhood Special Education, she began teaching in the field and started to raise a family. Her literary influences happened later in life when she stumbled upon The Pilot’s Wife by Anita Shreve after seeing it featured on the Oprah Show. It was her late mother’s (whose name she uses as a pen name) desire of becoming a writer that prompted Kitty to create a contemporary romantic series.
Being a creative person by nature who came into writing during a time in her life when the busy balance of career and family made her crave an escape into the world of romance, Kitty took that desire and turned it into a romantic series that offers the reader multidimensional characters.
In 2013, she published her first novel from The Stone Series, Sliding. Since then she has written 10 other novels in that series, among them Stoned, Second Chances, Surrender, Starting Over, and Silence. The final installment, Survivor was released in 2016. A holiday edition was released in late 2018.
Since then, Berry has released a trilogy titled, The Anatomy of Love and written a carry-over stand-alone novel, Vines of Ivy. In 2019, she released the Compatible Companions Trilogy.
Because angst-ridden, plot-driven, women's contemporary romances mesmerize Kitty, Berry writes only in that genre. While each book in The Stone Series can stand alone with its own story, Berry’s intention was to create carry-over characters to satisfy the need of the reader to know more after each novel ends. As an avid reader herself, Kitty enjoys the feeling of being there with the characters inside the story and often finds herself wanting to know more about them, missing them when the story is over, and becoming excited all over again when she discovers those familiar characters in subsequent novels. It is her hope that The Stone Series will do the same for her readers.
Kitty is married to a man she met in graduate school and has three boys who are almost men.
Kitty recently founded RomantiConn (a romance author signing event annually held in CT) and is currently working on the Falls Village anthology hybrid with her fellow RomantiConn authors.

Blurb:
Special Agent Graham King no longer works for the military, but he is still recovering from his latest war wounds and those left behind from the woman who stole his heart in London. Now back in his hometown in Georgia, Graham finds himself lonely and missing Emory even though she is only a few miles away at Big Daddy’s ranch. He is longing for the promise of their budding romance when he comes face to face with his ex and her new man. That's when Graham begins to piece together the events that happened that fateful night in the desert where everything went wrong. Unfortunately for Graham, his mind is slow moving in finishing that puzzle and before he has the chance to see his protégé for whom and what he really is, Graham is knee deep in trouble and taking Emory along for the ride.

*It is recommended that you read the series in order. Some of the books act as stand-alones but each book builds on the story of the previous installment.*

Wow! This phenomenal and brilliantly written series just keeps getting better and better. Graham has gone home to Georgia without Emory for a final debrief with the military. He begins to remember what happened in the desert. Emory is now in danger when she arrives back in Georgia as her father had a heart attack. Many of the amazing characters from the previous stories are back and danger is coming at them from all sides. This story has it all, thrilling action, heartbreak, suspense, treacherous peril for some, and steamy romance. I love this story and this beautifully written series. I could not put it down.

Wrapping up the storylines with a cute little bow but killing me with each and every page. Holy crap this book packs a punch. We finally get all the answers that we needed and for some happiness is achieved but the ending left me breathless and yelling at my kindle. Emotions run high but I could not stop reading. I am just hoping that EVERYONE survives.

Incredibly Addictive Serious

I discovered this Author by chance and haven't stopped devouring the Series yet.

Inside these exquisitely crafted pages, you will discover what a military Brotherhood truly is.

And the ending is amazing.

Congratulations to Ms. Kitty Berry.

Once I got over my resentment for having to read this book just to find out what happens I decided it was pretty good.
