Book 1 in The Collision Series is an emotional, slow burn, New Adult romance. After losing both of her parents, Merritt Adams was forced to grow up at a young age. Now a bitter and jaded adult, she's convinced that the only person she can count on is herself. When she's injured in a fiery crash, Merritt has to learn how to accept help from her friends. But she isn't prepared for support from the popular musician she used to go to school with. Chase Brooks spent the last two years in California aspiring to become a rock star, but his dream is cut short when he receives word about his sick father. He returns home to be with his family, and ends up seeking solace in the one girl who knows what it's like to lose everything. Merritt fights her attraction to Chase every step of the way, refusing to let him in. But beneath his cocky charm and good looks, she finds a caring man who's hurting just as badly as she is. As they grow closer, the wall Merritt built around her heart begins to crumble. What Merritt doesn't know is that Chase holds the truth about who saved her from her mangled car the night of the accident - and it could destroy the trust he's worked so hard for. Two sad souls could be perfect for each other, but a secret might tear them apart. REVIEW "A deep storyline that I couldn't even put the book down for one second.

Book 4 in The Collision Series is an emotional standalone romance about finding hope after loss. TJ Cutler's life has been anything but easy. Looking at him now, no one would guess that the successful MMA fighter and business owner was once a homeless drug addict who witnessed his father brutally murder his mother when he was just a child. But TJ knows how harsh reality can be for some, and he dedicates his life to helping those who are struggling like he once did. Carla Evans thought that her life was perfect until everything fell apart. Determined to start over, she moves to a new town ready to check items off of her bucket list. She didn't plan for a steamy one-night stand with a muscular, tattooed fighter. She also didn't know that he'd end up being the boss at her new job a week later. She tries to keep things professional, but they're unable to resist their attraction to each other. Carla is the uptight, buttoned-up contrast to TJ's fearless and outgoing nature. He shows her how to live outside the box she constructed for herself, and pushes her past her comfort zone. But Carla soon realizes that TJ is the one in need of help - and love. Can Carla break through the walls of TJ's damaged past, or are his wounds too deep to be healed? This book contains some graphic scenes and sensitive subject matter. REVIEW "I devoured this book in hours. TJ, what can I say? You had me at the one tattooed butt cheek. Beautifully told & heartbreaking at the same time." -- Nikki J Summers, Author "This story made me feel everything. It consumed me. TJ and his demons, Carla and her struggles. Two characters that are totally right for one another. Kristen has a way with words and this book is written so beautifully." -- Lindsey Powell, Author "Fantastically Heavy Read! Wow! What an emotional ride Kristen Granata takes her readers on. From the blurb, I thought it was going to be pretty cut and dry, bad ass guy and stuck up girl getting together. However, this was so much more". -- Tiffany Readz "Kristen's writing continues to get better with every story. She is never afraid to write about real topics and loves making her readers go through a thousand emotions while reading her stories." -- Dorthy, GoodReads Reviewer

A Novel

On a beautiful June day in 1965, a dozen girls-classmates at a picturesque Blue Ridge women's college-launched their homemade raft (inspired by Huck Finn's) on a trip down the Mississippi. It's Girls A-Go-Go Down the Mississippi read the headline in the Paducah, Kentucky, paper.Thirty-five years later, four of those "girls" reunite to cruise the river again. This time it's on the luxury steamboat, The Belle of Natchez, and there's no publicity. This time, when they reach New Orleans, they'll give the river the ashes of a fifth rafter-beautiful Margaret ("Baby") Ballou.
Revered for her powerful female characters, here Lee Smith tells a brilliantly authoritative story of how college pals who grew up in an era when they were still called "girls" have negotiated life as "women." Harriet Holding is a hesitant teacher who has never married (she can't explain why, even to herself). Courtney Gray struggles to step away from her Southern Living-style life. Catherine Wilson, a sculptor, is suffocating in her happy third marriage. Anna Todd is a world-famous romance novelist escaping her own tragedies through her fiction. And finally there is Baby, the girl they come to bury-along with their memories of her rebellions and betrayals.
THE LAST GIRLS is wonderful reading. It's also wonderfully revealing of women's lives-of the idea of romance, of the relevance of past to present, of memory and desire.
