By now you guys know of course that the 4th KGI book, Whispers at Dark, featured the youngest Kelly brother, Nathan, and that Echoes at Dawn, the 5th book in the series, will feature Rio, one of the team leaders and will release July 2012.
So here is the official announcement for the 6th book in the series, Shades of Gray, which will release in Jan 2013 :)
Shades of Gray will feature Cole and P.J. two of the KGI team members who you’ve met in the first 4 books and will of course see again in the 5th book as well.
Obviously the series will (hopefully) be longer than six books since obviously there are more of the brothers (Donovan and Joe) to write about but I have plans for some of the team members as well :) (Just in case anyone thought that I would only be writing stories for the six Kelly brothers)
Yessss!!! Im in the middle of reading Whispers in the Dark and loving it!!! Can’t wait for more books!!!
Such good news !!!! Cant wait for the other KGI books to be released !!
Thanks for the update Maya and thanks for the info on the latest one that you posted on Facebook yesterday. I’ve bought it, but haven’t started reading it yet. Thanks for all you do!
Sharon
I’m waiting for Rusty’s book. :) I can’t wait to find out who she ends up with…one of the brothers, Sean or one the team members?
I am voting for Sean!
Rusty & Sean are PERFECT for each other!
I knew it would be Reo : -) please hook up Swanny. Poor guy needs a woman! I would about bet on it that Joe also has a connection to Shea ;-) one can dream, right. Hehe
Oh wonderful news! And I desperately want Swanny’s story to be written, and Rusty and Sean too!!! ;)
Yes! Please continue to write about these guys. Totally have fallen in love with them. Swanny definitely needs a HEA heck they all do. Thank you for sharing them with us!
I cannot wait for Donovan’s book! It will take a remarkable woman to get him away from his computer long enough to fall in love!
Yay!
Can’t wait! I just got KGI 4 and I’m dying to read it, but I’m still in the middle of another book (I’d like to finish it so I don’t get confused by reading two books at once).
I definitely hope that Rusty’s story will be somewhere down the line. I still believe in my heart of hearts that she’s destined to wind up with Sean (another one of Ma Kelly’s strays).
YAY!! Awesome news. Whispers in the Dark is loaded on the Nook for reading while I’m waiting in court today :).
I’m dying for something from Rusty…and hopefully a cute local law man, Maya, you are the best!
I’m the same way, Mary — I don’t know why I have been wanting to read Donovan’s story so bad… but I have. HEE HEE! :)
just finished whispers gotta say i loved it i cant wait for more on these guys. just one question did anyone pickup on that she changed seans name to seth or was there something im missing.it at rustys grad ceremony it tock me a while to try to figure out who seth was. anyway gotta say this again maya i love everything youve written
I did notice the Seth/Sean mixup, but I have an ARC and thought maybe it was just a printing error in there.
I read it in paperback and sure enough, Seth instead of Sean. I didn’t even notice when I originally read it!
hettieanne, it was a typo and completely my fault! In this instance Seth = Sean. Just clumsy fingers and I didn’t catch it when I reviewed the ARC
thanks for clearing that up still gotta say i loved this book and cant wait for more you are my favorite author and cant wait for more
So glad to hear you plan on keeping the series going. Can’t wait to get my hands on Whisper’s in the Dark
I love this series! I also cannot wait to read Donovan’s story, but how tall is he? In each book it talks about how he is the smallest, but is that small like he is only six foot or small as in really short? I’m not sure why it matters, but it is driving me crazy.
gonna buy the new one! yeah,would be nice to read dusty’s story..also hope it’s sean…love the kelly family…!! they all need love!!
Just read whispers in the dark, could not put it down.Totally awesome. Read it in less than 24 hours.I am totally a fan of the KGI series, not into the historical novels and have to wait for the next in series but well worth it. I am glad that you are writing about the team members as well as the Kelley’s which means the series will continue for a long time.
I am hoping that one of the books will be on Steele great character.
Well got to go, I am rereading whispers in the dark again since it was so so good.
I also am anxious for a book about Steele…
Just finished Whispers at Dark. Preordered on my K and had it read in two hours. Totally love the book. Wish Echoes at Dawn would release sooner. But already have it preordered for my K. Can’t wait to read more of this amazing series!
is this the book u said would be m/m/f ;)
Great news!! I am looking forward to read about Steel. He is so quiet and is making me crazy to know more about him. Love PJ and Cole and looking forward to read Rio and Grace story.
I just finish Nathan book and love it. You did a awosome job and it was very emotional.
I just knew they would hook up!! Can’t wait!!
Whispers was fantastic! Nathan was a great surprise. This is the kind of storyline I would have imagined for Donovan. You did not disappoint! I love catching up with the brothers. Swanny MUST have his own book. There’s a good story there. I just know it! Keep up the good work. You’re amazing!
Love this book! You are an incredible writer. So glad there will be more books. I love this series.
Ooooo, I’m so excited for all of the above!!!!
Hi Maya,
I too have just read the kgi book 4 an it was awesome indeed. I am looking forward to Donovan story. also the other brother Joe as well. Nathan story really touch my heart an made believe in good ole fashion romance again.
Donna Crenshaw
Just finished book 4…loved it, of course. Cannot wait for the Rio/Grace story and hopefully lots more to come. I’d really love to see something with Rusty/Sean and definitely Swanny. Keep up the great writing and looking forward to your next Sweet Addiction series as well!
Yea!! Whispers at Dark was fabulous!!! I’m so looking forward to more from these guys (and gals :-D)
SO EXCITED! I just started KGI # 4 (because I had to reread the first 3, natch) and love Nathan and Shea’s story. Can’t wait for Rio, and Cole/PJ and the whole lot of them! I agree with a lot of other fans – will be very interested to get to Van’s story, I think he’s my favorite (but, shhh, don’t tell the others ;) ).
I LOVED Whispers in the dark! The connection between nathan.and.shea was amazing. I can’t wait for the one!please don’t stop writing the KGI series. I sooo need Vans story!!!You are my favorite!
I am in the middle of the book and I did not know you were making one of the books m/m/f. Joe should get his own book and it should be with Rusty. Cant wait until the next book.
I feel I should step in before rumors get started lol. I have never at any time said that one of the KGI books would be m/f/m I have no plans to include that storyline in the KGI series. The only m/fm books I’ve done or will do are in my erotic contemporaries which is in a whole different format.
So the answer to that is no. Definitely not!
Glad to hear it, I love the KGI books, but M/F/M is NOT my thing! I love this series, can’t wait for the next one even though I am not quite done with Nathan’s story.
Haven’t you planned a m/f/m for Tart??! That spinn off for the Sweet series would also fit, wouldn’ it?!
Tart is Lauren Dane’s story :) I do have m/f/m stories but they are published in trade as erotic romances. My historicals and my KGI series won’t ever feature the erotic elements that my erotic romances do.
Sorry, got it mixed up, because you are publishing that book with her! Love both you novels though;-))
I love all the Kellys brothers and Marlene’s “chicks”.Nathan and Shea have me waiting anxiously for Rio and Grace. I thought for awhile we’d get a P.J. / Rio story, but P.J / Cole really sounds interesting. I’ve got to start reading slower, maybe that way the wait between won’t seem sooo long.
I love all of your books, but the KGI Series are definitely my favorite. Please don’t stop writing them, at least until you get to Rusty. I’m secretly hoping that she and Swanny will end up together :)
OMG Keep going! I love the KGI series and can’t wait for the others!! I just started Whispers at Dark yesterday and can’t put it down. I even sneak some reading time at work. I’m also really glad your including the other team members they deserve their own story also. Keep it up!
This is just one of the series I love from you. And I am wondering if you are going to write a book with Rusty and Sean as main characters? And I can’t wait for the next one.
I Absolutly love Maya’s books, KGI is one of my favorits. I can’t wait to find out about Rusty!!! To see wich brother she ends up with.
O.K. I almost forgot about Sean!! Him and Rusty would make a good match.
Your books are great and I’m really looking forward to the sequels! Don’t forget books about Rusty and Steele; would be interesting to meet the woman you pair off that block of ice with. How about Rusty joining KGI?!
By the way: the sneak peek of Sweet Addiction was hot!!!
Great Books will be looking forward to reading all the Books in this KGI series,just finished reading Whispers at dark could not put it down….You have become one of my most favorite authors…Thank you
Stayed up most of the night to finish reading Whisper in the Dark! It was an amazing book absolutely loved it. I am so glad to hear that you are going to write about the team members also. I agree with most other who have posted Donovan needs someone very strong to keep his interest. Can’t wait to read Rusty and Sean’s story.The books cannot come out fast enough if you ask me. Thanks for the wonderful stories you give us, love your writing!
Just finished the newest KGI book about Nathan and Shea. I love the series and the story evolving around Shea and Grace. Now Icahn wait to read the next book. Please thing about releasing the a electronic version as soon as is ready!
I just finish Nathan’s book and it was amazing. Excited for books #5 and #6, especially #6! Also I agree Tawnya, I think Rusty and Sean would make a wonderful couple:)Can’t wait for more KGI novels!
I love,love,the KGI series. I just finished the4th book and I cannot wait for the next one!!! I also read the Mc Cabe trilogy and loved that series just as well. I read a lot of books by several authors and Maya Banks is now my favorite!!! Thank you for your wonderful stories and please keep writing: )
Thoroughly enjoy Whispers in the Dark, it is great, and the other KGI books.
I just finished Whispers in the Dark and it was an awesome read. I read it in two sittings. Started it on Friday and finished it today at 3am west coast time. Although I need to get some sleep, I just had to take the time to let you know I really enjoyed this book. I am looking forward to seeing what will happen between Grace and Rio. Your books are always fantastic reads. Thank you for keeping me entertained.
I just have to say I have read all 4 books to the KGI series and I absolutely loved them. I am hooked I can not wait for Rio’s book really looking forward to it. Just to let you know how into your KGI series I am I read the Nathan’s book in a day lol it was that good to me I couldn’t put it down I just had to know what happened next. Thank you for the awesome books look forward to reading more
I just finished Whispers, and it was beautiful. Loved the storyline, loved how Nathan and Shea interacted. It was emotionally satisfying how you ended the story. I love that you don’t rehash the other characters story lines greatly. Just have enough to give background. Excellent work. I look forward to all the KGI books, wish they came out faster. I don’t care what order comes out on them, I just want them out. LOL. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
Hi Maya!
I just read your sneak peak to Sweet Addiction……oh my god I cannot wait. I know it’s gonna be one of those books that I read over and over again….pretty much like all of your books. Can’t wait for the next KGI book either. When I was reading the part where Rio volunteered to go after Grace…..it gave me goosebumps…(how he just stared at the monitor of her). Just shows what a amazing writer you are when even the little things can mean or have a effect on your readers.
My legs are all fidgety and anxious waiting for your next books…hahahaha.
Mary
Oooh I just KNEW there was something simmering between PJ and Cole! A whole year seems a long way from now but in the meantime, I’ve got #4 to finish up and #5 to ease the wait. Can’t wait to see what PJ has in store for Cole!
Yes!
Just finished reading Whispers, and I have to say…
You’ve done it again Miss Maya.
Is it July yet? What about January? ;)
Am truly looking forward to Rio & Grace’s book, as well as Joe, Van, Rusty and everyone else’s, the one I honestly am dying to read about is Steele!
Also, so where exactly can we find guys like this? What is not to love?! They fight and stand for their country, they love each other & their families unconditionally. And they laugh! I want one! :)
Gee, rereading my post, one might assume I actually like this series. :D
I agree. I love this series and am seriously addicted.
I just finished whispers in dark & loved it I really thought grace would get with swanny in next book since she saved him and all so I’m confused about the choice of Rio. Can you say anything about your choice?
I love the KGI series! I think that it is great that you are writing about the team members as well as the brothers. I am looking forward to reading lots more about the Kelly’s and the other KGI members.
Love Love Love Love this Series. I enjoy all of your books but Love the KGI Series……..I can’t wait until summer for the next one…..keep them coming :)
I can’t to read the next KGI book I was hoping Van and Joe would get a story its a great series!!!
Yay!!!! I have read all of your books, but I have really fallen in deep love with this series. I think I have read each one at least three times! I am so excited that there are going to be more books. Can’t wait for this summer! Thanks for sharing such wonderful stories with us.
Just finished reading Whispers(in fact early this a.m. at like 1am) and it is fantastic like all the others! I was obsessed with reading it. Cannot wait for the next ones but that will only force me re-read the previous books. Keep up the great work and I will put the next books on my calendar to buy.
Wow! I love this series. I cannot wait for Rio and Grace’s story. I can’t wait to see how Grace handles Rio. :)
Like Christine (comment #51)said above where can I find one of these guys?
Just finished Nathan and Shea’s book I have to say this was probably my favorite in the series so far!!! Just wondering if Steele is going to get a book? fingers crossed! keep writing kick ass novels you make life better for me lol!!!
Yes! Finally, someone who wants Steele’s story as bad as I do! Cannot wait.
I totally agree with you and rusty would be good with steele.
I love the Kelly brothers and family and am already champin’ at the bit for #5. I see you will be writing about Cole & P.J. and Van and Joe…but what about Rusty? I sure hope you consider giving her a happily every after. Again, I love our writing and can’t wait for more!
Christy Im also looking forward to Rusty story as well but Im thinking we have time now that she is going off to college…..but I think after college she also should join the armed forces…a branch none of the other Kellys are members of
I never thought of the possibility of Rusty in the military. hmmmm.. maybe she can become the first kelly girl in KGB? That would be super cool.
Just finished your Whispers in the Dark. Couldn’t put it down!!!! This was one of the best of the KGI series and I have loved them all. How long do we have to wait for Rio and Grace’s story?
Just finished Whispers In The Dark. I can’t believe we have to wait until January 2013. Here’s to hoping time flies. Can’t wait to read about Rio and the rest of the guys. Also I am wondering who Rusty’s love will be.
Loved Whispers now can’t wait for the next one and the one after and so forth. Keep up the excellent writing.
I love the KGI series. Please continue to write about them all. I can’t wait til JUNE–can you write faster?
I SO love KGI series and I am so thrilled that you’re writing more of it other than the Kelly brothers. I hope you’re going to write a story about Steele, he’s a character that is certainly intriguing.
More power, Maya and may you have a blessed new year.
Hi Maya ,
I just finished reading Whispered and I had to come to your site to see if Grace was next in the series. Glad to see I get to read her and Rio’s story in July. Keep them coming ,love the series.
I’ve read some of your /older/ books, but I just finished reading your newest, Whispers in the Dark, and I’ve gone and bought all the other KGI. That’s how much I enjoy this series :)
and yes Please! Don’t forget Van! mmmmmmmmm,hmmmmmm :D
I know I’ll enjoy the story between Cole and PJ, grin, but I wish Donvan had come before them :D /hehe selfish me/
I loved the description, when Rio was first ‘introduced’ to Grace. While I was reading, I could almost see “his ears prick up”, and after reading about his jungle home, I can’t wait for him to finally meet the “real” grace :D this is going to be so good.
Thanks for sharing your creativity!
Maya, I was recently introduced to your KGI series. I must say I’m positively hooked! I have read all of the books up through Nathan’s in just the past week and I can’t get enough of Kelly and company! It’s such an intriguing series; I really appreciate how you weave the entire family into it as well. I have to admit, ever since I read the first one I was looking forward to reading Donovan’s story most of all. I’m kind of sad that his novel won’t even be one of the next two. But on the upside, I love that you’re expanding beyond just the Kelly family! Rio will be great, and I can’t wait to read the banter between P.J. and Cole. I’m definitely looking forward to more from this series and I’ll have to check out the rest of your stories as well. :) Happy writing!!
why pj and cole i think pj and steele i would love to see that. but you are there mistress.( misstress in a good way)
I love your KGI series. I am an aspiring writer and do not get as much time as I would like to read anymore. But I always make the time to read your new KGI books. I have fallen in love with your characters and hope that some day I have a quarter of your talent.
And just in case you do a contest for the ARC of Echos At Dawn, I would LOOOOOVE to get a hold of it. Happy Writing.
I’m in the process of finishing Whispers in the Dark…. the 2nd time in 2 days ;] It got me through many hours on the elliptical, and just sitting on the couch. I love the entire series thus far, and after I read a new one, I always say ‘That’s my favorite’, but I have got to say, WITD is by far my favorite. By far. I loved it so very much; I can’t wait for books 5 & 6, as well as the rest of the brothers/Rusty (it’s going to take a very strong guy to get with Rusty….).
As soon as I’m done with WITD (again), I plan on re-reading the entire series ….. even though Sam’s is currently MIA; I will have to search high and low for it (because that was my by-far favorite before WITD)!
…and just to add; in re: to an above comment: the chemistry between PJ and Cole is on fire. I absolutely cannot wait until 2013!
I so agree. He will try to protect her and she will kick his ass. I can’t wait.
i love this series! i can’t wait for shades of gray or Rusty’s story! your he best Mrs.banks
I think that Steele and Rusty should be together. Yeah in the first couple of books you had us thinking that PJ and Steele would be together but Rusty I think is a much better match for him. Also Rusty needs a strong guy she can count on and that is none other than silent, handsome Steele.
thanks for that thought arielle. i’m now rooting for rusty and steele.
Bahahahha, I have two older brothers and they intimidate guys i dated. Man can you imagine how overprotective and awkward that would be for Steele? I think they would make a great couple regardless
Arielle,
I agree with you. Rusty and Steele boy how the sparks will fly. Great thought.
Julie
Me too!
Really Steele???? Im thinking he may be a little to old for her…I dont know Im thinking the sheriff
Really Rusty and Steel???? I was thinking more Rusty and the sheriff
Yeah, but that would be even more unbelievable given that Marlene has dubbed both of them honorary members of the Kelly family. That would almost be like a brother dating his sister…..awkward.
yea, but rachel was the same way, plus sean is protective of her and closed enough in age 2
Just finished reading Whispers in the Dark. I have to say it is my favorite so far. July seems so far away. Shades of Gray will be my birthday present to myself. Can’t wait!
I have just finished Whispher in the Dark and can’t wait for the others. I have also finished the Colter series and look forward the next one. Does it matter which order I read your books/series? The series I read in order, lol. I love your writing and look forward to more in these series that I have just finished.
Have you read the Sweet series? I, too, love the KGI best but this series may tide you over.
Having trouble waiting for your next KGI. SO, now I am halfway throught the first book in your scottish historical series. Love it! Just want to say I had kinda thought you might pair Rusty with Sean Cameron. The sparks already fly between them!
Maya,
I read Whispers In The Dark. I loved the book. Couldn’t put it down. So I had to purchase the whole series. I couldn’t wait to get to the next book. They were all awesome. I really love how each book intermingles with each other. I can’t wait to read about Grace and Rio. Keep the books coming. Love them all…..wonderful! Wonderful!!!
Thanks for making reading enjoyable.
Julie
Whispers In The Dark is Great. This my favorite series. I cannot wait for Steele’s story. I pray to God it is not with Rusty-that girl seriously gets on my nerves. Love the supernatural twist in this new KGI book and hope to see more with Grace and Rio. Keep ’em coming!
P.S. I still love Rachel and Ethan the best!
Love your KGI series can’t wait for the next to come out
love the series great work
so glad you are including the team members…your books pull you in and make you feel like the characters are family!! It’s hard to put it down!!
i absolutly love this series i cant put it down im looking foward to the fucture books
I Love the Kelly Family. Would kind of like to see something written about the misfit sister that was taken in and also the parents. They are always big parts of the previous books.
I love your KGI series. Ethan and Nathan’s story are my two favorites. I think that’s because their women interacted with the brothers more than in Garret’s story. Can’t wait for the next book. I hope Van’s story is coming soon.
Maya…
I love the KGI series! They have a great balance of suspense and passion and are wonderfully written, unique story plots. I hope that you will be including Rusty and Sean in your plans for future books. I can’t wait until July for the next book to be released!
I’m a new fan, I picked up Whispers in the Dark and once I started reading couldn’t put it down. I immediately decided I needed to read the prior books, such a great series. I’ve put July 3rd on my calendar for the release of the next book and will have to add January date for PJ and Cole. I too would like to see a book about Steele. I’m so glad to have found your books.
i simply love your books, the details are great, the interaction with characters are believable. i can almost fit sounds to the words in my head. we are truly blessed to have the KGi series, but i must admit I love all your books. I don’t believe Steele and R usty are a package, I can’t wait to read Rio’s story, as well as BJ and Coles. Ethan story is the most memorable so far for me. please never stop, don’t get bored with the series, let them live show us what life will bring them.
I love your books…I am so glad you are writing about the team also!! Yippee are you finished them yet! Lol Donna
The KGI series is wonderful. I am anxiously awaiting Grace and Rio’s story. Please keep dreaming and thinking and typing, I really enjoy the results.
I just got done reading whispers and let’s just say July can’t get here fast enough!! And of course January. So excited, can’t wait!! Maya, I love you and your books they give this teacher a way out of reality and into another adventure with twists and turns !! Keep up the good work !
Love the Sweet and the KGI series and well as the Colters with the KGI series between the Kellys and their team as well as the strays the momma Kelly takes in there will be plenty of stories of the KGI series for Ms Banks to write about…I think its time for baby Charlotte to get some playmates lol
love your series. you are without a doubt my favorite author. love reading your individual books but your series KGI, Coulter and Sweet also keep me surfing your website for next installment. Keep writing and I’ll keep reading. Love how your characters interact with each other and previous characters appear in next books so that readers can follow their lives. THANKS!!!
I’ve just finished whispers in the dark , all I can say is wow! think it’s my favourite book so far. I love the Kelly brothers and all the other characters and am now on a countdown for the next book.
Thanks Maya for fabulous books :)
Please write for Rusty!!!!! She is always my favorite secondary character in the books!!
Please don’t let her be with anyone we have already met. I love the whole older brothers/sister thing. Really want that in the book!!!
Love the series can’t wait for Rio’s book in July thanks for writing such great characters.
Maya, what you do to me, I find myself counting down the days to your release dates.Your books are like chocolate to me, got to have them. I love the KGI series and I’m looking forward to Rio and Grace (which can’t get here soon enough). I love PJ and can’t wait to see how her story with Cole unfolds. However I’m waiting for Donovan to fall, it would be a hoot if the woman he falls for hated technology.
I am waiting for Donovan also, it made me laugh to think of him falling for a woman who hated technology. I think that’s a great idea!
so excited for PJ and Cole story, I was wondering when it will be them. Their chemistry rocks and yes by far my favorite book is WITD. I can’t wait i’m growing impatient until july and jan gets here. I just know I’m going to pity and love Grace even more. Way to go with this KGI series
I love the KGI series. Am looking forward to July and the next installment in this series and also Jan. 2013 release of #6. I am really looking forward to one about Donovan. I love all the characters but I particularly liked Garrett. Steele will also be an interesting character.
I have only recently “discovered” Ms. Banks by reading WITD. OMG! I was totally blown away. One of the most heart-wrenching and poignant stories I have ever read. I promptly bought the previous KGI books and loved them all. But so far WITD is my favorite. Can’t wait for the next in the series. Isn’t anybody but me hoping that Swanny gets his HEA? Maybe not a whole book but at least as a secondary character. He deserves it. Guess I’m going to have to try some of the other series to tide me over while I wait for KGI #5. Ms. Banks, you rock!!
Have finished Whispers now (for the third time) and I’ve gotta say, as much as I love the whole series, this is my new favorite. **Of course, I think I may have said that following each of the others as well** Can’t wait for Rio and Grace’s story this summer (is it me, or does July just seem like forever away?) ;) And no doubt I’ll be saying something similar while waiting for next January to roll around for Cole and PJ’s escapades.
Please, please, PLEASE do NOT put Steele with Rusty!I have been totally infatuated with Steele since book 1 and can hardly wait for you to create his story. However, I feel that Steele needs a special woman- a sweet, soft, gentle woman that will melt his heart of stone (or steele as the case may be) and bring out the gentleness in himself(while remaining kick ass tough,of course.) Furthermore, I am not really interested in Rusty at this point in time as she is far too young for her “forever” romance, and I would not be interested in reading about a teenage romance. And I agree with an earlier post, the heros of these books are all too old for her (except MAYBE Sean in a few more years). I love these stories and I love the characters that you have given life to and am especially intrigued by Steele! I am looking forward to Donovan’s story as well. He’s so lovable. So keep up the great work, you’ve got us all waithng impatiently for your next KGI creation!
I agree with Roxanne … I love all of them but there’s something about Steele ! He needs a sweet woman with a streak of wild that he just can’t stop thinking about lol
I totally agree with Roxanne….that Steele should not be match up with Rusty…I can definitely see Rusty matching up with Sean after the stories are told of the others….I can see Sean fighting his feelings for Rusty because he has known her since she end up at the Kelly household…but in the end love always wins….
OMG THST IS THE BEST IDEA EVER!!!! I WOULD LOVE 2 SEE THAT!!!
Yes!!!!!! I’m glad someone else saw it as I did Sean and Rusty lol
Ps… Since Donavan has this thing with children I wonder if the woman he ends up with will have a little child ???
Maya, you are an inspiration to me. I have read and loved every book released in the KGI series, but there’s one character that partically stood out for me and yes, that was Steel. He’s just so damn mysterious, quiet, but you know that he’s a warrior!
I totally agree with Roxanne and Becca. He needs a woman that’ll challenge him out of his shell, clash with him, but also support and love him for the kind of man he is. That’s definitely not Rusty, though I am intrigued by what her story would be. I know you have no intention of pairing her up with any of the Kelly brother’s, or Sean for that matter, because he’s practically another of Mrs K’s though not by blood. I simply don’t see him and Rusty connecting and none of the books have led me to the conclusion that they’ll form some kind of romantic relationship. I think Rusty it’s possible Rusty’s man will be of in some connection to the KGI team and I look forward to seeing if I’m right as she grows through each book you write and have published.
I am now looking forward to reading Rio’s story, as I get the sense he’s hiding something and I deeply would like to know what! And onto PJ and Cole’s story, who I think would make the perfect couple!
I can’t wait to read Cole and PJ’s story. The sparks have been flying off those two for so long, it is starting to look like the fourth of July.
I have always thought that Rusty and Sean should be together. She needs to grow up of course, but whose two are made for each other. But in the end Maya will do it right, if Sean is not the man for Rusty then she will find the right man for her.
I agree about Rusty and Sean. Those two have chemistry, even if she is way too young for anything to happen. Everyone else is definitely too old, and won’t understand her. To be honest, I think Sean would “get” her, once he got past the shock of realizing what was between them. That’s just my opinion though.
Rusty and Sean should be a couple for sure. Yeah she’s young and he’s a tad older but as they saying goes “age is nothing but a number”… I can’t wait to see the secrets that lie behind the tough badass exterior of P.J I’m excited to see Cole detroy her wall of defensives and show us what she’s really all about, and I
can’t wait to figure out why she left SWAT! I also hope you write about Dolphine and Renshaw too. Oh! Oh! and let the other kelly women have some babies. as well. Maya your a freaking genius and I can’t WAIT to see what you come up with. Never, NEVER stop writing.
I have been thinking about a twist that the KGI series could have. A woman determined to get her revenge after the death of her sister from the top drug lord in Columbia goes to KGI for help. She has skills, skills that KGI could eventually use if they work together as a team. However they are uneasy about this woman all of the sudden appearing and asking for their help and not sure how she knows about them. Turns out Resnick was the one who sent her to them. They decide not to help her at first and KGI is sent on another mission.. the twist.. They are on the same mission that the woman is on in Columbia taking down the same man. The brothers are shocked trying to figure out who this woman is and what is her motive. Steele takes a interest in her seeing a determined woman willing to fight for what she believes is right; impresses him with her skills and captures his heart.
Things go bad as the woman is ambushed, overpowered and taken into the compound of the drug lord, and Steele is relentless to get her back.
Totally agree, had exactly the same idea just with less of a plot twist. I think you need someone totally kick-ass for Steele, someone who’s a bit hard around the edges. Also for some reason can picture him with someone British! Can’t wait for the other books!
I just finished the entire KGI series and I loved every one! Every time I decide one of the brothers is my favorite another does something to change my mind :) I can’t wait for the new books but I really want Donovan’s story. Another fan suggested that a woman who hates technology would be funny, I think that’s hilarious! I definitely see Sean and Rusty together, as much as they get on each others nerves in the beginning you can see them coming to like and respect each other, and Sean is becoming protective of her. You can see her coming back from college much more mature and self-confident. And Swanny has to have a story! Love all these characters!
In LOVE with the KGI series.. can read ’em over and over and over again… can’t decide which story i love more… eagerly waiting for PJ and Cole’s story, of course Rio and Sarah… definitely want Sean and Rusty to hook up (at least i hope they hook up.. sometime in the far future)… and Steele! looking forward to seeing what turned him into a machine.. and who’ll bring out his emotions.. and then there’s Swanny and Dolphin.. plus Joe and Van… its never ending and im loving it!! You Rock Maya!.. don’t stop writingg…
definately Swanny needs someone after what happened to him in the fourth book.. he is so self conscious of his scars poor guy. And I also stick to my idea about Steele in a previous post. He needs a hard core chick to win his heart of “Steel” :)
I actually think Rusty would be the better option for Swanny. After what happend, he’ll need someone who’ll engage him, challenge him. Rusty may mature in the years to come, but I hope she doesn’t lose that feiry spirit of hers. It would definitely be explosive between her and Swanny!
I was just wondering if there are going to be books for the other Kelly brother’s: Joe and Donovan?
how about one of the KGI crew falling in love with an africanamerican
how about one of the KGI crew falling in love with an africianamerican
I just finished all books in about 6 days, I could not put them down. I think it would be interesting to have the woman decide to take a girls trip that turns into hostage situation, forcing them to overcome their tarmatic pasts to save alive. All the while the brothers work to rescue them. It would be interesting twist. I bet Rachel, Sophie, Sara and Shea could kick butt. To see how far the brothers would go to get the back and protect them would be fun.
I love all of the KGI books. I have just finished book 5. I’m not sure how I feel about Rusty and Sean being together. Sean maybe to older for her. Maybe Rusty could be recruited by the CIA or some other black ops agency/group at college. I remember she was introduced to Kelly’s by breaking into their home. She bypassed their security system. So she has some type of skills. She could be an agent for years and meet someone while working a mission for CIA. She was captured and govt isn’t going to get her out. The agent/black ops guy would go to the Kellys for help. The Kelly’s would not know she was an agent until they had to go rescue her. This could work.
But I’m looking forward to all future books in the KGI series.
OMG I COMPLETELY AGREE. THE SECOND I SAW THIS I FREAKED OUT ‘CAUSE I’VE THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING, THAT RUSTY WOULD SECRETLY SIGN UP WITH THE GOV AND USE HER AWESOME SKILLS. THAT NOBODY WOULD FIND OUT TILL SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED TO HER. I HOPE THERE WILL BE A STORY FOR HER AND CAN’T WAIT TO READ MORE!!!!!!!
Maya,
Thank you for creating characters that we all love to see win love in the end. Garrett will always be my favorite!
I am so looking forward to Book #5. Since it is due out in just a few days I am re-reading the series to refresh. I read Ethan and Rachels story yesterday and Sam and Sophies story today. I noticed in E/R story that Donovan went on a mission to rescue a child. Sam told him to “put his stuff away”. Now in S/S story we see Rio interact with Sophie and telling her that she reminds him of his sister that passed away when she was pregnant…Could there be a connection????
Rusty needs to have her own story that doesn’t involve anyone currently with KGI or Sean.
Maybe someday we will get to read Frank and Marlenes story!
Oh! I can not wait until Shades of Gray. I have been wanting Cole and PJ to get together from the every beginning. I am so glad you did it. I also have to agree that I would love to see Sean and Rusty to get together.
The KGI series has quickly become my favorite- I can read them over and over again. Whenever I hear that someone is looking for a good series to dive into I always suggest this one. I just finished Rio’s story and loved it. I am especially excited for Donovan’s story! (Donovan and Sam intrigue me the most) Steele’s will be another fun book to read, I have a certain plot line made up in my head that is similar to Rio’s without the paranormal twist but I am sure Maya will find a way to shock everyone and deliver another fantastic piece to the puzzle that is the Kelly clan. Here’s to hoping there are many more books to come in this series! *Joe, Donovan, Steele, PJ & Cole, Sean & Rusty and possibly Diego or Terrence??* There are just so many possibilities…
CAN’T WAIT TO READ THE PJ & COLE STORY. I THINK THEY WILL HAVE A SIZZILING ROMANCE. NOT TRYING TO PAIR ANY ONE UP, I’LL LEAVE THAT TO YOU MAYA, YOU DO IT SO WELL.I HAVE THROUGHLY ENJOYED YOUR KGI SERIES.

I know that you have a lot of other projects in the work, but as someone who can not wait for Donovan’s story, I would like you to make his story Top priority. I had this story line in my head that I just can not get out. I envision him falling for an African American whom he met when she was about 15 after being beaten by her white step father. She would be the reason he fights for women and children. However, not even his family would know about this as he felt dirty for falling for someone so young. When they meet again they will constantly be at each others throats as Van will still be fighting his feelings not to mention that his true Alpha side will come out to play.
I want Rusty to go into the military. Maybe Sean is older but maybe when she gets out the age difference isn’t so much!!! Can’t wait for the rest of the stories!! I love them. Sucks that January is so far away!!!
I recently discovered the KGI group a couple of months ago, and am I glad I did. I love the Kelly Family! The brothers are amazing, their women are great and being a forces wife I know just what they go through each time these guys head out.
I was totally sure Rusty and Sean were made for each other, both belonging to the family and at the same time not… Also there was that bit when he rescued her from the idiot teenager who wrecked her car. It had real potential :)
Can’t wait to what Grace’s rescue will be like. Just finished reading about Nathan and Shea. Its a little improbable but its so damn romantic.
I half thought it would be Joe for Grace, but obviously Rio has something going for her. Wonder who Joe will end up with? And Van? Love the geek in him as it calls to the geek in me… he must have a reason for that tenderness to the women and kids bit, but since they are all brothers, what did he experience that they did not?
Love the way you write Ms Banks, and look forward to reading more of the KGI.
i started reading your KGI books about 5 months i think they are the bomb i take my book with me every where i go.So keep writing them how often can a new book come out about every 5 months i got hooked on them.
I found this post whilst looking through search engines. Very extraordinary, because google tends to show relatively old results but this one is very latest! Anyway, pretty educational, particularly since this isn’t some thing many blogger tend to write some thing good about. Take care.
Well, this is my very first visit for your blog! We are a group of volunteers and beginning a brand new initiative in a community in the same specialized niche. Your blog provided us useful info to operate on. You’ve done a marvellous work!
I adore it how these articles release some wonderful info, so fascinating. Maintain it up, maintain it actual!
Not that I don’t want Rusty to rush with growing up but I really want her to have her own little story.Can’t you imagine how protective her six big brothers would be if she had a boyfriend? I thought i had it bad!Seriously even if its not her being married because shes too young for that…. If you have her share a story as an update with a couple who already had a story? Maybe you could have her taken by someone and the brothers and (yes Frank to) could join in the rescue? I really really really really want her to have her own little update story. PLEASESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE? I would be so happy Maya as she is my favorite character as i understand her.. By the way your books freaking ROCK! Happy holidays
I absolutely love the series. So excited to read Pj and Coles story. I noticed its out but I don’t have access to it because of where I live. I’d have to wait forever! before it shows up in the library or store (If we’re lucky).
I totally think Donovan’s story or even Steele should be paired up with a black woman. That’d be so awesome. It would totally suit Van for sure. So excited for the the next installments even though I haven’t got my hands one Shades of Grey yet. :p
Keep it up!
Were can i read shades of grey online??? Desp0 2 read this book!!=D Does any1 have this book???
I am so looking forward to a book on Steel, but I would really like to see a very strong willed woman for him. Someone who will pull is butt out of a fire that may have special powers to do it, something that would scare the crap out of him. Then turn around and give him triplet girls so that that marshmallow inner heart comes out to play. I see a very strong woman for him, but not Rusty I like the others thinks that she is still too young to come out and play.
???? ?? ??
Just finished sweet addiction. I’ve read all the books in this series. I absolutely hated the ending!!! For Ren to end up with both men turnedd my stomach. She should have been with Cole!! I do not like how both me dominate her to the point of being sickening!
