Seventeen-year old Sarah’s life is turned upside down when her single mom is sent to jail. She’s forced to move, leaving behind everything she’s ever known, including her best friend Sydney. Lost and bitter in a new school, her one goal is to save money and move back home. Then she meets Angel Moreno.
Enigmatic but gorgeous, Angel is almost too good to be true. Except for one thing, his archaic belief that guys and girls can never be “just friends”. The problem? Sarah’s best friend Sydney is not a girl.
With their unexpected romance intensifying to places neither ever experienced, how long can Sarah keep Angel in the dark about the guy waiting for her back home?

FACTS ABOUT THE MORENO BROTHERS SERIES
By Elizabeth Reyes I started writing Forever
Mine in the tenth grade. The first seven or so chapters were put away
into a drawer for many years. I finally found it one day and decided I needed
to finish it.
The Moreno Brothers was never
going to be a five-book series. In fact, originally it wasn't going to be a
series at all. I was just writing a love story about a high school senior who
had two brothers and several friends who falls hard for the new girl in school.
One story only.
When I finally finished Forever
Mine the first time, it was about ten chapters shorter than the final
everyone has read. After going back and finishing it, I put it away again
because something about the ending just wasn't doing it for me. I pulled it out
again two years later and rewrote the ending.
During this two-year hiatus, I did take it out and tweak here and there
so the whole gang was in my head all the time. But then I sat down finalized
the ending. Only then, when it was truly done, did I feel completely depressed
because I missed my characters. That was when I decided there had to be more.
When I decided there would be
more, it was The Moreno Brothers for
a reason. I was only going to write the stories of the three brothers, until
Sofia and Eric's story started to come to me as all my new stories come to
me—relentlessly, at night, and when I’m trying to sleep.
Sweet Sofie was supposed to be
a 30-40k word short novella. This was when I found out I'm incapable of writing
anything short. Consequently I've always said I was going to write Moreno
Brothers’ holiday novellas, but I'm afraid to even start because I'm certain
they will turn into full-length novels!
Romero's story was never
supposed to see the light of day. But I tell you once my readers plant the seed
the story takes on a life of its own. His story came to me slowly and then just
started to snowball and I had to write it. His by far has been the one I was most nervous about putting out there,
especially since he is so different from his more proper counterparts in the
series.
I've often mentioned that my
muse takes over all the time. This is
probably hard to believe, but some of the twists and sudden changes in the
plots take me by as much surprise as they do my readers. One perfect example of
when my thoughts actually made it into the narrative is when Angel is sitting
in his car watching Sarah and the coach talking in the bleachers. Try as he
might to stay calm about it he finally starts walking toward them. The very
next line after that happens is "He
had no idea what he was going to say or do, but even the voice in his head
couldn’t stop him." Okay, that voice? That was me! I sat up straight
as I often do when the story starts to write itself thinking WTH!? What's he
gonna do? LOL
(Whispers) I actually toyed
with idea of having Sofie leave Eric for Brandon. (Dodges tomatoes and eggs
from angry Eric loyalists.) But I didn't!! =D Still, I felt Brandon needed his
happily ever after, and that's why I'll be giving it to him very soon. Of
course, there will be a ton of turmoil, angst, and heart-stopping twists before
he gets it. Hey! If he wants it just like all my other guys, he'll have to take
it like a man! ;)
Many have mentioned enjoying
reading about these second-generation Morenos. There are still quite a few
first-generation stories that haven't been told, but let the record show that
the seed has been planted. ;)
I still crack up when I read
certain scenes in Romero, especially the ones with Manny and Max.
