Beschreibung

Together in one volume for the first time, New York Times bestseller Penelope Douglas's two bestselling novellas in the Fall Away Series, full of intense emotion and smoking-hot passion...

Aflame Tatum Brandt finally has everything she wants. Acceptance to medical school, a circle of friends she would never replace, and contentment that every day is now hers.

All through high school, Jared Trent called the shots. He decided if she would be happy or sad, fearful or free. He owned her heart, and he played with it like one of his cars.

Never again.

Two years ago, Jared left town, and Tate's life is exactly where she wants it to be. Or that's what she tells herself...

Because two years ago, her heart also stopped beating, and no matter the success in school or the support of her friends, there's only one time every week she can feel that same rush in her blood: Friday nights on the track.

That's hers, not his, and to hell with anyone that gets in her way again.

Especially him.

Next to Never
Under the close watch of the men in her family, Quinn Caruthers has found it nearly impossible to spread her wings--or even date--without her three older brothers, Jared, Madoc, and Jaxon, jumping in to hover. And when a family friend--several years older--from her childhood still holds her heart, she knows they're going to be a problem. Lucas Morrow is a man, and knowing her brothers, he may as well be forbidden.

But years ago, Lucas left town and shows no signs of returning. Quinn knows she shouldn't wait for him anymore.

Until a package turns up on her doorstep with no return address and its contents reveal family secrets that threaten to turn her world upside down. She's never asked about the path of her parents' romantic history, but she soon learns their happy marriage had a very rocky and passionate start.

As she starts to see things around her with new eyes, Quinn will have to make tough choices about whether she'll keep waiting...or finally go after what she really wants.
*Please note: The Next Flame is not a new story. It is Aflame and Next to Never together in one book. For those readers who desired paperbacks of Aflame to complete their collections, this is it.

2 Novellen in einem Buch

Der ersten Novella würde ich ohne zu zögern glatte 5 Sterne geben. Das Buch hatte einfach alles was ich mir von einem Spin Off zu Tate und Jared gewünscht hatte. Die zweite Novella hat meine Aufmerksamkeit nicht mehr komplett beansprucht. Ich war Anfangs etwas durcheinander um was es hier jetzt eigentlich geht. Nachdem ich jetzt den Epilog beendet habe, bin ich mir fast schon sicher dass Quinn und Lucas noch Ihr eigenes Buch bekommen werden. Hier hat man eher viel mehr über die Geschichte von Jareds Mutter und Madocs Vater erfahren. Anfangs fand ich das recht uninteressant. Es hat sich aber als sehr gelungene Ergänzung entpuppt. Ich würde der zweiten Novella 3,75-4 Sterne geben. Generell gilt: wenn ihr Fan der Bully Reihe seid, solltet Ihr dieses Buch auf jedenfall lesen. Es hat mir sehr viel Spaß gemacht.

Aflame 2⭐️ Jared and Tate were never my favorite couple of the series and honestly? I didn't really need this part. What especially bothered me: Jared never had a good reason to leave Tate! Okay, it was to find himself, but he didn't have to leave for that and he definitely didn't have to leave Tate behind. Especially when you look at what exactly his career is! Also, I didn't think their reactions were quite right. As soon as Jared is back, she breaks up with the guy? Yeah, okay. He wasn't the one, but after all the bullshit Jared pulled, I would have expected more begging and effort. But since it wasn't all bad, I'll get to the positives here: I thought it was very cool to see how the characters evolved and that despite their change, they were still the same at their core. And Quinn was also a highlight! Next to Never 4⭐️ This was one of the best novellas I've ever read. Let's start with the positive things: I loved that Quinn was taken as the teenage protagonist. The whole relationship with her brothers and cousins was just beautifully done, and also gave the reader another insight into the children of the original protagonists. That was definitely one of my highlights! That we have learned the story of her parents together with Quinn? Brilliant idea! The only thing that didn't work for me was who exactly sent her the book. Somehow I don't quite understand the point, but that doesn't make the story any less good.

4.5 For some reason Quinn's story gives me a lot of feeling and makes me want to cry but it is quite important for the development of the story not only of her but of all
