Product Description
Quinn Caruthers has several problems: her father, Jason, and her three older brothers, Jared, Madoc, and Jaxon. Under the close watch of the men in her family, Quinn has found it nearly impossible to spread her wings-or even date-without them jumping in to hover. And when a family friend-several years older-from her childhood captures her heart, she knows they're going to be a problem. Lucas Morrow is a man-experienced, sophisticated, and important. And knowing her brothers, he may as well be forbidden. But Lucas left town years ago and shows no signs of returning. Quinn knows she shouldn't wait for him anymore. But then a package turns up on her doorstep with no return address and its contents reveal family secrets that threaten to turn Quinn's world upside down. She's never asked about the tumultuous path of her parents' romantic history, but she soon learns their happy marriage had a very rocky and passionate start. As she begins 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. Contains mature themes.
*Next to Never is a 60,000 word novella from Quinn's point-of-view. It is NOT her love story. That will be a full-length novel eventually. This story deals with some family history, introduces the new generation, and catches up with the original couples.

4.0Necesitaba hacer relectura de este libro puente para empezar a leerme la 2da generación y me ha gustado tanto como la primera vez me muero por ver la historia de Quinn y Lucas y la de Hunter y sin duda en algún momento tengo que releerme la saga entera ♥ "We all eat lies when our heart are hungry" ------------------ Wow this novella was an incredible journey because I expected something so different related with Quinn and Lucas but the real characters were Kat and Jase and since met each other until they can really be together so many things, so many thoughts and thanks to that story , the reader "us" leave us like Queen with the thought that you have to live everything, don't expect nothing just be and enjoy yourself, and of course that Kat and Jase's story was so incredible painful, intense, the true love the feels since the very first moment I didn't expect that liked so so much ♥ "A strong person tealizes that the only love you truly need in this life is the love you hace for yourself. If you have that, it's like armor. No one can stop you. No one else matters" And Hunter, Kade and Dylan? pleased kid be smart please choose well Kade is an asshole and Hunter has my heart already ♥ "Reaching out, he tips her chin up. You're Dylan Trent. They're scared of you. Don't forget that" And my favorite one is so true and so beautiful "Happiness is a direction, not a place"
