About this audiobook

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.

Ratings and reviews

I love this series so much! Next To Never was such a good ending to it. It threw me for so many loops as I was reading. I Half expecting Lucas to pop up at any moment only for the ending to come and conclude everything. I enjoy reading about Kat and Jases story having it fill in so many holes the other 4 books left. Definitely brought a great end to the series! Looking forward to reading the next steps in Quinns and the other kids stories! 10/10!
