I love the continuation of Dylan and Rade’s story. If be would just be upfront and stop trying to protect her from information. Rade creates much of his own anxiety. Dylan is a strong woman. I’m excited for the conclusion
Next to Always, is a story I enjoyed reading, it continues Rade and Dylan’s story. This story has a good plot and well-developed characters and they had good chemistry in the story.
This is book 2 in this trilogy and must be read after book 1. It continues where book 1 left off with the main characters once again going through so much. Looking forward to book 3.

This is book two in the Shattered Innocence Trilogy where the story of Rade and Dylan continue. Money and power are not everything in this world and Rade is realizing this. Rade and Dylan continue to evolve and learn about themselves and each other. This is not an easy journey as secrets are coming bubbling to the surface. How much more can Dylan accept? There is one secret that stands the chance to blow everything apart, will it? I am hooked on this story, I cannot wait to read the next book. Enjoy!

Rade and Dylan just can’t seem to catch a break with everyone trying to pull them apart. Another huge cliffy that was obvious with the way the information was building up around them. Rade was a bit slow on the uptake and he was starting to act like a victim instead of the take control kind of a guy he was. Dylan, who didn’t inspire much with her also being the naïve victim, was sweet with the knack of trusting the wrong people.
Not sure I want to read more about the awful drama brewing between Rade, Chloe, and Dylan. My bloodthirsty desire for revenge and retribution may not ever be satisfied!

I enjoyed the trilogy. I enjoyed the story, the development of their relationship, their struggles, as well as the heat and the hot sex scenes.
An EXPLOSION of TWISTS!
Speechless, heart pounding and pleading for more. A demanding read with head turning twists that will shake you to your core delight and render you speechless filled with excitement and eye popping explosive outbursts and don’t even think about putting it down because it’s an absolute twisted emotionally charged page turner until the mind blowing cliffhanger that has me flipping out screaming for more.
This is the second book of the Shattered Innocence Triology and continues the rocky romantic journey of Rade Matheson and Dylan Adams. At the beginning of this book, Dylan and Rade are separated due to the situation that occurred in the cliffhanger of book one, Next to Never. The secondary characters become more prominent and take on stronger roles in this dramatic, intriguing, and suspenseful novel. The second book continues the BDSM theme. This novel ends again in a cliffhanger setting up the plot for the final book entitled, Next to Forever. I strongly recommend the purchase of this book and other books in the triology.
