I’m alternating between anger/frustration and swooning with Rade. Just tell Dylan what’s going on sooner than later and admit your feelings, man! Chloe needs to be taken out behind the chemical shed. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the rest of the story.
Next To Never is book one of the Shattered Innocence Trilogy so it does end in a cliffhanger but what a great start. Rade is a rich man who is used to getting whatever he wants and Dylan is what he wanted. Dylan was innocent and when she met Rade her life changed. This was an emotional read and that cliffhanger left me wanting more.
This is book one in the Shattered Innocence Trilogy. Meet Rade and Dylan, their story begins roughly as Rade is after the guy that stole millions from one of his companies and he has to go through Dylan to get to him. Dylan is in the middle of getting her life back on track when Rade shows up needing her help. Initially, this game of cat and mouse is about the end game of finding guy that stole his monies but things change. As Rade and Dylan get to know one another they both find themselves thinking and wondering about the other. What a great start to the trilogy. This book contains a roller coaster of events and emotions and we are just getting started. I cannot wait to read more. Enjoy!

If you are into dominant and submissive behavior then this is a book for you. The storyline also has a bit of suspense. The back and forth that Dylan and Rade go through is exhausting at times but I guess it goes with the behavior. It is well written, has the right bit of intrigue.

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.
This book is the first in the Shattered Innocence trilogy. This novel focuses on the relationship between Dylan Adams, a young woman mourning the recent loss of her fiancé, and Rade Matheson, a wealthy businessman who initially romances her while seeking information about the millions of dollars her fiancé stole from him but eventually finds himself drawn to her. The plot of the book is intriguing and the storyline includes drama, suspense, betrayal, unexpected twists and turns, and steamy sexual content. The book is well written, easy to read, and believable primary and secondary characters. This is the first novel I have read by A.L. Long and I found it to be a very good read. Beware, this book does end in a cliffhanger and the series is continued in the second book of the triology entitled Next to Always. I recommend this book for purchase.
