Just finished Next To You, the novel after Next Of Kin that intertwines some characters but also stands alone.
The story of Lane and Matt charmed me just as much as that of Chloe and Warren. The building of relationships and emotion among realistically flawed characters, just pulls a reader in. Some steamy spice doesn't hurt either.
Lane's character experiencing the long-supressed feelings of guilt related to the loss of her father adds depth. (No tears here. Nope!)
Recommended!
