The Next Always Should be Your Next Read

The Next Always should be the next romance you read. It's a contemporary story where a long-time crush becomes a love affair. The twist is that the guy has the long-time crush.

 Nora Roberts continues to satisfy  readers with appealing characters and tender moments.

P.S.  It's another trilogy.

When Susan and Drake Starr discover that their 20 year old daughter Kenzie is pregnant, their lives are turned upside down. The news sends Drake, a pastor of a huge San Diego church, reeling and he sends Kenzie packing. Susan finds herself caught in the middle. Does loving Drake mean cutting ties with her only child? What will this path mean for her daughter? For herself? When Susan seeks the refuge of a beach house, a secret from her past resurfaces. This is a captivating story of how Goda's mercy is evident when our foundations crumble.
