Review by Jen Hagen
Ms. Grant’s writing always takes on a direction that one does not see coming. She writes more than just your predictable romance and I enjoy the extra element of surprise/suspense that she adds into her stories.
We met Stone in the first book, and although he didn’t leave us with a favorable impression (at least to me), he had his reasons and after hearing them he has completely won me over. In fact, I think I fell in love with Stone Walker. I felt really bad for Stone that his best friend refuses to forgive him for a past mistake. It hurts Stone, but he keeps that pain hidden from everybody. After I forgave Stone I just wanted to yell at Brax, “Get over it, dude!” Seriously…he needs to let it go!
In the prologue we get a glimpse into Blue’s horrible excuse of a relationship with her boyfriend of 7 years. Blue has endured a lot in her years and she has grown into a strong woman because of everything dealt to her – her mom dying when she was 7, an absent father, foster care, abusive boyfriend, etc. The past 3 years have shown Blue a light at the end of the tunnel and as she finally has the opening coming into her view, she is forcefully pulled back into the darkness.
Stone and Blue met 3 years ago at a wedding of mutual friends. Here comes the tricky part…she is still living with Niko but meeting up with Stone as often as she can. This goes on for 3 years. I feel bad that Stone is the other man when he should be THE man. He is kind hearted and loving to Blue, but Blue always returns to her life with Niko.
Sure I probably could have done the right thing and never touched Stone until I found the courage to leave Niko for good, but I didn’t. I was in a vulnerable place. I longed to feel loved, to have a connection with someone who truly cared about me. That wasn’t an excuse by any means, however it was the God’s honest truth.
Stone’s heart was broken when Blue left the last time and did not return. In order to take his mind off of Blue he did things he now regrets; and hearing this next part is where I began to forgive Stone.
I was angry. Hurt. Out to seek revenge on Blue. When it was all said and done, I ended up making the biggest mistake of my f*cking life. And because of my stupidity, the friendship Brax and I spent years building, no longer existed.
What happens when Blue comes to town after an extended absence, this time staying for good? Is Stone going to forgive Blue for not contacting him when she returned or is he over her? Can you just forget the pain your heart bore and let the love flow through forgivingly?
“Tell me you are mine,” he demanded, his blue eyes full of need. “Tell me it’s just you and me and no one else. We can do this, Blue. I’ll do everything I can to make you happy.”
Stone and Blue are in their happy place…things are great…love is in the air... a few moments of “I think I know where she is going with this story” and then BAM! Ms. Grant hits us hard and I was left reeling.
I fell to my knees and grabbed a handful of my hair, fisting my fingers through my locks. Everything I believed in, everything I was told…it was lies.
While I did have a few questions going through my head at some of the blanks I felt were missing in the story, I do believe they will be answered in book 2. Too much information would not make it as suspenseful, and the way it is left I am questioning everybody whose name was mentioned – even people that should not even be considered. I have a very strong feeling that Ms. Grant is going to shock us hard with the truth. I look forward to the big reveal!

AMY'S REVIEW
4.5 STARS
“What’s this? Everything I promised you”. SOOOO GOOD!!! Stone & Blue’s story is a wonderful tale of second chance love. I was so happy to see this next installment in the Until You series. I have enjoyed the series so far and this book didn’t disappoint. It had so much lusty goodness and agnsty awesomeness that I was totally stuck on this book until I finished. The story location won me over as well and added to the sinfully magical relationship brewing.
Stone & Blue… troubled couple that had all the right chemistry but had the worst timing. They tried multiple times to make it work but were drawn away but circumstances beyond each other’s control. One chance meeting in a crowded restaurant gives them the push they both need to make another go at the relationship. Throw in some crazy friends and an even nuttier ex and this story heats up fast. I loved reading and watching their story blossom and grow.
From the steamy sexy times to the agnsty dangerous past, this book was a total winner for me. I was happy to continue the series and meet these new characters. I loved how J.R. kept some of the previous book’s characters and folded them in nicely to this story as well. Nothing was lost in the plot and it was extremely easy to follow. I was waiting for this book and now I am craving the next book even more!!
TATIA'S REVIEW
4 STARS
The title of this book could not be any better. It describes the heroine perfectly.
Blue has been broken for most of her life. Fate has not been on her side, not as a child, and definitely not as an adult with her long time boyfriend, Niko. When the opportunity arises, she's ready to leave, only Niko isn't willing to let her, not without a fight...literally.
Stone has tried to forget. Having been told that she'll come back, he's yet to see it. He's lost hope that it'll actually happen, until the one day he finds out that she actually did and that she's back for good. Before he can jump back in to this wild romance with her, he needs answers.
Blue and Stone just worked. There was no struggle, no forcing feelings; their connection was instant. It's been an on-again off-again romance for 3 years. When they're finally able to be together, will it be smooth sailing from there on out? Not if Niko has anything to do with it.
Drama, drama, drama. We get about two seconds to enjoy Blue and Stone finally being together before Niko starts coming back to haunt them. This story did not go the way I was expecting. I figured it would be a sweet story of two people finally reconnecting and living happily ever after. WRONG!! It threw me for a twist, especially the ending. I'll warn you that it does end with a cliffy, one that will leave you eagerly anticipating the next story to find out what happens.

Stone & Blue's journey is like a roller coaster. You never know who to trust or who's on your side. A gorgeous face and nice body might fool you, but the truth is always brought to light.
I had such a fun time writing this story. Although it was emotionally draining at times, Stone Walker was worth every hour I spent telling his story. Look for 2.5 in Always With You, the sequel to Stone and Blue's story early this summer.

OMG!!! What an amazing book!!! Seriously JR Grant you are a crazy talented writer!!!
Broken Until You is book 2 in the Until You series, with Lost Until You being book 1, which is also fantastic! We meet Blue & Stone very briefly in book 1 so that means that you will be able to read Broken Until You as a standalone book. Although, I highly recommend also reading Lost Until You because it’s a really amazing book!!!!
Blue has a really awful marriage. She finally manages to break away from her abusive husband for good even though it almost killed her. She has finally found a tiny bit of happiness in her life with a great job with her BFF, Jazz, and an apartment that she enjoys. Something that’s all her’s and she’s very happy to have it. She’s out eating dinner with Jazz when Stone comes over to say hi. She didn’t know he was there and the instant she see’s him she’s in his arms. Right where she’s always meant to be. Can she let Stone in for good? Will she trust him with all her secrets?
Stone doesn’t know if he can stand to walk away from Blue again. But if she walks away from him again he knows it will break him. He won’t recover. He knows how she feels about him. They’ve had conversations. However, he also knows she still has secrets. Her secrets keep pushing him away. He needs to break her and make her tell him everything. Will he find a way to make her understand that he’s not going anywhere? That he isn’t letting her get away again either?
Their story gets complicated when her x-husband finds her. She put him in jail and he’s out to get her. He’s always threatened her and now it seems he’s ready to cash in. Can Stone protect Blue and keep her safe? What happens when Stone fails to protect her?
Stone & Blue’s story is seriously epic. It’s heartwarming and heartbreaking, it’s love and passion and it’s understanding and protection. Can they join as one and fight their problems together? Or will Blue push Stone away again for his protection?
This story is amazing!!! You really MUST READ!!!!

I was provided a copy of the book by the Author for an honest review.
Wow really O.M.F.G. I Just finished reading this book, and let me tell you I love it, love the characters, but don't like the ending, really I don't think I could wait that long for the next book to find out what will happen. I have to say that this book had my emotions on a rollercoaster, but I love every single minute of it, I'm gone keep this short since I don't want to give anything away.
Ok if you read the first book in the series than you had met Stone, this is Stone and Blue story.
The story begging with Blue, when she tried to live her ex boyfriend, things didn't go so well he end up putting her in the hospital, now thirteen months later and her life was getting back on track, when she when out with her friend and co-worker on a Friday night, she was not expecting to see the man she felt in love with, Stone was surprised to see Blue and he knew that he was about to get his chance to find out why she never came back. But he was not ready to hear everything she when through, that's when he promised her that he will protect her no matter what, that's also when Blue past came back to the picture, will they survive what happened next.
I love the way how Stone and Blue are with each other, love it how Stone loves her with all her bagges that she have, and how he won't let that stop him from loving her, and the Sex Scene are Hot.
I really love and enjoy reading this book, Author J.R. Grant THANK YOU for introducing me to this awesome series and this amazing characters love it can't wait to read the next book.

3.5~4 stars
This is Blue and Stone's story and what a story it is. Blue is broken emotionally, physically and psychologically. She has been torn down for years at the hands of Niko. His threats and promises are the reason Blue stayed and her inability to want anyone else hurt. She has now spent the last year trying to put the pieces of her life together but along the way she never got over Stone.
Stone who played a good sized part in the last book is too broken because of the promise he was made that was never fulfilled. He doesn't know up from down and now his best friend hates him. To say tension is high would be an understatement.
Blue and Stone's story starts a number of years prior and he was always her safe place. Their occasional relationship took on a form all its own. Now that Blue is free, it is time for them to see if there is still something there. But there are obstacles and threats in the way, some we know about and some I don't think we do yet.
I had trouble with some of this book, Blue made me crazy with her constantly changing mind. I was also really put off by the timing of Brax and Stone's head-to-head. Then of course there was the end that I didn't expect and a number of unanswered questions. Over-all I read this book quickly as it was engaging and kept you wanting to know what now. There was suspense which I liked, Blue and Stone can heat up the pages but almost too much angst for my particular liking. That being said I am eager to see how their story is going to fleshed out.

Wow! This book had me turning the pages til the end and then left me yelling at my reader and Jamie because I need more NOW!! Seriously this story was so good and I loved seeing the love that Blue and Stone have for each other. If there were ever two people who deserve true love and acceptance it's them. Blue has survived and escaped a horrendously abusive relationship and just wants to be, but she is still haunted and scared. Stone on the other hand, is haunted by the loss of Blue from his life and when he finds her again he is determined that she will never run again or be hurt. But there are still dangers lurking for the two of them and I can't wait til Jamie finishes Always With You so we can see Blue & Stone get their happy!!
JR Grant always manages to give me so many feels with her characters and the flow of her stories. Broken Until You had great chemistry between Stone & Blue, you felt it as soon as they see each other again. It left me sad and fearful as we see some of the horrors that Blue has endured in her life, as well as watching how helpless Stone feels trying to be there for her. Then we have the dangers that are present and the unknowns about who is involved and if Stone and his crew can get to Blue in time. All in all this book was a wild ride of emotion and I can't wait to see what comes next!!

***ARC copy given in exchange for an honest review***
"No one knew the real me. The true Blue Hamilton. I was a broken shell lost in the big sea, just floating by."
There is just something about J.R.'s writing that just draws me into the story instantly. I couldn't wait for this book to come out since finishing Lost Until You. Poor Blue, living a life scared to death, looking over her shoulder every minute, wondering what's going to happen next...that's not a way to live for a beautiful young woman full of life. J.R. details Blue's feelings so well you can feel the nerves and anxiety of Blue. This book was a rollercoaster of emotions & I couldn't put it down!
"I placed one foot in front of the other, but my journey didn't begin until I took the first step."
Stone Walker...that man is just sex on a stick. The way he loves the way he protects....
"When that man loved, he loved with his whole heart and would walk Heaven and Earth to make those around him happy."
"All I knew was that as long as there was breath in my body, no one would ever hurt my girl again."
All the boys are back along with Jazz in this amazing book 2 of the Until You series!! I devoured it in less than a day and sooooooo can't wait for the continuation of Stone & Blue's story, even though I am silently cursing J.R. right now for leaving me hanging!
"No one knew the real me. The true Blue Hamilton. I was a broken shell lost in the big sea, just floating by."

Blue story is something no one wants to talk about it but this something ha touched so many, Blue has been physically and emotionally abused for years by Nico and has threatened to take her life so with her in a state already she stays to protect the ones around her. Some might says she a victim, how could she stay but we don't know what she is feeling, we have to remember she is so broken that she has to set herself free to live for her.
Blue sets of on a new chapter in her life, she walks into Stone's world and he wasn't prepared for what it would feel like to see her after all this time, Stone and Blue had an occasional relationship but they never forgot what they had. Will Stone be able to walk away from Blue again or will he fight.
Blue and Stone's story is a complicated one that is full of emotions, a ride that will have you guessing. With Nico behind bars Blue is trying to move on but with the threats that Nico has said and is willing to act on will Stone be able to protect Blue and will Blue let him?
J.R. Grant has out done herself with Blue and Stone's story, I really enjoyed this arc, it was filled with heartbreaking moments and your heart will do a turn around. This is about fighting for what you truly want and not letting it go. It's a must read, you will really enjoy this book from this author, it's by far her best

In true JR Grant's style she will put you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. As with the first book Lost Until You, Broken Until You pulled at my heart and kept a lump in my throat.
For Blue the fight and will to survive is what pushes her forward day after day. She has survived more hurt and heartache than anyone human being should be forced to be dealt, but still continues to overcome the odds. The one force that keeps her looking for that light at the end of the tunnel is Stone.
Stone dealing and overcoming his own demons has fallen for the one woman he longs to protect. When he thinks that Blue has lied to him, he is still unable to let her ghost of a memory go. On a sheer luck encounter their paths cross and he vows never again. But, he finds that sometimes fate is an evil force.
As I said before the push and pull of the waves will have you wondering if you will survive the tidal waves of emotions that will build up from this story. It is a romance that will have you praying for the couple and feeling the pains, tears, struggles, and desires that they have. Don't wait to get ahold of this love story.

This book grabbed me from the beginning and didn't let go until the end.
Brilliantly written, this author will make you a believer in second chances.
This is the beginning of an epic love story for Blue and Stone.
Do you believe in second chances at love?
What happens when you get the chance to have everything you wanted?
Is it worth the fight and obstacles that lies ahead?
Love is never easy . . . but so worth it.
This journey that Blue and Stone take was beautifully damaged.
It was awe inspiring and will make you feel.

They will pull you into their story, begging for more at the end.
Oh how Blue and Stone both stole my heart during this book.
You will be rooting for them as they take you through a range of emotions.
And Stone is a man that you want fighting for you.
That ending for them.... whoa! I am on pins and needles for the next book!

I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, suspense, twist & turns, deep love, and heartbreak.
If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first
Lost Until You
This is Blue and Stone’s story. Blue was finally able to escape an abusive relationship and now she is starting over. Stone wants a relationship with Blue and will protect her and keep her safe. Can he get her to give him a chance? Or will she not want a relationship after the crazy one she was in? Knowing they have tried a few times to be together before with it just not working is it worth another try? Will she be able to be with Stone or will Niko make sure that does not happen? What is real and what is make believe?
I loved these characters and also the side characters. But all in all I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read. Be warned it’s a cliffy and I need to find out what happens next right now!!
I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next story from this author.

I received this for an honest review.. This book absolutely blew me away I found this book to be extremely intense.. I have learned with J.R's books to expect the unexpected and with this book that was exactly the case..
Blue managed to leave a very abusive relationship and she is starting over with her best friends close by. She has also found the man who gave her the strength to get out of that relationship. Stone has made some mistakes and knows what he wants and with his past relationship with Blue on his mind, Once he see her he knows that he wants her back and will do anything to keep her safe...
This book will take a hold like no other.. Such a wonderful read but I need the next one like RIGHT NOW!!! <3
4.5/5 stars

I was so excited to read this. I absolutely adore JR Grant.
This book was about Blue and Stone who we met in book 1. After fleeing an abusive relationship Blue moves to the same town to be near her best friend, where she bumps into Stone.
Stone can't believe his eyes when he sees Blue in the same resturant as him, thinking she left never to return he is determined never to let her go.
I loved this book and felt the chemistry the the 2 of them shared. it had its fair share of drama which had my heart thumping as i turned each page.
Some things were ironed out (or should that be ounched out) which started in the 1st book.
This is a must have for any Kindle and i cant wait for more.

Being with man who mentally, physically and verbally abuses you is no way to be treated , you can only take so much.
As for Blue she tried to leave but leaving her boyfriend niko caused blue almost her life when she tried to leave him for good.
Going back to her hometown to start over , blue finds herself back with the love of her live Stone.
Stone will do whatever it takes to protect her whatever cost to be with Blue and to save their relationship.
I enjoyed this book so much loved it. It has action, suspense , sex and love . The best yet of J.R Grant..

Stone and Blue's story has its ups and downs. They are meant to be together but Blues past gets in the way. This story has twists and turns and hot sex scenes. I didn't realize this was the second book in the series but from the description of book one this book moves on to different characters. Warning this book has a hell of a cliffhanger that will make you need book three. I have found another great author and will read more of this authors books.
May 23, 2015
OMG!!!! This story is WOW you done it again J.R. Once i started reading i couldn't put it down.To go through everything that Blue went through to finally being with the person you love to have something happen again. And Stone is just Wow to love someone that much and to wait for that person to come back to you DAMN!!!!! 5 Stars Now I can't wait until the next book.

I received this copy for a honest review. Blue has been through so much some people shouldn't been through. You never know what might be or to expect in this book but its wonderful and sad to found out can't wait for the next book. Stone is passionate never afraid to show it and would do anything to keep his girl by his side.

Broken Until You.... perfect title for this story!
What an emotional roller coaster ride JR Grant takes you on through Stone & Blue's story.
When Stone thinks he's been lied to and Blue isn't coming back to him, out of the "blue" there she is.
Past scars and hurts and emotions run rampant in this beautiful story!
But not before Stone shows his hot side as well!

This book is not a standalone. There is another book after this as this one is a cliffs. I liked it. Stone and blue have chemistry and due to Blues past they have not had a fair shot at a relationship.

3.5~4 stars
This is Blue and Stone's story and what a story it is. Blue is broken emotionally, physically and psychologically. She has been torn down for years at the hands of Niko. His threats and promises are the reason Blue stayed and her inability to want anyone else hurt. She has now spent the last year trying to put the pieces of her life together but along the way she never got over Stone.
Stone who played a good sized part in the last book is too broken because of the promise he was made that was never fulfilled. He doesn't know up from down and now his best friend hates him. To say tension is high would be an understatement.
Blue and Stone's story starts a number of years prior and he was always her safe place. Their occasional relationship took on a form all its own. Now that Blue is free, it is time for them to see if there is still something there. But there are obstacles and threats in the way, some we know about and some I don't think we do yet.
I had trouble with some of this book, Blue made me crazy with her constantly changing mind. I was also really put off by the timing of Brax and Stone's head-to-head. Then of course there was the end that I didn't expect and a number of unanswered questions. Over-all I read this book quickly as it was engaging and kept you wanting to know what now. There was suspense which I liked, Blue and Stone can heat up the pages but almost too much angst for my particular liking. That being said I am eager to see how their story is going to fleshed out.

Broken Until You • J.R. Grant
The book has a good storyline but with the constant back-and-forth with the female main character Blue on her confused feelings made me want to strangle her because she couldn't make up her mind on how she felt about her situation. Stone is a man who is a take charge and in control type and that I definitely like in a man.
I hope for the next book since this ended in a cliffhanger that the author keeps control of the back and forth dialogue that Blue has with herself and the constant doubt. I truly believe saying it repeatedly is not necessary. I look forward to the 3rd book in this series since I did like the storyline and how the story developed.
