No Stone Unturned is part two in the Stone Series by Ariana Rose, and it’s not to be missed.
The story picks up exactly where book 1 left off, even rehashing some of the book 1 events from a different POV (which I greatly appreciated).
Julian and Alexandra’s story is messy and complicated in the best way.
The connection Rose seems to have with these characters is palpable through the pages. I’m thoroughly impressed that this is only her second novel, and I look forward to seeing what else she has to offer in the future.

This is book two of The Stone Series, which I have been waiting for with trepidation. But it was worth the wait!This is a continuation of Julian and Lex’s story and their fight to...you know it... their 'Happy Ever After'We just have to wait for book 3 now - is there an emoji for finger biting?

The second part in this wonderful duet just left me wow. Have to say Julian really redeemed himself with Lexi in a moment when I thought no don't you do it. Seeing their love grow stronger and deeper is nothing but a miracle with what is against them. Not only was there Quinn but Julian's father really takes evil to above and beyond. All in all it is Lexi's love that shows Julian he can be happy. As a sequel goes Ariana Rose ended these two beautifully from start to finish. Loved it.

This book is the second book in the series and does an awesome job of continuing the great story of Lex and Julian and their path of trying to get together. This story takes you through all the emotions and battles of their past in their attempt to have a future together. A really well written book, worth reading. The only negative thing I have to say is I’m now very impatient for the next book to be released!

Alexandra and Julian story picks up where it left off recommended reading "Turn to Stone" first. You can't help but fall in love with Julian and Lex. I have no love for Hunter and Quinn. Loved the book.

Can't wait for book 3!!!!!!
I won this book as a give away from the author, so I had to get book 1 first.
I'm so thankful she intruduced me to herself !!! I loved these books and can not wait to see what happens next !!!

I was lucky to receive an ARC, but am leaving my honest review.
I read Turn to Stone back in November and thought that I would have to re-read it in order to read No Stone Unturned. But I didn’t have to do that. From the beginning of No Stone Unturned the author gives pieces of Turn to Stone giving me flashbacks of the book and as I continued reading the more I remember of the story.
***You MUST READ Turn to Stone first since No Stone Unturned is the second book of the Stone Series**
For those of you who have read Turn to Stone you already know how Alexandra and Julian came to be. The struggles both of them have to go to be together when Julian can’t really commit to her.
Well, in No Stone Unturned, I really thought that Jules and Alex were finally getting their HEA.
Julian decides to do everything in his power to not lose Alexandra. They’re working things out and then the author does it again and the story has me back in tears and with my heart aching for Julian.
And when I think the story can’t made me cry anymore, here comes something unexpected and again am aching for Alexandra and Julian ( you would need a box or two of Kleenex).
I don’t want to give any spoilers so all am gonna say is that the story had me guessed 3 suspects and by the end of the book I had a fourth one. Suspects of what? Remember, I don’t want to give out spoilers.
This is my honest review.
I enjoyed the story.
I love that an author can make me feel all the emotions with their stories and Ariana Rose just did that.

I've been waiting for this book since last fall. After reading Turn to Stone I was anxiously anticipating the return of Julian and Alexandra. Their journey is full of intrigue and people trying to control and sabotage their relationship, but the couple rises to each challenge and meets it head on. This book delves deeper into the pasts of Julian and Lex, giving the reader a deeper understanding of them and their actions.
Ariana Rose weaves a multilevel story that grabs the reader and pulls them into the story. The book is well-written and well-paced. Ms. Rose's characters are like old friends and as the book progresses the reader understands more about each of them, including the evil ones. The couple is constantly faced with obstacles and surprises, but with their united front they persevere. The suspense plot thickens as the story progresses, and as this book closes, the reader might think they know who the likely suspects are, but I have the feeling there are other forces at play. The emotions are deep, the banter between the couple is endearing, and the sexual tension is HOT! I can hardly wait for the next book in this series.

I absolutely love this story by Ariana Rose. It picked up right where Turn To Stone left off.
Right from the beginning, I was drawn in and couldn't put this book down. I hurt with and for these characters and the struggles they faced. I was happy for them when their plans began falling into place.
This book put me through the emotions. I was happy, angry, excited and sad. I cried tears of happiness and sadness for Lex and Julian.
I recommend this book and can not wait for book 3, Written In Stone.

*I received an ARC but am leaving an honest and voluntary review *
_______________________________________________
This is Book two in the series and you HAVE TO read Turn to Stone before diving into this one. You may wish to also stock up on tissues, because this book is a bit of a roller coaster.
——————————————–—————––———————–—————————————
I absolutely adored the first book and this one gets even more love. I was almost in tears just reading the prologue, I actually stopped, sat, then asked myself "Am I willing to continue?" Which, for me does NOT happen very often.
"Her love is her greatest strength. I am lucky she loves me. I want to do everything I can, every day of my life, to show her how much.” *sigh* Isn't that what every girl wants from their partner? Say it with me.... ALL. THE. FEELS.
Julian and Lex, they just keep getting better and better. The more you read, the harder you fall. The drama, the love, the heartbreak and loss, the hope and the happiness all wove together to build a magnificent story - one I was reluctant to put down.
My only complaint is that now I have to wait for the next book - I have SO many questions that are yet to be answered!
May 1, 2019
I had the pleasure of reading this early, and let me tell you, it was a great book!
Ariana picks up where she left off in "Turn to Stone" and continues on with Julian and Lex's story seamlessly. She takes us through the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows with them and evokes ALL the feels from page one until the end as the story progresses.
We get to dive deeper into each character, exploring more of who they are and why they're that way.
And the tension her antagonists bring to the table is absolutely perfect.
Julian and Alexandra are the perfect pair, and the way they connect and work together to stand strong in the face of adversity is fantastic.
If you haven't read "Turn to Stone" yet, GO! Do so now! That way you can pick up this must read book 2!
I can't wait to see what happens in the third and final book of the series!

Julian Stone and Alexandra Taylor’s story continues in an emotional roller coaster with all its twists and turns. As Julian and Alexandra find their way together, there are those who would do almost anything, including cause physical harm, if not death, to stop them from finding their HEA. This one will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat at times and bring you to tears at other times. It is as heart-wrenching as it is heartwarming. You will find this one as absorbing as the first in the series and as anxious to read the next one. I highly recommend this extremely engaging and intriguing love story!

Clear your schedule because you’re not going to want to put this book down!! I absolutely LOVE this world that Ariana has created. No Stone Unturned picks up right where Turn To Stone left off. There’s no shortage of twists and turns or ups and downs. Julian and Alexandra continue their battle for love and Ariana has us once again reaching for the tissues. If you loved Turn To Stone, you’ll LOVE No Stone Unturned as well. I can’t wait for book three as Ariana has left us hanging and wanting more!! Do yourself a favor and read this series!

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book. I have read the first book and absolutely loved it . This is the continuation of Lex and Julian's story .
Lex and Julian are still fighting a battle to be together, but this time they will fight as a team , with support from their nearest and dearest. That doesn't mean it's an easy ride , because there are still people working to bring them down .
This is such a great story, and I can't wait for book 3

Gah!!! This book definitely took my emotions on crazy roller coaster. I fell for Lex and Julian in Book 1 and they completely stole my heart in Book 2. I was torn between not being able to read it fast enough and not wanting the book to end yet! All they want is to be together and there are still things trying to tear them apart. I have a huge case of grabby hands for Book 3! This is a series that I certainly recommend very highly!!!
May 4, 2019
LOVE!!
I am so so glad this book carried on from where ‘turn to stone’ book 1 left off!
This continues Julian’s and Lex’s fight to not only be together but to get passed everything that has happened to both of them, with Quinn and hunter still in their lives you can tell that this story is still got a few speed bumps left to go over before it’s HEA.
I already need book 3!

I honestly don't think I have adequate words for how fantastic this book really is. I was hooked from the first words till the end. Then disappointed that it ended. The storyline was brilliant and the characters were great and likeable. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

No Stone Unturned is the 2nd book in The Stone Series, and it's not a stand alone, so YOU MUST READ Turned to Stone (Book 1) FIRST! It picks up right where Book 1 threw us off the side of a cliff, and so, I'm not giving crap for details. Julian & Alexandra's relationship is next level complicated, with a big side of messy to boot. Things happened that changed my view on other things, yeah, I'm going that cryptic because some may have not read the first book. I feel like I was even more emotional in this book, than the first one, which shocked me quite a bit. There are so many twists that they're all turned out, with a side of turns all twisted up. I swear, in between the feels, I found myself dropping loud f-bombs fast & furiously, so I was a straight up wreck throughout. And that's not to say that I didn't love it, because I did, but I felt a very severe book hangover when all the pages were devoured. The worst part?! OH MY HELL THERE'S ANOTHER BOOK & I HAVE TO WAIT NOW, which has me dying inside a bit to be honest, because I need to know. So join me on this crazy train by one clicking No Stone Unturned, and if you haven't started this series yet, then get Turned to Stone as well! I promise you won't be sorry, as I simply HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

Ariana Rose has such a way with words that makes you feel what the characters are feeling- love, pain, heartache. A cliffhanger leaving you wanting more! I really appreciated the rehashing of the first book as this one began.
Hunter is the only character I struggle with. He almost seems too bad if that makes sense. However, I think a lot of it stems from the fact that I don’t want to believe that there really are that horrible of people in this world. The chapters from his POV are chilling as you get a glimpse of his mind. Sometimes almost hard to read. But alas, I suppose without Hunter being the way he is, there would be no JuLex!
“Going from point to point means you are living. Elaine would not have wanted you to stop seeking the next point, just as Alexandra’s mother would not have wanted me to stop. Seeking that next step is what honors those who have gone before. If love is one of those points, you need to take hold. You’ve chosen Alexandra as your point. She could be your forever point. No one knows that for certain. If she is your dream, then the reality you take today is the right one.”

First off, if you haven't read book one Turn To Stone stop reading this review and go read it now. This book is not a standalone.
Right away we we are back into the story of Julian and Lex. I feel like book one was a build up to make us connect with the characters. This book, book two, really threw us into it with them. One thing after another happens. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I couldn't put it down. No lie, I consumed this book in a few days, it's that good! I don't want to give away any details. Just know you will totally enthralled. There are sweet moments, steamy scenes, surprises, and lots of drama. You will feel like you are a part of the story. I laughed, I cried, and felt the characters emotions fully. And Ariana Rose kept me guessing. There were times where I really didn't know what was going to happen. I connected fully with these characters and felt like I knew them. And it's not over. I'll be starting Written In Stone, the final book in the trilogy soon. And trust me, you will need it.

Julian and Alexandra’s story that began in Turn to Stone continues. When Julian ended their relationship he thought he was doing the best thing for both of them, but he has realized that they are much stronger together than apart and now he just has to convince Alexandra.
As they pursue their second chance there is no denying the chemistry or love between them but with all the obstacles that they must face and the efforts that others will pursue to ensure that they are separated their relationship will be severely tested.
Full of emotion and angst these characters have both been through so much and have you fully invested in ensuring they find the happiness they deserve. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for this couple.

After everything Lex and Julian have been through, at the end of Turn to Stone we thought we might have seen an end to the relationship between these two. However, Julian has finally realized that he can't live without Lex and he's not willing to allow his father to make choices for him any longer.
Book 2, No Stone Unturned starts out with Julian and Lex finally deciding to make things official and bringing their relationship out in the open. However, they've first got to deal with Quinn and her blackmail attempts, Julian's father and his plans for Julian and Quinn, as well as Lex's ex no making his presence once again known to push Julian's buttons.
I'm not 100% sure where Quinn and Hunter are going with trying to make Julian look bad in front of the paparazzi, but I'm sure all of this will come to a head in the third book. I can't wait for the third book to see if everyone (J, Quinn, Hunter, Julian's father) finally all get their comeuppance. I'm also a bit curious...
***NOTE THIS PART IS A SPOILER**
After what happens to Lex, if maybe Julian's fiance's death wasn't completely an accident either...I mean it was mentioned that they were run off the road and the car didn't even stop. Maybe both families were fed up because they knew that Lainey and Julian weren't going to play by their rules anymore.

This is the second book in this series and is a continuation from where #1 ended. Julian and Alex have many obstacles to overcome along their way. This is a well written flawless story which has complex characters and plot, as well as emotion, surprises, suspense, which all lead to an intriguing and entertaining read which had me totally enthralled throughout, and I cannot wait to read more in this amazing series, which I highly recommend for all readers, just be aware series does need to be read in order!

This is book two of The Stone Series that I’ve been (not so) patiently waiting for and I have to say it was worth the wait!
This carries on Julian and Lex’s story and their battle towards their HEA.
It was full of ups and downs, twists and turns and the emotional rollercoaster I was taken on was more than worth it all. More please!

This a continuation of Julian and Alexandra's story from bk1. It brings us back to where we were and pulls all the feels right out of you just like the previous book did! Julian and Alexandra have a connection and chemistry that seems to just melt off the pages beautifully. We end up taking a journey of twists and turns that pull you in and flip you around to create an amazing story.

A story with a lot of emotions from beginning to end. Absolutely love it 😍😍

No Stone Unturned was a page turning read and I was not disappointed with it. I Request all Request to read it now.

Better
This is so much better than the first book. The characters behave normally and live even with their insecurities from their past. Well done. I look forward to book three is it written.
