She’s changed my life in indescribable ways. I’ve been cemented in my past and afraid of my future. It nearly drove her away. She believed enough for both of us. Now, it’s my turn.This is not just her future or mine we’re fighting for. It’s ours. I want us to build a life that no man or woman can destroy. She tells me I’ll never leave you again. I’m going to hold her to it.My heart is still … heart is still healing, but her kind and forgiving soul, her beautiful spirit, and her passion called me from the first moment. The fear is leaving. It’s being replaced with faith.
Even when the light is dim, or nearly out, she is my light. It’s a kind of light that nothing or no one can extinguish.
This is our life.
This is our love.
This is our time.
Together, now and forever.

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.
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.
So I have been waiting for this story and it didn’t disappoint at all. Before I begin, I want to tell you to pick up Turn to Stone(book 1) before you read this one. This one starts right where book 1 ends.
So Julian has to make things right.. He hurt Alexandra badly. He pours his heart out and this starts the thrill ride of their relationship. It’s all about who you can trust and who you can’t. Alexandra and Julian have proven how much they love each other and want to be together. They just have to jump some hurdles first. They have to battle Quinn, Julian’s dad and the show. Julian has to decide what he wants in life. He figures this out with help from Alexandra. I love these two together even when some of the scenes get a little crazy, ok a lot crazy in some scenes. There were times my heart stopped and felt myself falling back into their world. I love these two and can’t wait to see what is coming in the next book. I’m sure it is something that will shock me and keep me hooked.
I loved this book from the beginning. Julian and Lex’s story has so many twists and turns. I was on the edge of my seat reading this. It was so good that I would try to sneak in a couple of lines here and there while I was at work. Ha! Ha! This is the second book in this series. If you haven’t read the first one yet, you need to! What are you waiting for? Go get it. It’s Turn to stone! This is the first that I have read from Ariana but I know she will definitely be a one click author for me. Wow! I can keep going on and on about how great this book is. I truly loved this story. Be warned that it will definitely take you on an emotional rollercoaster.
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 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.
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!
Excellent Follow Up to Book 1!!
I swear Ariana Rose was trying to break me with this one. I loved how we picked right up with Julian and Lex’s story and to see what would unfold from the ending of Turn to Stone. Their chemistry is even hotter than it was in book 1. There is one part that I was crying so much because I was empathizing so much with what Julian was going through. I loved how this ended up and the next book can’t get here fast enough.
I wholeheartedly enjoyed this second book. As I started to read it brought back all of what happened in book one. Julian who has a horrible past and present with his father and his fathers control of him and his mother. Julian who has suffered the loss of his fiance in death. He comes to love Alexandra (Lex). Alexandra life hasn’t been easy either. Julian and Alexandra, want to be together but could they lose everything they have wanted.. It’s a page turner definitely. This book brought me tears, smiles, fear, joy and so much more. One good thing is Alexandra and Julian have friends and family on their side. This story has twists and as you read your emotions come into play like this is happening in real life. The one thought in your mind throughout will Julian and Alexandra overcome all the obstacles thrown at them and have a happily ever after. Thanks Ariana, I enjoyed this book as much as I did the first one “Turn to Stone”.
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.
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.
No Stone Unturned
These characters absolutely ripped my heart out with this second book of this series
This book continues the story of Jules and Lex and pulls you further into their pasts, their love, and who they are as people. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat and fighting with them for their love.
this was book two in this series and i really liked it! they have each other now until something happens. enemies are everywhere. read to find out what happens.
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!!!
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!
The heartache picks up right where it left off in book one. Julian is fighting to get Lex back after almost letting her go. Their happily ever after is challenged at every turn as selfish and vindictive people escalate their efforts to try and destroy them. This ending will have you impatiently counting down to the release of book three.
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!
Another amazing book in this series. I love these two. So many struggles but their love is what matters the most. Can’t wait for the next book!
I really love the characters and the journey this couple has to go through in this book. I can’t wait for more from this couple!
