Broken Until Him: A Friends to Lovers Romance (Sand & Fog Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Susan Ward (Author), Andrea McKay (Editor), Sara Eirew (Photographer) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 231 ratings

2017 IPPY Silver Medalist Best Romance eBook, Independent Publishers Awards.

How did my nerdy childhood friend turn into such a hot guy?

I have more than any girl should have to manage in my life. I just changed high schools for my senior year. I have four younger half-siblings and a celebrity mom who adds truckloads of havoc to my life.

A boyfriend? Nope, I don't need a relationship.

At least I thought so until I ran into him at my new school. My nerdy childhood best friend, who is now one smoking-hot guy. I've never felt anything like what I feel when I look at him.

But I can't.

I shouldn't.

Why do we feel so right?

If you love the Mitchell Sisters, Dirty series, and After series, you won't be able to put down the compulsively addictive Sand & Fog series.


"Another heart-stopping winner. I haven't slept in two days. I can't put the books down. This one, again makes you cry, laugh, and just basically feel."-Amazon Review.

Review

"This series is my best downfall...a delicious weakness. I fell in love with Alan and Christy in the Girl on the Half Shell. Now we get to see them in mid-life - as parents - and all the challenges that come with that. I'm thrilled Ward keeps writing more---- this installment is unique because Ward does an excellent job of capturing the challenges of young adults today."~ Rachel Blaufeld, USA Today Happy Ever After Blog

"I've become so invested with these characters from the Half Shell Series that I waited (not so patiently) for Kaley's book! And Susan Ward did not disappoint with this one! I loved Kaley from the start of the book!"~Andrea Smith, USA Today Bestselling Author

"Must must must read!!! I can't get enough of these characters! Omg this is so amazing! I started the first book Friday and I can't seem to put them down! Susan is amazing and I can't wait for Krystal's story next!"~ Amazon Reviewer

"Another heart stopping winner. My heavens, I haven't slept in two days. Reading all the stories. I feel as if I'm reading family history . And I can't put the books down. This one , again makes you cry,laugh, and just basically feel."~ Amazon Reviewer

    5.0 out of 5 stars A vivid account from Kaley's distinct POV in the newest release by Susan Ward
    Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I finished the Girl of Sand and Fog over a 2 day period.  I've been in a book funk for about 2 weeks which is torture for me. I usually finish a book every day or two. How is any of this relevant you ask??? ;) Even picking up books by my favorite authors had proved useless in getting me back into reading. Weak plot points, undeveloped characters, drama on top of drama just for the sake of it...  But I am so freaking happy that I can say Sand & Fog doesn't suffer from any of these symptoms. Susan's character developments are just as strong as previous releases and Kaley has a very distinct voice. Her turmoil is real. The way the plot is moving, I feel every bit of her despair for not having answers, not knowing how she belongs, just feeling lost.  

    We meet Bobby Rowan... Sexy, laid back and with such a cool demeanor there's no doubt that he's perfect for Kaley.  Giving her calm and level headed advice even if it's not what Kaley wants to hear.  

    Zoe is a great friend to Kaley.  Another person raised in the industry, she's a true friend and again, a voice of reason to some of Kaley's insecurities. 

    It's fantastic, though heartbreaking at times, to see the story of Alan and Chrissie from Kaley's POV.  Alan warms my heart.  Chrissie, from Kaley's POV, is spot on with her funny faces and rambling.  I'm forever in love with Chrissie and Alan and will cherish any page time I get from those 2.  The same can be said for Jack.  His wisdom and funny quips are prevalent and much appreciated. :) 

    The plot jumps a bit but it's relevant to the story and I felt invested every step of the way.  The novella Rewind is included. All I can say is WOW.  I am very impressed (and surprised) with how it was expertly woven into Sand & Fog. 

    Overall I loved it.  LOVED IT.  Pick up your copy today and remember why you fell in love with the Parker family. Because they are all awesome. ;)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Happily Ever After For Kaley
    Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Susan Ward delievered another great book. This time it's about Kaley and Bobby. Geez, what a great book. Kaley falls for a boy that she is supposed to know, but doesn't remember. They fall madly in love. But she takes him on a wild ride as she blows up Alan's life with the truth that Chrissie didn't tell him.

    One day after all that mess, Bobby tells her that they're over even though they were in love. He tells her that he doesn't want to hold her back. That she should chase after her dreams while he goes after his. The inner torment inside of her as she's dragged along with her siblings by Alan to try to get to know his kids, leaving her mother behind. She's lost, confused and angry. At both her dad and Bobby. While away, missing her mother and Bobby, she tries to come to terms about Bobby and Alan. Poor girl, the men in her life sure confuse her and put her through the wringer.

    Where does she stand with Bobby? What does she want? Should she go after him or just give up? Along the way, we see Chrissie and Alan from her point of view and understand how she feels.

    The only confusing part was the dream part. I was confused to the point that I thought that chapter happened literally until the author pointed out that no, that chapter is all a dream. Then I realized, OH! Now I get it. Nice trick lol. I didn't really understand why they chose to take a few years off. Seems so random. But I was happy that there's a happily ever after for Kaley no matter what. That poor girl deserved it after all of the hell she went through.

    What a great book, a tad confusing in the middle (the dream). But you'll enjoy it!

    I've become so invested with these characters from the Half Shell Series that I waited (not so patiently) for Kaley's book! And Susan Ward did not disappoint with this one! I loved Kaley from the start of the book! It was great to get inside her head and really understand why she behaved the way she did in the other series. There were times I wanted to strangle her, I wanted to cry with her, and then the LOL moments when she's dealing with Alan! OMG!! "Daddy, are we almost there? I'm bored." LMAO! Now I want more!! I want Bobby's book!

    Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    The beginning of this book had me intrigued and I was enjoying the read, then the questions. So people have been speculating about Alan having a daughter on social media and tabloids, but no one on his team, bandmates, publicist, manager ever tried to find out? Her mom is the best, but she never asked or her mom didn't offer info? I kept reading, then the useless dream sequence felt like a part you took out then shoved back in. Last , move on, forgive yourself, but no in depth talk with mom and dad about how everything happened to get to this point.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I LOVED THIS BOOK! I am absolutely in love with the characters from this Sand & Fog series (carried over from the The Half Shell series) - they are so REAL and touching and tragic, and Susan Ward does a great job of getting into each one of their heads and letting the reader get to know them through the stories, rather than having to "tell" everything about them. I can honestly say that Chrissie and Alan (and now Kaley) have been on my mind since I read the very first book (The Girl on the Half Shell)...hauntingly beautiful and broken. I wish I could write this well!

    I felt like this book had a lot of promise. I enjoyed the first half of the book (even if the h repeatedly acted before she thought), but then the second half was not as well developed. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that I didn't read "The Girl on the Half Shell" trilogy. Even though this book is a standalone, it is still influenced by the stories of characters from the other trilogy, and I kept feeling like I was missing something...and the author didn't fill me in because of possible spoilers for people reading the other books.
