Lauren is so easily manipulated by the physical side (the only side) of her relationship with the mysterious Cal that I want to shake her and say ‘ Get a grip woman‘.

I put grey in quotes because it seems that the author liked overusing the word, maybe a subliminal suggestion, jumping on the 50 Shades bandwagon? The ending was brilliant! Looking forward to reading a book with more of Cal in it again and hoping it'll be a Cal/Lauren ending or as close to it as I can get (won't say more so I don't spoil it).Hmm where do I start with this? If I Break by Portia Moore is about a small town girl working day in day out in a bar, has the best gal pals in the world and is swept off her feet by a strong ‘ grey‘ eyed dude who never shows his feelings. Don't get me wrong, I didn't hate him, he's such a nice guy but he's a dull as dishwater character whereas Cal is so much more fun to read about!Cal, Cal, Cal! Infatuated with him and was waiting for him to make an appearance. Cal may have been an asshole but he sure as hell wasn't spineless which is what I'd say about Chris. I'm sorry, I feel sorry for the guy and all of that but gosh is he a pussy. In the previous book, not only did we have the past but present nicely being revealed as the chapters went along, it worked and ran smoothly.My biggest problem is unfortunately Chris. I must say I was kind of disappointed, I don't think much of anything happened really in this book aside from Chris/Lauren getting to know each other. Review 2: So I read If I Break yesterday and fell in love, instantly purchased Almost Broken. I can only pray that it's run by an editor or two (or three) before it's rele. Hell - I'd definitely be open to editing myself if asked! But the story was amazing so I guess I'll forgo the refund request.With that being said, I can NOT wait for the next book. I almost feel ripped off and want to ask for my money back because it's almost disrespectful for an author to subject a reader to that level of error. Grammar, punctuation and typographical errors galore - at least 5 on every page!! At some times it was hard to figure out what was being said. The writing style and plot are amazing - definitely original and emotionally gripping!! But the editing. Review 1: This is my first written review because I felt that I needed to explain my 4-star review.
