A Broken Forever by Megan Noelle*** 3 Stars ***Life was perfect…until one night changed everything......The story, A Broken Forever, opens with Greyson Rose Desmond, marrying her high school sweetheart Stefan Harrison.  Stefan is her soul mate and so at tender age of 18 she becomes Stefan's wife. Shortly thereafter they are blessed with the arrival of a baby girl. (Allie).  Everything is hearts and roses until one fateful Christmas Eve night when a tragic car accident claims the life of their 6 month old daughter.Greyson needs Stefan's strength, love and attention but Stefan withdrawals and shuts her out completely.  Their once fairytale life is now shattered and ends in divorce....7 years later......................Greyson is engaged to a wonderful doctor. She is the co-owner of a beauty salon..and her life seems to be going good.  She has buried the past or so their say.Stefan is now the successful owner of a multimillion dollar security company. He has become the rich playboy who face is plastered across all the tabloids.  Life is good or so it seems.They meet by chance one day. Greyson's world shatters and the rest of the story begins....and I SO WANTED TO GET WRAPPED UP IN THIS BOOK......But I couldn't.The story is written with many flashbacks throughout which did add to the overall story format as it did gave in-site into what had transpired years prior.  AND with the opening love story being so deep and emotional I'm thinking this should be a wonderful heartfelt read - Right?  Two young people meeting by chance as teenagers,  marrying, having a child and then trying to deal with the devastating the loss of that child, falling apart and finding each other again.  Great story line...right?AND it was going fine, for the most part,....until the story started going flat about 1/3 of the way into the book.  That is when everything centered around Greyson.Greyson (Grey) what can I say about Greyson?  She just rubbed me the wrong way.  Everyone around her worshipped her but her general behavior and attitude left me feeling that she was nothing but a self centered, cheating, lying bitch who only cared about herself. Her unwillingness to talk about her past, actually hiding it, made her even more so.Come on here - Like really, you get drunk with your so called best friends, who you just happen to  have lived with, and your past never comes up- really??.  And then we have Mr. goody two shoes, Dr. Richard Michael's (the fiancé), who she has been with for years, and he never questions her unspoken past...come on now.And Stefan - Not sure on this one.  He is painted in a dark and light scheme. With the author touching on his playboy ways, his regal business demeanor and his careless attitude just left me greatly confused on who he was.  The locked door thing had me saying "what is up here?"I wanted to read a story that seems real.. Where these two people are finding each other again after all their trials and tribulations, their coping, their healing, their coming full circle.....but what I got was a story that centered around Greyson and her lying to herself, to Stefan, to her fiancé, her family, her therapist, her friends, hell to everyone just to justify her own actions........AND it all seemed A OK.Then to top it off----The ending felt hurried and gauche so much so that I felt cheated in some ways that you would almost think this was a cliffhanger -IT'S NOT-Like I said: I SO WANTED TO GET WRAPPED UP IN THIS BOOK......But I couldn't.
