BEAUTIFUL BROKEN MESS by Kimberly Lauren: BLOG TOUR

Beautiful Broken Mess Blog Tour Banner


Synopsis
When life's always been a mess, can you still turn it into something beautiful? 

Jace Riley’s close connection with his identical twin brother, Jaxon, is put to the test when he tries to choose between keeping his promises and following his heart. Is this girl that still haunts his dreams, even after four years, really worth it? Jace can’t help but wonder if he made a huge mistake all that time ago when he let her walk into someone else’s arms, especially since that someone was his twin. 

Audrey Mills often wonders at what point she should throw her hands up in defeat and allow all of the horrible circumstances of her life to overtake her. Despite the demons she has faced, however, something inside her won’t give in. When she leaves her small town in Texas to attend college in California, Audrey runs into the one guy who could make her or break her. But is the past they share too painful for them to overcome?

REVEIW:
I am so in love with this series! Beautiful Broken Rules (Book 1) followed Jax and Em, but Beautiful Broken Mess follows Jax’s ex, Audrey, and his identical twin brother Jace. While I really enjoyed Book 1, Book 2 is my favorite so far.

Audrey gets a very bad rap in Book 1, and I loved getting her first person POV. It’s amazing how getting into a character head changes how you view them. I had a pretty intense hatred for Audrey in Book 1, but there is so much history that wasn’t revealed in Book 1. It’s so interesting too. Jace plays a huge role that was mildly hinted at in Book 1.

I have to admit that I never saw the connection between Jace and Audrey coming, but I completely fell in love with them. There are so many extremely interesting aspects of their relationship in both the past and present, and everything that happened with Audrey in Book 1 is explained. I now love Audrey! And I think I love Jace more than Jax.


If you loved Beautiful Broken Rules, you will completely fall for Beautiful Broken Mess! When you read the book, the title will take on a whole new meaning. It’s the PERFECT title, and you will be completely hypnotized by Audrey and Jace’s story. 

Meet the Author
I'm a wanderer, an adventurer, a traveler.
I want to see it all. I haven't been everywhere but it's on my list.
"She travels the world & home is always in her heart."

Lately if I'm not traveling or chasing a toddler, I'm writing. Which is weird because I hated writing in college. Oh wait, that's because that was boring. Who really wants to sit there and cite all your sources into APA format? Not this girl. Writing for yourself is enjoyable and cathartic. Please try it. Then tell me about because I love indie authors.

When I was 19, I packed up and followed my high school sweetheart from Texas to California. We had a blast living it up in San Diego. Four years later we made a crazy decision and packed up again and moved to Germany. What? Yep, you read that right. Guess what? Best decision ever! We OWNED Europe. For three years we saw as much as we possibly could. We lived an hour outside of France, a couple from Switzerland and Italy. Most amazing time of my life. Please go out there and see the world, you won't regret it. After Europe we moved back to California, and for now we're just debating our next adventure.

I earned a degree in Child Development. And now I write novels. Makes perfect sense! I write because I walk around all day with these stories in my head. It's nice to be able to get them out of my head in an organized fashion. I hope that someone out there enjoys them, because I have enjoyed so many others'.

Blog Tour + giveaway: BEAUTIFUL BROKEN RULES


Synopsis:
What happens when you create rules to keep others out?

One thing Emerson Moore has come to terms with is that she is the school slut. She knows her way around a frat house and how to get what she wants. She doesn’t make any excuses for her actions and she doesn’t pretend to be anything different. She is who she is and with that she knows how to have a good time. She’s made rules to keep relationships at bay and avoid the demons of her past.

When her best friend, Cole has his two friends from back home move in with him she begins to think she has met her match with Jaxon Riley. Jax is the perfect mixture of tattooed muscle and a sweet-talking mouth. With “hand” written notes, a voice that exudes sex and knowing just how to get under her skin, Jaxon learns how to break all the rules. But will he just end up breaking her heart anyway?


Review:
I fell in love with this couple! It had a very Beautiful Disaster feel, but was totally able to stand on its own. I love that Em isn’t the sweet little virgin good girl. I love that she is damaged, and scared, and completely imperfect. And OMG Jaxon... *fans self* I might be in love with another fictional man. 

This book flowed so well, and I adored all the characters; especially Em's best friend Cole. I got sucked into this book almost immediately. I mean, how does a girl sneaking out of a frat house in nothing but a guys dirty tank top NOT catch your attention? From the first chapter to breaking all of Em's rules, I absolutely loved every second of Em and Jax's story. 

If you liked Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire I think you'll really like Beautiful Broken Rules. There's sexy bad boy and an emotionally distance girl trying to keep herself from loving. I strongly suggest grabbing this one as quick as you can!
