Ok so when I heard that this was Jace's book I was so flippin excited. I loved him in BBR. Maybe a teensy bit more than Jax. I know, I know. I'm nuts, but it's the truth. He just did it for me in that book. I likes me the nerds. I knew he had layers, I knew he was hiding stuff. Did I guess the history he would have with his heroine? Uh...no.And let's get to our heroine, shall we? Ooooh Audrey. I have to be honest. I was soooo on the fence about wanting to read this. I was PISSED that the book boyfriend of my dreams was going to be set up with this man stealing harpy from BBR, but then I thought to myself, "Why would KL do this? Think, Kelsie, think!" I came to the conclusion that Audrey must not be this giant slut monster I had built her up to be. So then I became intrigued and when I got the opportunity to claim an ARC I pounced like a jungle cat. Now, Emerson is my girl. She's still my fav, but Audrey? She's one tough chick. I don't do spoilers here at PT (sorry chickies!), but what I will tell you is that she's had it tough. She's so strong and amazing! I love her and my opinion did a 180 almost immediately. Her childhood is awful and she's barely hanging on.Then she meets Jace and it's awesome...for all of five seconds. Let's just say sometimes having a twin isn't what it's all cracked up to be. There's a lot of drama/angst in this one, but I have to say it never drowned the storyline. I still think that Kimberly Lauren is one of the few authors that actual can write these types of female leads and not have them come off at sniveling, spineless, pains in the rear. Same with the menfolk. They are so smexy and drool-worthy, but more dimensional than that. She gives her characters depth, is what I'm trying to say in a more articulate way lol. I also LOVE that we have dual POV. Y'all know I love my male POVs!!So! Do I recommend? Uh yes!!! Do you need to read Beautiful Broken Rules to understand what the HECK is going on in Beautiful Broken Mess? It's not necessary, but why wouldn't you want to? In all honesty, it will just give you some back story to who the characters are and some insight to some situations. No cliffhangers too! Peeps this is a win all around! What are you waiting for?!Happy Reading!!
