Rating: 5 out of 5

This review is going to be a bit short and vague just like the amazon blip. There is a BIG twist in this story and while we figure it out pretty soon into the book I don't want to give it away for you. So I'm going to write this review sans spoilers and without using the heroine's name. If you're like me you will want to know more, I know, but I promise you it is best to go into this one as blind as possible.Every other chapter jumps from Lane's point of view and that of our heroine's. I really liked this because in order to get the full story you have to be able to see the history from both people. It helps make the connection feel more real and made it easier to jump in and accept the future once you figure out where the book is going.The first few chapters I had no idea what to expect from Lane. I have a whole section in my notes with my guesses of what it could be. I was no where near right. During the first part of the book I found myself shaking my head because I just didn't believe the authenticity of the story. By 11% in I had more questions from the story than I did when I first started it. I couldn't figure out where the story was going to take us. I read a lot of dark stuff and I just couldn't jive what we were being told with what I would expect form this type of story line. BUT, I promise you, just like Kimberly Lauren make me love Audrey in Beautiful Broken Mess, she is able to write this story so that by the time we're done and we know all the history I was totally in.Like I said at some point, I won't tell you when, the bomb drops and everything becomes clear. It was an epiphany moment when all the pieces clicked together. It was at this point that I could really settle into the reading and enjoy myself without freaking out over what was happening. If you find the first few percent nerve-racking just keep reading, it will be so worth it when it clicks.While I wasn't sure I would love Lane before starting Beautiful Broken Promises, he works his way into my heart. I loved how he had this pack mentality thought process we get to look in at. Lane is protective and possessive, two things I love in my alpha-males. While Lane isn't as alpha as some he hits on all the right spots. Jaxon from, Beautiful Broken Rules is still my favorite guy from this series, but Lane comes in a very close second. He's definitely a book boyfriend, he made the hot guy list.While the first few parts of the book are a bit confusing and have your head going in 100 different directions by the time we get past the initial shock the story becomes heartwarming and cute. I was rooting for the couple to get their stuff figured out and get their happily ever after.I just have to say Kimberly Lauren has a way of writing that pulls you into the plot and you'll find yourself loving the story. It seems no matter the characters she writes and the past she gives them, Kimberly Lauren can make you fall in love with them. This is an author who knows how to write a heroine I love. And I did really love the heroine in this book. I want to go into more and tell you all about her but really it's something that you need to go into blind. She needs to have the chance to show herself to you and reveal her history.To add some sprinkles to book three, we also get a few scenes with the characters from the first two books. I loved getting a look into their lives in Texas. I still love Emerson, and yes, even Audrey. Oh, and Quinn too. We know these ladies rock and their easy and quick acceptance of our new heroine into the fold gave us some funny times. I mean when isn't Emerson hilarious? We shouldn't expect anything less from her.If you've read Beautiful Broken Rules and Beautiful Broken Mess then Beautiful Broken Promises is a MUST read for you. If you haven't read book one, Beautiful Broken Rules yet the only question I can ask is, what's wrong with you? Get on it, read book one now and get to know the awesome characters in this series. This is a stand-alone novel and you don't technically need to read the other two books, but why wouldn't you want to get to know Emerson. She's a book bestie for goodness sakes, you have to meet her.I received an arc in exchange for an honest review
