4.5 stars!!I have waited as patiently as possible for this third book and wasn't disappointed. While the overall feel and style was much more intense than the first two in the series, it was an excellent way to view the Texas bunch as adults. The camaraderie is all still there and their shenanigans are as hilarious as ever. The book really came together for me once I got a glimpse back into everyone's lives. I've been very partial to Jaxon and Jace the whole time, so when they appeared on the pages, I was content. Why wouldn't you want double of those two insanely hot specimens?? Now I'll be singing a Doublemint commercial for the next hour.Back to the book.....I enjoyed Lane from the small glimpse I saw in Beautiful Broken Mess. His bond with Audrey was special, yet anything but romantic. His sexy boxer attitude is replaced with his tender heart that has done a lot of growing up in a few short years. There was definitely a secret or a dark past that we were clued into, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought it was something like this. I can't tell you what "this" is as much as I want to. I can't risk spoiling one page of this book. This is such a tough one to talk about without letting details slip. I will say Kate stole my heart right along with Braden. Their excitement and joyful presence created the perfect compliment to the darker aspects of this story. They made me smile more times than I can count.The writing was fluid as usual and let's you get lost in the story instead of focusing on a bunch of overly descriptive details. I always appreciate that about this authors work. I'm not sure if Kimberly Lauren has any plans for more from this bunch, but there were a few pieces left open-ended that I can only hope she will want to come back and finish. I'll never get tired of this group. Their chemistry is off the charts.Start at the beginning with Beautiful Broken Rules if you are new to the series. This can be read as a standalone but would be so much more rewarding if you were to start from the beginning to get a feel for all the characters. Happy reading!
