4.5 StarsKimberly Lauren has a way of making the ordinary, extraordinary.  Like the first book in this series, the story isn't anything we haven't read before, but she knows how to write it.  The stories are very character driven and emotionally charged; a series you can't go wrong with. Beautifully Broken Mess can easily be read as a standalone if you haven't read Beautifully Broken Rules yet.The Riley twins are something else, it's hard to pick a favorite. There are characteristics from each that I just love. This is "Jace's" story, but actually it's Audrey's, the girl that got away and into his brother's arms. The girl who has never known what is like to be loved and cared for; easily discarded. With distorted pasts and truths yet to be told, they reconnect for a second chance.I loved this couple, they really complemented each other well, just like Jaxson and Em. Their chemistry is off the charts. We get to watch the other couples continuing stories, with a few surprises, throughout the book and get a glimpse of Audrey's Lane, who is the main attraction of book three.No stone is left unturned. I almost wish that I had stopped before the prologue. It is written for those that can't bear for the book to end, needing a deeper look into the future. It was just a little over the top for me.I'm really looking forward to Lane. He's a little older, more mysterious with a hidden past I can't wait to dive into!Story: 4Writing: 5Characters:  4.5Chemistry: 5Hide in the closet from the kids so you can keep reading: 4Full Review: [...]*copy provided by author for honest review*
