When I found out Lane was getting his own book, I couldn't wait!! We met him in book 2 as Audrey's best friend, but something was up with him. This book was so much more than I expected and I loved every minute of it :)

From reading the Prologue, I was hooked! Lane baby girl has been missing for 4 years and every time he thinks he's close, he isnt and its tearing him up inside. One day he gets the call that she was found and from there you love the book even more.

Raegan,Kate and Braden were great additions to this story. It was great seeing the rest of the crew from the previous books. Jax & Em, Jace & Audrey, & Cole & Quinn.. They were amazing friends to Lane and Reagan, especially after they found out everything.

Lane and Raegan's relationship started off a little rocky in the beginning but as time went on, I was rooting for them and I was not disappointed. :)

Not giving away the story, I will just say this: You will love it!! You'll experience every emotion reading his story..love, anger, sadness, happiness and will be left with a good feeling. I loved the other 2 books before this but I would say this was my fave!!

I really dont want to see the series end..Maybe there can be a little novella in the future? I hope so :)

Add this to your tbr list today and enjoy!

Rating: 2.5 stars

Alright, after much contemplation, I've decided to give the third in the Broken series 2.5 stars. Although it started off great, and by great I mean "holy crap yesyesyes this is perfect, how refreshing, I did NOT see that coming" it soon tapered off to be ... just okay. The one aspect about the book that I absolutely loved at the beginning of the novel still held my attention until the end. But I wasn't exactly ensnared by the romance. I definitely enjoyed learning about Lane - especially since I was so intrigued by him in the previous book - and even his love interest was interesting enough, I just couldn't get into their romance the way I did with Jace and Audrey, and even Em and Jaxon. There were some very sweet parts though, that sort of made up for it. After the high at the beginning of the book, I felt pretty emotionless about the rest.

This was by far the best book of this series so it gets a 3.5 from me. This book was alot more serious than the previous installments. This one had a kidnapping, mafia type of story to it, and I for one loved it. It made sense why Lane was secretive, although it still was weird that he was friends with Audrey. I loved Raegan and the kids. This book was just perfect, there was no crazy relationship drama, it was just solid.

I love this book. I love this series. I love this author.

I really felt like we, the readers, got to see Kimberly Lauren grow with this series. Every book released got a little bit better than the one before it. You all know how much I loved [b:Beautiful Broken Mess|24744200|Beautiful Broken Mess (Broken #2)|Kimberly Lauren|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1424885678l/24744200._SX50_.jpg|25802666], so you can only imagine how much I love this one. Her writing has improved greatly since [b:Beautiful Broken Rules|24954150|Beautiful Broken Rules (Broken #1)|Kimberly Lauren|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1438610530l/24954150._SX50_.jpg|24802085] - creatively and structurally. It was awesome to see her growth. While I am sad that this series has come to an end, I am so pleased with the ending that I have come to terms with it. I will move on...



Lane has had this mysterious air about him since we got introduced to him in book two. All we knew was that: 1.) He's hot. 2.) He is estranged from his family. 3.) He sometimes disappears for certain amounts of time, but nobody knows where he goes. I'm pretty sure that all of us loved Lane, but we could all agree that his evasiveness was unsettling. We needed answers! And of course, Lauren delivered.

When Lane gets reunited with Raegan, he turns cold - frigid cold. That peeked my interest even more because Lane has been this big teddy bear for Audrey. As the puzzle pieces slowly start to come together, we get to see why he felt that way. His perception of Raegan wasn't a nice one and she knew it. Raegan wouldn't let him stop her from doing what she had been doing for the past four years. She knew that Lane didn't know the whole story and might not ever understand why she did that. For her, there were only two reasons for everything she did. Raegan wasn't sure if she could claim the other reason any longer and it broke her heart. Lane held a big part of her world in his arms now, and she wasn't sure if she would ever get it back.



Because this book has some twisty turns, I really can't go into any more detail. Trust me, it hurts not to be able to tell you about some of my favorite parts of this book. Just know that I highly recommend it - especially if you like enemies to lovers stories.

5 stars!

This prologue was EVERYTHING! The girl he's looking for is not what it seems. I love a good reveal. This book was a nice twist on a single dad trope.

I loved this book. However not as much as the first two but I did adore Lane. I never expected the big secret of Lanes. It was crazy!!!!! I did think the relationship was kind of awkward at first and I felt the same doubts that Reagan felt. However, Lanes story was heartbreaking and I was happy to see him get his HEA.
