Beautiful Broken Promises by Kimberly Lauren
5.0
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!
