Carver's Book Cravings: Blog Tour and Giveaway: Beautiful Broken Mess by Kimberly Lauren

~ Synopsis ~

Jace Riley’s close connection with his identical twin brother, Jaxon, is put to the test when he tries to choose between keeping his promises and following his heart. Is this girl that still haunts his dreams, even after four years, really worth it? Jace can’t help but wonder if he made a huge mistake all that time ago when he let her walk into someone else’s arms, especially since that someone was his twin.

Audrey Mills often wonders at what point she should throw her hands up in defeat and allow all of the horrible circumstances of her life to overtake her. Despite the demons she has faced, however, something inside her won’t give in. When she leaves her small town in Texas to attend college in California, Audrey runs into the one guy who could make her or break her. But is the past they share too painful for them to overcome?

This is the second book in the broken series. While each book can stand on its own, it's recommended you read Beautiful Broken Rules before Beautiful Broken Mess.

New Adult/Adult Contemporary Romance - recommended for ages 18 and up.

5 Star Review

I really wasn't sure about this book after I read Beautiful Broken Rule. I couldn't stand Audrey in that book and figured there was no way I could like her. Boy was I ever wrong. I absolutely loved her.

Audrey is just trying to survive. She has never gotten over Jace. She doesn't know what to do with her life. She has tried to talk to Jace and that didn't go over well. He thought she was there for his brother, Jaxon considering they were an item back in the day. She is nervous how Jace and Jaxon will react when they see her on campus. Will she finally get Jace? Or will he never forgive her for being with his brother?

Jace had never met anyone like Audrey before. He had wanted her from the moment he laid eyes on her. After one dreadful night he lost her. He let a pact with his brother prevent him from the love of his life. He is miserable and doesn't know how to have the girl and keep his brother happy at the same time. Will he risk his brothers wrath for his girl? Or will he let the only girl he loves go again?

This book was even better than book one. I really love how you get more of Em and Jaxon and Quinn and Cole. I really like this series and cannot wait for book three!!!

~ Author Bio ~

I'm a wanderer, an adventurer, a traveler.

I want to see it all. I haven't been everywhere but it's on my list.

"She travels the world & home is always in her heart."

Lately if I'm not traveling or chasing a toddler, I'm writing. Which is weird because I hated writing in college. Oh wait, that's because that was boring. Who really wants to sit there and cite all your sources into APA format? Not this girl. Writing for yourself is enjoyable and cathartic. Please try it. Then tell me about because I love indie authors.

When I was 19, I packed up and followed my high school sweetheart from Texas to California. We had a blast living it up in San Diego. Four years later we made a crazy decision and packed up again and moved to Germany. What? Yep, you read that right. Guess what? Best decision ever! We OWNED Europe. For three years we saw as much as we possibly could. We lived an hour outside of France, a couple from Switzerland and Italy. Most amazing time of my life. Please go out there and see the world, you won't regret it. After Europe we moved back to California, and for now we're just debating our next adventure.

I earned a degree in Child Development. And now I write novels. Makes perfect sense! I write because I walk around all day with these stories in my head. It's nice to be able to get them out of my head in an organized fashion. I hope that someone out there enjoys them, because I have enjoyed so many others'.
