Ohhhh guys, this book was just amazing!!!!! 

It took me by surprise in the best of ways with an amazing twist that was the heart and soul of the story and absolutely made the book for me!! Truly, a gorgeous, heart-melting love story!

Without giving anything away, I’ll just give you a little intro to the story…

“You made me the luckiest man in the world… that is, until you were ripped from my hands so brutally. Those promises I had sworn by were taken from me, and I was never even able to tell you I’m sorry. I never meant for it to be this way. I never wanted to break my promises. They forced me to.”

Lane Parker has a secret… one that he has only ever told a few people. He is desperately searching for his girl. Year after year, dead end after dead end, getting more and more desperate but never giving up hope and willing to go to any lengths to get back the girl he’d lost. Then one day, after four long years, he finally gets the call he’s been waiting for and a chance to fix all his broken promises.

Aaaaaaaand… that’s all I’m going to tell you.

Yes, I know it’s super vague and I pretty much haven’t told you anything really but it’s the best way! The big twist that I’m not mentioning is central to the storyline but it’s totally worth it to just let the story unfold as you read it so please please pleeeeeease trust me and try the book out because it really is amazing!!! The twist is wonderful and the prologue will hook you right in!

There really isn’t too much I can talk about because I don’t want to spoil anything… but I can say that these characters were just fantastic! They’d been put in one of the most difficult situations you can imagine but I loved that I could always respect the decisions they made. This story was genuinely about them trying their best to make things work. Their situation was anything but normal but I loved that they just went down the crazy path life put them on and made the best of it.

“This is crazy. This isn’t normal…” 

“Hate to break it to you, but nothing about this situation has been normal. Let’s roll with the punches because I’m damn sure I’ve never been this happy.”

This is truly the kind of story I most love to read.

The deep and beautiful emotions that this story evoked really grabbed my heart! The family and friend dynamics were just brilliant and had me smiling for pages and pages on end. But the best part of all was the way the whole story came full circle. My heart was just overflowing with happiness.

We’re told the story in dual POV so we get to see both sides of what is going on. I really love this author’s writing style. She has a way of drawing your right into the story and keeping you glued to every word. I felt fully invested in this story. Some scenes had me laughing out loud while others had me crying happy tears because I genuinely cared about these characters. ♥

“Every day I wish I had found you sooner so I could love you longer.”

Beautiful Broken Promises was amazing from start to finish! If you love books with kind, loving, and fiercely protective heroes, courageous heroines, deep emotions, and stories that will surprise you in the best of ways, then this is absolutely one you should read. This wasn’t just a romance, it was about family and friendship too. It was about the bonds of people willing to go to the ends of the earth to help each other, save each other, and be together. The ultimate heart-warming experience!

I can’t recommend it highly enough! It’s definitely one of my favorites of the year!

Rating: 4.5+ stars!! Standalone Adult romance.

PS: You do not have to read any other books before starting this one even though it’s technically the third book in this series. I’ve read the first book but haven’t read the second and I was totally fine. The characters from the first two books do appear in this but even if you’ve never met them before, you’ll have no problem understanding everything.

Each book is a standalone. The first two should be read in order.
The third one (this one) can be read on it’s own.
