GRR Reviews Beautiful Broken Rules (Broken Series Bo by Kimberly Lauren

Beautiful Broken Rules is a contemporary college romance where a damaged girl formed her own moral code then met a guy who blasted past them.

Emerson "Emmie" Moore never gets too attached. It hurts too much when she had to let go. So she has a set of rules while in college including NEVER sleep with the same guy more than three times. She also won't sleep with any one in a relationship. She doesn't mind the reputation being the "loose" girl in town. She just doesn't want to be hurt... Until Jaxon Riley came to town and moved in next door. His brothers are also hunky but Jaxon was the only one that broke through her defenses, that made her want to abandon her own rules... until his jealous ex showed up, and Em found out something else about her parents that threw her into a tail-spin. Can she break her own rules to achieve the happily ever after, or will that lead to heartbreak?

This is a college romance, but the psych profile of Em was much more complex than I expected. However, Jaxon was bit too much of a caveman, but such antics are not too far out of place on a college campus. Still, it makes the romance a bit unbalanced.
