6 Stars!!!
Holy Hell! Where did this book come from?! Wow! It's awesome!!! Awesome!
Here's what I thought:
1. I Loved it!!
2. I Loved It!!
3. I Loved It!!
Wow! I don't even know what to say! This book was amazing! Finally, a book that all consumes me! I feel like I've been in a hazy state the whole time reading this. It's seems the aura is very similar to B2U series, but yet the plot is completely different. It's so good!!
We have another Hot, millionaire, domineering and possessive man here! Liam. Mmm mmm. He is sexy!! And the passion that Liam and Isabella (Ella) share is off the charts! It is hot hot hot!! The sexual energy vibrated between them!. The sex scenes were so hot! They honestly could not keep their hands off of each other. I mean, it was panty ripping, shirt ripping, out of control sex between them. They had an intoxicating lust for each other. Holy crap, I felt like I was in a constant state of blurry arousal reading this book. My chest was tight, my stomach was clenched and I couldn't read fast enough!!
I also loved the plot! It was so good! Lots of twists and turns, and it was very fast paced, which I loved. I loved watching Liam and Ella's relationship develop and them grow to love each other. I loved Liam...so hot, domineering and I just love his possessiveness! What is it about reading of men like this?! We love it! I loved how he was so sexy and loves his dirty talk and constantly wanting sex. But he was also so tender and loving...god, when he took care of Ella that time? When he held her, bathed her, rubbed lotion on her...I tell ya, I was swooning!
I also loved Ella. She was incredibly beautiful, strong and so confident! She was very sexy and not afraid to ask for what she wanted. She loved to have sex and was so talented in the art of seduction. I may not have agreed with everything she did, but I still loved her character. I loved how she succumbed to Liam. How she could never say no to him. They were so beautiful together, so passionate, their sex was on fire! Yet, they were both so crazy jealous of each other. They were so good for each other, so healing for each other, yet they both held the power to completely destroy and hurt each other so fiercely and easily. We're waiting the whole time for the pin to drop. But, wow did I ever enjoy this book!! I fell in love with both these characters. I can not wait for the next instalment to come out! I will not mind one bit reading this one again, in preparation. It leaves not quite with a cliff hanger, don't worry our hearts are in tact, but with us aching for more. I did not want it to end !
Ok...so I didn't want to say anything bad, because I totally loved this book! But it definitely needs an editor. There are so many grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, no punctuation when needed it was overwhelming. So much! It was crazy how much. But, honestly, I didn't let it bother me because I loved the story and the plot and the characters so much. To me, it's the story and how it captivates me, more than anything that matters to me.
Loved it!!! -
DNF it at 35%, because the H is already cheating on her.
Safety
Not safe!!
Liams been having sex with the h for a month, he’s already told the h that he loved her, but then this asshole……..went on a date with the heroines secretary, because he’s mad at her, and got a blowjob after dinner when he took her home (ow got fully nude, she unbuttoned his clothes). Afterwards, he went back home where he left the h, lied to her about what happened on his date, then slept with the h smelling like the ow, yes, the h smelled the ow perfume. Nasty. The BJ scene is descriptive.
Doormat h:
I read this because I am sick of virgin boring doormats, well this book has a doormat who was a liar, and a slut.
After she finds out about the cheating:
So this girl finds out about how he lied to her, how he cheated from the Secretary, went and broke it off with him.
24hrs later, she sees him in the elevator wrapped in the OWs arms again!!! And what does she do? she went to his apt to speak to him that night, and he opens the door and thinks winning her back won’t be hard. He doesn’t grovel, he never chased her, instead he gives her an ultimatum, and she gives him a bj and stays with him, wtf!!! Way to show a guy he can treat you like shit and cheat on you whenever he wants.
I don’t care if a girl sleeps around, guys do it all the time, why can’t girls..th double standard is shit, so more power to her, as long as she’s a strong female with self respect, no problem! But this girl is just plain trash without a spine. 🙄
The writing is horrible, very basic amateur stuff, and the author forgot all about character development. The book starts with sex…and boring sex scenes happens every 5 pages, and they all sound the same.
I hated the h and H!! Skip this.

Just finished re-reading this, off to book 2 now!!
This book has a very nice story and is filled with SOOO MUCH SEX AND STEAM ;) -
Isabella always had her best-friend Lucas since they met freshman year of college, but he wanted more then friendship with her. Finally saying yes and seeing where this new relationship would go, a few years later Isabella finds herself in a relationship that isn't want she wants. Lucas will do anything for her and does. In the bedroom he treats her like a queen and acts like she is made of glass.
Isabella is keeping a secret from the one person that matters the most, Lucas. She seeks out different guys to sleep with and has since forever. Isabella has a few secrets, but we wont learn what they are till probably the next book.
One night at a bar she meet's delicious, sexy Liam. That night will changed everything for the both of them.
Liam came to Chicago to take down his ex-best friend and his father. Why? His mother left Liam and his father for his best friends dad, and who is his ex- best friend? Lucas. Liam had a plan and he got more then he thought.
Finding out that Isabella is Lucas girlfriend, jackpot!
Soon Isabella and Liam can't think of being away from each other. She has NEVER felt this way about a man, and the same for Liam. Liam has his play buddy's, but they are only there for one thing and one thing only. Never has he let them enter into his word, but with Isabella he want's to let her into everything he has.
With jealously, amazing sex, finding love and needing each other. Beautifully Broken is a great sexy read and I can't wait for the next book, to find out what in fact is in Isabelle's past to throw her into panic attacks and made her the person she is today. -
Loved this one.....sexy possessive millionaire with trust issues and a beautiful strong willed emotionally complicated woman...they both have issues and their relationship is wild ……sexy..and full of jealously ..but their love for each other is undeniable or avoidable. There is lots and lots of super sexy times..seriously explicit and crazy hot. I'll do a full review on book 2 Which I'm about to start!!

This can’t be the same book everybody else read
Writing: Didn’t like the writing style. Some of the book was repetitive. It’s told from 3rd Person narration so sometimes when it switched, Bethany Bazile would repeat the entire scene from the other character’s POV. Also, an editor would be useful.
Characters: Liam and Isabella are the MCs. They are both suffering from broken families. I didn’t really care for either MC, especially Isabella.
Storyline: LOVE TRIANGLE! I don’t usually like love triangles and definitely didn’t like this one.
Isabella has been on and off again with Lucas, but hasn’t been faithful. Liam, Lucas’ nemesis shows up and she pounces. Lucas wants her back, Liam wants her to get rid of Lucas, Isabella wants Liam but doesn’t want to hurt Lucas’ feelings…and that’s about all folks.
I’m so glad that this book was not my introduction to Bethany Bazile. I really disliked this book.
Intimacy Scenes: Every other page. It didn’t stop. No plot. Just sex.
Overall: I’ll read something else from Bethany because I liked Fight for Me. However, if you’ve never read anything by this author, I do not suggest beginning with this one. -
TUMULTUOUS...CONFLICTING PASSIONS, BRACE YOUR HEART WHEN YOU READ THIS
This is a beautiful story of conflicting hearts, that of Ella and Liam whose love for each other is so great and strong, yet could also lead them to ruin. Trust, jealousy, uncertainties is a never ending challenge, too many people, present and in the past seems to be bent in tearing them apart. Ella's well guarded deep dark secrets of her past haunts her thus a tumultuous affair with Liam. This is such a well written story you'll be captivated from the very beginning, each character plays a crucial importance and just as pivotal to the essence of the story. Brace your heart as you read this, both Liam and Ella's inner struggle is the soul and heart of this touching story, their love affair though tumultuous it sizzles, passionate, and undeniably Hot! I have already purchased the second book and I could hardly wait to read it, but I want to take the time to write this review so that I can share with everyone the many different emotions...tears, love and joy it evokes reading this. -
Utterly Speechless. Holy hell.
I devoured this book in one sitting. Liam and Ella was so fucking intense! Loved it! I WAS HOT ALL OVER!
FANNING AND PANTING! -
1.5 on my scale, skim read most of it, not holding my attention
-

Hands down one of my favorite books goes up there with the "fifty shades series "and "bared to you series"!!!!Liam Maddox has completed my top three of favorite men with Christian grey and Gideon cross !!! Can't wait for the next one April can't come fast enough ! Ella and Liam belong together!!!!!
Liam is so amazing he blows my mind! This book was scorching HOTTTTTT I think even better/hotter then the other series of books I've read. I really felt for Liam especially with this quote "I need us to be more than what I can do for you in bed. I want to possess all of you not just one sector of your life” Excerpt From: Bazile, Bethany. “Beautifully Broken.” Awwwwwwwwww!!!!! And Ella I really enjoyed her I can't wait to continue this love journey and find out Ella's secret past!!!

And did I mention love triangle there's actually two HOT CEO's can't forget about Lucas lol even though I'm team Liam all the way. Very jealous of Isabella aka Ella because not only does she have one hot CEO that craves her but she has two lol I give this book five ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ amazing hot stars if they were ten stars I would give that too !!!! Defiantly going to re read this book again and again can't wait for the next one please hurry need this book NOw!!!!!

I usually have two books going. One on my phone and one on my kindle. I stopped reading the one on my kindle so I could read this one on the kindle instead of reading it on the phone. I needed the full experience. There were times I was surprised there was even a story line here as Liam and Isabella are fucking every other page. But a story line emerges and it somehow pulled me in. The back and forth perspectives gave me the plot I was looking for. There are some Bared qualities to this book. I loved Bared, adored Bared! This is not the same story. Its similar but there are some differences which is good. If it was a rip off of Bared this review would be hatin'. Liam loves 'em an leaves 'em yet is helpless to resist Isabella in a way no woman has made him feel before a la Gideon style. Isabella feels she is too fucked up to be in a relationship. Cue Eva. The other similarity was the mass quantity of sex. Seriously, these two were fuckin multiple times a day!!! The sex was good but not as creative as Bared. I've moved right on to the second book cuz I'm thoroughly addicted. The other book i was reading on the kindle is just going to have to wait. Liam and Isabella have their hooks in me.

The opening of this book is dynamite! When reading erotic romances, this is how you want to start a book! Wow! Hot!
This was a fun read! I thoroughly enjoyed the book and the characters. Liam and Ella had that unbelievable pull towards each other... sexually and otherwise. They are both individuals that had some tough experiences in the past and that has made them a little harder from a relationship standpoint. They are skeptical and leery about entering into a relationship together. Trust does not come easy to them. But it was fun to watch their relationship develop from sexually based to something more.
I will say the editing was not terrific on this book. My nook version had a lot of errors in spelling, grammar, word choice, etc. That can be distracting from a story when it occurs throughout a book. Hopefully, the next book will be edited better!
I look forward to the next installment! -
I don't even know what to say about this one. I'm not really sure there was much of a story here. This book was kinda all over the place and the factual, grammatical and editing errors were extremely distracting. Of course, sucker that I am, I'll probably read the next book in the series, Beautifully Revealed, too. Given the title, I expect to finally learn about Ella's past since I'm now desperate to know her secret. Whatever it is, it better be good. Thank goodness there is only one more book to go.
-
I might have gone up to three or even four stars on this, but the editing! Eek! It's been awhile since I've read something that's been so poorly edited. It was seriously one of the most frustrating things and made it hard to finish the book. The story was decent, though. Not the best or anything--the MC was annoying, and the repetition of POV's made me want to rip my hair out--but "decent."
-
Wow just Wow This one was one Sexy ass book!! where did it come from Dayum !! I Love Liam Maddox he was just perfect everything about him was just Ahhhh......
5 stars Just cause it Surprised me I really though it was gonna be just a fluffly book but Dayum It was Good! -
2.5 Stars
Beautifully Broken is crazy smexy. As in, WOWZA. I liked it. It's a short book, so the storyline goes really fast.
Ella is a hot mess. She's all over the place emotionally. Honesty is not something she's good at. Hiding her true self seems to be her main goal, oh, and sex, lots and lots of it. She's pretty much a nympho. No joke.
Liam is a sexy beast, there's no question about it. He's possessive in a delicious way. Okay, the cameras were a little much. That leaned more into stalker territory. Psycho.
I feel bad for Lucas! Poor guy. He loves Isabella and would do anything for her. Including overlooking her trysts with other men. Somebody please slap some sense into that poor, pathetic creature. I wanted to throat punch Ella for hurting him over and over.
Not to sound too critical, but the editing needs some serious attention. I found myself correcting the grammar and spelling when I should have been able to focus on the story.
And the cliffhanger? Ugh. I will be reading book 2 because I NEED ANSWERS. -
Isabella Moss is a manipulative lying sex-crazed broken woman. When the book opened the chemistry started immediately between her and Liam. When Lucas was brought into the picture i was afraid i would see the same 'i dont want to get hurt' insecure girl, but i didnt. Ella is BOLD, Confident in many ways, and she knew she couldnt give up on what was coming her way. I was proud of her but she was literally destroying so many pieces of her and liam's puzzle. She lies. She kept secerts. But she jumped head first into falling in love and for that i can overlook all the damage she was causing to a man who deemed unloveable.
Liam is sexy. rich. possessive. AND everything i've ever wanted in a male lead. I was so scared this book was twisted and was going have Ella scurring in the wrong direction, but he showed her he owned her. What's wrong with being owned by a man who possesses so much power to love you?
Lucas.. I hate him. He is a user.. Glad he didnt get his happy ending :) -
Two effed up people fighting against the pull they feel towards each other, add in some jealousy, family drama, secrets, amazing sexual pull and you have the recipe for a great story.
Liam is a player, determined to never be committed to anyone. He has no faith in happily ever afters after watching his parent's fairy tale marriage come crashing down.
Ella has secrets and a damaged past. She is also his enemy's best friend/on-again/off-again lover.
Somehow they have to figure out a way to be together without ruining each other in the process.
I can't wait to see what the next book brings! -
I AM ENJOYING THIS "BEAUTIFUL SERIES BK#1" LOVE STORY OF LIAM & ELLA THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEM IS FREAKIN HOTT AND SEXXY. OMG! BOTH HAVE PARENTAL SCARS VERY DEEP ONES (why do people keep fu*king up kids and keep doing it after they are born) GEEZZZZZZ! IN THEIR CASE I GUESS WHAT EVER DOESN'T KILL THEM WILL MAKE THEM STRONGER. . .RIGHTTTTTT! GOOD STORYLINE LOVE & HATE THE CHARACTERS BECAUSE THEIR BEHAVIOR REALLY IS NOT THEIR FAULT. WELL, ON TO BK#2. LOVE SCENES ARE IS VERY, VERY HOT, HOPE THIS HAS A GREAT ENDING. FINGERS & TOES CROSSED(maybe I should do my eyes too).

" I knew the very first night there was something different about this women. I fought against those feelings thinking i could keep her a little neat box marked ' FOR PLEASURE ONLY '. Unfortunately she burst out of that box with little effort. In this short time she's become my all. If history was to repeat itself i would never survive such a lost. My heart rate increases, the mere thought of losing her so consuming." -
the book was slow ... the intimate scenes were just mind blowing .. bt a little inset into lucas life wud have been good ... liam nd lucas never confronted each other ... nd I hate cliff hangers ... but just 2 tell u I m in love wid liam .. he is just a perfect b.f material ... waiting for 2nd installment .. lets c where it takes us
-
I am BEGGING for indy authors to start using spellcheck or have a friend proofread for them. It's frustrating and detracts from the experience, especially when you are paying for it. Heck, I would even do it for free, for any indy author.
However, the story itself was great and the hook was immediate. I liked everything else about it. -
I had high hopes for this book. Not sure if I will write a full on review yet...I never bash anyone's work.
I will say it was smutastic!! Good read if you are in the mood for solid smut and not much else-- character development, plot...story...que some porn music. -
I just needed more from it. I thought it moved really fast. Was not lacking on the sex scenes, just plot. Lucas, the one character I felt emotionally connected to hardly got the spotlight. Maybe the next book...
-
Such a great book I love Liam and I love Ella, and I think she has deep secrets that need to come out so that there relationship can continue. It was great story...can't wait to start the next book which I'm going to do right away.
-
A so, so read for me. I didn't particularly like Ella or Liam. I didn't feel they were in love, mostly in lust!
-
The h is a slut who loves being one. I was so turned off by her that I didn't bother to finish.
-
This was a great read...if you can overlook the editing...or lack thereof.
-
What a fantastic book!
Lucas is an asshole plain and simple. I just want to do bodily harm to Lucas. While on the other hand I want to do other things to Liam...YUM!!!!
