This is one of those books where I wish that the heroine’s dark past were revealed earlier. Once her history is revealed, I couldn’t hide my disbelief. It’s what made me give this book four stars instead of five. I couldn’t help but think that Kennedy should have been more traumatized by what had happened to her, and that her perspective should have been a little darker. I’m not saying she has to be a pessimist or negative Nelly, but given how young she was and how long the abuse lasted, she shouldn’t be able to trust and fall in love quite so easily.
That said, I loved the relationship between Kennedy and Cole. Cole was your typical hero love interest, but their chemistry is what made this book so great. Tonks has a delightful writing style, and I was sucked into the story right away, barely coming up for air until I finished the last page.

4.5 stars! Awesome debut! ARC review!
Omg I just finished this book and I need the second book in my life like yesterday! First of all, what a debut! I absolutely loved this book. Reminds me a lot of Kirsty Moseley books. Kennedy wakes up in a hospital but doesn't remember how she got there. We know she is running away from someone but we don't find out until later on. She is placed under the care of Jocelyn Peterson. Jocelyn's son, Cole, is a popular high school jock but also a sweetheart. They become friends. They are attracted to each other but Cole has a girlfriend. They try to fight off their attraction but give in. Eventually they get together but Kennedy has a seriously messed up past. They go through some obstacles; some minor and some major ones. I loved that Cole is very protective of Kennedy but she is strong too. She has endured a lot since a little girl. Your heart will break for her. Talk about being brave! But I don't want to give out spoilers so if you want to know what happens next you are going to have to read this book! The end of the book has a major cliffy! I can't wait for more from this author! I hope book 2 comes out soon!

First of all I will say damn you Rachael Tonks Damn you how could you leave me hanging like that!!!! What a rollercoaster of a read, It had some hard hitting situations which Rachael dealt with perfectly, but may be disturbing or triggers for some people.
We first meet Kennedy as she is waking up in hospital in a confused and distressful state. We soon begin to realise that this girl must have been through a horrific experience which we find out just how tramatic it was for her as we get further into book. After the kindest from a woman named Jocelyn at the hospital she is brought to live with Jocelyn until she finds her feet.
Enter the hotness that is Jocelyn's Son Cole, Kennedy feels an electrifying pull towards Cole that she just can't explain, as the two begin to get closer, Kennedy worries that if Cole finds out the truth of her past he will no longer want to be with her, can she risk telling Cole the truth and lose him forever.
A truly wonderful sexy intense and hard hitting read, but for a debut Novel just wow. Be warned there was tears. I need more Kennedy and Cole. What a bang of a cliffhanger!!!! I need more now Rachael!!!

Five Beautiful Stars! Kennedy has been through things that no one should experience. She is finally able to escape, and she ends up in the hospital not remembering how she got there. Jocelyn offers Kennedy a place to stay and to help her. Cole is the star quarterback and Jocelyn's son finds when he meets Kennedy that he is instantly attracted to her. He finds her to be a beautiful girl but also a girl who has demons in her past. Can Cole and Kennedy over come her demons and will she be able to trust again? This is the debut book for this author and I found it to be well written. Kennedy and Cole have chemistry that is magical! This book has triggers so be warned. I found myself laughing and crying with the characters so keep the tissues close by. This is the first book in the Broken Girl Series and I can't wait for book two! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend!

I was offered this book I return for an honest review. For starters, I am soooooo glad I decided to read this book. I have read a lot of books and this one is not like any others that I have read before. I was very impressed. Rachael gives you this great storyline, paired with amazing characters. The main characters of this story are Cole and Kennedy and you instantly fall in love with them. Without getting to descriptive because I severely dislike spoilers in my reviews, Kennedy is running away from a gruesome past and finds herself living at Coles house. The initial meeting of the two is quite comical, but eventually a strong bond is formed and a beautiful relationship begins.
Kennedy's past soon catches up with her future and things become very bumpy between the two. It is an emotional ride from beginning to end, one oh my god.....the cliffhanger ending.....Rachael girl we need to chat! I'm still reeling from how you left it and I am very patiently waiting for the next book.
I am officially a fan for life and will now stalk you! I look forward to working with you more. Thank you so much for allowing me to read this amazing story.

I received and ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review!
Wow, just wow!! I cannot believe that this is a debut book, and I am totally in awe for Rachael. This is an amazing read.
Not going into details, as I detest spoilers, but this is an extremely difficult and heartbreaking subject matter. Kennedy and Cole are fabulous together, and they have a really beautiful relationship.
This book is a heartbreaking and very emotional read. But damm, it ends on a huge cliffhanger. I will wait impatiently for the next book to find out what happens.
Well done Rachael, you are definitely on my 1-click list and I will be following you.

Beautiful Broke Girl is an intense, crazy, hot and steamy ride that takes you on journey right to the last pages. Talk about a Cliff hanger I am already itching to read the next one.
It holds triggers that may be disturbing to other readers however it only made me connect to the main characters even more. Kennedy and Cole is a romance that we dream of.
This book made me laugh, cry and the Sexy scenes got me hot under the collar.
5 stars!!!!!!!
BRING ON PART TWO!!!!

What can I say but wow what an amazing story!
This story had me wanting answers from the very beginning. I was eager to know what had happened to Kennedy, a beautiful girl living in a past she clearly doesn’t want to be in.
Kennedy and Cole are young and meet under not normal circumstances, you can feel the instant chemistry between them and know they’re meant to be together. Throughout the whole story I was completely and utterly hooked, wanting to read and know what was going to happen.
The story took twists and turns I didn’t see coming at all. I was left shocked and when I got to the end let me tell you, I screamed at my kindle. I had to go and download book 2 straight away.
I love Rachael’s books but I utterly adored this one and she has produced a story that can pull at the heart strings, leaving you with such emotions running through you. This book deserves hands down 5 ⭐️ and I wish I could award it more. Now on to book 2.

Beautiful Broken Girl is a tense read that will provoke a LOT of emotion from people I think. Personally for me, the themes in this book are ones which make me angry. I don’t want to spoil the plot so this will be a hard review to write.
The characters are completely lovely and you are gripped from the start by Kennedy’s story. It’s tense from the moment the book starts, I was drawn to Kennedy and I wanted to know what happened to her. I never could have predicted the horror that Kennedy went through, I’ve read and loved a lot of dark erotica but this was just horrific. I think what made it worse is that I’m positive it actually happens which just made me feel sad and helpless.
The consequences of her torture since birth also spark another debate (sorry for being so cryptic). I wanted it to go the other way to how it went in the story, but then the book would be over pretty quickly if that happened! I like that the author tackled it and put the choice out there and her reasoning behind it. I understood how Kennedy felt and I found I was so emotionally involved that I was actually angry about the whole situation!
Cole is an incredibly sweet guy, he’s very jocky at first and he seems very adult and alpha but he struggles a lot with the consequences of what happens to Kennedy. He acts out at his emotions and doesn't make the best decisions, I think he's got a bit of growing to do, but his heart in the right place and my god is he HOT!
There were incredibly sexy bits, where I got a bit hot under the collar, it's passionate and tense. The connection they have is electric...but then you get a metaphorical bucket of water chucked over your pants when we’re taken back through Kennedy’s past. It’s a really hard read, one minute you’re turned on and then you’re repulsed and frustrated.
I found myself angry at how the book was going which isn’t because I hated the story, I know I’d feel the same if I read it in the news, it’s just that the topic is such an emotional one and the book is written so well that you’re completely pulled in with no choice but to feel for these characters!
I’m very sure that readers will love this book, it's perfect for anyone who wants to get absorbed into the story and have their heart pulled out, people who like to torture themselves basically! :)

The story kept me intrigued and wanting to know what was going to happen.
From the reviews I read I knew it was something bad and a cliffhanger.
I was anxious to learn kennedys back story and what had happened to her. Cole is definitely attractive but his attitude sucks. He goes from hot to cold and jumps to conclusions way to easily. I understand he's young and still in high school but he gets angry and punches walls way too much for my liking. Also, what he did with Dennis isn't something a normal person would do. Sure we've thought about it but usually you don't actually do it. So getting to the main character Ken.
I could tell throughout the book that author wanted her to be strong and I did get that coming through, but at times I fell like she took it too far. Her back story was much more harsh then how she acted. I couldn't find it believable with what happened to her that she would fall in love with the first boy she saw. She turned over to a normal teenager way to fast. In the short glimpses of her past you could see how she was then. It was like as soon as she was away none of that was part of her anymore. For someone who had it imbedded into her every being all her life I think it would've been more believable to see her struggle with her new reality. It seemed to me she was just going with the normal teenage problems.
I am excited to see how her character is in this next book though and I'm hoping the author can pull of the two personalities she has showed us in this one. I love Jocelyns character but her husband, at this point, seems like a complete jerk. I know there's probably a story but at this time we don't have that. At one point it says something about him having a case but she never directly states what either of Coles parents do for a living. At times, I felt the descriptions were a bit long and I did skip over them. Overload, the story was there and the characters were well rounded. I fell like some parts could just be a bit more believable.
I am anxiously awaiting the second book to read. This author has great potential and I am truly invested in the story.

Wow, Beautiful Broken Girl is a great read. Kennedy has been through a lot in your life. She's managed to escape and is found close to death. Jocelyn works in child protective services and take Kennedy home with her. Jocelyn has such a big heart and also a sexy son, Cole, who is the same age as Kennedy.
Kennedy is quiet and doesn't talk much about what happened to her. It was a little frustrating because I wanted to know more of what happened to her quicker but wanting to know more definitely kept me reading. Cole is immediately attracted to Kennedy. Kennedy is closed off but even she feels the attraction between them.
It's told in the dual POVs of Kennedy and Cole. So, we get to get into both of their heads and see what they are thinking. I loved that. Kennedy has a lot going on. Cole is a great guy. They are both forced to deal with things that normal teenager wouldn't have to so it seems natural when they emotions biol over and cause tension.
I was totally surprised by the ending. It's a huge cliffhanger and I had no idea that there would be a cliffhanger. I can't wait to read more, I need to know what happens next.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I give this story a 4.5 star rating. This story is well written, and flows very well. The characters are developed for the most part. This story may contain triggers to some readers.
Rachael made me feel when I was reading this book, I felt what Kennedy was feeling, and it broke my heart at times.
Kennedy has been through hell, her life has not been easy at all. She ran away from a very bad situation. She doesn't talk about her past, she is running from some really bad people. She was taken in by Jocelyn, whose husband and son was out of town looking at colleges.
Cole (Jocelyns) son is star football player. He has a big heart and is a sweet heart
The chemistry between Kennedy and Cole is intense but when things from Kennedys past come up will Cole stick around or will he run?
I need to know what happens. This book left me thinking what the hell is next.

4 Stars for a fab book from a debut author.
Beautiful broken girl is a book that pulls a lot of emotion from you with its great storyline and characters that you can't help but fall in love with and want them to have the happily ever after but this story does end on a major cliffhanger.
Kennedy has been through some traumatic events all through her childhood but she finally escapes and is still running from her past when Jocelyn takes her in and gives her a stable environment to be a regular 17yr old but her past soon catches up with her.
Cole who is Jocelyn's son is the school's football star and when he meets Kennedy its an instant attraction he ends up been Kennedy's rock.
A great book with some sensitive topics that were handled very well and i can't wait for the next installment.

Holy smokes! I just finished reading this book, and let me just say Rachael Tonks just had me on the end of my seat with that ending... I need more! Kennedy...were do I even begin. The chemistry between Kennedy and Cole is fierce. They go through so many obstacles to be together. Just when you think things are going smooth..BAM!
I enjoyed this book, the storyline kept me intrigued. The characters were fun, and the ending has my head spinning. I would definitely recommend this book, and I can't wait for the next book to come out so I can see how this story plays out.
If you have any triggers I would read with caution as there are a few scenes that are a little tough to read.

What a rollercoaster ride!! I mean like hold the he!! on and keep all arms and legs inside the ride. This was a great debut, I just wish it would have said there was a cliffhanger. I'm not big on them but this one had me so invested that I WILL be reading the next one.
Kennedy has many layers. Her life has been nothing but hell until one day she is rescued. Kennedy had some healing to do and she find that with Cole. But not without some major hiccups in the road. This a very emotional read that will have your head spinning. This touches on some touchy/trigger subjects so read the blurb before reading. Highly recommended.

I hardly ever give a book 5 stars but Beautiful Broken Girl deserves everyone of those stars. The story of Cole and Kennedy is toughing, tragic ,emotional and filled with love. I wanted to hug Kennedy and just hold this poor girl for everything she went thru. This book was filled with real emotions , and it kept me captured. This is a great book to read .

What an amazing book. I won a
The story pulled me in the moment i started reading. During the whole book i could vividly imagine how the scene played out. All the characters were well explained. The cliffhanger has me definitely wanting more! Finished the book in one session.

This book started of good. I like Kennedy, and was really curious about her story. Ever since she started to go to high school I started to loose interest. This reminded me why I rarely read new adult books. They just are not for me. There were so many characters that annoyed me. I also didn't like the insta-love aspect. The book ended with an interesting cliffhanger, yet I don't feel tempted to continue reading the series.
