Breaking Bedrock is the follow up to Bedrock, to fully understand the story I suggest you start with the first one.We met Addison (Addie) Greyer in the first book a happily married (she thinks she is) mother of three beautiful little boys, married to her college sweetheart Patrick. Her husband decided to move to China for work, Addie decides to stay behind with the children, she then decides herself to re-enter the work force.She meets the handsome, powerful, rich William Hartman in the elevator where they are stuck together…yes they connect with one another and end of having sex right in the elevator….and so begins the affair.William Hartman is a very powerful man, he’s used to getting anything he wants. William is also haunted by a very traumatic past, he’s not the type of man to fall in love with anyone….until he meets Addison. He knew she was married he still perused her and fell in love.Breaking Bedrock picks up where book one left us Addison was kidnapped and tortured by a madman Scott Hammons who was after William. He’s now been arraigned, pleading not guilty and is out on bail, and awaiting his day in court. Leaving Addie fearing for her life, plus her husband is blackmailing her into staying married, a marriage that they both know deep down is broken and can not be fixed, and he’s also threatening to take the children away from her. Her life is in turmoil at the moment she has no place to let love in and continue her affair with William, her focus for the next few months is the trial and protecting her children at all cost. She decides to send William a letter explaining her decision to move forward with her life, to beat Scott Hammons in the trial, keep her children safe and secure, and stay in her marriage.William doesn’t take Addie’s news to well, she doesn’t know who she’s dealing with he’s not to keen on rejection and he decides he’s finished playing nice and not going to fight fair, he is determined to win Addie back at all cost, because a love like they share only comes around once for a man like him."I believe I’ve loved you before, Addison, in another time, in another place, and I will love you again. Just wait and see.""Because I need you, Addison. Because I’m a mess without you. But most of all because I love you, and I’m tired of hiding it."Can two broken souls reconnect their love through a series of love letters?Will Addie finally decide to put herself first and make herself happy, and stop worrying what others think of her?I enjoyed reading Breaking Bedrock it was a quick read, there were many characters in the book to get to know, some I didn’t like at times. I loved the Epilogue it tied up all of the lose ends."We understand each other. It’s like you’re the drug I need, the drug that makes me better. Even more so, you make me want to be better."
