Bedrock by Britney King Book Review

Blurb: 

When Addison Greyer, a happily married mother of three, decides to re-enter the workforce, she never once considers that taking a job might unravel everything she thinks to be true about her life—that it would cause her to look deep within and confront fears she didn’t know existed. She couldn’t have foreseen how a chance meeting or a single day can change the course of an entire lifetime.

Like many women, Addison is defined in terms of marriage and motherhood, until she suddenly finds her life turned upside down by her husband’s decision to take a job thousands of miles away. When her tough-as-nails boss offers her an opportunity she can’t refuse, Addie is forced to make difficult choices. Those choices take her further and further out of the carefully crafted fairytale life she has created and lead her into an unknown world where things are anything but black and white: a world where she learns that desire is not only dangerous but deadly. In this world, all bets are off as she is forced to finally confront her past. As her past and present collide, she has to make decisions that for most are unthinkable, decisions that can tear her family apart, and perhaps even have fatal consequences. 

Bedrock is a love story designed to showcase how the choices we make ultimately shape our lives. It serves as a reminder that in the end what defines us is not the big events, the monumental occasions. It’s the tiny, seemingly inconsequential moments in between. It’s proof that time passes and we cannot, no matter how hard we try, get it back. Bedrock is a story of love and grief that pretty much sums up the context of the human experience. 

Due to heavy subject matter and sexual content this book is recommended for mature readers.

Meet Britney: 

Britney is married to a man she adores (when he isn’t driving her crazy) and is the mother of FIVE amazing kids, who (surprise!) also have a habit of driving her crazy, her best guess is that it’s genetic. In addition, she founded a local network for women in 2012, which has grown to almost 700 members. Currently, she occupies a job she loves- serving and running Austin Women’s Network. To further prove that she may in fact be certifiably insane, she’ll publish her debut novel entitled, Bedrock in May of 2013. Then and only then, will she consider her training to be an expert (life) juggler complete.

In her free time, you might find Britney running, reading, or spending time utilizing the wonderful venues that make her city great.

You can find Britney on Facebook, Twitter and on her blog.

Excerpt: 

As the elevator started to climb, Addie turned her attention back to her phone, waiting for Jessica’s reply.

“Don’t you think it’s strange how two people can be standing inches from one another in such a confined space and yet hardly acknowledge one another?” the deep voice behind her said.

Addie looked up, her eyes meeting his in the mirror.

He didn’t wait for her reply. “I’ve always thought so anyway.”

Addie smiled nervously. For the first time, she really took notice of the man. He was tall and very handsome: dark hair, piercing blue eyes, dressed impeccably. Probably gay.Men this beautiful usually were.

He extended his hand. “I’m William Hartman. And no, I’m not gay. It’s a pleasure to meet you. What did you say your name was again?”

Holy shit. Did I say that out loud? Addie swallowed nervously, pretty sure she hadn’t. This man was clearly messing with her. She hadn’t said her name. Two can play at this game.

Book Review:

Ok I honestly didn't no what to expect before reading this book but wow! Mrs. King rocked this one. For all my fifty shades fans give this one a go. This was a pretty quick read for me. I thought I would start it before bed but ended up finishing it through one sitting. The prologue gripped me in from the beginning and mrs. King kept me intrigued throughout this one. 

I can't honestly say this is Addison greyers story because its the story ofALL characters involved. Kudos to mrs. King for giving her readers ALL characters POV. Addison is a house wife who is married to the perfect manin paper. However her life is far from roses and chocolates. . She finally decides to do something for herself and re enters the workforce. Well headed to her job interview, ofcourse elevator issues happen, oh no she going to be late. Ummm ya late is an understatement and the last thing on her mine. Let me introduce you to William! Yes the billionaire hot kinky alpha male. Random sex with a stranger on an elevator anyone? Oh ya this story got so hot from this point on it was a serious roller coaster ride. 

Addison/Williams relationship in and out of work was hot. BUT the reader also got to see Addison's struggles of everyday life. How do you find yourself, fight for a marriage that's been over for years, be a career woman, a dominatrix in training( oh ya you heard me right), a great mom, avoid issues with the in laws, and deny the love of  the one man who has ever made you feel complete? Oh ya Addison's journey was a crazy one. I'm totally team William. Admist all the drama, foolishness,and  heart break i found myself asking will Addison be able to save herself, her children, and live a life of love with the man who now holds her heart? The ending of the book left me screaming and needing more of this story. Great job mrs. King. I need part 2 of this story ASAP! 

Cheers,
