~ SYNOPSIS ~
Beth Rhodes has always had a game plan. Go to college. Get the perfect job. Get the perfect guy. Get the happily ever after she's always wanted. It is just her luck that everything falls into its precise place in her life. At least it seems that way until her blueprints go up in smoke. She loses the job she loves and her price charming is turning out to be the villain of her fairytale instead. With failures and mistakes piling up on her doorstep, she knows something has to give—or she could very well end up paying for those mistakes with her life.
Braxton Bennett is lethal, both in the courtroom and in the ring. Two sides of him constantly wage war against one another, and to keep the internal bloodshed at bay, he allows himself to indulge in his violent vice. Suit by day and brawler by night aren’t easy dual lives to manage for a man of his status. The only way to do so is by following a strict set of rules—rules he won’t break for anyone. But what if he already has?
On a summer night in the depths of the city, a chance encounter will turn both of their perfectly constructed worlds upside down.
Will they battle together against all odds to break Bennett’s rules? Or will Rhodes tap out to save herself before the fight is over?

At the end of Anne Jolin's Choosing Henley Beth was broken and hurt. She had met and fallen for Kyle. He was controlling and her family and friends worried, because she was pulling away from them. She allowed him to alienate her from them and was becoming almost robot like in her response to things.
At the beginning of Breaking Bennett, Kyle had taken her to an underground fight and a few guys paid some attention to her. Well, maybe that's because he wanted her to dress provocatively, and when she did as he asked, of course guys noticed how hot she looked. But it was the fighter. known as Cinderella that drew Beth's eyes. The two of them seemed to have a connection. Neither could stop staring at each other. When they were leaving, Kyle threw a fit, and started beating her up. He blamed her for the way she looked at the fighter and guys' glances at her.
"You wanted him!" he scolds. "I saw you flirting with him. Begging him to touch you with your eyes."
When she was almost unconscious, The fighter known as Cinderella fought off Kyle and scooped her up, taking her to the ER.
"Please," I whisper hoarsely.
He leans down, brushing the hair from my face. "I'm not going anywhere, Beth." He softly kisses my forehead. "Your family will be here soon, okay?"
When he knew she was safe, he left.
About a month after these events, Beth is trying to move on. She is getting ready to start as an assistant to one of the partners at a high powered law firm. Imagine her surprise, when her boss is none other than Cinderella the fighter, whose real name is Braxton Bennett. He takes one look at her and freaks out, dragging her into his office. He wants to pay her off to go away, telling her that there is no way that his two worlds are going to collide. She more than stands her ground and convinces him that he had better not try to get rid of her or she will make sure everyone knows. He has a reputation for being a brilliant lawyer, but he is an asshole to work for. But he's met his match with Beth.
I'm still glaring up into dark-grey eyes when he snaps again. "This isn't going to work. Get your shit. We'll pay you severance." he snarled, pointing towards the door.
"Excuse me?" I hiss.
"You heard me. I can't have you here."
The two of them skirt around each other, but have a hard time not tearing off each other's clothes. For the last few weeks, Beth has been getting strange texts, letting her know that she is being watched, and that she will once again belong to the person texting. She went to the police about them, convinced that Kyle is behind the texts, but they can't be traced, as they are coming from throw away phones and there is no proof to indicate that he is doing this. So she is scared, but is determined he is bluffing her. When Braxton finds out about them he goes ballistic. This guy has real anger issues, and this pushes him over the edge. But on a positive note, it brings out his protective nature towards (and makes them get up close and personal very quickly)
"I've never wanted anyone or anything the way I want you. It consumes me. I want to inhabit your heart, feast on your flesh, and hear you scream my name with me inside you. You are all I want."
There is tons of angst and suspense in this story. As with this whole series, previous characters continue to have their stories unfold and I love catching up with them! There may have been an insta love fest between Beth and Braxton, and I felt things moved a tad too quickly between them for my taste. They had only known each other for a few weeks and seemed to be madly in life for the rest of their lives. But I overlooked that and enjoyed this latest installment to the series. There are so many interesting characters that we have met, that I hope Rock Falls goes on for a long time!
"But know that every time I touch you, I will worship you." He tips my chin up, locking his grey eyes onto mine. "I will give you every part of me, body and soul. There won't be another person on this Earth who owns me the way you do. You have me." He drops his forehead on mine. "The dark corners, the empty spaces, and the ugly truths. They are all yours and they always will be. I love you."

Anne Jolin
I’m twenty four years old. I was born and raised in Ladner, a small farm town just outside of Vancouver, Canada. I grew up riding horses, shooting guns and riding in trucks. I’ve been married to my handsome redneck husband for a year and we are parents to our chocolate fur baby, Bear. No kiddo’s yet! I am completely and utterly obsessed with country music, you will constantly find me stalking iTunes. If you don’t find me on iTunes, you’ll find me on Netflix because I am a self proclaimed movie junkie. Yes, that means that I quote them constantly in daily conversation and my characters do too! You couldn’t keep me away from a good action movie if you tried. I’m also a planning nut. I love to plan parties, events, trips – you name it! I don’t know if that’s considered a real hobby, but it is for me.
We were fortunate enough to travel a lot as a family growing up, and I think that helped spark my love of reading. I’m half Viking, my mom is Danish, and her entire side of the family still lives in Denmark. We’d visit them almost once a year, every year and it’s a nine hour flight. That’s a lot of uninterrupted time to read (or in my parent’s case, entertain four children – Yikes!). Somewhere along the way my love of reading, became a love of writing. I wrote short stories when I was younger, and although I majored in Business Management at college, I took as many English electives I could get my hands on.
During the day I work at my family construction company wearing a variety of different hats and at night, I write! I had never thought about writing books before, but after a few suggestions that I should try, I decided to give it a go. I loved it instantly! Having always been a creative person, it felt amazing to harness all that energy and use it to tell a story. Now, quite frankly it’s all I can think about, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m grateful to have developed my love of reading into a passion for writing. You’ll be seeing many more books from me in the future!
