Eden and Izzy once fell in love with each other, and even though they are married, are on the brink of a divorce. Since Izzy only married Eden because she was pregnant and he wanted to do the right thing, and then she miscarried and they serparated and lost in touch...until now...until a danger threatens the Gillman family, that would only bring Eden and Izzy closer together. Then we have Danny and Jenn, who fell in love in the previous books, but Jenn felt like they needed more than a few days to realize they love each other, however when Danny gets injured in a bomb blast, she starts to realize what is really important in life...and she knows that her life would never be fully complete without Danny in her life. Breaking The Rules would have to be one of my favorite books in the series so far!!! Ever since I read the lates one Hot Pursuit, we see the romance that blossoms between Jenn and Danny, and ever since then I have been aching for their continued story...so I was having such fun reading their love story....then Izzy and Eden....oh Izzy has always made me laugh as we have seen him throughout the series and I was glad and hoping to see these two end up together..finally... they sure have had a rough time of it. However combined with two remarkable love stories that we see in this novel, there is fast paced action and so much intrigue and suspense it just might blow you away. I know it took everything I had just to sit back and listen to this story and not skip ahead, I felt like I was at the edge of my seat 90 percent of the time. But I was ended up feeling fully satisfied in the end...A Intense Read that I Just Fell In Love With!!!!! A Jewel! (FYI- For those of you who haven't read this series and wonder if you can read it out of order...you can but I wouldn't recommend it...I would recommend you read this series in order if you can, that way you won't feel confused at times. )

I quite enjoyed this! As I've found with Suzanne Brockmann novels, it rests much more on character than plot - the action beats were fine, but not really the point - and I liked most of the characters. Eden was amazing, Ben was great, and I mostly enjoyed Izzy (smug male leads do it for me, though there were a few moments he was over the line into unlikable for me). Dan and Jenn were also fine, if boring. But I tore through this because I loved the familial aspects - rebuilding the Gillman family was much more compelling to me than either of the romances.
