"Break In The Clouds" by AnotherPen

Posted by Typokween

Edward Cullen's life has hit a dead end. His marriage has fizzled out, he can't even stand to be in the same room as his wife Lauren anymore and his job was as boring as it was unfulfilling. Bella Cullen's life is stuck without a light at the end of the tunnel. Her husband, Carlisle is more married to his job than his own wife. Bella's constant battle with her weight is an issue that always sets the tone in her home life. Carlisle is all about image and Bella fails to make the mark. Both Edward and Bella are tired of waking up to the same depressing cycles everyday. They're both dying for a spark--any spark at all--to help make life worth living again. 

One night while sitting around the table with his guys, Edward is shocked to see Bella enter the room alongside one of his buddies. Unable to hold in his resentment towards his estranged cousin Carlisle, Edward calls Bella a trophy wife and causes her abrupt exit. Following her to apologize he learns the truth about Bella's under appreciated treatment. With the arrival of a new Grove Online app that is supposed to bring all Grove employees together, Edward uses it to connect with Bella. Because the way Edward sees it, if Carlisle isn't going to take advantage of a good thing--Edward sure as hell will, and Bella? She's only too happy to oblige. A steamy affair starts up between the two and the spark they both wished for soon explodes into a full blown inferno. 

When I first started this fic I was skeptic because I usually don't like to read fics with cheating but hot damn! The lemons are so good they wipe out any and all scruples I had to begin with. Seriously, bring a change of chonies when reading this one, it's that hot. This is a simple fic with a simple plot, but with great writing and steamy lemons, it is definitely a top ten read. Edward is crass and Bella is desperate, but it works because you can literally feel the shift between dead and alive when these two finally connect. 

Break in the Clouds by AnotherPen consists of 32 chapters and 37,805 words. This fic is rated MA for graphic lemons and very adult content.
