Temporary Bliss

Temporary Bliss by BJ Harvey4 stars!!"I've been single and happy for the past four years; happily sexed up and fulfilled for the past eighteen months with three of the most accommodating and laid back guys I've ever met. What's to complain about?"Temporary Bliss is the first book in a new series by BJ Harvey, this is the "Bliss Series" and this story belongs to one hell of a sassy chick Makenna Lewis.Makenna fell in love whilst at school, he hit a rough patch and moved away to get a job with family and took Makenna with him, he soon changed and Makenna found herself stuck in an abusive relationship. With no money and no friends of her own she found it hard to escape, but she did eventually. She went back home to Chicago to be with her friends and soon had herself settled with a flatmate and a job. The lasting effect of her first time love was the lack of trust to love again, so Makenna found herself with 3 friends with benefits. You had Mr Dom, Mr Stripper and Mr Doctor a.k.a "The Walking Dildo." All three knew of the others existence and the situation suited them all, each "friend" gave her something different, something that she needed. She was always safe and it was easy, it was no strings, no chance of her ever being hurt again. Makenna was a great character after she got back home, she was fun loving, she was sassy, she told it how it is, she was confident she was just so loveable. I loved this girl!!Her carefully laid plans for her love life are put to the test when she has a chance encounter on the "L" train with a stranger, she drops her phone and as she is frantically trying to grab it as it slides down the carriage she comes to the feet of said stranger who has stopped her phones progression. She looks up...and WOW! There is an instant connection, the chemistry is oozing off the page and it is not just one sided!! Enter, Daniel Winters - Mr Stockbroker!"I'm in so deep, I'll take you however I can have you."This book follows Makenna and Daniel's story. Makenna needs to learn to trust and love, she has been hurt badly and she feels extremely vulnerable. Daniel is the epitome of the perfect man, once Makenna really opens up, he knows what she needs, he is there for her, he gives it to her, it is just up to her to open her eyes and also her heart, will she be able to do it? There are always ups and downs, miscommunications etc etc but this is one story that you will be rooting for them. I did get frustrated with Makenna at times, but I had to take a step back and realise that she had been hurt and she was trying to protect herself. You will need to read to see what happens but it is a lovely story."Gorgeous, you have finally caught up. We just made love, except this time you were totally there with me."I had a lot of fun reading this book, it is hilarious in places and BJ Harvey's sense of humour is prevalent throughout the book, I could not put it down! I connected with all the characters, even the side ones and I feel that each one may get their own book throughout this series. For a light, fun, sexy and HOT!! read, this is the book for you. I can't wait to see what happens in the next in the series, Makenna's BFF Kate is up next!! I hope Mr Dom, Mr Stripper and Mr Walking Dildo get their own books too![...]

Temporary BlissBJ HarveyTemporary Bliss was a romantic, funny, dirty, witty book.Makenna (Mac) 4 years hit rock bottom. She was in a abusive relationship that she finally managed to escape from. When she escaped she promised herself that she would live her own life for her and her alone. She vowed to never let another man control her again and would never let herself get close to another man either. She won't date, doesn't do relationships, all she will do is have no strings attached sex with her 3 friends Zander, Sean and Noah.Late one night Mac has a chance encounter with Daniel. There's a instant connection between the 2 of them. Mac starts to feel things she hasn't felt in a long time. Will Mac throw her non commitment issues out the window or will she finally learn to open up to another person again and could this person be Daniel?Mac is a very strong person, witty women who you have to admire. She's been through so much but has still remained as strong as she has. She escaped a very abusive relationship which would of took so much strength and determination and then still managed to rebuild her life and herself back up again.Daniel is sizzling hot, with a capital S. He's seriously amazing. He's sexy, very confident, charming, understanding and sincere, he's pretty much a perfect man and would make a perfect BBF.Mac and Daniel have a very intense connection. As soon as they met you could feel the sex tension coming off the pages. Their sexual tension led to some seriously hot sex scenes. There wasn't just sex, there was a lot of very dirty talking between them both too. I found myself blushing on more than one occasion.You can tell Daniels feeling towards Mac is completely genuine. He truly wants to be with her, he treats her perfectly and unlikely anybody has ever treated Mac before. Daniel is very romantic to Mac and is luckily to of found somebody like him after the rubbish she's been through in the past.Reading about Macs journey from a scared women to a happy women because of Daniel is lovely. Mac really learns to open up and learns to trust people again. It was nice to see her go on this journey and become a new person.The story was very fast paced and I enjoyed the story the more and more I got in to the book.A lovely story that takes you on a beautiful journey.4 Stars
