Review: Happily Ever After in Bliss by Lexi Blake writing as Sophie Oak (Nights in Bliss #11)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author.

If you're a fan of the Nights in Bliss series, then you know all about Henry and Nell Flanders. They are, without a doubt, one of the most memorable couples in the entire series, and for good reason. Lexi Blake, writing as Sophie Oak, told their story in Once Upon a Time in Bliss, which is the eighth book in the series, but if you thought that was where it all ended, think again. Blake's eleventh installment refocuses the spotlight on this quirky couple, which shouldn't really come as a surprise considering that there were still certain things in play as far as Henry's past life as CIA operative John Bishop was concerned. Fair warning: I honestly believe this series is best enjoyed when read in order because of all the recurring characters and potential spoilers. Yes, there are eleven books, and you could try reading Once Upon a Time in Bliss before jumping into Happily Ever After in Bliss, but if you enjoy unconventional small-town romances, read the Bliss books.

I don't want to give any possible hints or probable spoilers away, so I'm not going to do my usual quick recap of the blurb in my own words. I was eager to read this book because I wanted to see how Henry and Nell were going to deal with everything that was being thrown their way. After all, it's seriously complicated when your spouse is missing certain important details about your past and said past comes a-calling. Their life was already in the process of change because they were awaiting the arrival of their baby, but then everything in Bliss reminds you to expect the unexpected. What can I say? Life in Bliss, Colorado is far from boring, and I've loved every bit of it. As always, seeing how this close-knit community comes together is one of the highlights alongside the never-ending love and romance between Henry and Nell, so Happily Ever After in Bliss snags five stars.

Release Blitz: Saved by Hazel James

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health? Harder. Worth it? Hell yes.  Battles, my gym, has been so successful that I hired a new employee—a veteran herself—to help me open a second location. And that’s when it all goes to hell. Everything

Blue Skies (Blue Skies #1) by Marie Sinclair Release Date: October 11, 2023 About Blue Skies Greg loves his job as a flight attendant. If only his love life could make him as happy, he’d be all set. Asexual and HIV-positive, Greg has had a series of untrustworthy boyfriends who saw him as a challenge or told him they could accept his sexuality and status. Until they couldn’t. Still reeling from his latest breakup, Greg’s romantic heart beats a little faster when he meets Holden at a club, even though his brain whispers caution. For Holden, relationships are something he can’t afford. He’s been in the closet his entire adult life because it could cost him his job if anyone finds out he’s gay. At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
