MY REVIEW:

But can I say how happy I am to be back in Bliss? I just love it here. It’s been too long.

The gossip, the nosiness, the bets, the beets and lets not forget about the aliens. Ahh I can’t wait!

So this book is about Lucy, Ty and Michael, they have all been around Bliss for some time now and  I have been waiting for their story.

Right from the start of this book Ty is tired of waiting and wants Lucy to know he’s  the one for her.

“Soft. She was so soft. He kissed her, half expecting her to shove him away and laugh in his face. Instead, her hands went to his waist and she sighed, a sexy sound.

Lucy is shocked that Ty might actually have feelings for her but she doesn’t believe it for a second. Why would Ty want her when he can have anyone he wants?

“He kissed her again, and this time her mouth opened, allowing his tongue to slide against hers. Pure desire raced through his veins. All he had to do was push her back against the wall and he’d press himself against her and find the relief he’d needed for years. It didn’t matter who he slept with. He found no real comfort in the act because his lovers hadn’t been Lucy.”

But Ty’s not giving up, even if that means striking a deal with the other man that wants Lucy as much as he does. Michael.

Michael a bit of a recluse, he has been since he first came to Bliss and had to deal with Betrayal.

“He was fairly certain being around Nell was where he’d gone wrong. She was optimistic and creative and so positive it sometimes hurt. He’d also liked having a comfy bed and hot showers and food that didn’t taste like crap.”

After two long years Michael is starting to come out of his shell just a tiny bit.

Michael can’t seem to not want Lucy, she’s a brightness in his dark world. He wants be he doesn’t want to want.

Michael cannot resist Ty and takes him up on his offer, and now they are both ready and equipped to come after Lucy.

“Some a**hole who bought Hiram’s old place in town came in. Gorgeous wife, but he didn’t like my choice in music. I’m fairly certain he had someone hack my digital juke and now it only plays Guns N’ Roses. All day. Every day. I might shoot myself.”

And surprise, surprised look who made it to Bliss and got a house there for vacationing. None other than Ian Taggart. And of course he messing with people.

“Apparently the Men’s Council on Bliss Relations is worried you two won’t be good at sharing and will give the whole town a bad reputation.”

But where else would we find a Men’s Council on Bliss Relations? Of course the men that have done it already are coming to give advice when no one ask. But would it be Bliss if no one was in your business?

“Lucy felt herself flush. “And you are one of those, Jax?” “One of the dudes who spent a lot of time in the military and now lives to watch other people mess up?” Jax asked. “Yes. That is who I am. Not that you messed up. You seemed to be doing real well there.”

And what kind of a story would it be if the people of Bliss didn’t make their opinions heard?

“She’d put up walls, and he’d been too afraid to knock them down for fear they’d both be caught in the landslide. “Well, I thought about you far more than geometry,”

It was really good to see Ty open up and finally tell Lucy how he felt. And now only how he felt but the many things that he may have done or not done over the years.

Ty and Michael’s relationship was a bit unexpected but worked really well.  Ty needed someone to push him and do the things he was afraid to do.

“One of the things he’d started to suspect was that Ty was an overgrown Golden Retriever. Handsome. Athletic. Looked like he could take down the world if he wanted to, but he almost never wanted to. Sometimes that dumb loyal Golden needed a Rottweiler best friend.”

And it was nice to see Michael opening up and start to enjoy things in his life, even if he may have been on guard.

Ty and Michael balance each other out and together they are perfect for Lucy.

And of course as all things in Bliss there was suspense and Lucy somehow becomes a part of a murder investigation. All in all this was what I expected from Bliss.

But I can’t help but want to go back and read the rest of the Bliss books just to be back in Bliss.

WOULD I RECOMMEND:

Definitely! Lexi Blake’s (AKA Sophie Oak) Bliss series is always fun. And catching up with the previous characters are even better.

But I love also seeing new characters and seeing where the Bliss series will go from here.

I always look forward to these book, or pretty much any book from Lexi Blake.
