Temporary Bliss - Special Anniversary Collection


B.J. Harvey - 2018
    *** Temporary Bliss - Bliss #1 Makenna Lewis cringes at any mention of the word commitment. She doesn't want or need a relationship, but she does like sex (who doesn't?). That explains Noah, Sean, and Zander, her three "friends with benefits." They know the score, they know they're not the only one, and each of them provide her with a different physical need that she craves and enjoys. Until a late-night encounter with the delicious Daniel Winters turns her preconceived notion of no-commitment completely on its head. Soon she finds herself feeling things she vowed never to feel again, and when Daniel pushes for more than she's willing to give, she falters. What do you do when something that you've known to be so wrong in the past feels so damn right? If you're Mac, you run and hide. But is Daniel the type of man who takes no for an answer? ***Disclaimer - There is absolutely no cheating in this book. However, this book does contain descriptive and super hot sex scenes that will make you blush and leave you hot and bothered. Make sure you have you husband, partner, boyfriend or significant other nearby when reading, or else batteries. Lots and lots of batteries*** *** Permanent Bliss - Bliss #3.5 You met Mac and Daniel in Temporary Bliss, now join them as they seal the deal.

But then again, she hadn't expected Daniel Winters to crash into her life and tilt her world off its axis two years earlier. As they celebrate their last days of singledom, they find themselves battling over the guest list, managing the in-laws, and dealing with last minute disasters that threaten to disrupt their special day. In true Bliss fashion, we’ll see freak-outs, awkward situations, hilarity, drama, and cringe-worthy moments as Mac and Daniel prepare for one of the most important days of their lives. Join the Bliss gang as they watch two of their own walk down the aisle and conclude their happily ever after. ***Disclaimer – Hot sex, drunken texts, horny phone calls, and a wedding anticipated by all but one.
