RELEASE DAY BLITZ: PERMANENT BLISS BY BJ HARVEY




Title: Permanent Bliss
Series: Bliss #3.5
Author: BJ Harvey
Release Date: August 25, 2014


Synopsis

Makenna Lewis never thought she would be the one walking down the aisle to marry her superhero. 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.
This companion novella follows on from the end of True Bliss and will lead into Finding Bliss – Noah ‘Walking Dildo’ Taylor’s story.
***Disclaimer – Hot sex, drunken texts, horny phone calls, and a wedding anticipated by all but one. And, of course, a few freak outs along the way (but NOT the kind you’re used to) because that’s how Mac rolls ***

Excerpt


I’m riveted and distracted as he walks around to the driver’s window and hands him the money to pay my fare before he walks back around and opens my door. Clutching my bag of dirty fun in one hand and my purse in the other, I look up at him in awe as he stands there with his hand out and a perceptive grin.
“C’mon, gorgeous. Time to come inside.”
“Thought that was your job,” I say, forgetting that I’m sitting inside the cab and within earshot of the driver.
Daniel laughs before grabbing my hand and helping me to my very shaky feet, causing me to reach out and grab his biceps. “Shit,” I mutter under my breath as I’m gently moved sideways so that he can shut the car door behind me.
With a double tap on the roof of the cab, he bends slightly before scooping me up into his arms, one wrapped around my shoulders and the other underneath my knees. “Whoa, Superman. Pulling out all the stops?” I lean forward so that my mouth is right by his ear. “You do know I’m a sure thing tonight, right?”





Bliss Series Facts

The books are all standalones that can be read separately in their own right but feature common characters throughout the books.
There are currently four books planned for the series but I have tentative ideas for one more novel and one novella.
Out of the three females in the three books so far, there has been a brunette, a red head and a blonde – I wonder what Noah’s female of choice will have ;)
Each of those females have a favorite drink of choice; Mac likes tequila, Kate likes her win, Sam has a close relationship with Vodka (and couches)
Ben & Jerry’s ice cream features in every book (and I only tasted Ben & Jerrys’ for the first time in March this year!) Mac and Kate like Chunky Monkey, Sam likes Karamel Sutra.
Temporary Bliss (Bliss#1) is the only book that features all of the main characters (Sam first appears in True Bliss (Bliss #2).
All four planned books in the Bliss series will soon be published in portuguese in Brazilian book stores

Every book has songs as chapter titles
Permanent Bliss (Bliss #3.5) was written to give Mac and Daniel fans their happy ‘forever’ after for the couple that started it all. It also features all of the characters from the first three books and one scene you would never expect to happen ;)






 Also Available

#1 Temporary Bliss


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*






#2 True Bliss

  
She watched her best friend find her superhero.

Now she wants her turn.
Despite a run of bad dates with Mr. Wrong, Mr. Boring, Mr. Bad Breath, Mr. Grabby Hands, and even Mr. Say I Love You After One Date To Get Into Your Pants, Kate McGuinness is more determined than ever to find the one.
Having tried everything else, she turns to the internet in a last ditch attempt to find her elusive prince.
But Kate doesn't want an everyday, run of the mill love.
She wants the kind of love that makes your heart skip a beat. The kind of love that makes you dance in the rain and bottle up the sunset. The once in a lifetime kind of love that authors write about, musicians sing about, and lovers dream about.
Could a certain police officer in training, who has come to her rescue in the past, be the one to swoop in and save her heart?
What if the love Kate desperately seeks has been in front of her the whole time?

She just needs to open her eyes to see it...

*Disclaimer: This book contains a hot as hell stripper with a penchant for public sex and exhibitionism who may or may not succeed in bringing out the inner firecracker in all of us. Oh, and don't forget the batteries.*




#3 Blissful Surrender


This is a story of Sean Miller, a dom that will have your panties diving for cover with an eyebrow quirk. That will have even the strongest woman dropping to their knees in submission with a piercing stare, and Samantha Richards, a female cop who’s tough, seemingly impenetrable shell is strong enough to resist everyone except the one man it was build up to protect her against.
 
**Disclaimer – If you thought the first two Bliss books were hot, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Creative use of handcuffs, batons, a club scene you have to read to believe, and a tough as nails dominant who is blindsided when the one woman strong enough to disarm him threatens his resolve not to let his past dictate his future.**


Coming Soon
#4 Finding Bliss
They call me the walking dildo.
Gratifying? Yes.
Something to be proud of? Certainly.
What I wish to be known for? Absolutely not!
Watching my best friend and my old fuck buddy walk down the aisle blissfully happy has just reiterated the fact that I’m thirty and perpetually single.
I thought I’d found someone I wanted to spend my life with but sometimes you have to face facts and realize it’s never gonna happen.
Funny how it just takes one person to make you finally see sense.
My name is Dr Noah Taylor and this is the year my life changed for the better.
*Disclaimer – This book features hot sex, filthy language, misuse of on-call rooms and the overdue redemption of the fake orgasm*

Synopsis
I have a craving. A dark urge that I’ve failed to resist despite years of trying to do that very thing. I’ve forced myself to hide behind a mask, a perfect orchestration to hide my true self. After I met her, my wants and needs, my inner most desires changed. She encouraged me to embrace who I truly am, and she was willing to do anything and everything I wanted, giving herself to satisfy my most carnal appetite. Then everything in my carefully managed world came crashing down around me. A moment in time, a loss of control, and the very thing I cherish was nearly taken from me. My fate now lies in her hands. The very life I’ve built for myself … everything I’ve ever done now waits in purgatory, all caused by a lack of focus at a time when my most concentrated attention was needed. The very thing I crave may now be the very end of me.

OUR READING RECAP AND RECS

Courtney, it almost seems that we should talk about what we haven't been reading because it feels like we've been reading EVERYTHING. Over the last 10+ days we have read and reviewed at least 11 novels...hence my random tweets about my lack of sleep or the dire need for coffee. It's been a wild and crazy and fun reading ride--here are some highlights: P.S. What the f*ck were we thinking with that schedule...oh that's right...we weren't! Whew! 

Left Drowning by Jessica Park was absolutely stunning. It was gushworthy. It totally shredded me and even still, I would recommend it to almost every person I know. It's not your typical upbeat, happy, funny contemporary romance. It's darker and more intense and worth every second of your time. She also has a great playlist that I'm sure Courtney would recommend that you listen to while you read it. YES! The playlist is amazeballs! Joshua Radin + Red + many more, I think she has 44 songs on there! 


If you are looking for something more along the lines of serial killer thriller, then Nowhere to Run by Nina D'Angelo would be a great selection. There's a little bit of everything in that one: twists and turns, romance, murder, and a tale about friendship. I was a nervous wreck! The body count gets super high, and I couldn't figure out who the killer was! It's cray-cray! 


Want a contemporary romance that is absorbing and fun to read? Lick by Kylie Scott would be a great choice. I read it in one day and could not put it down--I enjoyed imaging a world in which an average girl like me can end up being married to some rock god in the matter of one drunken Las Vegas night. I got to see the world of the rich and famous and crazy and immerse myself in a sweet, if improbable, love story. I am so in love with this book, it is ridiculous. Fun + steamy = rock god heaven...*sigh* 

We have so, so many books downloaded on our Kindles that I almost don't know where to start next. I've heard amazing things about B.J. Harvey's Lost in Distraction  and Sawyer Bennett's latest Off Course, and I've heard fantastic things about Rebecca Donovan's Reason to Breathe (actually the entire series is supposed to be phenomenal) If you thought Left Drowning slayed your emotions...ggiiirrrrllll this one will obliterate what is left!! Really my TBR list is impossible. I'm not even going to tell you how many books I've downloaded and have yet to read...so many books, too little time. *cough*over 200*cough* I counted and am still in a lot of shock....don't tell my husband...lol! 


I don't even know where to begin. We have had some epically awesome reads as she has already pointed out! This week was a circus because not only were we up til 1 am+ reading, but I had to go through the last week at my job. I had been there for just shy of 5 years, and in a bit over a week I am going to RN school. To say that I am freaking the hell out would be an epic understatement, but the point of this tirade is Shelley and I both are getting ready to start back to school in our own capacities...so we have planned things a bit better in the near future...! 


I am waiting impatiently as I am writing this to sink my hands into Ella Frank's Exquisite series! I adore tweeting her, and I loved (albeit was conflicted) with Blind Obsession...so I know I will love this series as well. And it helps that Shelley has already read it! I have to get cracking because I see nonstop love for Edible! 

Another series that Shelley has been telling me to read for a while, and I think I might have time to sneak in now is the Up in the Air series by R.K. Lilley. I devoured and LOVED Bad Things this weekend, and it involves some of the same characters...so I am excited! 

We also have some blog tours planned that we are super excited about! Coming this week is Just Human by Kerry Heavens hosted by the Romance Addict Book Blog...so we are pretty excited to see how that one is!
