BLOG TOUR: True Bliss by BJ Harvey


Title: TRUE BLISS (Bliss #2)
Author: BJ Harvey
Published: November 25th 
Organised by: The Book Avenue






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.* 



Letting out a huge sigh, I realize that I’m spending another night sitting at home by myself at...yep 10 p.m., and drowning my sorrows about the sorry state of my love life. Granted, Roger was just my first online date, but if he’s anything to go by, I should be running for the hills. Or the nearest convent. If I wasn’t so determined to give it a real shot, I’d be closing up shop now, resigning myself to a single life with lots of cats, and being aunty to Mac and Daniel’s kids.

But that’s definitely not what I want, and I’m determined, so I grab the laptop off the coffee table in front of me and boot it up, bringing up the Chicago Singles website and logging in. I see a reminder that my date with Roger has come and gone. How insightful, little website. Can you also tell when the date is full of shit and boring as hell because that could have saved me a hell of a lot of effort!

I check to see whether Boring Roger has rated our date yet, and almost spit out my mouthful of wine when I see he rated it four out of five hearts. What the fuck! He must be more deluded that I thought. That date was a dull as dishwater. The only thing exciting about it was my brief encounter with Zander across the bar. And as embarrassing as that was, he still managed to get a way hotter response from my body than Roger could ever achieve.



When I was given the opportunity to read this book early, it was a no brainer for me!  I was rubbing my hands in glee and checking my email every day, from the minute I signed up for the Blog Tour.  Stomping my foot every day the ARC still wasn't showing in my inbox!  Then there it was...  True Bliss indeed...  I devoured it in one sitting.  Truly could not tear myself away from it.  I swooned.  I laughed.  I sighed with happiness and I swooned some more!

True Bliss picks up roughly around the same time frame, from where Temporary Bliss ended.  Although the books are from the same series, they are stand alones, however, I would highly recommend reading Temporary Bliss, as you are introduced to the characters in that one, and the main characters (Mac and Daniel) appear a lot in True Bliss as Mac and Kate are best friends.  Add to the fact that Temporary Bliss is another brilliant read and it really is a win/win!

Kate was having no luck in the love department.  She had been on a string of disastrous dates.  Nothing seemed to be going right for her in her love life.  She wanted some of what Mac and Daniel had, but it seemed to be eluding her at every turn.  Her confidence had taken a knock and she was now trying to forget that one specific embarrassing night.

Zander, is sexy as hell, I swear I don't know who I love more, Daniel or Zander, but I think Zander may just tip the scales.  He is kind, considerate, sexy, funny, thoughtful, hot, did I mention sexy?  He likes Kate, but he's never been a 'relationship' type of guy and he sees Kate as worthy of something more.  Can he give her that?

While Kate and Zander carry out their 'Will They/Won't They' dance, we are treated to further glimpses into Mac and Daniels life together.  Between both these couples, there are loads of laugh out loud moments.  The craziness from Temporary Bliss, spills over into this one too!
