Temporary love. Temporary feelings. Until a late-night encounter creates a permanent longing for bliss of another kind... Makenna Lewis cringes at any mention of the word commitment. Her past experience with the L-word did little more than teach her that anything involving feelings is a dangerous path indeed. She no longer wants or needs a relationship, but she still enjoys men. Even if her attachment to them is only temporary. That is, until a late night encounter with the delicious Daniel Winters turns her preconceived notion of commitment completely on its head. He makes her feel things she vowed to never 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 in the present? If you're Mac, you run and hide. Lucky for Mac, Daniel isn't the type of man who takes no for an answer.

Wishing for my own Superman

Reviewed in Australia on 28 March 2018

Temporary Bliss is the story that introduced me to the wonderful BJ Harvey and I’m so glad that I’ve taken the time to reread it and appreciate it again - as well as read the rest of the books in the Bliss series. This romance is an easy read and yet - in true BJ fashion - doesn’t shy away from dealing with some major issues. From crummy last relationships to the perks of multiple “friends with benefits” to the gorgeousness of two friends whose sister-like relationship is envy creating! This is so much more than a love story - it’s about a woman finding herself and realising that she is worth so much more than she thinks she deserves.

That woman is Makenna - Mac - Lewis and the guy to turn her world upside down is Superman himself aka Delicious Daniel Winters. A chance encounter one night and some serious flirting leads the perpetually commitment-phobe Mac down a path she really was not ready for. But swoon-worthy Daniel is one patient man and despite more road blocks to their “not not dating” relationship, Daniel is not one to give up easily.

BJ writes so very well and this book is a perfect example of her ability to weave a beautifully romantic story - with some very hot and steamy scenes - that also makes you question how you view yourself and whether you give yourself enough credit. I’m very much looking forward to reading the rest of this series and seeing some of the fantastic secondary characters take centre stage and hopefully find their own happily ever after.

Frustratingly good

Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy this book it wasn't until I was three quarters the way through that I struggled, I don't know if it was just me or the book. I felt as though the main character should have got past her idiotic vow she made to herself, enough was enough. She had a wonderful man ready to love her...ugh! Once I got past the part when she woke up to her stupidity I did enjoy the book more. It left me a little frustrated.

Temporary Bliss
BJ Harvey

Temporary Bliss was a romantic, funny, dirty, witty book.
Makenna (Mac) 4 years hit rock bottom. She was in a abusive relationship that she finally managed to escape from. When she escaped she promised herself that she would live her own life for her and her alone. She vowed to never let another man control her again and would never let herself get close to another man either. She won't date, doesn't do relationships, all she will do is have no strings attached sex with her 3 friends Zander, Sean and Noah.
Late one night Mac has a chance encounter with Daniel. There's a instant connection between the 2 of them. Mac starts to feel things she hasn't felt in a long time. Will Mac throw her non commitment issues out the window or will she finally learn to open up to another person again and could this person be Daniel?
Mac is a very strong person, witty women who you have to admire. She's been through so much but has still remained as strong as she has. She escaped a very abusive relationship which would of took so much strength and determination and then still managed to rebuild her life and herself back up again.
Daniel is sizzling hot, with a capital S. He's seriously amazing. He's sexy, very confident, charming, understanding and sincere, he's pretty much a perfect man and would make a perfect BBF.
Mac and Daniel have a very intense connection. As soon as they met you could feel the sex tension coming off the pages. Their sexual tension led to some seriously hot sex scenes. There wasn't just sex, there was a lot of very dirty talking between them both too. I found myself blushing on more than one occasion.
You can tell Daniels feeling towards Mac is completely genuine. He truly wants to be with her, he treats her perfectly and unlikely anybody has ever treated Mac before. Daniel is very romantic to Mac and is luckily to of found somebody like him after the rubbish she's been through in the past.
Reading about Macs journey from a scared women to a happy women because of Daniel is lovely. Mac really learns to open up and learns to trust people again. It was nice to see her go on this journey and become a new person.
The story was very fast paced and I enjoyed the story the more and more I got in to the book.
A lovely story that takes you on a beautiful journey.

It's very hard for trust anyone with your heart when you've loved someone and given up your career for them only for them to stomp all.over your heart and abuse you physically and verbally and after a miscarriage you do the only thing and flee back home.This story stems with the struggles with the trust issues. Even when you meet a handsome man who you have great chemistry with and you already have three male friends with benefits which satisfies your sex drive. But with Daniel, there is something that is so compelling about him that she is hooked, but fight it all the way. Mac struggles with her feelings, severing all her lovers lookups, but still is afraid to commit to Daniel, nearly losing him in the process. It's not until she be comes pregnant with Daniel's child that it all changes and Daniel finds out and goes to confront her and the rest is history. Great read.

Excellent read

Loved this book. Mackenna is our heroine who has experienced some major life events that have resulted in her refusing to commit to one man. She isn't slutty. She has 3 friends with benefits and doesn't hurt anyone . All parties are aware of the situation . One night she meets a gorgeous man on a train and suddenly there is only one man who it feels right to be with. Daniel Winters shakes up Mac's whole life/ belief system/ heart. This book had me laughing out loud in places and so exasperated in others. Sometimes you want to kick some sense into Mac. Thank goodness for her best friend Kate (who has her own book coming soon) . Great book. Highly Recommend to all diehard romantics.

I wish there had been a Daniel in my day, he is everything a girl could wish for. Makenna had some issues with Beau which made her very weary of men and commitment. How she could have had three friends with benefits I do not know. It may have worked for her at the time, but it is not something many women could have done without some repercussions I'm glad she put them to one side once she met Daniel, he was very understanding once she told him all about them. At least she came to her senses and realised what was staring her in her face. Daniel is my hero, can't wait to read Kate's story and see how they are getting on.
