ARC received from Author in exchange for an honest review.It felt like since forever since I was given a chance to get a glimpse into the world of Mac and her never ending supply of penises. The wait was torturous! But it is finally over. Temporary Bliss was a fantastic story about a girl that although was self-confident with her sexual needs; created a world of casual encounters to safeguard her heart.Mac had all her bases covered. She had three men available to meet all of her needs. They each knew the score - knew the rules and all understood the basic rule of their relationship.Before we dive into THE guy, let's meet the harem.Zander...The male stripper, he's the guy that seems to break down the inner exhibitionist in Mac. He is always ready for a good time and sure as hell can deliver.Noah...The cocky doctor who doesn't resist offering his services to ease the tension of a long shift...with his long shaft.Sean...Mr. Dom is the one that brings Mac to her knees, gains her submission and makes her beg for a little bit of rough D/s play.But even with a full plate of delicious men at her disposal; she never expected to want something more. And when she meets Daniel Winters, the last thing on her mind was commitment, maybe adding a forth penis to the rotation - but certainly not a relationship.Daniel...He's the delicious stockbroker that has Mac reacting in ways she never expected. Her heart races at his touch and she just can't seem to prevent him from worming his way into her life.But from the moment she met him she knew what she wanted from him. She just wasn't sure if he would easily fit into her arrangement.But Mac finds out that her desire for Daniel has her agreeing to a few rule changes that she never imagined she would. And as much as her body and heart seems to want to be claimed by him, her head is telling her to run, to keep her vow. But Mac has slowly slipped into what she's feared the most - a place where getting hurt becomes possible. She promised herself after her last relationship - nothing was worth the risk of being broken again.Mac has to make a choice, she can't have her cake and eat it too. She has a chance at fighting for happiness or staying stuck in a cycle of casual friends with benefits relationships. And as she pushes Daniel away with her words, her body can't seem to stop pulling him back in. She knows what she wants and it scares her to admit it.Even though the focus of the story was on Mac & Daniel, I could not help but find a place in my heart for the rest of the gang. Kate, the best friend we all want. There for you no questions asked - but willing to kick your ass when you need a good ass kicking. I am excited that she will get a book and hopefully will find her own perfect piece of man-candy.And the boys, oh the boys. I am a little smitten with Mr. Dom and maybe it's just my own need for a good spanking - but I just need a bit more of this domineering man.Mac, even though she had issues from her past that stunted her emotionally when it came to relationships - she was still a very strong woman. A little stubborn, but still so lovable. She was easy to warm to and the quick wit remarks and flirtatiousness of her and Daniel's interactions were fantastic.Angst levels were low, but the steam was definitely turned up. As Kate said "Drooling at both ends."I am honored to have had a chance to review BJ's book and have enjoyed all of her previous works along with Mac's story in TB. I can't wait to continue the journey with her and her cast of characters. I have my dollar bills ready for Zander!
