Temporary Bliss is a unique take on a love story. When we read most books, the girl is often needy and searching for her happily ever after. With this book, Makenna has a troubled past that has her happily living out her multiple friends with benefits arrangements. While this may make her sound a little on the slutty side, each of the three men are well aware of the situation. Each man provides her with something unique that she hasn't been able to find elsewhere. I was surprised to see how well she managed all of these men without it becoming messy or complicated.Makenna found herself in this particular situation after leaving an abusive, controlling relationship four years ago. She made a vow to herself to never let anyone get close enough to break her heart again. She fell in love once and it came back to haunt her. With her vow set firmly in place, she is free to work as a nurse and have her fun with the men in her life. All goes well until she meets a handsome stranger on the L.  Will he be "the one" who can make her throw her vow out the window or will she add him to her friends with benefits list?This book was well written with tons of angst. Usually there is a lot of back and forth between both parties involved. In this book, Makenna is the one who needs to figure her life out. She is strong willed, doesn't take shit from anyone and stands her ground. I sometimes found her stubbornness to be maddening. I was often yelling at her to stop running and make up her mind! I did enjoy the sexually fueled banter between Makenna and Daniel. Their romance was well thought out and very charming. I think every girl hopes to meet her very own Superman who can wow them emotionally and physically. Daniel is the perfect mix of sweet and sensual.The book ends in a semi-cliffhanger. I say semi for the fact that we have some closure but there is obviously a gigantic secret we are waiting to discover. There is definitely more in the cards for Makenna and Daniel. I look forward to finding out with the release of the next book in the series, True Bliss. Stay tuned for more!
