I think it would be fair to say that whether you like a book or not, it has a lot to do with the personal judgment of the reader. A reader likes a book because of their own personal life experiences and maybe, because of the author's writing style. I think that probably applies to reviews as well.So if I said to you that, at one stage, when I was reading Temporary Bliss that I wanted to throw my computer across the room, you might think that I didn't like it. YOU COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG. The fact that I felt like throwing my computer across the room means that I LOVED it! It proves that I was so into in the story and the characters, that I became emotionally involved.This book is a departure from BJ Harvey's first two books, Lost in Distraction and Lost For You. Maybe a slight detour is a more accurate description. You can read the blurb on Amazon or Goodreads, but, in a nutshell, this is Makenna's story. Mac's past has shaped her into the woman she is today; a woman who loves sex but not relationships and Mac has 3 friends-with-benefits. Each one is different, but each one also provides her with the things she needs.But that was not the only emotion I felt while I was read Temporary Bliss. I sighed and swooned over Daniel (AKA Superman). I want to meet someone like him in real life and I'm not just talking about his physical appearance. I want the whole package!"All of Daniel's physical attributes are already measuring mighty high on the Makenna scale of hotness, but that laugh...the low baritone timbre that can stop wars, solve world hunger, and cure women of their need for underwear all at the same time...it is the work of the devil. I swear to God, all he'd have to do is lie there and laugh all day, and I swear I could sit on his chest and get off."Kate, Mac's best friend since she was 8 years old, is the girl you want to have in your corner. Not only is she Mac's BFF but also her confidante, sounding board and partner in crime.Then there are the FWBs (Noah, Sean and Zander AKA the Walking Dildo, Mr. Dom and the Energiser Bunny). I loved Sean and Zander. These are guys you definitely would want to know and have as friends. The jury is still out regarding Noah, but maybe, that's just me.Temporary Bliss also had me laughing and I may have shed a tear or two, some good and some bad.I gave Temporary Bliss 5 out of 5 stars and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.Written by Karen from Confessions of a Bookaholic
