4.5

Hopefully, you’ve read my last review; I didn’t skip a book and am happy about it. Next up is Laura an FBI agent who goes to Bliss after being assaulted by a serial killer and profiling that it was a person who’s in law enforcement. First, and thank goodness, there were no ‘real’ problems with getting the years apart correct except from 1. The King of Bliss (read the book, love the Dom in all the books more than the book dedicated to him 😞) staid “no one comes to my town without a real background check”. She had been there for five years so the background check would’ve been done under Ry, not Nate (the new Sheriff). Now it’s probably understood that it was Ry but Nate was mentioned prior so... Have to say that Nate saying he read Laura’s file the morning feds arrived helps. Nevertheless, and shaking my head again, we have a problem throughout the book. Not with year counting (like the last book) but with language. Let me explain. All American Boy meets Miami born Cuban American FBI Agents and have a great time and fall in love with Laura. Maybe it’s the audiobook version but Hispanics and Spanish speakers don’t say Bella (like Twighlight), they say bella (pronounced bā-yah or bay-jah depending the region they’re from. So if All American learns how to say it, he’ll learn with his Gringo accent and I’ve heard a few. It still doesn’t sound like bella). So throughout the listening process it was grating.but not enough to fast forward or wish the best for the Agents. Now, it would’ve been easier on the ears if he had been a NY Italian American. Story was funny, scary, and quite entertaining and the storyline kept me focused on the main characters a lot more than a potential love affair between the supporting actors like the last book. Did I say the book was funny? Had me busting a seam and laughing out loud (but you need to read earlier books to get it. Truly Hilarious! Sensuality and hot scenes are STILL hot, hot, 🔥! Oh, I would’ve given a shout out to Wolfe at the party for playing the fake fiancé. READ THIS BOOK! I can’t wait for Holly, the Russian, and the Doc

No trust...

If someone says they love you they need to show it. These "hero's" were crap at that. they told her over and over. They wanted to prove the attraction all they time too. They wanted to blame her for getting the hell out after being betrayed by everyone she thought she cared about. Not one of those guys thought about what she went through. It had to be explained. Sure I will give my life for you, but I won't believe you know what you are talking about professionally. They love her so much, but treat her like she is not good enough. They don't even stick around after the fact to talk to her. Why? Cause this was started by lust that they wouldn't control. So they want her, but are screwed up about it. They love her, but don't trust her judgement. They want her, but fear losing their jobs. So she gets the boot, gets kidnapped, attacked, almost dies, but saves herself and they decide she will be fine and they will take care of her. Seriously? Who the hell do they think they are? No dick is that good! The excuse of "I made a mistake" is never good enough in my book. You lost me when you threw her under the bus and she had to save herself. Then act like you got it all under control. I would never feel safe. I would have been gone. I would have relied on myself as the only one to trust. Even at the end I still have mixed feelings about the relationship. They put money and time into finding her and that makes them worthy of her? Nope! No trust there. No warmth. Lack of real compassion. Acted the part. Couldn't feel enough emotion for a real relationship. Just two men who fell in lust with a hot chick and didn't want to let her go. Just my thoughts and feelings. The performance was great though. Story is what bothed me most.

This one doesn’t celebrate the woman

This story went over the line of alpha males. Rafael and Cam don’t listen to Laura at all, don’t respect her free will, and although she likes it, the sex is too forceful. The entire conversation among the males where a woman is compared to a horse that needs breaking is such unanswered bull that I almost stopped listening. Blaming a woman who had been betrayed and then tortured for days for leaving was truly unbelievable, especially from an officer who is in a serial killer unit. And if ever a strong heroine landed in Bliss, I don’t know of an ex-FBI agent who has been in such trials, but that strength is never shown here. I don’t know if the editor didn’t do a good job or what, but this had a very different flavor from her other books in this series. I primarily listened to the end to see if those men would have a change of heart (they don’t really) and give a review. The performance suffers from the same lack of appropriate emotion and mediocre production as the rest of the books.

AWESOME SERIES

Love this series. Always hungry for more. Love the humor, mystery and definitely the love scenes. Keep them coming Lexi Blake

I didn’t feel the connection very much

It was a great mysterious murder plot, but for some reason I just didn’t feel a real connection between the three. Maybe because the two men fought the idea of truly sharing for too long in the story.

Still Loving Bliss.....

I'm loving Lexi Blake`s storylines!!!! I'm so into it that I'm barely noticing the female narrator is using the same voice for ALL MALE voices and I believe the same voice the females but don't quote me because there's a lot of straight narration in the books too...

Just can't put these books down!!!!

These books are amazing!! Narrators were perfect. I had the wrong serial killer until end
