Synopsis:

Makenna Lewis cringes at any mention of the word commitment. She doesn’t want or need a relationship, but she does like sex (who doesn't). 


That explains Noah, Sean, and Zander, her three 'friends with benefits'.

They know the score, they know they're not the only one, and each of them provide her with a different physical need that she craves and enjoys.  

Until a late night encounter with the delicious Daniel Winters turns her preconceived notion of no-commitment completely on its head.  

Soon she finds herself feeling things she vowed never to 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?

If you’re Mac, you run and hide.

But is Daniel the type of man who takes no for an answer?
 


Excerpt


“Kate, it’s Mac. I need a ticket home, today,” I spit out, my voice still shaky from spending the last hour crying.

“About freaking time, babe. Pack your stuff, go to the airport, and I’ll see you soon.”

“Kate?”

“Yeah, babe?”

“I love you.”

“I love you too, Mac. I’m so glad you’re coming home. Everything is going to be okay.”

I grab whatever I can and stuff it into the two suitcases I have in the closet. I check that I’ve got only what I need, then carry the bags to the front door. I take my key off my key ring and place it on the kitchen counter. I take one last look around the empty room that has been my home for the past six months. Scratch that, I can’t even say it’s been a home. A home is full of love, and warmth, and for the past five months it’s been full of lies, deceit and if I’m going to be honest, fear.

“Goodbye, Beau Gregory,” I whisper as I click the lock and pull the door closed behind me.

Walking away from this life, I make a vow to myself; never again will my life be dictated by a man, and never again will I let love lead me astray.

But as I’ll soon find out not four years later, vows are made to be broken.

My Review

I received an Arc Copy of Temporary Bliss 

Makenna Lewis is broken, has split with boyfriend Beau and heads back to the city of Chicago  to her best friend Kate.

Four years on Makenna or Mac has one rule no commitment. This is why she has 3 friends with benefits Zander, Sean and Noah. Each gives her something different and knows her rules.

Until she meets Daniel Winters who turns her world upside down.

Ok you know I don't do spoilers. And this one is no different. I am frightened to say too much in case I give too much away.

This book had me at the synopsis and Book Trailer. I couldn't wait to read it. I wasn't disappointed. The only thing I am going to say/warn about with this book is this:

1 - Find a room with a lock.
2 - Go inside said room lock the door and put a Do Not Disturb sign on door.
3 - Be prepared to forego normal life as you know it till its read.

I LOVED this book. I loved everything about it. This is the kind of book that pulls you in and tugs on your emotions. I wanted to cry, scream and shout at times. I was 34% in and needed to find a room or cave to hide away till I came out-I was beginning to sound like a growly bear.

Everything about this book is right. there wasn't one bit of this book that was wrong. I loved Makenna. I could relate to her in so many ways. I loved her best friend Kate with her no nonsense attitude. But I love most of all Daniel Winters - Ladies we have a new book boyfriend in the building in the form of Daniel Winters.

This review may seem cryptic but once you read it you will know why. I Literally cant say too much with out giving anything away. If you don't buy this book you are missing out BIG time.

This book gets 5/5 stars and 5/5 for movie moments.
