Worth the read
Whether she's writing as Sophie Oak or using another pen name this author never fails to deliver a great story with lots of hot sex.

The more time I spend in Bliss, the more I enjoy the characters. They are funny, quirky, provide a number of LOL moments. Above all they are protective, friendly, loving, and abundantly loyal to one another.
I really enjoy this series. Although Cam, Laura, and Rafe's story dealt with some fairly intense situations, there were still a number of lighthearted moments.
The culprit was obvious but not obvious. When the serial killer was finally exposed, I could confidently say that I knew it was one of them, lol.
The narration was well done. It allowed me to completely immerse myself in the story. Luckily, I didn't have to work, but managed to get all my other chores completed while I listened.
Based on the trio's HEA, I plan to move on to the next book in the series.

This 3rd book in the Colorado Bliss series is great a lot of action suspense. the serial killer is kept hidden till very end with a lot of possible characters being the murder. I love how each character is very individual in this series. No 2 character are alike even the harper twins. Great HEA. Can't wait for Caleb to come up with more then the word NO!

I’m a bit stumped at what to write really. I really do like this series and some of LB earlier work is much better to what she is churning out today. This is an action packed read filled with the quirky characters from Bliss, Colorado and a serial killer on the loose.
Laura Niles barely survived the Marquis de Sade and as a profiler who handed in a spot-on profile of the killer she was snubbed because it couldn’t have been law enforcement. Betrayed by her lovers who were also in the BAU she fled.
Rafe Kincaid & Cam Briggs choose their careers over Laura and they won’t let it happen a second time. Cam has spent the last four years with his super software searching for Laura. He found her. Rafe has been working the case of the Marquis de Sade and he has now become active again and this time he wants to tie up all loose ends. Including his rabbit Laura.
Without a shadow of a doubt the sex scenes were a scorching. But out of the bedroom there was so much martyrdom it was hard not to get a headache with so much eye roll. If they had talked it out right from the beginning, then there wouldn’t have been so many issues- Just saying.
There are parallels with this series and her M&M series. Eve St. James just happens to be a profiler who has a serial killer that is fanatical about her just like Laura. Cam, Rafe & Laura want to find missing people just like Jake & Adam, okay maybe the idea was vice versa here. It just seems that it has been used before but with some differences. Don’t get me wrong I really enjoyed the book it is just what I observed.
I’m still giving it four stars because a) I can and b.) although I’m picking at it I truly did like it.

Liked it, but maybe not as much as the first couple. But still really good.

Getting a second chance in Bliss!!
I love this series and the fact that so many of the characters come to this quirky town in Colorado for a second chance - at life and at love. Laura, Rafe and Cam's story was amazing and I was hooked from start to finish!! And what I really love is knowing that this book is the menage version of Alex & Eve's story (from the amazing Masters & Mercenaries series) and reading it knowing that, you can definitely see some similarities (in a really positive way!)
Love this story and LOVE LOVE LOVE Bliss!!

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.This has always been one of my favorite books. There are some added scenes but nothing that doesn't enhance the book in any way. I will say that when the serial killer is finally revealed I was so surprised. Even now, I never thought it would be who it was. I just didn't see it. There were a couple of other men that I thought it could be, in fact one for sure. It just goes to show how superb this book is written. I get the feeling I was meant to consider anyone other than who the true killer was.
Laura was a profiler for the FBI but after being thrown under the bus by her colleges and lovers she is captured and tortured by a serial killer. She escapes and then flees. After ending up in Bliss she has started her life over. In fact, she recently went on a date with Wolf, the gorgeous former Navy SEAL who is better suited as her friend. The reason is her heart still belongs to Rafe and Cam even if she doesn't want it to.
Rafe and Cam have spent years searching for Laura and now that they have found her they aren't letting her go. Of course they didn't realize they led the very killer straight to their woman. I love when they hit Bliss! It is great. Two guys in a dark SUV and suits just screams chaos for Bliss. After all they have a resident crazy guy who happens to have a crazy girlfriend.
Cam was my favorite guy in this book. He took to Bliss like a fish takes to water. While there were times that I really hated Rafe. He was so set in how he wanted things to be. He didn't take into consideration what Laura or Cam wanted. It didn't take long for the men of Bliss to set him straight. As I said this is once again a wonderful book full of fabulous characters. Even Henry's inner caveman makes an appearance in this one.This review was originally posted on A Lucky Grace
