Back in Bliss

angsty, spicy and intriguing

BACK IN BLISS is the ninth instalment in Lexi Blake’s (aka Sophie Oak) contemporary, adult NIGHTS IN BLISS COLORADO erotic, BDSM, ménage romance series focusing on the men and women of Bliss, Colorado. This is Dom Logan Green, billionaire businessman Seth Stark, and PA Georgia Dawson’s story line. BACK IN BLISS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise including violence and sexual abuse, there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers.

NOTE: BACK IN BLISS is the release of the 2013 novel written as Sophie Oak with additional content.

Told from three third person perspectives (Logan, Seth, Georgia) BACK IN BLISS follows the fractured relationship and dynamic between Dom and sheriff’s deputy Logan Green, billionaire businessman Seth Stark, and PA Georgia Dawson. Two years earlier Logan Green’s life imploded when the Russian mob destroyed Logan’s heart and his soul, breaking the man he once was. Unable to face the people he loved, Logan pushed everyone out of his life including his best friend Seth, and the woman they loved Georgia Dawson. Fast forward to present day wherein Logan is called to Bliss Colorado, the scene of untold horror and pain for our storyline hero. With no place to stay, Logan finds himself face to face with Georgia and Seth, who are in Bliss to work, or so Georgia has been told. What ensues is the rebuilding friendship and relationship between Logan, Seth and Georgia, and the potential fall-out as Seth and Georgia become collateral damage for sins of the past.

Logan Green and Seth Stark have been best friends for most of their life but the abuse Logan suffered at the hands of the mob broke Logan Green both inside and out. Seth Stark was desperate to reconnect with his best friend, and loving Georgia Dawson would definitely bring Logan back into the fold but Georgia believes Logan wants nothing to do with her since the day Logan rejected our story line heroine.

The relationship between Logan and Seth is a lifelong friendship that have been damaged by Logan’s inability to move on from the past. Seth hired Georgia as his business PA, and in an effort to reconnect with his best friend, Seth offers up a ménage relationship with the woman he loves. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense, without the use of over the top,sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including Henry Flanders and Nell Finn (Once Upon a Time in Bliss #8) as well as Logan’s two mothers Marie and Teeny, Dr. Caleb Burke, Georgia’s brothers Ben, Chase, Mark, Dare and Winter,; James, Noah and Hope; Cam,Callie and Sheriff Nathan Wright; and psychiatrist Leo Meyer.

BACK ON BLISS is a story of heartbreak, betrayal, vengeance and love; of a rekindling friendships, and a happily ever after. The premise is raw and gritty; the romance is seductive and passionate; the characters are charismatic, broken but on the mend. BACK IN BLISS is an angsty, spicy and intriguing story of second chances.
