Found in Bliss

Nights in Bliss Series, Book 5

Re-released in a second edition with new content.

Holly Lang has a hard time trusting men. Eight years ago, her husband tossed her aside and took her son away from her. Finding the little town of Bliss has given her a second chance at life, new friends, and sense of belonging. Unfortunately, Bliss also seems to have filled her days and nights with dreams of two beautiful men. She can’t stop thinking about the gentle but haunted Dr. Caleb Burke, and the exotic and dangerous Alexei Markov.

Caleb Burke isn’t your ordinary town doctor, but he’s always dedicated himself to trying to be a good man. His journey to this quirky little town was not an easy one. Some of the stops along the way left him scarred in more ways than one. But when he first sees Holly, it’s like someone threw open the blinds and let the sunlight into his life for the first time in years.

Alexei Markov is nothing like Caleb Burke. Working as a hit man for the Russian mafia, he was forced to do unspeakable things. He suffered through all the moral compromises to fulfill one simple goal, killing the man who murdered his brother. When a mission led him to Bliss, he found something more precious than vengeance. A woman named Holly Lang. Throughout months of living in witness protection, testifying against his former employers, all he could think about was finding his way back to her.

After returning to Bliss, Alexei and his strange new ally Caleb discover that they aren’t the only ones interested in Holly. Someone else is stalking her and appears to want her dead. The only way to discover the identity of the killer is for all three to face up to the secrets of their past and work together to fight for everything they have found in Bliss.

Let's Get Physicals

They've all been beaten down, physically and/or metaphorically. I feel like Dr. Caleb Burke (Sommerville) may have gotten the shortest end of the stick. Between rebels, his wife, and his brother's betrayal, he really is delivered a sucky sandwich. It's no wonder he's been the town grump, but his ways? They be a changing.

Thanks to his partners, I am both laughing and cringing at the physicals performed. Caleb's life isn't all storm clouds, but getting him into the sun takes patience. Thanks to Alexei Markov's vision of the future, I love how things get turned around.

Holly Lang.... I honestly cannot figure out what to say about her other than her ex is a db. I like her resilience and snark on the times it pops up. It's too bad she didn't get to enter the club that some of the town's women have been inducted into. Well, maybe they'll evaluate the rules and make an exception? 💥

I love that Alexei knows what he wants early on, and he pursues it with care yet gusto. His mixed metaphors and desire for this trio to be successful make him so stinking lovable.

Micky and his new friends are amusing, bring a little comedy to some otherwise tense moments. I also love how resourceful they turn out to be. I look forward to seeing where life takes them as the series progresses.

I nearly forgot to mention that I love the suspense. The twists are good and had me guessing for longer than expected. 😍

I listened to the audio book. The narrators, Lee Samuels and Kitty Bang, continue to deliver a great experience! 🎧💙🎧

Alexei, Caleb, and Holly

Lately, I have been choosing to listen to audiobooks more than reading physical or ebooks, and I am so glad I decided to listen to Found in Bliss by Lexi Blake. Found in Bliss was hands down the funniest book I have read in a long time. Kitty Bang and Lee Samuels did an amazing job bringing Caleb, Holly, Alexei, and all the other inhabitants of Bliss to life. Their portrayal of Alexei and his Russian accent was stellar. Found in Bliss is by far a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read, but if you want to take your reading experience to the next level, then listen to the audiobook because it gets 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠. I really wish Bliss was real so I could move there!

The Russian Mobster and the Doctor

Hmmmmm...
Those didn't sound like they would go together at all. I guess it all goes to show it is not in the name, but the experiences behind it. Why they became what they did. I think I was just as shocked to note the age differences. Holly deserves it though. I can understand better why some would pick a menage relationship compared to a one on one. Someone always has your back. You have friends and lovers and never feel alone. I can understand a bit better. I don't know if I could do it as right now I am too set in my ways to want one man let alone two, but to each their own. I enjoyed the performance. I am disappointed only one other bliss book is on audible at this time and it is not on audible escape either. Not that I can't read them, but I really like listening and doing other things. so yeah, I am missing the ease of listening to bliss. I know I am not the only one. Truth!

Enjoyable, Humorous, Romantic Suspense!

I thought this book had so many funny moments. You wouldn't think that was possible with A killer skulking around the town of Bliss. I also didn't expect it the way things started out with Holly.

Caleb and Alexei were funny together. Caleb interpreting for Alexei was priceless. Caleb, Holly, and Alexei had some serious issues from their pasts, and seemed like an unlikely trio, but they worked.

There was a fair amount of mystery, suspense, drama, and action. That seemed to be the usual state of being for the town of Bliss. I enjoyed all the characters in Bliss, and usually do.

The narration was well done and the book was enjoyable. It guarantees an HEA, and has me looking forward to the next book in the series.

Alexie and Caleb are fantastic!

I fell I love with Caleb and Alexie from the day they sat down in stella’s together for the first time and then took the twins out to play hockey. Caleb understands him on a level that holly doesn’t. The fact that he can explain to her what Alexie is trying to say is sweet. Alexie is willing to do whatever it takes to “Fix” Caleb. Holly is a said for what she went through with her ex. She deserved this HEA. Also Mickey is a sweet kid. It was about time we had a full blown gay character introduced. There was nothing I didn’t like about this book.
