Brooke’s Bliss

Nights in Bliss, Colorado, Book 15

By: Lexi Blake, Sophie Oak

Narrated by: Kitty Bang, Lee Samuels, Ryan West

Brooke Harper thought she would make it big in New York City, but she knew her heart would always be back in her hometown of Bliss, Colorado. She’d intended to come home as the big-shot fashion designer she’d always wanted to be, but her dream job turned into a nightmare, and now she’s crawling home to lick her wounds. When she meets up with two hot cowboys one night at Hell on Wheels, she decides they’re just what she needs to get her groove back.

Bailey Kent hasn’t stopped thinking about Brooke since he met her years before when he first visited Bliss. She’s his dream woman, and now she’s within reach. She responds so beautifully not only to him, but to his brother. They’ve shared women all their lives, but both know Brooke is the one. There’s only one problem. She’s his muse, but she sees him as a way station, not the destination on this journey she’s taking.

Only one problem? Shane Kent knows his brother sometimes doesn’t see the bigger picture. Bay’s head and heart are wrapped up in his art, and it’s Shane’s job to remember the reality of whatever situation they’re in, and this time it’s big trouble. Their last job took them to a ranch that might have been selling more than cattle. Shane witnessed something criminal and they ran, but their old crew is looking for them and he’s worried they’ll find Brooke, too. And then there’s the fact that they once hit on her sister-in-law and her brothers hate them....

It'll take a miracle to bring these three together, so it’s a good thing Bliss is known for them.

Creepy Stalkers 😉

Before even opening this, I took a moment to acquaint myself with the characters. Like the Harper twins, Brooke Harper's older brothers, half-brothers Bailey (Bay) and Shane Kent have a propensity to share women. Oh yeah, I definitely like it already. 😘🥵

Shane has some childhood baggage that continues to weigh him down. It most definitely impacts his view of the world and his value to it. I hate that anyone is made to feel like that, especially a child who had no say in the things that happened. Despite it, I love how he looks out for Bay and, later, Brooke, putting them first.

The chemistry is great, even if they do require a kick in the pants on occasion. The patience and understanding come across masterfully, and the role playing keeps things fresh. 😘

I love the missteps, retreats, forward steps, searing heat, action, friendship, and love - romantic, family, and friendly kinds. This book really has a perfect blend. I can't wait for more tales from Bliss!

BTW - Paige, Brooke's niece, is an absolute gem! 😂 She has all the best qualities of Rachel, Rye, and Max. She fits in perfectly with this family and town. Poppy is of similar caliber, and I love it!

Speaking of the town, one of my favorite things about Lexi's books is the characters that keep popping up, even after they've gotten their HEAs. The town is ever growing, and being able to catch up / keep up with all the goings on in true small-town fashion always lights up my day. 🧡🩵🥰🩷💜

I received an author's copy of the audio book. I love all the narrators - Ryan West, Kitty Bang, and Lee Samuels - especially Ryan. 🤭🥰 I enjoy listening to each of them. 🎧❤️🎧

Great Book!

This was a great book to wrap up Bliss before the time jump for the kids. Ryan West is my favorite.

Amazing as always!

Another fantastic installment in the Bliss series! I love every single book in this series! From the story to the narrators you can’t go wrong with this why choose, romantic suspense book! There’s a super exciting story with plenty of steamy bits waiting for you! You need this whole series in your life!!!

Brooke’s 5 star Bliss!

Bliss just gets better and better! I could not wait for Brooke’s story! Sometimes you just need to go home to find your home with two hot cowboys! It is the bliss way after all. This books has everything you want in a Lexi Blake book, humor, romance, steamy and found family. The audio book was a perfection as well.

Step brothers and MFM, why not?

LOVE this audio!! Kitty Bang is, obviously, Brooke. And step-brothers Shane and Bay are narrated by Ryan West and Lee Samuels. It’s am MFM menage, with a sexy cowboy, a soulful artist and a woman who’s trying to find her place in the world. Both West and Samuels are so perfect for these roles as Brooke’s love interests. Samuels has a kind of whimsical aspect to his narration, which fits perfectly for Bay’s artistic nature and unique manner. Shane is the more serious stoic one and Ryan West Filled that role to perfection. I enjoyed Kitty Bang’s performance as Brooke. She had a great range for the various characters and a slight richer tone to her voice, which worked well for the male parts.

Now for the book…After losing her job in New York, Brooke comes home to try and figure her life out and plan her next steps. She wanted a few sultry nights with Shane and Bay, yet she didn’t realize how much more she wanted from them. With these two men as her partners Brooke starts to feel seen for who she really is. Add in her overprotective brothers who still see her as a helpless child, quirky town residents, and suspense with some nefarious dealings and this book carries you along for an enjoyable ride.

Lexi Blake is a master at writing engaging banter. And Ryan West is so perfect at narrating the banter between Shane and Bay. These two brothers are so entertaining. Bay is the quirky artistic one who has his head in the creative clouds. But he’s a perfect brother match for Shane seriousness. They are two peas in a pod.

You may remember Brooke from book 1 of this series, Three to Ride, where her brother Rye and Max get their love story, falling for Rachel. Although I didn’t read all of the other books in the series, I did read this first one. So, it was a joy to get reintroduced to those characters again.
