Book Details:
Title: Blyss (The Blyss Trilogy Book #1)
Author: J.C.
Cliff
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Day: September 16, 2014
Synopsis:
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF SUCH A
GENRE—THE LIGHTER SIDE OF DARK?
Everyone will have their own
definition of "Dark" vs. "Contemporary", and perhaps there
is a mixture of the two. I like to call this the “Grey” genre.
However,
there is one thing for certain; you haven't ever read this type of story
before. Blyss is an original, one of a kind storyline in theme, circumstance,
and character action.
You will
definitely need all three books in order to put together the pieces of this
puzzle, but isn't that what makes reading fun? Book one sets the stage while
you begin to embrace the thrill, the suspense, and the anticipation. There
is a romance story amongst all the turmoil…you will just have to hang on for
the ride.

4 Star Review by Jen Hagen
Julianna is 2 weeks away from her 21st
birthday and is spending her summer break from college at home at the
insistence of her father – which should be a clue that something is amiss as
her father normally has nothing to do with her.
Julianna’s mother passed away when Julianna was almost 2 years old and
has left Julianna’s upbringing to boarding schools. Julianna has a wonderful
fiancée, Adam, who has treated her with white gloves as if she is a
princess. Julianna is still a virgin and
Adam has never once expected that she give it to him before she’s ready – she’s
saving it for their wedding night. One
evening Julianna hears voices coming from her father’s office and her life is
about to change…
I am witnessing the
calm before the storm. I can feel it in
the air; some serious shit is about to unfold, and I can do at the moment is try
to catch my breath.
Julianna finds herself immersed in a totally new world of
sexual desire – something that is completely new to her. One could say she is in a constant state of
bliss and arousal. The subject of her
sexual desire is Travis. He makes her
feel things sexually that she has never before experienced or wanted. Travis is a professional when it comes to his
job. He takes his “personal training”
very seriously.
This line of work
is cutthroat. If one didn’t stay on
their toes and watch their back at every turn, they would find themselves
six-feet-under in the blink of an eye.
Travis is very handsome and his eyes are so
expressive; everything he doesn’t speak
is conveyed through his eyes. Travis is
also a little secretive when it comes to his past.
There was static
electricity that existed between us, and it could not be denied. I had only felt that once before in my entire
life, and I can’t afford to ever entertain that feeling of connection with
another ever again. I won’t allow it;
there is too much at stake now.
There is another reason why Travis has to hold himself
back from acting out his sexual desires for Julianna. Travis is in business with his partner, Nick,
and Nick has had an unhealthy obsession with Julianna for a very long
time.
“You’re my
forever. I’ve wanted you from the first
moment I laid eyes on you. I’ve been
watching your every move for years, stragetically planning.”
Well that certainly sounds a little borderline crazy with
a bit of stalker thrown in. Julianna is
contradicted by her feelings for Travis and her love for Adam. She tries to
fight off the explicit desire for Travis, but for some reason she just can’t
shake it. Julianna doesn’t know what to
believe when it comes to Travis…does he feel the electricity between the two of
them like she does or is he manipulating her as part of his job?
“I’m about to make
you feel things you never knew existed, and I can’t wait to see you writhing
under my touch as I give you pleasure.”
This is the first in the trilogy and although initially I
was a little skeptical with the storyline, the further I became invested into
it the more engrossed I became. It is a
unique storyline and holy macaroni is Travis hot. He can use his body weight to hold me down
until I’m complacent at any time…and that part in the story is H O T.
“I’ll never
be done trying to escape. You have no right to do this to me,” I hiss.
He begins
stalking toward me, and I find myself shrinking away from his advancing form;
so much for renewed determination. With my back pressed into the wall, I try my
damnedest to meld into it, to disappear, but it doesn’t work. I start sliding
my body along the wall to try to escape him, until he has me caught in the
corner. My heart begins to pound loudly against my breast bone. He’s taunting
me with his dominating power as he slowly trails me; his eyes portray a hungry
wolf getting ready to devour his trapped prey.
“Even if
you thought you could escape, which you can’t, we have cameras in every place
imaginable,” he states matter-of-factly. “We’re so good; we can hear you
devising a plan before you can even act on it.”
I blink hard,
shaking myself from the shock, and start running scenarios through my mind of
where they would hide cameras. I gasp, horrified to think...no...I shake my
head and whisper with incredulity, “You guys watch me use the bathroom?”
Travis chuckles,
finding my mortification amusing, and lifts a brow. “I did say everywhere,
sweetheart.” He then takes another step towards me, and I can do nothing at
this point. Being pinned in the corner, with my back to the wall, I’m a
helpless victim. My heart sinks to my toes as I slide my body down the wall and
curl myself into a tiny ball, trying to feel safe. The fear I feel has me
losing my breath, and the moment my bottom comes into contact with the cold
tile floor, I hug my knees to my chest. It’s my only defense at this point.
