She's an out-of-place single mother...Natalie Castellano didn't have the wedded bliss experience typical of her hometown, but that won't stop her from ensuring this year's bridal festival goes off without a hitch. Even if it means she has to play nice with the man who broke her fairy tale.
He's a thrill-seeking widower...World adventurer and reluctant local hero CJ Blue doesn't want to be in Bliss anymore than Natalie wants him here. But family obligations have brought him back, and now, Natalie is using every trick she has to rope him into helping save a tradition he'd rather forget.

Quick Thoughts: I won Blissed back in December but just never got around to listening to it. I am very picky about my Contemporary Romance and have to be in the right mood to read it. There are 3 things that must exist if I am going to like the book: Funny (I have to laugh), Charming Setting (I have to fall in love with the town), and Real People (I have to relate to the characters). Blissed hit all 3 of those AND I purchased the rest of the series immediately. I have to know what happens to the rest of the ladies in the book because they were a hoot. As for C.J. and Nat, they were a classic comedy of errors pair and it was totally a WIN! I fell in love with them as a couple. I just couldn’t ask for more! I totally recommend Blissed!
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated By Karen White / Length: 11 hrs and 35 mins
Karen is one of my favorite narrators especially for fun, quirky contemporary romances. She delivered on Blissed. She brought C.J. and Nat to life. She made me laugh out loud with Nat’s kiddo and made all the characters come alive! Well worth getting on audio!

During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

I am totally in the mood for good, contemporary romance, so I might check this out! Love the idea of the town of Bliss… cute towns are a must in my romance demands. 😉
Aye setting is important in contemporary romance, I tend to adore small towns 😀
I like your must have criteria. I cannot remember if I have tried White, but you have me listening to a sample of this now 🙂
I don’t read a lot of contemporary romances either but I really enjoyed this one so I am glad you liked it too! 🙂 Karen makes it easy to listen too! 🙂
It was fun. There is a girl here at work that I told she could totally live in Bliss. I am almost done with Book 2 now 🙂
