REVIEW: Fall by Karina Bliss

KaetrinB+ Reviews / Recommended ReadsContemporary / New Zealand / Rock-Star6 Comments

Dear Karina Bliss, When I read the You Had Me At Christmas anthology recently, my favourite novella was Play. When you offered me a review copy of Fall, I snapped it up. It took me much of the book to work out that Fall begins before the action in Play. ... more >

REVIEW: Bring Him Home by Karina Bliss

JaneB+ Reviews / Recommended Readsfriends-to-lovers / grief / widow10 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Bliss: Your last few books have had a sort of a madcap adventure feel to them and so “Bring Him Home” is a change in tone and pace. It deals with grief and recovery and discovery and relies less on external conflict and more on the internal changes ... more >

lazaraspasteA ReviewsContemporary / Farmer / friends-to-lovers / Harlequin SuperRomance / Karina Bliss / Military / secret42 Comments

Dear Ms. Bliss, Jane sent me Here Comes the Groom after I told her how much I loved your last book, What the Librarian Did. Like What the Librarian Did, Here Comes the Groom takes a fairly cliched romance novel convention and gives it the kind depth and re-charge that ... more >

Dear Ms. Bliss: I hope that is your real name. I love it.   Miss Bliss.   Has a very naughty sound to it.   In any event, it wasn’t your name that prompted me to pick up this title. Instead it was a combination of things.   First, an excerpt of your book, ... more >
