★★★★★ “Light romance is fun, but a soulful lesbian romance is a rare delight.”

Here’s the blurb:

Sometimes what you’re running from is exactly what you need

Olivia Chevalier is perfectly happy living a quiet life of solitude with her two cats in the tempestuous countryside of Brittany.

Olivia’s peace is disrupted when heartbreaker extraordinaire Marie Dievart moves in to the holiday home next door after an event at work makes her flee her everyday life.

Olivia hates having a neighbour and Marie is put off by Olivia’s cranky ways.

But maybe these two women have more in common than they first believe.

Best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss brings you a slow-burn opposites-attract story about the power of connection and opening yourself up to the possibility of love.

Don’t miss That Woman Next Door if you like any or all of these things:
– The slowest of slow burns 🔥
– Match-maker cats 😻
– Complex characters doing All The Processing 😆
– The most delicious case of opposites attract 😎

And, of course, the return of the infamous Marie Dievart… 🇫🇷

Don’t go expecting French Kissing-like drama, though. Olivia is not into that At All!

NOTE: Even though Marie Dievart is a French Kissing character, this book is standalone. Absolutely no prior knowledge is required.

I am super happy I managed to finish this book AND I’m extremely pleased with it. It’s also very special to me, for many reasons.

It’s chock-full of angst and lesbian processing and women being so bloody difficult… but there are also cats and jokes and banter and the craziest case of chemistry between two characters you might have encountered in a while… 😎

Here’s how my editor put it in her notes:

“One of the things I really liked about it was its emotional slow-burn. Not a physical one, no no, but the emotion built so slowly. It’s like a piece of classical music that takes its sweet time and a couple of movements, but eventually builds to a stunning crescendo.”

I’m so happy with this book and I can only hope you feel the same way!

★★★★★ “A fabulous story of two very complex women that I adored.”

★★★★★ “Gloriously bittersweet and poignant.”

★★★★★ “Thoughtful without being heavy.”

★★★★★ “Each of Harper’s new releases becomes my favourite and this is no exception — it really is that good!”

Two New Audio Releases

September 14, 2021 by Harper Bliss Leave a Comment

Both At Your Most Beautiful and About That Kiss are out on audio this week!

I do hope a Craden Climax and a Dawe-gasm are not too much for you in quick succession like that. 😊

Here’s a reminder of what About That Kiss is all about:

What if the greatest role of your life is playing your true self?

Ida Burton used to be Hollywood’s sweetheart until the best roles started drying up in her forties.

When Ida lands one of the leads in a big-budget lesbian rom-com, it’s not only a chance at reviving her dwindling career. Maybe this movie can be an opportunity to finally burst out of the closet she’s forced herself into.

Faye Fleming has been at the top of her acting game and collecting awards for the past few years. When she’s cast in a huge blockbuster opposite the legendary Ida Burton, she’s over the moon.

Ida and Faye hit it off. The chemistry on set is through the roof… until their characters’ first kiss.

Grab your copy of the feel-good lesbian read of the summer now!

As usual, Abby Craden is amazing and her voice is simply made to bring Ida and Faye to life. It all sounds magnificently glam and sexy and irresistible to me. ❤️

And here’s what At Your Most Beautiful is about:

Some nights are unforgettable…

Ten years ago, Quinn Hathaway and Maya Mercer shared a night of forbidden passion they vowed to keep secret forever.

When Quinn and Maya meet again, old sparks fly, but none of the reasons to hide their passion have changed.

Quinn is still much younger and Maya has never told her son that she’s attracted to women.

Can Maya overcome her fear of what her family might think of her?

And how will Quinn’s parents, who used to be Maya’s next-door neighbors, react to their daughter’s unconventional love affair?

Best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss brings you a second-chance age-gap story about not being afraid of living life on your own terms.

Sultry age-gap romance + Angela Dawe = a match made in heaven! ❤️

★★★★★ “Wow, what a story!” – Amazon Reviewer

Don’t miss About That Kiss if you like any or all of these things:
💋 Super-glamorous lady-loving celebrities 😎
💋 A never-ending first kiss (hence the title!) 💋💋💋
💋 Off-the-charts chemistry 😋
💋 A feel-good story that will make you smile for days 😃

The first draft of this book sprouted from my fingers during an at-home writing retreat I experimented with in May and it was just So Much Fun. I had a massive party going on in my head every single day and it was utterly glorious.

The result is a glamorous feel-good celebrity romance chock-full of chemistry and kisses (hence the title).

While high on drama, this book is fairly low on angst. It’s not an age-gap romance, nor is it one of those books in which I’m trying to expel some of my own personal demons. It’s just a fun, breezy read (and did I mention all the kissing?) 💋

I’m rarely this pleased with a book and I can only hope you feel the same way!

Do let me know what you think. 😊

★★★★★ “Harper Bliss builds a story like no other. Layer upon layer gets added, the emotions build, until we have this exquisite story that leads you to such a beautiful place with a smile on your face…”

★★★★★ “A gorgeous feel-good story full of warmth, community, and star quality.”

★★★★★ “Fun and flirty! The only thing better than the banter between the MCs are the steamy love scenes.”

★★★★★ “I read it in less than a day, it was that good.”

NEW RELEASE: At the Water’s Edge – Deluxe Edition

June 10, 2021 by Harper Bliss 1 Comment

At the Water’s Edge first came out in November 2014, so six and a half years ago (time flies when you write highly dramatic lesbian romance!)

I know this books means a lot to many of you (to me as well) and you can now get it in a super swanky hardback edition with the sequel novella It Takes Two included.

Here’s the blurb:

Sometimes you need to go back to where you came from.

Ella returns to her lakeside Oregon town to escape the pain of recent trauma.

Love is the last thing on her mind — until she meets Kay, the kind and beautiful owner of a lake resort.

Ella thought she didn’t have time for love, but this extraordinary woman may just prove her wrong.

A deeply emotional read by best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss.

What readers are saying about AT THE WATER’S EDGE:

“I found it to be a profound, heart-rending, and ultimately uplifting and powerful story. Highly recommended.”

“About overcoming your fears and inner demons to allow yourself to love, be loved and be happy.”

What reviewers are saying about AT THE WATER’S EDGE:

“A privilege to read, joining my all time best top ten titles.” – Lesbian Reading Room

“Refreshing and gripping.” – Planet London

This deluxe edition includes the sequel novella It Takes Two:

What if the love of your life proposes but you’re not the marrying kind?

Ella and Kay are living happily ever after in Northville, but when Kay asks Ella to marry her, their happiness is threatened by Ella’s past.

Will Ella be able to overcome her fear of tying the knot and give Kay what she wants more than anything? Find out in this sequel to At the Water’s Edge.

Please note: This is NOT a new book. This is a special edition of a previously released novel and sequel novella, both of which have been published before and are now packaged into a gorgeous hardcover.

★★★★★ “I have come to expect something special from Ms Bliss, but this even transcends my expectations – another block-buster!” – Amazon Reviewer

Here’s the blurb:

Some nights are unforgettable…

Ten years ago, Quinn Hathaway and Maya Mercer shared a night of forbidden passion they vowed to keep secret forever.

When Quinn and Maya meet again, old sparks fly, but none of the reasons to hide their passion have changed.

Quinn is still much younger and Maya has never told her son that she’s attracted to women.

Can Maya overcome her fear of what her family might think of her?

And how will Quinn’s parents, who used to be Maya’s next-door neighbors, react to their daughter’s unconventional love affair?

Best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss brings you a second-chance age-gap story about not being afraid of living life on your own terms.

Note: If you enjoy the heady feeling of spring being in the air, this book will be the perfect companion to that.

While writing, I very much had the summer-y vibe of Seasons of Love and the sultriness of If You Kiss Me Like That in mind. If those two books were to have a book baby, At Your Most Beautiful would be the result!

I wanted to give you a ‘vintage’ Harper Bliss age-gap romance with an extra sexy twist of second-chance, and I hope At Your Most Beautiful brings you the comfort (and heat!) I was aiming for. 🔥

I wrote this book much more deliberately and slowly, expecting to get tired of Quinn and Maya at some point (because I have the writerly attention span of a naughty kitten), but I never did. I loved every minute I spent bringing them to life on the page and I hope you enjoy the result of my efforts. Do let me know what you think. 😊

★★★★★ “I couldn’t put the book down.”

★★★★★ “A courageous and heart-warming age-gap tale.”

★★★★★ “Minimal angst, just a lovely story.”

At Your Most Beautiful is available on all retailers:

NEW RELEASE: A Breathless Place – Audiobook

March 4, 2021 by Harper Bliss 2 Comments

Finally, finally, finally! 🥳🥳🥳

A Breathless Place, read by Abby Craden, is available from all audio retailers (Audible included)! 🤩

Get it here:
– Direct from Author
– Amazon US
– Amazon UK
– Audible US
– Audible UK
– Apple
– Scribd
– Google Play
– Kobo
– Chirp

FYI, you can also find all my books (in all formats, audio included) in your library.

Here’s a reminder of what A Breathless Place is about:

When all hope is lost, can music be the ultimate lifeline?

Isabel ‘Izzy’ Adler used to dominate the world’s stages with her vocal acrobatics. But since she lost her voice ten years ago, Izzy’s been to hell—and hasn’t found her way back.

When journalist Leila Zadeh is brought in to finish her biography, Izzy’s dark plans for her life are challenged by the brilliant and gorgeous new woman in her life.

Will the instant attraction between them be enough to stop Izzy from playing out her final song?

Best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss brings you a hopeful story about what it takes to choose life again—and the incredible power of artistic expression.

★★★★★ “There is so much hope and power in this story, it’s simply magnificent.”

★★★★★ “Beautifully written, powerful novel about the strength of your own voice.”

Needless to say, I’m over the moon with Abby Craden as a narrator for this book, especially because it means so much to me. And trust me: she does NOT disappoint!

(Cheeky) warning: do not read/listen to this book if you believe women above a certain age should no longer ‘get it on’! 😉

On a more serious note: some of the reviews for this book really touched me. Even my Mrs admitted to having an emotion at reading a few of them, and that doesn’t happen very often. 😉

Happy listening! 🎧
