NEW RELEASE: Life in Bits – Audiobook

December 21, 2020 by Harper Bliss Leave a Comment

With no less than 10 titles released in 2020, it’s been a huge audio year for me.

I’m super happy that the last audio release for this year is Life in Bits, the small-town, age-gap Christmas romance I co-wrote with my friend T.B. Markinson two years ago!

Life in Bits is read by lesfic favourite Stephanie Murphy and makes for a perfect listen this time of year.

Here’s the blurb:

Can a Christmas romance mend a life that’s broken to pieces?

Eileen Makenna is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer who has traveled the world for over two decades, chasing the next big story. She returns home for the holidays shattered by a life-altering event and facing the terrifying prospect she’ll never be able to work again.

When Eileen meets Naomi Weaver, a small-town girl who dedicates her free time to helping those in need, Eileen is entranced by Naomi’s zest for life. Can Eileen overcome her inner demons and troubled family relationships to let Naomi in?

Best-selling lesbian romance authors Harper Bliss & T.B. Markinson have teamed up to bring this touching age-gap love story to life.

The audiobook (narrated by Angela Dawe) will be released on 9 February 2021.

★★★★★ “An incredibly hot and heart-warming addition to one of my favourite series!”

Here’s the blurb:

When love finds you, resistance is futile

Jill Becket knows she’s in trouble the minute a brand new, gorgeous client walks into her practice.

Amelia Shaw is suffering from a massive burnout, and has no clue of the calamitous effect she’s having on her new therapist.

Jill’s ethical code prevents her from acting on her feelings.

Falling in love is so low on Amelia’s priority list, she doesn’t even consider it. Her only current life goal is to feel better.

Can these two women find each other despite the professional and personal obstacles they face?

Best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss brings you this joyful and lighthearted 10th book in the much-loved Pink Bean series.

Every book in the Pink Bean series can be read as a standalone without having read the others.

★★★★★ “A warm and beautifully written love story.”

★★★★★ “I absolutely loved that it ends on a very happy note. It left me with high spirits and a huge smile on my face.”

★★★★★ “Exciting new characters and a warm reunion with old friends.”

I couldn’t be more pleased with this 10th book in the series. First reactions have been lovely and pre-orders have been selling like hotcakes (baked on Pink Bean premises, of course.) 🍰

After the year we’ve all had, my only intention with this book is to put a smile on your face.

Of course, there’s some tension and a bit of mild angst (I’m still me), but there are no big dramas, only a bunch of female soccer players (some old Pink Bean favourites might even have a go at it), oodles of Australian Christmas sunshine, a scorching hot first kiss, and a looooong love scene to keep you warm during cold winter nights.

To sum it up: At First Sight is supposed to be a light read for the dark times we live in.

If you can’t celebrate the holidays with your loved ones because of lockdown and travel restrictions (if so, I feel you, as I won’t be able to see my family this year either), maybe finding yourself among some familiar Pink Bean characters can lift your spirits!

Enjoy! ❤️

P.S. I’ll share my ‘fantasy casting’ for Jill & Amelia soon!

NEW RELEASE: If You Kiss Me Like That – Audiobook

November 25, 2020 by Harper Bliss Leave a Comment

This book has been such a huge summer hit and now you can listen to Carmen Rose (who also narrated Seasons of Love!) read it to you out loud.

From your reactions and the number of copies sold, I can pretty safely conclude that If You Kiss Me Like That is a new fan favourite! (Side note: I’m working on a brand new high-chemistry age gap as we speak.)

I’m so thrilled that Carmen Rose is back to narrate.

If you need some distraction from current events (or, perhaps, find yourself without your family on Thanksgiving), this audiobook will offer you some light relief. (It’s best listened to in private, anyway — for obvious reasons.) 😉

Here’s the blurb:

Sometimes love shows up where you least expect it

Ashley ‘Ash’ Cooper is still reeling after her recent divorce, throwing all her energy into her job in The City. When she’s seated next to one of her mother’s friends at a family party, falling in love is the last thing on her mind.

After losing her husband many years ago, Gloria Young rebuilt herself as a single parent. Now that her daughters are both at university, she’s perfectly content with her quiet life in the village of Murraywood.

An unexpectedly enjoyable evening with a friend’s daughter pushes Gloria into exploring a new side of herself.

Will she overcome her fear of what people think and allow herself a new chance at happiness?

And can Ash let go of the past and open herself up to love again?

Best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss brings you a sultry age-gap story about stepping out of your comfort zone and into the warm embrace of love.

“Harper Bliss took me on a very dark, emotional, romantic, hopeful and deep ride!” – GoodReads Reviewer

Here’s the blurb:

The date is set. Six months from now, former music icon Isabel ‘Izzy’ Adler will die.

Since she lost her voice ten years ago, Izzy’s been to hell—and hasn’t found her way back. She would rather die than live without the instrument that used to define her.

When journalist Leila Zadeh is brought in to finish her biography, Izzy’s desire to end her life is profoundly challenged. But is the attraction between the two women enough to upend Izzy’s plan?

Best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss brings you a moving story about a woman’s journey from wanting death to choosing life.

Content warning: this book discusses the topic of suicide and may trigger certain readers.

★★★★★ “I couldn’t put it down from the first page to the last. My emotions were all over the place. A must read for all.” – Amazon Reviewer

As you might have guessed from the blurb, A Breathless Place has a darkness to it. It’s much more in the vein of At the Water’s Edge and In the Distance There Is Light, than, let’s say, If You Kiss Me Like That or Seasons of Love.

It’s more a book for the die-hard Harper Bliss fan (if such a person exists) than it is one that will attract new readers.

But A Breathless Place is a book I had to write. And sometimes, I write darker books. (I will ALWAYS give you a happy ending, though. You can count on that.) Books that are more of a challenge to read. It’s my nature. A Breathless Place is also a book I haven’t been able to shake yet. Some of the scenes have stuck with me all this time.

This book is VERY HIGH in angst and it may grab you by the throat rather forcefully, but I also think that, despite its darkness, it all comes together beautifully in the end. I’ve been working hard on my endings this year and this is my favourite one to have written so far.

Ultimately, for me, this book is an unflinchingly raw but highly emotional ode to life.

This is how my editor said it:

“This is a stunner of a book, it’s superbly written, it has two very likeable characters and, most importantly, it grabs you right from that breath-stealing opening line and makes you hang in there desperate to know what Izzy does.”

A Breathless Place is also my 30th published Harper Bliss novel and I really wanted it to be something special.

I also realise it’s a good thing I’m so fiercely indie because not many publishers would take a chance on a book like this. I hope you will!

A Breathless Place is available on all retailers:
➞ Direct from me
➞ Amazon US
➞ Amazon UK
➞ Amazon CA
➞ Amazon AU
➞ Amazon DE
➞ Other Amazon Stores
➞ Apple Books
➞ Kobo
➞ Barnes & Noble
➞ Google Play

Enjoy! ❤️

P.S. Earlier this week I sent the book to Abby Craden for audio narration (quite possible one of the most exciting emails I’ve ever sent.) 😉

“This is my new favourite Harper Bliss book!” – Amazon Reviewer

Here’s the blurb:

Sometimes love shows up where you least expect it

An unexpectedly enjoyable evening with a friend’s daughter pushes Gloria into exploring a new side of herself.

Will she overcome her fear of what people think and allow herself a new chance at happiness?

And can Ash let go of the past and open herself up to love again?

Best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss brings you a sultry age-gap story about stepping out of your comfort zone and into the warm embrace of love.

Note: this book is absolutely perfect for fans of my other age-gap romance Seasons of Love!

I’m so happy with this book. It’s supposed to be a warm hug of escapism during these crazy times.

I wrote the first draft during the ‘height’ of lock-down (in Belgium) and it was such an incredible comfort to spend time with Ash and Gloria every day. I also think their chemistry is through the roof, but I also realise I’m a bad judge of that, so do judge for yourself (and feel free to let me know what you think!) 😊

★★★★★ “Page after page of delicious slow build-up of heat.”

★★★★★ “I stayed up half the night to read it.”

★★★★★ “A must-read for those who love a good age-gap romance.”

★★★★★ “Sexy and fiery!”
