NEW RELEASE: A Lesson in Love

by 2 Comments

A Lesson in LoveA Lesson in Love (The Village Romance Series – Book 3) is OUT NOW!

I’m super excited because A Lesson in Love combines two of my very favourite things: a teacher crush & an age-gap romance.

In the author’s note of A Lesson in Love, I’ve written: “I experienced the pure, true joy of writing again during the first draft of this book.”

This is definitely due to finding myself on familiar age gap territory, but also because one of the main characters is an ice-queen-ish professor of English literature. All my boxes were ticked, so to speak, and I had So Much Fun while writing.

And it wasn’t just the writing that was fun… collaborating with my lesfic friends Clare Lydon and T.B. Markinson was simply wonderful. (I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we did this again some time!)

Here’s the blurb:

Can The Posh Student Win The Uptight Professor?

Helen Swift is almost fifty and tired of her day job as a professor at Oxford University. She prefers to write cozy mysteries under a well-hidden pen name in her Cotswolds cottage. She’s also far too busy to even consider romance.

Posh girl, Victoria ‘Rory’ Carlisle, is over the moon when she snags Helen as her DPhil supervisor, and not only because of Professor Swift’s academic prowess. Rory takes an instant shine to Helen, who is far from charmed by her advances.

Can Rory make a dent in the wall that Helen has built around herself? And does Helen even have the time for such an inappropriate dalliance?

Best-selling lesbian fiction author Harper Bliss is back with one of her trademark age-gap romances! It’s part of The Village Romance series which features books by lesfic favourites T.B. Markinson (A Shot at Love), and Clare Lydon (A Taste of Love).

One English village, three charming romances. Read the lesfic trilogy that’s the talk of the summer today!

A Lesson in Love is available on Amazon (and it’s in Kindle Unlimited):
– Amazon US
– Amazon UK
– Amazon CA

What readers are saying about A Lesson in Love:

“Excellent ending to an excellent trilogy.”

“Ice queen, age-gap romance at its best.”

“OMG, this book was so good! I absolutely love an age gap from Harper and this one did not disappoint!”

Enjoy!

P.S. Did I mention that A Lesson in Love features one of the longest sex scenes I’ve written to date? 😉

NEW RELEASE: French Kissing: Season Five

by Leave a Comment

French Kissing: Season Five French Kissing: Season Five is now available on all retailers and in all formats!

Since I published my first book (way back ‘in the day’), six months is by far the longest I’ve gone without releasing a new title (Life in Bits, my co-write with TB Markinson was the last book I released in December 2018.)

To say I’m looking forward to French Kissing: Season Five finally coming out would, therefore, be a grave understatement! 😉

Some of you may have been waiting as long as I have, so I won’t keep you.

I will say that returning to my fictional, very lesbian version of Paris is always such a joy.

Season Five has been great fun to write. I can’t promise there will be a Season Six just yet (but I know myself so there probably will be… I can’t stay away from these ladies forever, can I?)

Here’s what Season 5 is all about (please note this is NOT a standalone book!):

Paris… City of lights, City of love… City of drama!

With a year remaining on Dominique’s first presidential term, the Laroche camp is gearing up for her re-election campaign. Dominique herself, however, doesn’t seem so keen on going through it all again.

Aurore and Solange’s relationship has been on and off so many times, nobody can keep count. The prospect of being on opposing sides of an election campaign is proving too difficult to overcome. Unless one of them can find it in her heart to make a sacrifice.

Claire is showing signs of a midlife crisis. Rather than test her marriage to Margot, her behaviour puts in danger Barbier & Cyr, and her friendship with Juliette and Steph.

Partnerships will be questioned, loyalties will shift and priorities will be reassessed as favourite characters, and old foes, return for a new season of Parisian drama and intrigue.

Warning: This title contains sensual language, ladies making love, copious wine consumption and the occasional bout of political backstabbing.

French Kissing: Season Five is available from all retailers and in all formats now:

NEW RELEASE: At the Water’s Edge – Audiobook

by 4 Comments

At the Water's EdgeI usually don’t make such a fanfare about one of my books coming out in audio, but this one feels special to me.

At the Water’s Edge is the first real full-length novel I wrote (in 2014) and it is deeply personal.

Additionally, for the first time, we didn’t sell the audio rights and have someone else produce the audio version, but we did it the ‘indie way’ and produced it ourselves. (Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean I narrated it myself in my wonky Belgian accent!) 😉 (Anne James did a brilliant job with the narration!)

Those are the two reasons why this audiobook release is so special to me. I usually don’t have the nerve to listen to audio versions of my own books, but I had no choice but to listen to this one as we had to proof-listen to it. This means having the book in front of me while listening to the audio, in order to flag any mistakes in the narration.

For a delicate little flower like myself, this is a pretty nerve-wracking task, or at least I thought it would be. It turned out to be only a tiny bit excruciating and quite thrilling the rest of the time. Because we were pressed for the time, my Mrs and I divided the book in half and I listened to the first half and she was responsible for the second half, which had all the naughty scenes, which also helped greatly! 😉

All of this to say that At the Water’s Edge is now available in audio. Here’s a reminder of the blurb and there’s a full list of where you can get it below.

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

When Ella returns to her hometown to recover from a trauma, she makes a connection with Kay, the lovely 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.”

“The main character is dealing with some real life issues in a good way. It shows love in multiple formats and life in its messy beauty.”

“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

Life in Bits

Life in Bits: A Lesbian Christmas Romance is OUT NOW!

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.

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

NEW RELEASE: More Than Words (Pink Bean 9)

by Leave a Comment

More Than Words (Pink Bean 9)More Than Words (Pink Bean 9) is OUT NOW!

When Pink Bean 8 came out, I assumed Pink Bean 9 would be the last book in the series.

I can now assure you that it’s not!

I’ve planned up to 12 books and, who knows, maybe the series will just keep on going forever? 😉

This book is all about Katherine, who we first met in Pink Bean 7.

But as always with Pink Bean books, it’s standalone and you don’t need to have read the other books to enjoy this one.

Here’s the blurb:

Building walls around your heart is easier than breaking them down

Katherine Jones has said goodbye to her job as a luxury lesbian escort to embark on a new adventure. She’s opening a new Pink Bean coffee shop with her best friend Rocco.

To renovate the space for their new venture they’ve hired Rocco’s aunt, Hera Walker. It’s Hera’s first job since the sudden death of her long-term partner and she’s finding it hard to reconnect with her old life. The fact that her first new client is a former call girl doesn’t help.

Can Hera overcome her prejudices and see Katherine for the person she truly is? And will Katherine be able to break down the wall Hera has built around herself?

Find out in this long-awaited new instalment of Harper Bliss’s thought-provoking Pink Bean series!

I dare say this book has all the usual Pink Bean ingredients: friendship, angst, coffee, processing + hotness (and a very entertaining gay best friend!)

Available from:
Amazon US
Amazon UK
Amazon CA
Amazon AUS
Amazon DE
Other Amazon Stores

NEW RELEASE: In the Arms of a Woman

by Leave a Comment

In the Arms of a WomanAfter the sweet romance outing I went on with my Mrs, I thought it was time to ramp the hotness All The Way Up again. And I don’t think I can go much higher on the hot-o-meter than in the stories in this collection. Or, to put it in the words of a member of my Launch Team: “Hold on to your panties, girls – this is pure knicker-ripping lust.” 😉

You can get In the Arms of a Woman here:
Direct from me
Amazon US
Amazon UK
Amazon CA
Amazon AUS
Amazon DE
Other Amazon Stores
Apple
Kobo

Here’s the blurb:
Best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss has collected all the short stories she has penned over the years. You can find all twenty-eight of them in this sizzling hot collection.

You will encounter women of all ages, from all over the world, and practicing a myriad of professions—ranging from police officers to rock band singers and from therapists to personal trainers.

Just one piece of advice: do not read in public!

You can see a full list of all the stories (with links to the full version of a few of them) here >>

Please note that all these stories have been previously published in various anthologies, on my website, or as single ebooks.

In the introduction, I’ve written the following:
“I started out in erotica so, do be warned, all of these stories are much more than just romantic. Some aren’t even romantic at all but, overall, even in these short tales, my undeniable romantic streak was already coming through.”

In other words: If you only know me through my latest books, you’re in for a bit of a shock… 😉 90% of these stories are pure erotica with only a hint of romance (do be warned!)

Enjoy!
