Holiday Bliss is book 2 in the Bliss series– It comprises three romantic novellas by three different authors–set in different era’s, in one home on the water called, Bliss.



Tending Her Heart by Kathleen Shoop

Julie Peters’ plans to modernize Waterside Hospital’s labor and delivery protocols are thwarted by old school doctors and brown-nosing colleagues. But a handsome doctor who understands her point-of-view has a fine bedside manner and a way of Tending Her Heart that has forever-after attached to it. Can a Thanksgiving stay in the regal home called Bliss give her the space she needs to right her future and fall in love?



The Christmas Miracle by Marcy Waldenville

Brenan Brown has a terrible secret. One his beautiful wife doesn’t know about. One that could destroy his happiness and his family. One he’d thought he buried along with his former identity in a grave in Ireland. But shady characters–terrorists really–from his past come to the stately mansion with blackmail and kidnapping on their minds. And with his family’s after at risk, his future in peril, all Brenan can hope for is The Christmas Miracle.



Holiday Wish by JD Wylde

Vaughn Jennings has one rule he refuses to break. Not even for Chelsea Chathford, the curvaceous master carpenter he employs. With just reason. But with every day that goes by, it gets harder and harder to follow his rule. Can he follow his heart? Or forever wish he had? Because Christmas comes but once a year. And with it, the only chance to have his Holiday Wish come true.


“Each story is vivid in historical and modern details and will certainly have you wanting to visit Bliss yourself. The characters come to life, making you fall in love with each and every couple, rooting for them to make it. I highly recommend this wonderful novel by five talented authors.”

– Kristine McCaffrey – Amazon Reader Review on Bliss Series Book 1


“Loved the book! It’s my first anthology and I couldn’t wait to get to the next story for the continuation. Can’t wait to read these authors’ next books.”

– review from Amazon on Bliss Series Book 1

Holiday Bliss is the second book in the Bliss series. It can be read as a stand alone, but I read the first book in the series. It provided some history, but was not necessary for Holiday Bliss.

I loved all three novellas. They were great stories with just enough romance to make you smile and I felt that each story was linked in someway or another whether it be by relation or to Bliss.

It is a great book to sit down and unwind during the chaos of the holiday season and would make a great gift for the reader in your life.

All three authors wrote great novellas and I look forward to finding more from each author.

If you are looking for fun reads to unwind, I recommend the novellas that Holiday Bliss holds for your reading enjoyment.
