Told from three omniscient third person perspectives (Elisa, Van, Hale) UNEXPECTED BLISS follows the building romance and relationship between Elisa, Van and Hale. Having spent the better part of two years recovering from cancer and breast reconstruction, Elisa was on the hunt for the father she never knew, and the hunt was taking her to the small but peculiar town of Bliss, Colorado where she will meet her future in the guise of Van Dean and Hale Galloway. From the outset, Elisa is met with disquiet and uneasiness as she hunts for the man she believes is her father but Elisa never expected to find herself in a three way relationship with our story line heroes. Bliss, Colorado is a sanctuary, of sorts, for people involved in polyamorous relationships, and Elisa suspected Van and Hale just might be her future but all was not well when Elisa and Hale are targeted from an unknown source, someone who is threatening the lives of our story line trio. With her military experience, Elisa is offered a position with the local Sheriff’s office which affords Elisa the right to investigate what was going down. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Elisa, Hale and Van, and the potential fall-out as Hale struggles with the demons from his past, and Van believes his time in Bliss comes with an expiry date.
Sylvan ‘Van’ Dean is the family screw-up, and the last time his brother Jake had to rescue Van from the local jail, Van vowed to make good, finishing school, whereupon he would work with the brother to whom he owed his life but Van was falling hard to our story line heroine, and decided it would be better to walk away before he fell in love. Hale Galloway never had much of a childhood, having been shuffled between foster homes most of his life but Hale knew Elisa was their future, a future that could have ended before it began. Elisa Leal lost her mother but had never met her father until her sister Serena discovered a note in her mother’s possession. Hoping to meet the man she never knew, Elisa would come face to face with a man whose belief systems are out of this world, a man who was once a high-ranking member of the CIA.
The relationship between Elisa, Van and Hale begins when each of the men separately asks Elisa to dinner, never knowing the other was standing in the way. Van was quick to back away when he discovered his best friend was falling for our story line heroine, not realizing that Elisa was hoping for a three-way affair. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.
There is a large ensemble cast of fun and energetic secondary and supporting characters many of whom we have met in the previous story lines. Several characters cross-over from some of the author’s interconnected series including Van’s brother Jake, his lovers Adam and Sabrina, as well as the return of Luthor Melvin Hughes and his wife Cassidy.
UNEXPECTED BLISS is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love; of obsession and greed, acceptance and moving forward. The premise is intriguing and suspenseful; the characters are fun and flirty, captivating and dynamic; the romance is provocative and seductive.
