“I got a text from Dan warning me that you might be a little drunk.”
“I’m a lot drunk, but that’s not the point. I’m not sure I can be with you anymore.”
He freezes mid step, and turns to face me at the same time as swinging my body around to meet his, chest to chest. “Say that again. I think you lost me.”
Because I’m drunk and although— in my mind — I’m telling myself that I deserve a lifetime of orgasms and I need to break up with him, I wind my arms around his neck and pull myself hard against him. His hands drop to my hips and hold me hostage as his eyes bore down into mine, obviously waiting for me to explain. “See, we got talking and Mac said she had to fake an orgasm with you, and I can’t live without orgasms. I like having orgasms. They’re fun and good for me, and they make me a very happy girl, so I need to have orgasms and if you’re just giving me your A game to lure me in and then you’re going to switch to your C or D game soon, which would suck—although Kate said the C game can be fun if you do it right . . . anyway, I need you to promise me a life full of lots and lots of orgasms or else I can’t go out with you anymore.”
Then I’m stopped by his lips hitting mine, his tongue delving into my mouth when it opens on a gasp of shock. He takes his time, he does the job right, and when he pulls back and nuzzles my neck, I’ve sagged against him and my hands are gripping into the back of his head as if my whole life depends on it.
“Are you going to start back up again, or do I need to put something in your mouth to stop you from spouting this shit?”
“It’s not shit. I need org—” He cups my jaw and kisses me long and deep, and with lots of effort on his part, and mine once I get past the shock of him shutting me up with his mouth for the second time in as many minutes.

“Now that we’ve established
that you’re not breaking up with me, or going anywhere else other than my bed right now, can I take you inside so I can show you every
trick I have in the book? And I’m gonna keep going until you get it through that drunken head of yours that you’re never going to have to
fake an orgasm with me, now or ever."

ARC received from Give Me Books for an honest review
The Bliss crew is back and now we get to read the Walking Dildo's story. Will he get his own happily ever after like what his friends seem to be enjoying with their own loves. Who will the lucky lady be? Can she handle all that is the legendary Noah Taylor, aka The Walking Dildo? Will Noah be tamed and settle down finally?
B.J. Harvey's Bliss series is one of those books that pack a good amount of humor, sexiness, and drama that are all blended well together and each characters have their own story to tell. Perhaps the most intriguing was Noah Taylor's, especially because we've met him since the first book and has been getting glimpses of personality in the other books. The foreplay was longer, so to speak.
But what do they say about patience and rewards?
Noah Taylor's book did not disappoint! It was fun reading him finally find someone who matches his personality and challenges him. It figures that the one girl who Noah wants as more than just a casual hookup, will be someone that is off-limits to him. And not just that, but she's also strong, witty, and does not put up with his flirting so easily. I enjoyed reading Noah actually work for someone to at least go on a date with him. Who also expected him to have a such a vulnerable side to his emotions? I sure didn't. He has a gentle heart and despite his playboy reputation, his emotions are genuine and his feelings go way deeper than his physical needs. I might have fell in love with him.
Reading Noah and his HEA is the perfect read for when you want something that will make you swoon, smile, and want to go get a cold shower afterwards.
Stars: 4 stars
Recommended to: Fans of not just the series but of the characters, too! Sweet, romantic, and sexy.
Series: Yes. Interconnected characters.
POV: First person. Dual POV.
