Blossom & Bliss

Rate this book
The lust was undeniable and all-consuming. But that’s not what scared me... no, what scared me was the feelings blooming deep-down in my chest, especially when I knew he could never feel the same.

It all started when Mr. hot-suit rescued me from the side of the road. Turns out he’s my new boss while I fill in at a temp agency.

A simple glance in his direction sets my body on fire. So, when he asks me out to dinner, I don’t hesitate to say yes.

Now he’s ruining me for all other men… showing me things I never thought I would experience.

We were only supposed to be temporary... so why does it feel like my forever?

Let’s hope my heart can withstand the blow when he decides he’s done with me.

This book was such a fun, quick, & SPICY read! I’ve been in a little bit of a book slump lately & I feel like this book just snapped me right out of it. If you love:

- Billionaire Romance
- Workplace Romance
- Age Gap
- Lots of spice

then this book is definitely for you! I absolutely adored both of the main characters. Blossom was super sassy & knew exactly what she wanted while Dalton gave off major BDE vibes… I thought they fit together perfectly.

I also loved getting to revisit characters we have met in the author’s previous books! I can’t wait to read their next book about Quinn & Eli.

I loved this book so much! It's a quick, low-angst, steamy novella. I was so glad to finally get Blossom's story since you meet her in Reckless Abandon. This novella had a great backstory for both Dalton & Blossom, as well as emotion, all while flowing so seamlessly. It was the perfect palate cleanser to get me out of my reading slump.

Tropes:
💼Workplace/Boss/Office Romance
📈Age Gap
💵Billionaire MMC who is dominant & humble
💅🏼Strong, Sassy, & Curvy FMC
😍Insta-Lust/Love
🍆Kink Exploration/Club Activities

"Beautiful, I get the feeling no matter where you are, the view is good."

I highly recommend this book! Thank you for the ARC. This is my honest review.

Blossom and Bliss by LA Shaw

A short read jam packed with a whole lot of spice and steam! If you're looking for a quick read to get you out of a slump I recommend. While there are some rollercoaster emotions and some speed bumps along the way, it's low angst and just an overall sexy read. Also, age gap romance which is quickly becoming a favorite trope of mine! Super excited LA Shaw gave us Blossom’s story! Absolutely loved it! 😘

Sassy, Sensual and Sexy.…..with woman who knows what she wants.

A great little Novella. Blossom was definitely no wilting flower 😉
The premise was inviting. It was very quick to the chase and fast moving, but with a huge dose of romance and some angst sprinkled in between. Dalton was a dream boat…swoon.
The mention of Eli and Quinn just made me more excited for their book. I can’t wait!
This is everything you want from a sexy Novella.

❁ Boss/ Employee
❁ Billionaire

Blossom is on the way to start her new job when her car breaks down. She just happens to get lucky when a gorgeous man stops to help her. That gorgeous man turns out to be CEO of the company she now works for. Both of them decide to have some no strings attached fun.
While this book was short I was still able to connect with the characters and enjoy the plot. Yes there is a plot even though it was mostly very hot smut. I absolutely loved reading about Blossom exploring her k!nks. Dalton definitely made all her dreams become a reality.

My new favorite

I definitely think L.A. Shaw is my new favorite author. I’ve devoured all her books so far. Blossom and Bliss was a quick read and my favorite troupe, insta love! MMC had to come over some obstacles to finally give into love. Such a good book to get out of a book slump!

Another winner from L. A. Shaw. They just can’t miss. What a perfect combination of plot and spice. No beating around the bush here; we dive right in. This book came at the right time-it was just what I needed. Couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting. I loved Blossom and Big D’s (Dalton) story. And it was great seeing some old friends from Reckless Abandon. Really looking forward to seeing more of everyone in Reckless Impulse. If you’re looking for low drama, great characters, a sweet and spicy story, this novella is it.

“First off, I’m your boss’s boss, so if I don’t give a fuck, you shouldn’t either. Second, and more importantly, I’ve wanted you since the moment I saw you, but you just confirmed I have to have you, or I will literally go crazy.”

“Are you here to play games, Ms. Rivera? Because I happen to be a big fan of those. However, mine tend to take place in more of a private setting.”

“He may not be my forever, but this moment in time will be.”

Opening this book and seeing the playlist I automatically knew I’d love this book. Every song listed matched this book so well & I really appreciated that. If you have not read L.A. Shaw’s previous books I highly highly recommend doing that as these two know how to write some amazing stories with spice and plot! ❤️‍🔥

The book revolves around Blossom and Dalton. If you’ve read their previous books you know we got to see Blossom & Dalton a little bit before this. From the very first interaction between these two I knew I would be in for a ride of spice & let me tell you L.A. Shaw did not disappoint! I could not put this book down! The spice was definitely a 5/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ and it just gets better the more you read! If you’re into a small age-gap, praise talk, & exploring some kink this is definitely the right book for you! 😉 It’s very fast paced so we aren’t waiting long for things to get good. Although the spice is really good in the book it did not take away from the plot at all & I truly enjoyed reading their story!

I will have to end this saying I’m on the edge of my seat about Eli & Quinn (previous characters mentioned in this book & others) I can’t wait to read about them next & I just know their story will be an amazing one as well!

Rating: 5/5 stars
Spice: 3/5

It all started with a chance encounter from a mysterious hot guy in a suit who rescued Blossom on the side of the road. Right off the bat there’s instalust, but Blossom thinks she won’t see hot suit guy ever again. However, it turns out Dalton a.k.a mystery hot guy is her new boss. The attraction is still there so when he asks her out for dinner she says yes.

This novella is so good! It’s spicy and fast paced. Blossom and Dalton’s chemistry was on fire. It was steaming. Dalton, I love that man! He had quite a dirty mouth and was very obsessive over Blossom. His need for her and vice versa was so palpable. Blossom had so much sass. She had me laughing a few times. Plus the spice in this novella was hot! These ladies know how to write spice.

I also loved seeing Blossom’s relationship with her mother. The care Blossom has for her mother is like no other. The sacrifices she had to make weren’t easy. I liked how we got to learn more about Dalton’s past too. As a reader it made you understand him better regarding his life decisions and choices. I also enjoyed seeing Wes, Sloan, Quinn and Eli. It was great to see a glimpse into their lives. Highly recommend!

What to expect:
Age gap
No strings attached
Billionaire CEO Romance
Exclusive Club scenes

Thank you to the authors for an early copy in exchange for an honest review.

Sir, Yes Sir!

I absolutely LOVED this book. And I adore Blossom. She is packed with sass and easy to relate too. Dalton is swoon worthy. And I can’t get enough of this pair.

Let me first start with, this a a novella. It’s around 160 pages and a super quick read. That means that the story is going to slightly fast paced.

We met them both in Reckless Abandon as background characters. Blossom is now moving on fromher job with Sloan in hopes of finding something I’d her own. But I’m her first day heading in, her car breaks down and a sexy as sin stranger stops to help her. Stranger turns out to be her boss, well her boss’s boss. He’s the CEO. So fun turn of events.

The story progresses, and truthfully I couldn’t put it down. I would have loved for their to been more, only because I want more of these two. Overall, it’s written very well with just enough spice! The plot is there so you’re not just reading “corn.” But it’s enough to wet your knickers if that’s your jam.

Basically, take 2 hours-ish, and enjoy this 😁

The ‘Big D’ energy in this book is through the roof. Blossom and Dalton had some of the best overall chemistry from the very start of this lustful, sexy novella. L. A. Shaw this may only be your third book but you write like your a seasoned pro at this. These two characters are probably by far my favorite of this authors characters. Blossom is Sassy and Dalton possessive which makes for an intriguing combination, one you’ll want to get your hands on. This book gives you lots of spice which in turn will make you weak in the knees. 5 sparkling stars for ‘Blossom and Bliss’ 💋🤌🏻. A must read in my book!

First of all, I devoured this book in just a few hours, and I wish I hadn’t because now it’s over and even though I’m left so happy, I also feel so empty cause I wanted more and more. 😭😂 I should really learn to pace myself but who can when Dalton is involved lol. #sorrynotsorry 🥴

I already loved Blossom from RA with her boss babe attitude and Dalton 🤭 already had me on my knees obviously. I knew I was gonna love their series and L.A. Shaw did not disappoint! 💕

I don’t want to give any spoilers because it’s truly worth the read if you’ve read Reckless Abandon, and it also gives a glimpse of Reckless Impulse from the little scenarios. Let’s just say that there’s insta-love, found family and new friends, 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️, a “you don’t get to touch her unless you have my permission” moments, and did I mention that the spice is ✨immaculate✨? 🌚

“It’s time for you to leave now, E.”
“Be happy I let you see that much.”
Had me dying 🌝

I loved this book so much! 💞

ARC Review of Blossom & Bliss by L.A. Shaw
* * * * *
A super steamy read that is a must to add to your shelves and having you diving for a cold shower to boot!

Blossom never expected the hot man in the aviator sunglasses who helps her with her car to be her new boss, but that does not put a damper on cravings for him. Dalton is the same. She's a curvy beauty that he must have, and she is just as kinky and insatiable as he dreams her to be.
However, the romance does not come easy.
Dalton holds guilt back from his past and Blossom is wanting more than she fears he will give her. Are they on the same page?

A very cheeky and steamy read that took up my weekend and had me grinning. Giving your boss - or boss's boss such a nickname and attending such an event - I mean, it's probably not ethical but I wouldn't mind some of that action! Love Blossom's backstory as well as Dalton's, giving it a bit of a spin but not too heavy.

- Wrapping my hand around her neck, I say, “Oh Blossom… I’m going to have so much fun with you.”
- “Be prepared, Blossom. Tonight, I’m going to devour you.” “Yes, sir.”
- Dalton grabs my chin, forcing my eyes up to his. “Let’s fulfill some of those fantasies, Beautiful.”

Novellas are not my cup of tea. They are all smut, no story, no depth in characters. And I’m not fan of that. But this one… this one is something else. We got the amazing story, characters which are properly introduced to us, we learn something about their pasts, family and friends.

The story is about Blossom and Dalton who are attracted to each other from the first meeting. Blossom is amazing independent woman and takes care of her mother, and Dalton is CEO who has a few tricks up his sleeve 😉 I really enjoyed their story, especially exploring the kinks. 🤫

So whoever asked me to recommend them novellas and I didn't have an answer, now I have it - Blossom & Bliss. 💕

This novella is short,spicy and absolutely fantastic! It has quite a few of my favorite tropes in it as well- were talking
-age gap
-billionaire romance
-office romance

We meet sweet Blossom in L.A. Shaw’s latest release Reckless Abandon and she is such a great character that when I heard she was getting a novella I was all over it. Dalton, I mean, woooooahhhh this man be giving me big d energy. I loved everything about this alpha CEO man with that dirty mouth. I absolutely fell in love with this storyline, instant attraction and good old “let’s not catch feelings” and with the one scene that is playing repeat in my head that happened in Vegas…. (You know what they say about Vegas😜)

It’s just chefs kiss for this Wild Bloom Series and more character growth for LA Shaw’s group of amazing characters.

Now for all my people who have followed LA Shaw’s journey and characters…. Let’s talk about that epilogue😍

Blossom & Bliss by L.A. Shaw

Ratings:
⭐️: 4.5/5
🌶: 4/5

Quote: “You consume my every thought, and I’ve quickly become obsessed with every inch of you.”

Tropes: age gap, strangers to lovers, workplace, anti-commitment hero, insta-lust

——————————————————

What a hot novella! Blossom and Dalton meet when Blossom’s car breaks down and sparks immediately fly. Neither can get enough of each other and decide to just have some no strings attached fun. I loved Blossom’s self confidence and how she owned her spicy interests. Dalton was the dominating, dirty talking hero who easily matched Blossom’s sassy personality. Together these two had an abundance of chemistry, passion, love, and happiness. This novella provides a quick, spicy read!

⭐️ 5/5
🔥 4/5

Can we talk about how LA Shaw knows how to write some spice?

This follows Blossom, who we met in 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧, as she starts her new job with a bang when her cart breaks down on her first day headed to work. In comes Dalton, handsome stranger who pulls over to help and turns out to be her new boss.

Blossom and Dalton quickly fall into lust and let me tell you, this was hot. Spicy. had me sweating. I'd let Dalton do anything he wanted to me.

This was such a fun, spicy novella to get me through a book slump! And if you were a fan of 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 you'll love getting see crumbs of Sloane and Wes again! And of course, some bittersweet moments with Eli and Quinn.
This was the perfect balance of spice and plot meant for a Novella and I devoured it!

Blossom & Bliss

Arc review

This was a quick heated read that follows Blossom meeting ‘big D’ or Dalton🥵. This is a boss, billionaire Romance and a insta interaction.

If you’re after a quick spicy book that has a plot that tugs your heart slightly this is for you 🫶

Blossom is an absolute rocket of a character she is fiery and witty and really takes Dalton by surprise and cracks through his ‘no strings’ out look of life.

As I was such a fan of the reckless books I loved the snippet into those books in a brief moment and paths being crossed 😍 although a stand alone it was still a fab little tease.

I so very much enjoyed this book. I have found a new author. when you read this, you want more from the Author the main character Blossom is sassy and so funny. Its Blossom s first day at her new job but she has a problem. Her car that she calls. Helen a hot man comes to her rescue. that she nicknames Big D. his name is Dalton and she in for a shock as he her new boss. there is so much attraction between them, but Dalton does not do relationships. Will it be a happy ending? I can't wait to read more from this author.so recommend.

This novella is short, sweet, and spicy! 👩‍🍳💋

Blossom gives me such a confidence boost in wanting to be like her! She’s a strong, confident woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to show it!

Dalton 🥵🥵
I don’t even know the words that apply to him! A man who worked hard to get where he is. Always but his happiness behind him because he felt he didn’t deserve to be happy. This man doesn’t realize the hurt he causes himself.

The spice is *chefs kiss*
The confidence from Blossom radiates right into yourself.

This is my first Goodreads review. And there's no better book for that than this one.
HOLY COW!!! I normally don't venture into the novellas just because to me they're more based on spice without much of a story line. But this one was the perfect combination of both.
Oh big D with his alpha possessive vibes and Blossom with the confidence every girl should have. Perfect. THEY BROUGHT THE DANG HEAT.
I literally could not put it down, I finished in like under 2 hours. That's just how good it was.
Everybody needs this book in their lives.

Dalton and Blossom

Blossom and Dalton having a chance meeting on the freeway turns into a love story. Dalton turns out to be the CEO of the company Blossom is just starting at, but they are both drawn to each other.
I loved that Blossom isn't afraid to explore her interests in her possible kinks. Dalton helps to open her eyes to possibilities when he takes her to his club. I liked how they were able to maintain their relationship away from work and keep it separate.
This was a quick read and also a spicy read.

This is book three in the Wild Blooms Series and a new author to me. It is a hot age gap romance.

An insta lust story between Blossom and Dalton.
Dalton stops to help Blossom who has broken down on the side of road. They part ways only to bump into each other later in the day at Blossoms new job, where Dalton is CEO.

The story is spicy, slightly kinky and oh so steamy, where lust turns to love. An enjoyable read.

My goodness, this novella is hott, spicy, and a little dirty!

Blossom, we love her in Reckless Abandon and get to know her even better here. She is completely confident in her curves and has a kinky side she wants to explore

Big D (BDE), Bossy, Dirty talker, & CEO of a big company who doesn't do relationships, but ultimately can't resist all that is Blossom

Their lust turns into something more, and you can't help but want them to last

The spice is fantastic! I love that one scene after the ATV's. 😉LA Shaw knows how to write the SPICE!

The story itself is a page turner, will get you out of any book slump, and is also so sweet. I really enjoyed reading the relationship between Blossom and her mom

The glimpses into Wes and Sloan and the sneak peeks with Eli and Quinn so excited for what's to come😍

BLOSSOM & BLISS

STEAMY AF, DRAMA, INSTA-LUST!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️4/5🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️5/5

S3Xi on a shelf! WOW was this book steamy. Loved every minute of it. It was hot and heavy from the beginning. Absolutely loved that Blossom is a hard working woman who not only takes care of herself but also her sick mother all while trying to get the career she wants. Dalton is a self made CEO who has a dark past he is struggling with and can’t seem to be able to make peace with. They both seem to want to give it a try but are hesitant, Blossom doesn’t want to get hurt and Dalton thinks he doesn’t deserve it.

Read to find out if they can overcome the obstacles and become a real thing or if this will just be a hot and heavy fling. Absolutely recommend this book!
