Okay, I'm just going to say it. I think that BACK IN BLISS is my absolute favorite book of the Nights In Bliss series to date. I mean, how could I not adore Seth and Georgia, and, oh, my heckin' heck, Logan Green? I mean, I remember Seth and Logan from when they were fresh teenagers, getting into trouble and planning for their Bliss-like future, but, now, well, they've grown up and exceeded my expectations. And, Georgia? She is the perfect match for these two, feisty, fearless (well, mostly), and coming into her own like any woman fit for Bliss, Colorado.

The citizens of Bliss are an entertaining, heartwarming, quirky bunch, and I love all of them and their stories. After the intense events of this book, I'm interested to see what the future holds for Henry Flanders and his beloved Nell, and for all of the good folks of this small but mighty town. If these books aren't on your radar, well, they should be. Lexi never fails to create stories that are steamy, action-packed, and, most of all, full of love, and I am happy to recommend the entire series for fans of this genre. Another fantastic 4.5 stars, and one that has me anxiously awaiting the next chapter.

I loved this story as usual with this series. It was angsty and sexy and even made me laugh out loud. I can't get enough of these books. I am excited for the next.

For fans of this series, people were waiting for Logan Green to finally get his HEA. I was one of those people as Logan became a character that was near and dear to my heart. I fell in love with Bliss almost a decade ago and I love rereading each book as it's like revisiting an old friend.

Back from the beginning, Logan was the goofball, never wanted to grow up or take anything seriously, but also so super sweet you couldn't help but like the character. In a town full of menage pairings, BDSM, killings that equated to large body counts, a nudist camp, alien encounters, and other strange events I'm sure I'm forgetting, Logan was the eternal optimist among the strange and bizarre. Known for his famous line of "Please, don't tell my mom's" when Logan usually did something dumb or found himself in trouble, that particular quote always put a smile right on my face.

Everything changed when that innocent trouble turned to brutalization and Logan was traumatized from the events that occured when he discovered the world wasn't exactly nice and heroes don't always spring to life like in the comic books he used to read. I think I can say it broke every readers heart to see Logan change from the lanky kid to the hardened man, but it was the necessary transformation that lead us to the Dom he became in Back In Bliss.

As much as I missed his goofy smiles and comedy relief, his hardcore Dom was uber sexy. Logan finally came into his own and like a lot of Bliss stories he wasn't alone in finding romance.

Seth Stark is Logan's best friend. Every summer Seth returned to Bliss to spend the summer with his grandfather, but more importantly he spent it with Logan. At some point in their youth they realized they wanted to find a woman and share her together. It was a thing that just was, like knowing you wanted children or not. However, things progressed a little differently than Seth had planned and when they didn't attend college together or even spend the last few years of their lives together, Seth, being the planner that he was, began to move the chess pieces anyway and counted on Logan playing along. He wasn't quite prepared for the changes in Logan or even for hurricane Georgia.

Georgia Dawson is in love two men. The Prince in a suit - Seth and the Beast in khaki's - Logan. They both are different and both of them make her heart melt. The only problem, Seth wants forever and Logan only wants right now. These men were best friends, how could this ever work if she is only viewed as a play thing. If Seth has his way she'd be a china doll taken out and used on occasion, she's been there, done that, she wants more from him. She also wants Logan for more than just a few days, but he doesn't seem willing to give it. How can she bridge the gap between these two men who seem to need her? She'd give them anything if they only work together.

Georgia sets about to bring these two men together, Logan hopefully to heal his old wounds and Seth down to a level where he gets out of his own head once in awhile. She falls in love with the town, like we all have at one point or another. Lexi/Sophie does a great job through Georgia's eyes introducing us to Bliss locals, hangouts, and customs. While through Logan's tortured past memories we get glimpses of who he was and meet his friends/families and even new children living in Bliss as well.

Back In Bliss is a homecoming, a healing, and a sensual loving relationship between people who really care for one another. I'm so excited that Lexi is updating and bringing this world into her other ones.

Every time I read one of the Bliss books, I think that there's no way Lexi Blake can come up with a totally new story line and every time I'm proven wrong. Georgia, Seth, and Logan made for one steamy trio. There was plenty to keep you reading and I know I devoured this book in one sitting. Definitely think this book is worth reading and recommend it.

Most of this series can be read stand-alone. There is enough back story given that you can get through. It is nice to have the info from the previous stories but not necessary. Not so this one. In my opinion you should at least read Found in Bliss (#5) and Once Upon a Time in Bliss. Logan and Seth are secondary characters in several of the previous books but in order to really understand what Logan has gone through you need to have read Found in Bliss (#5) and to understand Seth and Henry’s relationship you need to have read Once Upon a Time in Bliss. But even if you don’t or haven’t this is one of the strongest of the series. I laughed, cried, moaned and sighed as Seth and Logan finally get an opportunity to get their girl.

Finally it's time for Logan's story!!

I was impatiently waiting for Logan's book as I've been making my way through the Bliss series and ever since book 5 (and all the books where Logan has popped up), I've needed to know that one of my favourite Bliss characters was going to get "his turn". With a whole heap of history in this book (Georgia is the sister of Ben & Chase Dawson from Siren Unleashed; and Seth is Logan's childhood best friend and a very important person to Henry Flanders as we discover in Once Upon a Time in Bliss), I really feel that you need to know and have read this series to really get the best out of it. I couldn't put this book down and I loved seeing these three amazing people get a chance for a HEA!! I don't want to spoil it, but I will say that this book is worth every minute!!
