Stanton Bliss (Stanton Series)

This is actually my second time to read the Stanton series and it only got better. Josh and Tash are two of my all time favorite characters. Their love has no bounds physically or emotionally. They love each other unconditionally as well as their siblings and best friends. Their world is rocked over and over, but they continually fight to be together. I promise, you will be addicted to this series and this amazing author!

The 4 books 📕 in this series about Joshua and Natasha are exceptional. I love your shout out to the silent monster we battle daily, mental health. The plot, the suspense, the betrayal, and the LOVE are screaming from the pages of this story. I’ll eventually read all the books in this series.

T L Swann is an astonishingly wonderful writer. Whatever book I have downloaded to my kindle I have been riveted or enthralled by the story line. All of your characters are of substance! They are so relatable and authentic. I’m a deep thinker so I know your previous profession has had an influential impact on your writing style. Whatever you do, please DO NOT put your pen down.

Don't get me wrong, Joshua is totally naughty and a mind f*%k in a different way! He is so Alpha I get the shivers! However, in this story, things were tamped down, the anger and guilt though? THAT was on high alert. The things he and Nat were put through, especially Nat on the physical level, were unimaginable. I felt so bad for them and rooted so hard for them. How do you come back from such trauma? How do you hit reset and move on? Well its not done easily but these two have such a strong long lasting FIERCE love that they make it happen. They take their scars and celebrate them, they realize just how much they need each other, how much their love transcends the normal bounds and latch almost viciously to each other and their happiness. They grow even stronger through this hardship and you see their love move into a whole new realm. I loved this series, this book, as it brought more of the secondary characters story online and set us up for theirs (can't WAIT for Cameron's)! How they did get their HEA and how they truly fought for it, tooth and nail. I want a love like that! Yes please and thank you! To you T.L. Swan, thank you for writing one of my all time favorite books, for letting Joshua and Natasha be your debut novel. Had you not taken the leap, my book boyfriend would never be!

I have been waiting for this book since I finished the last page of Stanton Completely. I tried stalking, I tried messaging the author; I fully expected to have a restraining order taken out against me. If that would have gotten Stanton Bliss in my hands any sooner, it would have been worth the lawyer fees!

Joshua and Natasha put me through the wringer with the Stanton Trilogy. Ye gawds, I wanted to knock some sense into both of them. Especially Josh and his manwhoring ways back in the days of Stanton Adore. I still can't bring myself to read some of his shenanigans he enjoyed while trying to put Tash in his rear view mirror. And don't get me started on Natasha! Woman, you drove me to distraction. Always jumping to conclusions, always running away. Finally, finally loyal readers got the HEA we craved. But of course being the book sluts that we are, we wanted MORE!

I am going to spend each day of the rest of my life adoring the woman I love and being the person she makes me.

Stanton Bliss is our more. Our beloved couple is married but how are they coping with the horrible things that happened leading up to their nuptials? Joshua had his private life exposed for the entire world to see. He lost his freedom. He lost the love of his life. He damn near lost his mind.

I sit in the darkened room as I watch her, the weight sits heavily on my shoulders and my mind refuses to stop.

Natasha was forced to do things to escape that would make the most secure person cower with fear around every corner. Can she live with what she has done? Can she ever feel secure again?

"You don't want to go back there?" I shake my head quickly. "It was terrible, wasn't it?" I nod sharply. "It's better not to think about it, isn't it?"

What about Ben and Bridgett? Will they work things out? How about Dr Romeo, Cameron Stanton himself? Will there ever be one woman who can satisfy his desires? Adrian and Nicholas are drifting along but not together. Why? Some of these questions are answered. Some doors are left opened because we are getting more stories about these characters that we have come to know like our family members. (a dysfunctional family but still a cherished one!)

Sometimes epilogues have tons of filler. Nope, not this one. Is there sex? Come on, Josh and Natasha burn up the sheets every chance they get. Not to mention on every surface and in one scene take coming to a bar to a whole new level! So check that requirement off your list.

She kisses me again and arches off the bed. "Josh, I need you to fill me." I inhale deeply as I try to control myself. Bloody hell, how do men do this gentle thing?

Is there drama? Yes, but thank gods it's not stomach plummeting like the drama in the series. Does Natasha still drive Josh to distraction? You bet and in one scene he just about loses it. Joshua Stanton is beat up by everything that has happened to him, but he is slowly recovering. It's no secret the man has a fierce temper. Natasha presses all his buttons and that lion roars! But this is Natasha we are talking about-she gives as good as she gets!

"So help me God, if he's so much looked at one F*#%ing stripper, I am going to kill him with my bare hands."

But there's a ton of humor in this story too. These characters love life, they love to laugh at themselves and each other. That's the glue that keeps them together. They bicker and argue but at the end of the day they would lay their lives down for each other. Stanton land is not just about Joshua and Natasha. It's a whole cast of characters that provide color for our canvass and fill our world with intrigue and steam and laughter. Stanton Bliss is the perfect conclusion for Joshua and Natasha fans. This isn't the last we will see of them, because I'm sure they will be woven into the stories of the other characters. As for me, I'll take them anyway I can get them!

Never in a million years would I have thought, all those years ago when I was filling her void with other women, that this precise moment was in my future...that this higher level of being could ever be achieved.

Ok, first of all I have to say that I have read all books in this series only because I already started and stupid me had to keep reading till the end. There were parts in this story that I liked but many I disliked. The story line was good, but the writing was poor and repetitive. The main characters were very immature and childish even though they did get better at the end, but still... they mostly didn't act their age.

I hated that Josh and Tash fought and he immediately went to a strip club, what the heck is that? And she didn't even mention it to him.This neck cracking business he had going on every time he was aroused and there was a lot of sex ...well, I did not even want to picture that!! Also, all the characters were constantly yelling and screaming at each other, it's like the author had no other words to express how they said things.

The problem I always see with series is that the authors have to fill in pages by writing too many sex scenes and usually cheating is involved. The story was OK but it could have been a two series book perfectly.
