Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader

Match” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to

present Florence A. Bliss!

 

Writes:

Seductive historical romance that is sexy, bold, and can go all night.

 

About:

40-something female author with two kids, one dog, and a fancy Italian husband, seeking equally overworked, stressed, and ambitious reader. Looking for a woman (or man, hey there are sword fighting scenes) who needs an escape into a sensual fictional world. I write powerful women who are still vulnerable and alpha heroes who like to cause trouble. My debut novel TAKEN BY HIS SWORD is a steamy adventure full of grit, wit, and getting down by the fireplace.

 

What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:

  • Someone who loves a compelling narrative but wants spicy bits that ring the bell.
  • You want the HEA, but you want the path there to be twisty and uncertain.
  • You love the added social constraints of historicals, which make the dirty parts even more dirty.
  • You are an avid romance reader -OR-
  • You are a reader, sneaking in a sexy book.
  • A fan of enemies to lovers, emotional scars, and a few physical scars as well! (hey there are sword fighting scenes)
  • Must love witty banter. This is non-negotiable. Be prepared to LOL.

 

What to expect if we are compatible:

  • I will never ask for nudes. I may, however, hit you up at 2 am for a review.
  • There will be feels to deal with.
  • D pics are negotiable, but D stands for Dog.
  • I will fill all your plot holes.
  • More books! Book 2 of the series is well underway!

TAKEN BY HIS SWORD by Florence A. Bliss

Taken by his Sword

He took her innocence…She took his honor. But when danger unhinges their world, someone will have to fall on their sword.

The lust. The betrayal. The love. Sometimes the hardest battle…is seducing your enemy.

Alexandra wants one thing: to train with her sword, never mind the outraged public. But when the achingly handsome Monsieur Philippe kisses her, she finds herself willing to give up her heart and even her blade to be with him. That is, until she learns Philippe took another woman to bed after giving Alexandra her first kiss. Shattered and humiliated, Alexandra is done with etiquette. She’s done with skirts and ruffles. And men. Now, five years later, she’s a mercenary, known for her quick wits, expert blade, and dedication to protecting the people she guides through the uncharted forests of Provence. And if, by chance, she ever sees Philippe again, she’ll have no problem knocking that seductive smile right off his goddamned face.

Philippe never forgot the tender kiss he and Alexandra shared, and he never forgave himself for acting so badly. Years later, when he finds himself tracking a mysterious band of foes, the mercenary hired to lead him is none other than the enticing girl he unwittingly destroyed. But Alexandra is a woman now, a breathtaking and dangerous woman. Though he must balance his mounting desire for her with his duty to tame the venomous nest of criminals, Philippe soon realizes that winning Alexandra’s affection will mean he must strip his pride, lay his title on the line, and fight harder than ever before. And if dodging a few of her punches means he can maybe get another taste of her, then this adventure might be more explosive than he ever expected.

About Florence A. Bliss

Florence A. Bliss

Florence A. Bliss is an author from Las Vegas, NV who has a keen eye for writing love stories full of drama, heartache, humor, and enough seduction to light the pages on fire. With an MFA in creative writing from UNLV, Florence loves to write across genres but has found her home in romance. She lives with her fancy Italian husband and two children. Together they love to travel, explore the ghost towns around Las Vegas, roadtrip up and down the Pacific coast, and of course drink coffee out of tiny cups (milk for the kids).  Florence is an avid people watcher and strives to understand why people do what they do, and she never tires of imagining the stories of what couples have had to overcome in order to come together.
