  Bliss, inc September 7, 2008 I really enjoy this book. I like that the author wrote about a young man and a older woman. I like that they show that racism is still alive. And how classy the issue was handle. I am looking forward to reading another book from this author.
  I wanted to like this book but..... September 6, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was very disappointed with Bliss Inc. The story had so much potential that was just wasted. I like the ideal that the herione Paige was beautiful and successful black woman that happened to be a plus size. However, I felt like I was reading a story that could have been and should have been summed up in a hundred pages but was scretched over to cover 400 plus pages. And I really didn't want to read about every single painful detail of planning a wedding. The characters had lots and lots of pointless conversation usually about how "beautiful and brilliant Paige is because she solved yet another manufactured incident that highligts just how "beautiful and brilliant" Paige is. All the characters are very one demensional. The love scenes are very boring. The author uses phrases like she shared her secert place with him and then he shared his secret place with her. A love scene doesn't have to be explicit but I would like to read some kind of emotion (tenderness and/ or passion) between the h/h.
  What About Love? August 12, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
An anonymous one-night stand is how Paige Baldwin and Matthew Smythe initially met, but another chance encounter a few days later starts them on the path to love. In the midst of planning a high-society wedding, Paige discovers that the co-star in her secret indescretion is none other than the groom's brother. Once they come face-to-face again, their tenuous romance begins, despite obvious disapproval from the people around them. Together, Paige and Matthew stand strong against those who don't like to see black and white meet in the middle.
In BLISS, INC., Chamein Canton gives readers a glimpse into the ins and outs of wedding planning. Bliss, Inc. owner and miracle worker, Paige, gracefully handles one catastrophe after another, and still manages to keep her cool. This book is aptly named, in that I felt I spent a little too much time with Paige and her clients, as well as with several secondary characters, and not enough time with Paige and Matthew, as a couple. As a result, I wasn't as engaged as I would've liked to be. Still, the characters were likeable and I appreciated Canton's focus on voluptuous women as sexy, vibrant and desirable human beings.

  full Figure August 11, 2008 Wonderful, I enyoed this book so much it was well written, it is about time that we see more books with full figure womwn and younger men.
  Thoroughly disappointing August 7, 2008 Although the title of the book is the name of her wedding business, this book has one focus: Bliss, Inc. The characters are secondary, the story was lackluster, and it was a less than blissful ending. There are two good points about this book: 1. I like the idea of a full figured character 2. It sheds light on interracial relationships.
Other than that, this was a long, boring read.
