Playboy Ciaran Lanigan was the party. Executive Bliss Heywood was the library. When they meet, sparks fly and so begins an uncontrollable attraction that neither is strong enough to escape, regardless that it’s fraught with lies, secrets and family complexities.
But ‘party boy’ Ciaran isn’t everything he appears. Lurking beneath the surface of his charming grin is a man haunted by fears. Are … fears. Are they real or imagined? As he slowly reveals his past, Bliss becomes less and less sure if the man she’s involved with is unstable or truly in danger. Will she learn the truth in time to save him?
Set in the fictional town of Peregrine, Idaho, Blue Moon, the second book in the Blue Mountain Collection features the youngest Lanigan brother, Ciaran. It is both a love story and mystery, with Tess Thompson’s quirky and complex but lovable characters.

Tess Thompson has a way of writing that pulls me in every time. I enjoyed this book so much. It has it all and I do mean all. Love, hate, hurt, tears, mystery, thriller, pain and more love than you’ll ever think possible.
It’s the second book in the Blue Mountain series. About Bliss who is Blythe’s younger sister. You met Blythe in the first book, Blue Midnight. She and Kevan’s love story. Now you get Bliss and Ciaran’s story. And what a story it is. You will fall in love with this family, all of them. Bliss is a very kind hearted woman despite how she thinks of herself. Ciaran cares more than he realizes too.
It’s such a good book that you won’t be able to put it down. From the first page to the last you will be hooked. I have to admit I could have finished this on a day sooner but the last 10% I wanted to savor for sure. It was so intense and lots of questions answered. Truths came out and brothers will be ok again. It’s a definite page turner.
I think I liked this one a tiny bit better than the first book. But it’s better if you read then in order. I found out there will be a couple more in this series and I can’t wait. Any book by Tess Thompson is so well worth the read. She can weave a story like no one else.
Thank you for writing this Ms Thompson. It’s a big unlimited star but I can only give it 5.
Omg how tess can figure out these events is beyond me. I love how 1 woman who is lost can just help others and change her life out of generosity and love. Also love how 1 woman can change a playboy and his family to find forgiveness and love
Wow! So good!
This is book 2 in the Blue Mountain Series.
It was so nice meeting up with the characters in Book 1. I LOVED that book 2 added so many new characters that filled the pages with so much fun and emotion. These characters are filled with personality!!!
I am a huge fan of Tess Thompson’s writing and this series is no exception!!! I love a good mystery. Tess Thompson definitely delivers!!
I am unbelievably excited for book 3! I love these people and this town!
Book 2 of Tess Thompson’s Blue Mountain Book series. Still held my attention COMPLETELY. Here’s hoping she adds to the series VERY SOON!
I have found a new favorite author. She has a beautiful style which paints a picture which is delightful to read.
Bliss Heywood is fiercely independent; she has a successful career and has not wanted for much. That all changed the day she slipped and fell on the ice after being fired from her job. Lying in the hospital after suffering a concussion got her thinking about her life and what was missing….friends and making a difference! Bliss made a pact with herself to spend time doing just that.
This new pact started as soon as she was discharged from the hospital. She ventured on a road trip to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with her sister and her soon-to-be husband in Peregrine, ID. Getting there proved to be a bit of a logistical challenge since she had strict doctors orders to not drive nor fly. Hiring her driver to take her was solidified, but when she also invited a homeless man, Sam, and his dog, Sweetheart, it proved a bit more interesting.
The time spent in Idaho was exactly what the doctor ordered, for all of the travelers. The friendships strengthened. All was falling into place. It also didn’t hurt to have her future brother-in-law’s brother, Ciaran, showing her around and helping her to have fun. The relationship blossoms and fills a void Bliss never knew she had.
Tess Thompson’s Blue Moon, the second book in the Blue Mountain series, continues the stories of the Heywood and Lanigan families. This book tells the story of Bliss Heywood, a workaholic who has no personal relationships except for the ones she has with her sister Blythe and Blythe’s daughters. After being fired from her high-powered job, Bliss learns to live her life by taking chances finding friendship and love along the way.
Well, I must say the second book in the Blue Mountain series, Blue Moon was just as good as the first. I had so much fun catching up with old characters, as well as meeting new ones. Bliss comes to Blue Mountain to surprise her sister Blythe. But she is the one who gets the surprise in meeting her future brother-in-law Ciaran. Sparks fly from the start as these two come together after lonely lives. Also meeting new characters, Sam and Sweetheart, Henry and Miss Pennington. And delighted to see our local psychic. Great book.
This is the second book in Tess Thompson’s Blue Mountain series and my second time reading one of Tess’s books. I was delighted to be welcomed back into the Lanigan family and continue to uncover their diverse and complex personalities.
Blue Moon centers around Bliss Heywood who is the younger sister of Blythe Heywood who met Kevan Lanigan after a painful divorce and found love again in the foothills of Idaho’s Blue Mountain.
Bliss is a relentless workaholic who has never made time for any meaningful relationships outside of her sister and her two nieces who she manages to carve out time with when she can, despite her non-stop corporate schedule.
When Bliss finds her life turned upside down, literally; she is fired from her job and injures her head in a bad fall in the sidewalk outside her office, Bliss finds herself turning to her sister and Kevan in Idaho to get away to reassess her life and seek some solace.
Enter Ciaran, the youngest Lanigan brother, who is a free spirit, too good-looking for his own good, playboy. He seems destined to a life of casual, noncommittal relationships.
What happens when Bliss and Ciaran meet changes everything these two ever thought they believed about their capacity to love and be loved. Along the way there is much to discover and uncover in each other’s pasts.
They help each other unravel long held misconceptions and mysteries.
If you are looking for heartfelt romance and family drama, don’t wait another minute. Read Tess Thompson’s Blue Mountain series. It is gorgeously written.
Blue Moon, the second installment in the Blue Mountain series, primarily focuses on Blythe’s sister, Bliss, giving the back story on what brought Bliss to Peregrine, Idaho (she was fired from her job and slips on ice and takes a nasty bump to the head all in the same day).
I’m really enjoying this series and I love the relationship between Bliss and Cieran, while also still getting to follow Blythe and Kevan’s story.
I recommend this series and this author for fans of sweet romances.
Book 2 in this series was even more addictive than I thought possible! Bliss has closed herself off from getting close to anyone but her sister. Coming to visit her at Blue mountain and enjoy her sisters new found life she unexpectedly finds everything that she was not looking for. But will she loose it just as soon as she is ready to open her heart? You must read to find out! I can’t wait to read what’s next! Love this series!
The second book in the Blue Mountain series focuses on Bliss Heywood. After being fired from her job, and a slip on the ice causes a concussion, Bliss wakes in the hospital determined to do something meaningful in her life.
She is invited to Blue Mountain by future brother in law Kevan to give her blessing to his proposal. She meets brother Ciaran and is immediately attracted to his rugged good looks and his attitude of no strings or attachments
Meanwhile little subplots are cleverly ingrained in the plot such as a makeover for Moonstone, befriending homeless man Sam and his three legged dog Sweetheart, and Bliss’s attempt to break through the stiff character of her driver
Ciaran talks Bliss into secretly spending a Blue Moon Month with him…two full moons in a month.
An old love interest and dangerous dark secrets are in store.
Can’t wait to read the next book in the series
Thank you to the author for a complimentary copy. These
Words are my honest opinions and review.
I really enjoyed Blue Moon. Ciaran is definitely a dreamy book boyfriend! Bliss is a strong force and I really enjoyed being in her head in this story. Blue Moon had me laughing and excited throughout. I really liked experiencing both characters learning to be vulnerable with each other and learning to open up.
What do you do when the life you created falls apart? Bliss had a high profile job, plenty of money and finds herself shutdown suddenly out of work. She finds herself lost, without friends, wondering about where she finds herself and realizes it’s time to make some changes. A night of reflection leaves her struggling until . . . and that’s just the start. Life is what we make it, yeah and it’s time to make it more. Taking chances, going out on a limb, well that worked for her in business maybe it’s time to try it in her personal life. Them Blue Mountains must be something special because these brothers are surely doing something right that the sisters fall right into their hands. As with Blythe, Bliss finds herself in the middle of a mystery and a jealous friend. This author once again gives us a brother and a mystery, with Bliss’s new matchmaking skills this is a fun and thrilling read. I do so love the changes, the fun and the mountains this author has laid out before us in this awesome read.
Blue Moon is the second book in the Blue Mountain series. What a wonderful romance between Ciaran and Bliss. The best part is the mystery twist of who is trying to harm Ciaran. You won’t be disappointed! The characters are very easy to relate to and you will fall in love with each and every one of them. GREAT job Tess Thompson!
I enjoyed this second book of Blue Mountain series as much as the first one. Great read! Tess Thompson has a her own way to write an incredible story in such a beautiful manner you got captured even when you could guess what may happen but not all anyway. Loved Bliss and Cairan’s story let alone other characters involved in a unusual and funny way. All kinds of emotions from tears to laughing out loud.
I recommend this book and first one too. Such a good books!
Ciaran a known playboy and Bliss a work-a-holic get a chance at love in the 2nd book of the Blue Mountain series. I love how these books include several stories of love and mystery with fantastic, lovable and relatable characters. It makes you want to live in Blue Mountain and be a part of their circle. I highly recommend this series. This book will pull at your heart strings.
I love this series! Just the right read for a rainy day or a late night!
Tess Thompson is a wonderful story teller. Her characters are believeable and well developed. I was pulled in almost immediately. This story has love, hate, jealousy, passion, mystery and more. I could have done away with the few sex scences. Blue Moon was a page turner.
I received an ARC for my honest review.
+4. Unpredictable romantic, original
Good blood and story. Based too much on sex.
