I had Losing
It for a long while before I finally got around to reading it. The premise
sounded interesting and who doesn’t love a little hot for teacher action?
Bliss is one of
the only girls she knows at college to still hold her v-card. In an act of
frustration and rebelliousness, she decides to go for it and lose her virginity
to a one night stand. Things are going according to plan but just when things
get hot and heavy, she can’t go through with it. In an embarrassingly awkward
moment, Bliss detangles herself from the sexy guy she was in bed with and runs
out. As if things couldn’t get worse, she comes face to face with that tall
dark and handsome stranger that very Monday... he’s one of her new professors.
I’m not sure
what it was about Losing It that didn’t hit it out of the park for me.
In reading all of these New Adult books, I think I’ve become a fan of reading
wildly passionate romances. Maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but I do
like when a little “can’t live without you” is involved.
The tone was
just a little... dull, i guess you could say. I never felt that excitement for
Bliss and Garrick’s romance like I do in other love stories. I wasn’t a huge
fan of Bliss. She was little whiney for my taste, but I did really fall for
Garrick. Who doesn’t love a sexy professor?
The story
didn’t get my heart beating faster and I felt more like I was watching a poorly
executed chick-flick (a la Leap Year... anyone?) that was more boring than
romantic. I know a lot of people love this one so maybe I just wasn’t in the
right move. Either way, Losing It wasn’t for me.
5 out of 10
Happy Reading
:)
