Virginity.Bliss Edwards is about to graduate from college and still has hers. Sick of being the only virgin among her friends, she decides the best way to deal with the problem is to lose it as quickly and simply as possible-- a one-night stand. But her plan turns out to be anything but simple when she freaks out and leaves a gorgeous guy alone and naked in her bed with an excuse that no one with half-a-brain would ever believe. And as if that weren't embarrassing enough, when she arrives for her first class of her last college semester, she recognizes her new theatre professor. She'd left him naked in her bed about 8 hours earlier.

My thoughts...
When I read the first few paragraphs they so turned me off. I don't enjoy it when an author likes to play with romance. I take romance really seriously and what I hate most about stupid love are One-Night-Stands. Reading Losing it did change my opinion about ONS, but only a little bit. The author was not able to completely fool me with this pitiful love. The romance was weak and unoriginal. The characters weren't very helpful during this play. If I could describe this one book I'd say it was disgustingly beautiful. Are you confuse? Yes, I thought so.
I don't get why someone would hate being a virgin. Man, that's a dirty word. Bliss Edwards is the only virgin among her friends. The weird thing is why is she so ashamed? Bliss decides that she wants this "Serious" problem dealt with. I'm not a character in the book so I can't stop her stupidity. Her plan was so stupid, but devious; still stupid. She picks a gorgeous British boy who doesn't know what he got involved into. She freaks out and ditches that hot naked stranger on her bed. The big problem or plot here is that her theatre professor was the man she left on her bed naked 8 hours ago.
After a lot of licking and kissing on certain areas. Gross. Still, I could find myself falling in love captivated by the story. I very much enjoyed the British boy. I loved the way the author described him and how enamored Bliss Edwards was. The author had me fooled in the middle of the story, but as I read those blind folds were let loose. As much as I hated disliked 45 percent of the book. Cora Carmack made it pretty clear instalove does happen in cliche stories, she made it look possible. Reality check; it happens all the time. Young love is so disgusting, but beautiful. Cora wanted us to read how love comes in with an unexpected surprise. We can't deny fate. Wish I could though...
Whatever Cora has planned for the next book I'm sure I'll love it more that the first. Correction. It'll be worth my time. This book doesn't deserve a low score, but it doesn't deserve a high one either. But I'm gonna have to stick with a 4. Cora deserves a 4 since she was able to fool me with instalove. I couldn't feel butterflies and I saw through the cliches, but found myself reading on. I didn't love the book, but Cora Carmack wrote a story that was disgustingly beautiful enough to let me finish the book in a day. No matter how many parts of this story that was so wrong, still some words were true.
When I read this book, I loved it. But now after reading your POV, I quite agree with you about how a big deal was made out of the virginity. Oh dear lord! The British boy Garrick was amazing, WITH BLUE EYES! Oh, I love your line "young love is disgusting, but beautiful." I can't wait to read the next book, Faking It, which is the story of Cade. He was such a sweetheart and I'm dying for his HEA! Fabulous review!

This sounds really good. It's not my typical genre, but I just might have to read it anyway!
