This is a prime example of me judging a book by it's cover. But can you blame me?
WOW...I need this book asap! This cover...it's something else! Seriously HOT!
When I look at the cover, I see:
Intensity
Passion
Lust
Deliciously Sinful
Heat
Forbidden Romance
Then I read the blurb, and was like, OH HELL YES! I can't wait to read this book! So I didn't judge too much from the cover...
....but I got none of that.
There is no need to describe the story, the blurb tak...more

Stop! Cats! Stop...
Losing it had me pretty much losing my mind through fits of giggles--courtesy of Bliss and her quirky inner dialogue! I must admit that I headed into this book with some reservation due to the mixed reviews it had initially been receiving. However, I was very pleasantly surprised to find that I very much enjoyed this book!
Bliss, a character whom I won't likely forget, had a comical energy about her that snagged my attention immediately. I loved being inside her head and hear...more

He looked up from his reading, and suddenly I found it hard to swallow. He was easily the most attractive guy I'd seen tonight - blond hair falling into crystal blue eyes, just enough scruff on his jaw to give him a masculine look without making him too hairy, and a face that could have made angels sing. It wasn't making me sing. It was making me gawk.

Ok. This is one of those books that stays with you. In fact, I immediately went back to reread a couple parts as soon as I was done last night, at like 3 am, and then again this morning.
The main character's name is Bliss. For one, I'm so jealous that I didn't think to name a character that. I LOVE it. She reacted to things the way I would have.

The premise of this novel is really promising: A chance encounter that leads to a taboo relationship between a theatre student and her professor. It’s a shame that it was wasted on such a poor story about a naive little girl and a man whose only charm was his British accent.

This story had me at HOT BRITISH GUY!
I was a little worried from the title that Losing It was just going to be about a girl trying to lose her V-card, but I’m happy to say it wasn’t. What you get instead is a sweet story of immediate attraction, and chemistry that develops into more. Have you ever met someone who instantly lit your insides on fire? Well, this is what happens to Bliss when she runs into Garrick.

For such a short book, Cora Carmack does a really great job in connecting you with all of her characters --
Garrick: a hot guy who is British and reads Shakespeare.. Woah REWIND, and I repeat, he's British AND reads Shakespeare.. Like c'mon. Why are fictional boys always so perfect?!

Loved the book :D Garrick was just *swoon* HOT and British *orgasm* <3
Short read, super hot and a lot of chemistry and the right amount of drama ;)
The one lines were pretty amazing and overall, I really enjoyed the book.
It was like my uterus was tapping out a happy dance on the rest of my organs.
wtf lol
If brains could have orgasms, I’m pretty sure this was what it would feel like. HEHEHE

Hahaha x_x fuck, I'd be so embarrassed.. I'd pass out
and boy does he look BLOWN <3 :O

I think the reason why I waited so long to pick up this book was because of the cover. I don't like it. At first, I couldn't tell if the person on top was a guy or a girl, and once I figured it out, I decided he just wasn't someone I wanted to read about - definitely NOT the Garrick I was picturing. So when I saw the sequel on NetGalley - with a MUCH more appealing (and sexier) cover - I read the summary and decided to give the book a chance. And boy was I glad.

Pretty much like everyone else, not only did I immediately add the book to my TBR list but moved it to the top based on the SMOKIN HOT cover. The story was so good that I never realized it wasn't hot. Sure there was a scene at the beginning going there (and was picking up steam) but then "Stop! Cats! Stop!... LMAO.

Look! As of this update on 3/1/13, Losing It is now on bookshelves! Hoorah!
I totally related to this book. Why?
1.) I was a theater geek.
2.) ”The trouble was...as much as I didn't want to be a virgin, I also didn't want to have sex.”
3.) Bliss is clumsy to the point it's not cute, it's utterly cringe-worthy. And slightly dangerous.
Is this book about MY college years??

This was more like 3.5 stars, but I rounded up because I have a thing for British heroes and I loved Hamlet.
I enjoyed this book. Bliss was a bit bumbling. She tended to find herself in embarrassing situations and while they were often a bit mortifying they were also pretty amusing to read about. When she goes out her goal is to find some guy and lose her virginity. She ends up meeting Garrick (who ends up being her teacher) and you have the set up for an entertaining read.

When I saw the cover of this book on a friend's GR page, I knew I had to check it out, and I once I read the blurb I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! Turns out Garrick is just as dreamy as he's personified on this cover, and this was one sexy, fun, sweet romance that I just loved!

Charming. I found Losing It to be such a charming, light-hearted, yet thoughtful story that left me smiling from beginning to end.
Bliss is a college senior who's decided that it's time to give up her V-Card. It's not that she's saving herself for marriage, it's just something that hasn't happened. When her friend drags her to a bar to find a one-night hook-up, Bliss is resigned to go along with the plan.

What did I really love about this one? It seemed honest and real. Bliss is a normal girl who has held onto her v card a little longer than others her age and is determined to give it away before she gets out of college. It seemed like a good idea at the time but nothing comes easily for awkward Bliss Edwards and her journey to losing it is anything but ordinary.
Bliss really was an awkward, slightly nerdy theater major. I fully appreciated that she was not a typical book girl. She was quirky; for...more
