Summary taken from Goodreads:
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 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.
Review:
So, I’m not gonna lie. I was expecting this to be one of
those books were a naive girl falls for her teacher and her teacher takes
advantage of her. Was I ever proven wrong, and thankfully so. I actually
respected Garrick because he doesn’t take advantage of Bliss. He actually does
everything possible in the beginning to avoid her. Not to mention they are only
like two year apart or something so you actually feel for them. You connect
with the characters. I was expecting to be disgusted with Garrick, but
considering everything happens before they realize he is her teacher I didn’t.
Not to mention he is a true gentlemen. Throughout the novel I kept telling my
co-worker that I was so confused about this book. I wasn’t sure if I should be
against their relationship or for it, and I wasn’t sure If I was for Garrick or
against him too. Then they throw in the possible other love interest and my
heart was being torn. Some people may not like this book because they believe
the idea of falling for your teacher and being with them is wrong..which in a
lot of cases it is. But, this one is different there is no pressure, no one
taking advantage of the other; in fact they seem to act like respectable adults—this
is a different look on the situations.
And the humour, I was not expecting it. I was expecting a
very serious book and it was at a lot of points but the characters were very
funny and it took be by surprise. Not to mention the hot passion. Holy crap it
could have melted the chair I was sitting on.
Good:
Garrick—not the typical character and acts like an adult
Bad:
Bliss—she really does think too much. I didn’t like how
she constantly second-guessing everything except her acting. Life should be
lived living not worrying. I guess maybe that is a moral to this story as well.
Overall (Writing style, story line, and general):
Overall the writing was very well done. The humour was
subtle and made me smile. The characters were interesting and filled with
depth. Cora Carmack takes you into a different hot-for-teacher scenario filled
with passion and confusion that makes your heard spin but your heart weep, and
your pulse race.
Viewer Type Recommendation:
If you like the hot-for-teacher scenario, or are a
general lover or romance and passion that this is the book for you.
