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 takes care of it completely for me.
I'm neither here nor there with this one. It was an ok story, cute, light and fluffy, but not what I expected at all. What I expected was what I described when I looked at the cover and read the blurb. I didn't connect with the story until about 75% into it. I felt a pull but not enough to really grip me.
I definitely in the minority with this book it seems, so I'm going to explain what didn't work for me.
The relationship between Garrick and Bliss started out one night and then stopped quickly after because he is her professor. Understandable. Their relationship was on and off throughout the semester and not for long periods of time either. When they were back on the final time, an 'I love you' drops.
I'm sorry...what?!
I didn't see it coming! The I love you came out of left field. Is it possible that the I love you's didn't fit for me because I didn't have a strong connection to the characters or the story? Sure. It's possible. But when it was said, I just didn't feel it and it surely wasn't needed, in my opinion.
Bliss, the heroine, is suppose to be this awkward 21 year old virgin in college.
