“Sometimes, it’s the scary things in life that are the most worthwhile.”


Losing It was such an interesting story here. I will admit that I bought this on impulse, I haven’t read this series by this author and I have been wanting to. I have dearly missed her writing and I have had the goal to try more new adult romance, especially if it has lower drama. I read the blurb and I knew I had to read this soon because the setup of the story was so fascinating to me. And it’s these types of setups that will work for me with the “Teacher-Student” trope. It’s not very often that this trope will work for me but if it’s written well, then it can definitely work for me. So the setup of this story is that our heroine, Bliss, is wanting to get rid of her virginity and also is feeling pressure from her best friend to have a one-night stand before they start their classes. So Bliss sees this gorgeous man at the bar reading alone and is intrigued, and instant attraction builds between them. They share a night together of course and Bliss escapes and leaves him in her bed eight hours later she sees the man she spent the night with, being her acting professor and now she is in deep trouble because she knows this attraction isn’t going to go away just because their relationship is forbidden.

I danced.

I danced without music. I screamed without sound. I celebrated in silence, in the dark, behind the curtains where no one could see.


I found Losing It to be such a blast of a read and I was so fascinated into seeing these two explore what they had together. I also loved the “Acting/playwright” theme to be so intriguing, we just don’t see this enough in romance. I was also fascinated by the forbidden feel of the relationship between Bliss and Garrick. I just adored these two together. Garrick is such a hottie inside and out. I adore how passionate he is and how he is so encouraging with Bliss. He wants her to embrace her true capabilities in the craft even knowing how difficult the road is ahead for her. I also liked that this wasn’t your typical virgin heroine either. This was such a fun easy going romantic read that worked so well for me and was such a quick sexy read.

Overall I found Losing It to be a fascinating new adult romance that is bound to deliver the sweet and sexy moments and bring to the reader a sense of satisfying joy.

No matter how close, you are always too far
My eyes are drawn everywhere you are.

I’m tired of the way we both pretend Tired of always wanting and never giving in
I can feel it in my skin, see it in your grin
We’re more. We always have been.

Think of everything we’ve missed.
Every touch and every kiss.
Because we both insist.
Resist.

Hold your breath and close your eyes Distract yourself with other guys
It’s no surprise, your defeated sighs
Aren’t you tired of the lies?

Think of everything we’ve missed.
Every touch and every kiss.
Because we both insist.
Resist.

No matter how close, you are always too far
My eyes are drawn everywhere you are.

I’m done. I won’t ignore. I won’t pretend or resist.
I want more.
