Goodreads Synopsis:

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: Okay about an hour after setting up my TBR for this week, I was approved for this books and it's companion by Edelweiss and after re-reading what the book was about and seeing how short it was, I decided to dive right in. And once again I made a huge mistake starting a book like this right before going to bed the night before my nursing clinical. because I stayed up way late reading it. I won't bother trying to tell you what this book is about, because the synopsis does a great job setting it up. 

What I Liked: Bliss is at a bar with her best friend and they are looking around for "the one." The bartender is immediately attracted to her, but she doesn't feel a spark. So she's about to leave realizing that maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all, when she finds a guy, reading a compilation of work by Shakespeare, by himself, at a bar.  She's immediately attracted to him (as I would be) and goes over to meet this guy and tada he's British (positive point 2). I believe this is what sold me about this book. I was originally skeptical about the whole plot, just because I didn't like the idea of a girl being so carefree about who and when she gave her virginity too. But I always joke around with my friends that my dream is to meet my future soul mate is somewhere were we are both reading a book and  are immediately drawn to one another. The 2 main characters end up winning me over, because even though they immediately want to jump into bed with one another, it doesn't happen until the perfect moment. 

What I didn't Like: The reason why most of my books get 4's and not 5's has to do with predictability. This book pretty much had no big surprises, but in the end was a beautiful story.
