Cora Carmack

What happens after the happy ending? Garrick is over the moon that his girlfriend, Bliss, said yes. He's finally found the love of his life. That means his worries are over, right? But when he invites her to visit London and meet his family, he is presented with a whole new set of problems. How will his privileged and wealthy family react to Bliss's unique brand of awkwardness?

Keeping Her

Garrick Taylor and Bliss Edwards managed to find their happily-ever-after despite a rather . . . ahem . . . complicated start. By comparison, meeting the parents should be an absolute breeze, right? But from the moment the pair lands in London, new snags just keep cropping up: a disapproving mother-in-law-to-be, more than one (mostly) minor mishap, and the realization that perhaps they aren't quite as ready for their future as they thought. As it turns out, the only thing harder than finding love is keeping it.

A LOSING IT Novella

As much as I loved Losing It, I also enjoyed this novella, however this one felt a little bit too predictable for me. 
This was again a very fun and entertaining read but something was missing...

Andrea Ayala

I really liked the book, but... it was waaay to short! I mean I thought we'd see a little bit more. I think the ending was too abrupt, that's why it doesn't get more stars. Before the ending it was really good.

Adored this. I'll take as much Garrick and Bliss sweetness as Cora will give us.

I read a statement from Cora saying that she didn’t plan to continue on with the story of Bliss and Garrick. But I’m happy she changed her mind because it was really nice to get to see where their life headed after we first met them in Losing It.
The fact that we got to be inside Garrick’s head for part of this story was so fun. His calm, cool and collected demeanor is the complete opposite of Bliss’ hyper anxiety over basically everything. I loved the alternating back and forth, being able to experience this story from both perspectives.

What really made this story the most enjoyable for me was the new characters that popped up. From Garrick’s horribly offensive and intrusive mother to his buddies from an earlier time. They were quite crass and really called out Bliss on how she was crushing on her teacher, but they really kept this story lighthearted and fun.

The ending was also perfect. I feel complete closure now. Though I’d love to see Bliss and Garrick make an appearance in Finding It, if they don’t I won’t be brokenhearted. I love this series. :)
