That was way too short! I am not a huge fan of novellas, even though I've read two today, but I feel like I am left wanting an ending. I loved Bliss and Garrett in Losing It and I still loved them in Keeping Her it just felt like there needed to be more of a story line. I think I would have like to see more of Garrett's feelings and thoughts. This felt almost like just one scene in the movie that plays in my head for their story, also it ended at 72% on my kindle so I wasn't prepared for that either but I just needed more. The only reason it is rated 3 stars is because of that. If this was longer I may have been more satisfied with it, but it just was there. I also really enjoyed Garrett's friends and would have loved to read more about them! But I will just have to read some more of Cora Carmack's work and hope that will help me get over this need for more Bliss and Garrett.

Me tarde más en empezar a leer el libro, que leyéndolo en sí. Debo haberlo leído en un par de horas (menos, creo). Prácticamente he tenido que releer Losing It antes de empezar con este porque no me acordaba de casi nada de la historia.
En este libro, vemos un futuro de Garrick y Bliss, ahora están comprometidos y se dirigen a Londres para que ella pueda conocer a la familia. Lo que no me gusto fue que la protagonista fuera tan insegura. Si, sigue siendo torpe y graciosa, pero la inseguridad es algo que no me gusta nada. Garrick fue un amor, pero los hechos del final me hicieron sentir algo de pena/cólera por el.
Me alegró que al final se solucionara todo y terminará con un final feliz. La frase final me encantó, pero siento que ha sido demasiado corto y que fácilmente se pudo haber contado un poco mas.

Keeping Her Review on K-Books
When I heard that Cora Carmack was writing this novella I seriously couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Its no secret that I absolutely adore Cora and her work. Losing It was without a doubt one of the best debut novels I had ever read and instantly wanted more of Garrick and Bliss. Well Cora did not disappoint in this short novella that revists Garrick and Bliss.
Bliss has found her happy ever after. She is happily engaged to her loving boyfriend Garrick and things couldn't be more perfect. But then she has to fly to London and meet his family. Can Bliss survive the disapproving mother-in-law and the posh family and life that Garrick has left behind? And will their relationship stand the differences?
I loved Keeping Her. I literally could not put it down. Right from the start Cora grabbed me with her incredible writing style and she didn't let go of my attention until I had finished. I loved seeing the characters I fell in love with in Losing It again and I couldn't trun the pages fast enough to see what had happened to them and what was going to happen.
I loved ever second of this short novella. The only thing that I would have loved was that it would be longer. I am such a huge Cora Carmack fangirl and I love her books so much, I could just read them forever and for me Keeping Her was just a bit too short. I turned the page at the end and was like that it? Really? MAN I want more!
If you are a fan of NA then Cora's Losing It series is a must-read. It is one of the best I have ever read and she never disappoints. A lot of NA Contemporary novels are now just starting to be so repetitive and like they are telling the same story but Cora's never cease to amaze me. She is a natural storyteller and I will forever read all of her books. Keeping Her was a fantastic revisit of one of my favourite books of 2012 and it made me just so excited for Finding It.

Short and simple.
I wish there had been more interaction between Garrick's mother and Bliss though. I would love to see how the scene between them in the shop unfolded.

After finishing Keeping Her, I now realized how much I missed Bliss and Garrick in Faking It. I love these characters and I adored seeing how much their relationship has grown since the conclusion of Losing It. It was especially a nice treat seeing inside of Garrick’s head in the chapters written in his POV. The novella is a brief look at what happens when Bliss and Garrick visit his uptight family. The setup allowed for plenty of funny and sexy moments between the characters.

If you didn't like Bliss on Losing It reading this wouldn't make any different. On this short story we get a glimpse of Bliss and Garrick going to London to meet his family. I was expecting that Bliss would be more mature but she took a u-turn and became more insecure than ever. If you want to read Faking It just skip this book.
Love Garrick! Love Garrick and Bliss! Only problem I had was the last like 50 pages was a sneak peek to finding it. Which don't get me wrong I'm so excited to read and I knew this book was a novella but sheesh I wanted to read way more of their story! I just love them! Well done Cora! As usual! Love this series<3
Kind of ridiculous but it did make me laugh a couple times.
Overall a cute, quick read. I have to say, I was drawn in a bit when Bliss might be pregnant but other than that, it was just OK. Goes by super quickly and is just a cute fluffy ending to Bliss and Garrick's story :)
3 out of 5 stars!
