Reto #48 PopSugar 2018: Una microhistoria.

Esto ni siquiera es una novela corta, es solo una pequeña escena de Garrick haciendo su primer tatuaje ya que perdió una apuesta y por lo tanto tiene que hacerse el tatuaje. El significado del tatuaje es precioso, puede que haya derramado alguna lagrima, fue un gesto muy romántico y tierno.

Esta breve escena fue una lectura agradable, es una pequeña adición maravillosa y hizo que uno de mis OTP favoritos sea aún más hermoso. Estos dos son perfectos juntos y aunque leí Losing It hace un par de años, me doy cuenta que nunca puedo tener suficiente de estos dos.

Como bonus hay una escena de sexo caliente y humeante en el baño mientras Bliss y Garrick muestran lo bien que se sienten el uno con el otro y lo mucho que todavía no pueden mantener sus manos separadas.

A todos los que han leído la serie Losing It les recomiendo leer esta escena, esta llena del toque de Cora Carmack.

We seriously ALL need a Garrick in our lives!!!

This very short story was written for one of Cora Carmack's fans. What a beautiful and wonderful thing for an Author to do. Her fan Kerry, was diagnosed with lung cancer and she wanted to do something special for her. "Losing It" and Hamlet were her favorites, so Cora wrote this for her.

It was perfect!!! Take a minute to read it, if you have the time!! It's just what the title tells you, it's about Garrick, getting a tattoo. It's not a lame tattoo or even one that makes you say "oh jeez". It's truly a romantic and loving gesture. You won't be disappointed.

Tenía esta historia corta en un 4 de 5, pero la subo a 5 de 5 con esta relectura, me gustó muchísimo más que la primera vez que la leí, me derriten Bliss y Garrick, los adoro. Me gustaría releer Losing It este año.

Spodziewałam po tej książce raczej historii bohaterów z 2 części, a tu takie zaskcozenie, bo znów wracamy do opowieści z pierwszego tomu.

Raczej jest to niepotrzebna historia. Nic nowego nie wnosi. Jest krótka i szczerze, nawet nic się tam nie dzieje. Ot zwykły dodatek dla fanów.

A short review for a short story, I quite enjoyed to delve back into the world of Garrick and Bliss but if I'm being completely honest, I would've loved to see a short story for Max and Cade. I see there's even a short story for book three in the series about those characters. Either way, it was a good read and I'm glad to see it was free to read in the series.
The tattoo idea was one I believe was really cute and I'm glad Cora didn't just write up another one of those tattoo's where the guy gets his girlfriends name on his rib (come on now, you know what I mean). If you're a fan of the series I recommend reading it, you might find you enjoy it - you don't need to read book two to read this story.

Mám jedinou výtku - bylo to až moc krátké! :D Ale supercute! Ta koupelna a pak to tetování awww. Dobrá sázka, díky, Spencere!

An anchor. With letters "II i".
"When you walked into my life, I was in Act II, scene i of Mackbeth. I may never love Shakespeare, but I´ll always love you. And I´ll always be thankful that I was reading that book in that bar at that table as you walked by. From that moment, you´ve been the thing that balanced me. You´ve brought me focus and clarity. You anchored me. Act II, scene i of that play will always be the beginning of our story. And that, to me, is something worth remembering every time I look in the mirror."

This is a cute little story where Garrick has lost a bet an therefore has to get a tattoo.

There is a smoking hot sex scene in the bathroom as Bliss and Garrick show just how hot for each other they still are and how much they still can't keep their hands off each other.

Garrick Taylor and Bliss Edwards

The Story

Garrick loses a bet (with Spenser, you know Max’s best friend/bandmate from Faking It) and has to get a tattoo as a result. Of course he picks the sweetest, most awesome, most Garrick thing.

Oh yeah and there’s a smokin hot sex scene. *cheeky wink*

This was just bad and uncalled for. Bliss and Garrick are still living in their happily after fairytale, la ti da. I read that the sex scene was supposed to be steamy, but it just seemed... nonconsenual? And like it wouldn't happen like that in real life? Weird. Stop trying to write Bliss like she needs to be some sort of porn star.

“I just wanted her to be my constant, whatever that would mean in five years or ten or thirty.”

“I found this inside.” I handed her the napkin, and watched as she read the logo for the bar where we'd met. Her eyes softened, and her lips pressed together. “When you walked into my life, I was in Act II, scene i of Macbeth. I may never love Shakespeare, but I'll always love you. And I'll always be thankful that I was reading that book in that bar at that table as you walked by. From that moment, you've been the thing that balanced me. You've brought me focus and clarity. You anchored me. Act II, scene i of that play will always be the beginning of our story. And that, to me, is something worth remembering every time I look in the mirror.“

They’re always so cute to read about!💛

Τα 4 αστεράκια πάνε κυρίως στον λόγο που η συγγραφέας έγραψε αυτό το short story, που δεν είναι άλλο απ' το να δώσει χαρά σε μια σοβαρά άρρωστη αναγνώστριά της που αγαπά το συγκεκριμένο ζευγάρι. Μπορεί σαν ιστορία, λοιπόν, να μην είναι κάτι ιδιαίτερο, σίγουρα, όμως, είναι ιδιαίτερος ο λόγος για τον οποίο δημιουργήθηκε.

This is the shortest book I ever read. I d’elle like I didn’t even read a book. That’s was so short. Whatever.
I think you just cannot not appreciate this book because there is nothing.
So 4 stars but not a solid one.

Well if that wasn't the most cutest and romantic thing I ever read, I don't know what is. A super short story of Garrick and Bliss that takes place after the second book in the series. Garrick lost a bet with his friend Spencer and has to get a tattoo. They head to the tattoo place where Max works and the tattoo Garrick walks out with has to be the most romantic gesture ever. And though I wasn't crying like Bliss, there were tears in my eyes and I'm pretty sure if the guy I was going to marry did what Garrick did, I would be crying too. Loved this short piece and I love re-visiting some favorite characters!
