REVIEW: Floored by Karla Sorensen


Title: Floored
Author: Karla Sorensen
Genre: Sports Romance
Release Date: December 9, 2020
Cover Design: Najla Qamber Designs






If you've ever had a steamy one-night stand with a British football player and then find yourself pregnant with his baby, you know how Lia Ward feels.

To be fair, Lia didn't know who Jude McAllister was when they met.

Studying abroad for her master's program, all she knows is that she's a little lonely and he's very charming, even as they have an epically sexy argument about which type of football is superior.

In Jude's mind, shagging the feisty American girl is exactly what he needs. He’s been fighting the clock of his long-standing football career and the younger players primed to take his position. Proving that he can feel like his old self again—something he's been trying to do with everyone in his life—should be easier after blowing off steam with Lia.

But oh baby, when a plus sign pops up on Lia's pregnancy test, that 'one night' becomes a whole lot more.

Now Lia and Jude have to navigate their impossible-to-ignore chemistry, and prepare for the parenting game, something neither of them know how to play.


"All the English countryside stars for this awesomeness. It’s getting one of my rare 6 stars... I’ve read over 400 books this year and have only given 8 x 6 stars so that tells you just how much I loved this book!!" - Claypot Reads
"Karla Sorensen nailed the angsty and steamy feels once again in Floored. This unique sports romance was full of intense emotions and all consuming romance goodness. She never fails to bring out the best and the worst in me with her brilliant writing." (PP’s Bookshelf)
“Karla Sorensen delivers on all the things I love the best: the chemistry, the banter, the sweet steady burn that holds my heart in thrall and keeps my greedy little reader heart hungry for more. Floored delivered on all those things and more!” (Jennifer, Goodreads Review)






REVIEW

5 stars!

Oh how I loved Jude and Lia’s story! I cannot get enough of the Ward sisters and this story drew me in from the very first page. The chemistry and connection between Lia and Jude was magnetic and instant. Starting with their flirty banter and playful jabs to their sexy hookup that ends up in an accidental pregnancy. 

Lia is an American college graduate that has just accepted a rare opportunity to study at Oxford University in England for one semester in their English Literature Program. Being so far away from her huge family she is feeling slightly out of place and lonelier than she expected. There is so much I loved about Lia. She is beautiful, passionate, smart and has a bold, fierce attitude. I love all the Wards but the special connection she has with her twin sister, Claire I adored.

Jude is a professional footballer. He is gorgeous, funny and has the sweetest heart. I LOVED him and he was the perfect man for Lia. When it comes to his family he is the complete opposite of Lia and was slightly overwhelmed by the Wards. His parents have caused some real emotional scars and my heart squeezed for him and the pain he carries because of them. 

The Ward family hold a special place in my heart and just when I think I can’t love them anymore they rally and provide nothing but unconditional, loving support. 

Although there were many bumps in the road, the journey Lia and Jude travel was beautiful and written perfectly for them. Karla has delivered another phenomenal story that gave me all the feels. I adore the heart and passion that she pours into her stories and this one was no exception.

Well, let’s see ... I’m a wife and a mother. If the things that I write bring a smile to someone's face, then I've done my job. I am obsessed with Outlander (both the books and the show). I’m almost exclusively a romance reader, which means some people will never consider me a literary snob. If I could meet one historical figure, it would be Jane Austen. I received my Bachelors in Public Relations and worked in health care marketing before I had my babies. I hate Twitter. I do it, but I hate it. Also, if you want to get on my good side, bring me wine and I'll love you forever.
