Good story.
Heroine of this book is twin sister of heroine in previous book.
I don't think it overly matters if this is your first book in the series but there are conversations with previous characters from previous books.
Non man-whore Hero.
Neither are virgins.
ONS resulting in pregnancy.
The couple meet feel an instant physical chemistry but also connect over snark of British football versus Americans calling it soccer.
During brief time of ONS and her telling him she's pregnant, it's a month I think, both are busy with work/career.
His past
'
"Don't get me wrong, my brother hasn't dated anyone of consequence in years. And even when he did, back when he was first in the league, it was exactly the kind of woman he shouldn't have been with. They fawned over him, and it just ... it didn't help keep his feet on the ground. And Jude struggles as it is to do anything else with life beyond football, so people like that make it worse."'
No intimate scenes other than the Hero and heroine.
No other woman or man drama.
No cheating or flirting with anyone else.
HEA.
Epilogue.

Loved
I can’t get enough of the Ward family. I love this series because of the strong writing and the family that makes you want to be a part of it. Lia and Jude’s story was a great break from the craziness of the world.

Lia goes to England for school. Just looking to learn. Meets Jude. A football (soccer to her) player who just needs a little happy in his day. And well ... I loved watching this story unfold. They both grew so much in such a short time. Exact what they both needed.

Floored is not what I expected. From Miss Dorensen, I was expecting so much more. The story is nothing new for romance
One night stand went wrong eith sudden pregnancy. The writing for the plot is OK.
What is missing is thr connection between the characters. Both Lia and Jude feels like stranger until the end of the story. It is mssing the emotional connection.
Anyway... moving on...

This book was pretty entertaining. The author does a great job with the family dynamic. The lack of communication in regards of important topics between the MC was a bit frustrating but needed to continue the storyline.
Floored just blew me away! First, Jude is flawed but mesmerizing. With that British accent, the way he acts with Lia, and his slightly snarky personality, he is swoony. Lia, who I had only gotten to know in Faked as Claire's twin sister, showed much more depth and tenderness than I expected. I suppose this is one of those times I should berate myself for not going back and reading the Washington Wolves series, or at least Molly's story in this series to get to know Lia better. Regardless, I came out of this book totally enthralled by both main characters.
This story involved dealing with emotional baggage, and Jude had more than his share, and Lia had her own she brought with her to the UK. The theme for them was what do you focus on to avoid facing your truths. This reality was heartbreakingly hard, and it was challenging reading as they did what they needed to do. Karla's writing about this was on point, and you actually felt their pain as they struggled to do what was emotionally healthy. And that, right there, showed a level of maturity that is not usually brought to the forefront of the storyline. I loved watching these two work through not what they wanted but what was needed.
After reading Faked, I thought perhaps the goodness of that story was a fluke, but I know now it was not. Floored was a supremely satisfying read and has re-affirmed to me that Karla Sorensen is a fantastic writer. Her stories worded beautifully show emotion, tenderness, passion, family-loyalty, sisterhood, and pure love in a crystalline form that leaves the best kind of book hangover.
