Floored by Karla Sorensen
4.0
I enjoyed this book. I like both a sports romance and an accidental pregnancy love story. I didn’t know this book was part of a series when I started it, but I have now ordered an earlier book about the female protagonist’s sister.
I appreciated that Floored started with the sex, followed by the romance, and then plowed through the emotional baggage of the main characters. I liked that Lia was a smart grad student who actually worked on her papers and I believed in her character’s search for herself in her work, her relationships, and her environment.
Ok, can I talk about the cover now?
Can we please please please please stop putting photographs of couples on the covers of romance novels? For one thing, have you ever seen a professional soccer/football player shirtless? Google it. Usually when there is a ripped manly man on the cover of a romance novel I’m like, please, no one looks like that. In this case, yes, professional soccer players are totally ripped, with well defined muscles.
This guy is a normal hot guy, but practically flabby in comparison to pro soccer players. The male protagonist, Jude, works out every day for hours. This man does not. Finally, I’m just being finicky, but is that white thing on his jeans a tag? Someone needs to photoshop that out. Sigh.
