Floored
by Karla Sorensen
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.
