Floored by Karla Sorensen
4.0

Whoooooo-Wheee! I need a British footballer with abs. Geez. Why is life not fair?

Karla Sorensen is a sure bet for me. Pretty sure every book I've read of her has been either 4 or 5 stars and FLOORED is no exception.

Lia and Jude are FIRE. I loved that their first meeting was filled with sparks and verbal sparring. Their banter was hot and their steamy scenes were hotter. I loved Lia as a strong, but sometimes unsure, heroine. She is smart and funny and real in her vulnerability and baggage. Jude is so sweet and swoony and complex. Both of these characters are flawed but so bloody lovable. Classic Karla Sorensen writing.

I adored this couples journey, as rocky as it was. You will laugh and swoon and cheer them along. This book had a great amount of obstacles and conflict without feeling depressing or too emotionally heavy..

I took a star off my rating because there were a few times when the story happening to each of the characters individually got a bit long. I like back story beyond the romance, but it was a bit more than usual and slowed the pace if the book in some parts.

SIDE NOTE: This is a Rated R book with multiple descriptive sex scenes, but the scenes were oddly vague.

FLOORED is part of the Ward Family series, but is a great standalone. You could read just this one and not feel lost. But read the whole series because the Ward family are chaotically wonderful.

This is a great read that will make your heart happy!

RATING:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
STEAM: Rated R
TRIGGERS: Death of parent, parent abandonment
