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.

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!
Floored is a study abroad romance by Karla Sorensen. The third book in the Ward Brothers series, it's easily read as a standalone. However, reading the series in order definitely adds to the fun.
As far as I'm concerned, Lia's living the dream. Studying in England for a semester and meeting a hot athlete. Swoon. Course the dream doesn't involve a surprise pregnancy.
It's a great story, but it took me a little bit to appreciate the characters fully. And, damn, let's just say that Jude's parents are awful. Add in Lia's family history and cue the tears.
I like that the two work together and never have that big initial fall out due to those two pink lines. It's a nice twist on the typical surprise pregnancy storyline. Of course, there's conflict later on, and I love the way it's done. It's actually a development I appreciate and it never gets cheesy.
It's a tale of pregnancy and the upcoming life changes that one needs to deal with. It's a tale of figuring out their family issues, as well as distance issues. It's also a tale that explores opening up to others and letting people in.
The writing is wonderful, with everything flowing well and the storyline keeping me intrigued throughout. My only complaint is that I wanted more. I wanted to see some of their daily lives, both surrounding school and his work. But of course, that would have been a whole different story. lol
Overall, Floored is a good read. It's a nice NA read that explores finding one's place in life, as Lia struggles to figure out where she belongs, as she deals with the changes in her life. If you've been reading the series all along, you'll love this addition to the series.

"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)

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.
