Floored

Karla Sorensen — 2020

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.

"london boy" and "lavender haze" by taylor swift

"I swear, you girls have an athlete radar, and it's going to be the death of me. Couldn't one of you end up with a lawyer or a teacher or a dog trainer or something?"
"Be careful that you don't anchor your thoughts so firmly on the past that it's hard for you to deal with your future, especially if part of that future is unclear."

reading about the ward family felt like coming home! i missed them so much!

i was expecting a different love interest for lia in the previous books but i actually love jude and lia together!! i feel like they are really meant for each other! lia is what jude needed and jude is what lia needed

"I don't know this guy, and I hope he is doing whatever you need him to do, but the second he doesn't, he has to answer to me, because that is my job. The moment you were born—you, Claire, Molly, Isabel, and Emmett—it became the most important responsibility of my life to make sure you're taken care of and loved the way you should be. I won't apologize for that."
ugh logan making me cry on a plane

Floored by Karla Sorensen Ward Sisters Book 3 ★★★★ 4/5 Lia found herself in far away from home for a semester and her sister suggested that she let go for a night to try to help with her home sickness. She found a cute guy and ended up in bed with him, 3 weeks later she finds herself getting sick. Thankfully they had exchanged contact information and had been talking. That doesn’t mean that star football player is going to take it any better especially because his football career is looking like its going in the trash. Both of these characters need to go through a lot of development to get where they need to be in order to raise a family. Lia hasn’t even figured out what she wants to do with her career or if she even wants to be done with school yet. While Jude is about to lose his football career if he doesn’t pull his head out of his but. I enjoyed watching them struggle since i was also a young mom and I felt like i could relate in a way to their struggles. Jude and Lia also have undeniable chemistry. They go about things all wrong in their entire relationship.

Well, I’ve run out of Ward Sisters books to read and this makes me sad. Fortunately, the fourth book isn’t that far off. Surprise baby isn’t a go-to trope for me, but it’s one I tend to enjoy when I do read it. Floored was no exception. Jude and Lia had smokin hot chemistry and they were so easy to root for. Great read.
