Floored

By: Karla Sorensen

Narrated by: Em Eldridge, Oliver Hunt

Studying abroad for her master's program, all Lia Ward knows is that she's a little lonely and Jude McAllister’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 knows how to play.

Love the Ward sisters!

I enjoyed this book when it came out and I was excited for the audiobook. I was not disappointed. The narrators did a good job of bringing this cute story to life. Highly recommend!!

Good story, uneven narration

I enjoyed the story here; the Wards have such a great family dynamic and while Lia is probably the sibling I was least interested in, I loved the latest hero we have in Jude. He is dynamic and so compelling; I wanted to know more about him and felt that he truly showed character development over the course of the story. Lia got on my nerves at times, but she too did have a clear character arc. Karla Sorensen is adept at crafting interesting characters and I look forward to Isabel’s book!

My problem with this book came with the female narrator’s performance - Em Eldridge is just not a narrator I find particularly skilled or enjoyable to listen to. Her delivery lacks modulation and her tone is rather flat. She also narrated Molly’s story (Focused) and I had problems with her performance there, too. I tried to give her another go with this book, but she hasn’t improved. Her cadence just hits my ear wrong and I find it hard to let myself get wrapped up in the story in her chapters, which is frustrating; I constantly felt pulled out of the story during her chapters. So, I will be avoiding performances by her in future. Oliver Hunt was a new to me narrator and he was excellent as the male lead; his performance really added to my engagement with Jude as a character and is the only reason there are any stars for narration on this title.

Overall, it’s worth listening to this one, especially if you have been a faithful follower of the Ward siblings; HOWEVER, I would suggest borrowing it thru hoopla/your library or waiting for a really good deal on Audible.

Another Ward sister hit

Listening to and reading this series has had me laughing more than any other book series in a long time and has actually evoked tears. Maybe I’m turning mushy. Maybe it’s hormones. Maybe it’s Maybelline, who knows. All I know is that I love this series and this author. So glad I found her.

Problems

The story itself was good. The narration was not! The narration gets better as you go along but Em Eldridge is a stiff narrator.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

bad bad bad narrator!!

was this a robot it's terrible!! sooo sooo bad! cant return SUCKS. Will never listened to this narrator again!

Cute story

It was cute. The female narrator was robotic, so after a while she was difficult to listen to. Overall the story was cute and quite Lia-ish. Impetuous, spur of the moment Lia.

I loved the family bonding that is inherent in the Wards, and the continuing legacy of Logan’s and Paige’s relationship that built the loyalty and foster the love of the Ward family. Logan continues to be a doll. Paige continues to be fierce. That they were supportive in anticipation of Lia coming out was special, and in the end I think they just expected the unexpected from Lia. That’s how she rolls.

I loved Jude’s character. The story didn’t delve way too deeply into his family drama but knowing he worked to be a better person himself was a good storyline. And that he loved his little pineapple was sweet. He was willing to change his life and himself to find his happiness.

I enjoyed the story and am on to the next Forbidden and Is’s story.

wonderful book

Great narrator's. Love the books by Karla Sorensen. Could read and hear all of them.

Love love love

I absolutely love all the books in this series. I love the real life experiences in every last book I read. I think this one was my favorite but I have more to read so we will see 😊

Ok book

The female narrator made it really hard to enjoy this story. Her way of talking was quite annoying. Overall a cute book though.
