It's such a well thought-out plot and I love how everything falls into place at the end." - Editor"I've just finished reading Floored and absolutely loved it. I loved the relationship between Drew and Hannah as they both overcame their (realistic) problems. The comedy throughout was fantastic, I don't think there was a second that I didn't have a smile on my face. It's a great romance, with lots of extra strands to it to keep the reader entertained and excited."- Reader
