RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Focused by Karla Sorensen


Title: Focused
Author: Karla Sorensen
Genre: Sports Romance
Release Date: January 7, 2020








If you've ever seen your teenage crush ten years later, and he turns out to be a complete jerk, then you know how Molly Ward feels. 

The last time she saw Noah Griffin was the regrettable day that she decided to climb into his bedroom window and turn her unrequited crush into something more. 

That day was bad enough, but things are about to get worse. 

Noah has become one of the best football players in the country, and he’s just landed on Molly’s front step. 

As a new addition to the Washington Wolves roster, Noah's presence is the key to Molly’s promotion in the front office. 

The problem is, Noah wants nothing to do with Molly, and his surly attitude is making her job very difficult. 

But he's got another thing coming if he thinks Molly will be intimidated by one grumpy football player, no matter how much he hates being around her. 

Once these two go head to head, their mutual dislike explodes into undeniable chemistry. But with what they have at stake, they just might detonate everything else along with it.



Caroline's Review

✮✮✮✮✮


Absolutely loved this!

"You get a reaction out of him that no one else seems to."
Molly Ward has to prove herself to her new boss, which means having to deal with the new transfer to the Washington Wolves. Someone she hasn't seen in ten years. Someone she nearly ruined. Her old neighbour and crush.

"Noah Griffin was staring at me like he was contemplating ways to devour me whole."

Noah Griffin AKA The Machine is known for his focus and dedication to his sport. His idea of downtime is working out more and watching play footage. Following him around for a documentary is bound to be somewhat boring. However, he never banked on working in such close proximity with the girl who nearly ruined his career before it had even started. Ten years later, he might want to keep his distance but there's something about Molly Ward that gets under his skin. The more time they spend together, the closer they become. But both could put their careers at risk by blurring the lines of friendship.

"If I touched her, I'd lose the tiny, fragile grasp I had on my control. When had she frayed it down to nothing?"
I adored Molly and Noah. They are such opposites. Molly is so open, sunny and welcoming. Noah is largely humourless and friendless. He keeps everyone at arm's length. He doesn't let himself be distracted by anything or anyone. However, Molly manages to crack through his walls and iron control, and he's suddenly feeling things for the first time in years. I loved that once he'd made up his mind to have her, he just went for it. I adored that Molly brought out the softness in him and made him realise that there was more to life than his career. There was a ton of intense sexual tension between them and they were so hot together! Fabulous read from this author.








Michelle Claypot_reads “All the stars in the world for this! What a way to kick off my reading for 2020!! Oh my heart! This was absolute perfection.”

The Overflowing Bookcase “A wonderful novel that will become one I will re-read time and time again.”

PP’s Bookshelf “I just love when authors make me feel every single confusing, infuriating, breathtaking and heartbreaking feeling right in my heart. And Karla Sorensen did exactly that in Focused.”










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.
