I'm literally dead. DEAD, I tell you. Shooketh from the amazingness that is The Bombshell Effect and Karla Sorensen's killer writing. Holy WOW. I absolutely devoured this book, from the very first word to the very last, and then proceeded to lick every juicy drop from my fingers as I sat there wishing the story wasn't over, wishing I could stay within this world -- with these characters -- just a little longer. And that is the BEST feeling.

The Bombshell Effect is proof that Karla Sorensen can write humor, heart, and angst in a harmony that should be illegal. I didn't just love this book, I inhaled it, making it a permanent piece of who I am -- and I'll never let it go.

Let me start by saying that my favorite thing about Sorensen's writing is how SMART it is. Her writing is so witty, so heartfelt, and so thoughtfully produced that every sentence pulled me deeper and deeper into the story. I could see the world, feel the characters -- hell, even taste the cupcakes shoved into Luke's pretty boy face. Sorensen has a way of pulling you into her worlds with ease, making it feel not as if you're reading a book, but as if you've closed your eyes and leapt into a dream world that you never want to leave. It's magical!

And, as much as I loved the Bachelors on the Ridge series, The Bombshell Effect highlighted Sorensen's talents even more so. This book was SO well-written. It was hilarious, steamy, and it held just the right amount of moments to pack an emotional punch. More than that? It was ANGSTY -- which is my favorite brand of romance. Enemies to lovers, with a boss/employee flair? YES, PLEASE! And Sorensen KILLED me with her angst. She nails the small touches, the lingering gazes, the heavy silences. It's all that broody goodness that makes me squirm and flip the pages faster. I couldn't get enough!

What was most surprising for me with The Bombshell Effect was the incredible tact with which Sorensen tackles feminism. Allie is perhaps the strongest heroine I've read this year -- and she owns it. She's fierce, battling issues of sexism in a heavily male-dominated industry as she takes on the role of football team owner. And she does it in ways that I didn't expect. For instance, there's this photo shoot scene where she (and her team) really grabbed sexism by the balls and squeezed hard, playing into the fact that just because Allie is an attractive woman doesn't mean she should hide it now that she's in a powerful position. You can be powerful without being "hot," but you can also be YOU -- hot, sexy, pretty, beautiful, whatever -- regardless of what title you hold. There are little gems like this sprinkled throughout the story that will give every female reader a little swell of pride, a little flame of power, and a little motivation to go kick ass on their goals. Truly amazing.

I could go on and on about this story, the author, and how much I absolutely loved every word I read. This is easily a top read of 2018 for me, and further proof that Karla Sorensen is one of my favorite authors.
