Release Blitz- Ex Effect by: Karla Sorenson

Title: The Ex Effect

Author: Karla Sorensen

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Release Date: December 5, 2018
Cover Design: Najla Qamber Designs

The headline could write itself:

Matthew Hawkins, star defensive end, comes out of retirement to play for the Washington Wolves. 

Which is perfectly fine by Ava Baker—it makes her job as publicist for the team easier. 

There’s only two problems. This particular football player was her first crush. 

The bigger problem: Matthew Hawkins was once engaged to her older sister. 

It’s been ten years since Ava has seen Matthew. He’s bigger, better looking, and best of all—completely single. Despite his history with her sister, the attraction between Ava and Matthew isn’t so one-sided anymore. 

It’s hot enough to burn down the entire city of Seattle. 

But this headline is far more complicated to write. And not just for the press or what it means for her family— because once her heart is involved, there’s no predicting the ending.

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.

Five Stars

I cannot put into words how amazing this book was!

 Ava was married to her job and never cracked. Not even when she was surrounded by a bunch of sweaty, naked football players. It was her responsibility to keep the Washington Wolves PR in a positive light.

 Matthew had retired from football, but decided he wasn’t ready to leave the sport yet. Starting the season in a new town with a new team made him unsettled. He wasn’t use to being the new guy. The only bright spot was knowing Ava was there.

 Ava is hiding in the shadow of her perfect sister. This sister just so happens to be Matthew’s ex-finance. This situation makes their relationship less than ideal. Ava and Matthew were absolutely perfect together.

Karla wrote their story in a way that made it seem that everything in the past happened solely so that they could be together. The chemistry between these two may have been one sided when Ava was smaller, but had definitely even out now that they were adults.

 I was so sad to see this story end. I became so wrapped up in their story that I was seriously holding my breath at the end. It was also nice to get to see how the past characters’ lives have progressed. I cannot wait to see wait else Karla has in store for this series because I know one broody hero that desperately needs his HEA!
