Foreplay on Four Wheels
  
They're a cheat, a con, a car crash waiting to happen...he's messed up and she's on the run.

From the moment Fetch gets knocked off his Harley, crawls into Driver's car and offers her an obscene amount of money to drive him from Sydney to Perth -- no questions, no names, no chit chat -- they're stuck with each other. By the time they arrive, they're stuck on each other.
 
It's lust at full throttle, with no seat belts. It could be more, but he's a fake and she's a liar.  They're both neck deep in crime, and only one of them is on the right side of the law.


Praise for FLOORED:

'I want more books like this.' -- My Written Romance

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Ainslie Paton always wanted to write stories to make people smile, but the need to eat, accumulate books, and have bedclothes to read under was ever present. She sold out, and worked as a flack, a suit, and a creative, ghosting for business leaders, rabble-rousers and politicians, and making words happen for companies, governments, causes, conditions, high-profile CEOs, low-profile celebs, and the occasional misguided royal.

She still does that. She also writes for love, and so she can buy shoes, and the good cat food.

5.0 out of 5 stars A stay up late, get up early, can't-talk-now-I'm-reading, kind of read
Reviewed in Australia on 17 April 2014

Floored is the third book I've read by Ainslie Paton, after Desk Jockey Jam and White Balance. She is prolific and I am so very glad because I love her style and while I think I've given all three of the books I've read 5 stars, I still think they keep getting better.
Ainslie writes romance with testosterone. It's my favourite kind.
I have read reviews of her work where people can't get into her style. I think if you want to read an Ainslie Paton book, you have to pull up your big-girl panties and buckle up for the ride. Be ready for emotion that grips your stomach in an iron fist. Be ready to feel with every bone in your body. I was cheering so hard for these two to get together - and be good for eachother - I had my own V8 car race going on in my Kindle.
I was absolutely craving my way through Floored. Every scene with Fetch and Driver upped the ante and got better and better. The hair-shaving and the arm-stapling, oh my Lord!!! And the dates! Those delicious dates.
This was a take-my-breath-away book for me. A 6-star read. I can't wait for more.

All of Ainslie Paton's books are excellent. Her metaphors, her descriptions and her ability to have you truly feel the emotions and personalities of her characters, are amazing. Sadly ,the covers of her books can deter some readers, they don't depict the quality of the literature inside.

Reviewed in Australia on 17 August 2015
Fast paced and gripping. Well-built sexual tension between the two MCs. An action packed story where the alpha male has a sensible (not just sensitive) side and adores the strong-will of his love interest. One to keep you up all night.

What to say? If you haven't read Ainslie Paton before, you must. Real, gripping story with adventure, twists and of course love. It's romance at its finest, most intelligent. No sappy heroine, no macho idiot hero. Real people, real problems and lots of fiction to keep it interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Australia's Kristen Ashley

I'm a big fan of Ainslie Paton's books. White Balance is one of my favourites - complicated, emotional and real. Floored is more action, with a tighter focus on the romance. Plus Floored has Sean.

Ah, Sean. Bad guy, good guy - the opening had me guessing, but I loved him!

I won't spoil the twists and turns of the plot for you, but this is one hell of a road trip.

Floored is such a clever title. I'm not sure if it has the same slang meaning outside Australia. Here it is both knocked to the floor by a wicked punch and foot to the pedal acceleration. Both apply! As does the synonym, Flawed.

Fabulous story that made me think of Kristen Ashley's books with their wild heroes and difficult choices.

*Disclaimer: Ainslie Paton is a fellow Escape Publishing author. She's also friendly, funny and smart. My review is not biased by knowing all this. I'm simply a fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Read by Ainslie Paton
Reviewed in the United States on 29 April 2018

I have read most of Ainslie's books and enjoyed them all. I was prompted to buy Floored when the author promoted it as being on sale a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure about the premise of a thief and an undercover police officer on the run but took a chance on it. I'm glad I did.

Ainslie tends to write complex, flawed characters that I may not like initially but end up cheering for by the end of the book. This book didn't disappoint.

3.0 out of 5 stars Road trip down under
Reviewed in the United States on 30 August 2014

Floored is a book by an Australian for Australians. As an American, I found the main character's horror at discovering a gun to be quaint. How charming that seeing a gun would have such an electrifying effect. (As the saying goes, guns don't shoot people, people shoot people.) They're not in every home in the USA but in certain states, where bears, wolves and cougars roam free, guns or rifles or both are fairly common. Add to details like this the need to look up the Australian references -- I googled the architectural style of a house, an Aussie word for daisy, and a third thing in the first few pages alone.
In this book, you learn the backstory toward the end of the book. The main character has recently left a romantic partner, after finding him in their bed with another woman. (It would have been especially interesting if he'd been with a man, but that's too far outside this author's box.) as she hurries for the door, she sees the open safe (yes, really), raids it and vengeance is hers. She goes to ground with the money, a new phone number and job and tries to start her life over. Sadly, the new life is far less interesting (with her college degree and years of office management experience she buys a cab license, which is not the way things are usually done in our country). I don't have a ton of interest in an underemployed character who drives a taxi.
It was fun to visit Australia and less famous destinations there, such as Perth, with these characters. But this road trip story, with the heroine's dogged insistence on ground rules, is a little dry for me. The attractive, criminal cheater boyfriend would have spiced scenes up if he'd been involved. The undercover drug enforcement agent . . . He's a good actor and he has not had a girlfriend in two years. You figure at this point for him, pretty much anyone with a pulse will do. Not convinced that it needs to be the cabbie. Pretty sure they're both at the right place at the right time. Three stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another 5 star book! LOVED it

I wasn't sure how Paton was going to follow "Detained" or if she could write another book as good as that one or even "Grease Monkey Jive," but she did. In a different way, of course, this book is as romantic and as suspenseful as her others. I'm not sure why there are only 4 other reviews, because I preordered this book and saved it for a night when I could read it uninterrupted! Paton's books are unparalleled for their romance, suspense, and sometimes emotionally battering after effects of reading them . Not quite as gut wrenching as "Detained," this book was a great read and I highly recommend it. Can't wait for the next one!
