BOOKWORM REVIEW: The Plan by Karla Sorensen
STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥
This is a wonderful story about two broken hearts made whole by finding each other.
Once a social butterfly online and off, Lydia Pierson has isolated herself from the world in her parents' home after a traumatic accident. She knows all of her loved ones are very concerned but stepping out into the spotlight seems easier said than done.
Erik Wilder has been tapped by former teammate Luke Pierson to be a shadow to Luke's daughter Lydia. Her hesitance at first has put them at odds with each other, but Erik's unconventional approach to drawing Lydia out to the world again might be what she needs.
I love these two. The tension from their first meeting is so palpable and slowly builds its simmer until it eventually boils over. Erik is gruff and broody, but there is a gentle and caring touch, especially when it comes to Lydia. While Lydia may have been a shut-in for months, it does not take away from her sunshine.
Is it a slow burn? Yes, it is, but the wait is worth it as we get to know and fall in love with Erik and Lydia along the way. Their families are equally adorable. This is my first introduction to the Washington Wolves universe, but I will definitely be going back to catch up on Allie/Luke and Dominic/Faith's stories.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Have you ever fake-dated your bodyguard? I don't recommend it.Especially if he's anything like Erik Wilder: former football player, world-class know-it-all and unapologetic grump.
To be clear, I didn't want a bodyguard (hence the fake dating idea). Most days, I can’t figure out why he wants the job either. We drive each other insane, probably because we’re as opposite as two people can be.
He’s suspicious, never talks about his past and has the comfort skills of a cactus. I’m a happily ever after kinda girl who knows exactly what she wants out of life.
Erik’s words might say that the lines have to stay firm between us, but those dark eyes of his? They tell another story when he looks at me.
He’s just as stubborn as I am, but when our fake dating plan starts to feel a lot more real, it's only a matter of time before his professional walls come crashing down.
I just have to hope my heart doesn't get buried in the rubble.

MEET KARLA SORENSEN
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.Connect with Karla
