Blog Tour, Excerpt & Giveaway: Floored By Love By Finn Dixon
Rings Trilogy, Champions Series, Book 2
Lucas
I tell myself I can do it all over again. And do it better. Even without a boyfriend.
I mean…who better to succeed at the Olympics than me? Though training this close to Cam again and seeing how his body has developed might be too much for me.
Plus, being naked in the locker room with him makes it even harder…to focus.
It doesn’t take long for my pining curiosity to turn into desperate hope.
Is it possible that Cam still has feelings for me?
Camden
I relied on Erika to survive my heartbreak. I even made a new friend, the tall glass of water known as Colton. Any normal gay dude would have thrown themselves at him and said, ‘Pick a hole.’
Not me, of course. While I was tempted, at least one part of me didn’t give the green light. My heart.
What was left of it still belonged to Luke.
Without answers for what happened in Brisbane, he’s my teammate again. If only my hormones would mind their own business, then maybe I could focus on the Olympics and worry about Luke after I win.
Piece of ass…I mean, piece of cake.
I’m so fucked.
Floored by Love is a full-length gay romance novel, the second in the Rings Trilogy, with no major triggers, but possibly a little angst. Within these pages, you’ll find notepad flirting, almost-sex in a hospital, freeballing, a wet superhero with a bare ass, five Olympians in a hot tub and muscles flexing beneath designer jockstraps. Oh. It’s also the Olympics again. And though there’s a third book coming, there is no cliffhanger this time.
Review:
Floored by Love by Finn Dixon
“A Heartwarming, Exciting, and Humorous Story”
Floored by Love, by Finn Dixon, is a wonderfully heartwarming, incredibly exciting, low angst, feel good, sizzling story with addicting and humorous characters with such a perfect storyline to be read this time of the year. I really enjoyed reading it.
SQUEE! How thrilling to read such a story! It contains all of the elements for quite the read. I loved the storyline premise, setting and also the characters. That being said, however, there was just something about it that needed an adjustment. It’s content and flow seemed a bit disjointed or choppy, it’s inclusion of numerous secondary characters and sub-plots, albeit intriguing, overshadowed it’s main characters at times. As a first time reader of the trilogy, I was a bit confused about the direction and actual characters due to a need for more development and depth in both areas. While I loved mostly all the characters and the storyline, there is a need for more development, clarity and overall editing.
Floored by Love, is a story centered around the Olympics with a focus predominantly on Men’s Gymnastics. As this is one of the more popular of events, speaking for this reader, I need to feel like I was actually at the event. I need to feel the excitement and action from all of the moments radiating from not only the athletes but also the spectators. I need to read and experience it all, even on a basic level, rather than being told about what had occurred afterwards. I want to be able to cheer for all of the athletes as if I was actually present at the Olympics as it typically is a rare occurrence for all.
Even though there is a need for more plot and character development and another round through the editing process for more continuity, pace and flow as well, Floored by Love was a great story with fantabulous characters and such an exciting and needy storyline and I really liked it….:)

Excerpt:
“No! No! No!” Cassandra yelled at me for what seemed like the fifth time in five minutes. I was on the pommel horse and apparently, I wasn’t performing to her standards. “Your transitions are getting sloppy, Lucas. How many times have I told you that?”
I finished the flair sequence I was on and dismounted. “Too many to count,” I muttered.
But she must’ve heard me. “You’re gonna keep counting, Lucas. Because I’ll keep saying it until you get it right.” I felt my eyes roll before I could stop them and she barked, “Again!”
She worked me on the horse until my arms were jelly and she could tell. I was really getting sloppy when she finally told me to take a break. I knew not to complain about the intensity. That only made it worse with her. After almost four years, I knew what not to do around her. Complaining was one of those things, and talking about anything personal was another. I headed over to the bench, wiped the sweat off my brow and armpits with a towel, and alternated sips between Gatorade and water.
Ty jogged over to me. “Is it safe?” he joked.
I looked behind him. “Probably not for long.” Cassandra was on her phone. “How’s it going, Ty?”
“That’s ‘Coach Ty’ to you, bro.”
“Ah yes. I still don’t understand how you manipulated Woodward into giving you that kind of authority, Assistant Coach Ty.”
“My natural charm?”
“You certainly put the ass in assistant.

If you liked that opening paragraph, or the self-deprecating sense of humor that came with it, you’ll love his style of writing. When he isn’t being sarcastic or trying to make someone laugh, he spends his other free time annoying his boyfriend, snuggling with two kitties, and giving car-walks to his beloved dog.

And yes, I like jocks, but I promise all my books won’t be about them.
Or will they?
