I liked this better than Intercepted. Poppy is a lovable character and the plot is very fluffy.

Fumbled brings together Poppy and TK Moore, high school sweethearts who went their separate ways - him to lead the NFL as a wide receiver and her to a life as a single mother from an unplanned teen pregnancy (of which TK is the father). Even though I really loved watching TK step into his role as Ace’s dad, it did feel like the romance took the back seat and was an afterthought at times. I never doubted that TK was all in for Poppy & Ace which was very heartwarming to read.

Okay so after reading Intercepted, I thought there was no way that Alexa Martin could write another hero that I would love as much as I love Gavin, but then she wrote TK, and I forgot all about Gavin. We met TK in intercepted and just from the few times he was mentioned, I knew that I would like him and I was happy that he was getting a book. I will say that I wasn't super excited that it was going to be about a surprise child, but in the end I freaking loved it. Poppy and TK have so much history and chemistry and their story pulled me in and kept my attention. I can't think of one thing that I did not like about this book, it checks all of my boxes. It was sweet, swoony and steamy. Both MC's are awesome (flawed for sure, but who isn't), the side characters are great, I liked the conversation about CTE. And it was a quick fun read, even with the heavy topics.

I wanted to like this so much more than I did! Was marketed as inspired by Travis Kelce (lol) and that part delivered, but a lot of the side characters were so not for me - the skinny “bitch” with the big hair, dated and gross references to the size of women’s bodies, etc. Most likely won’t be coming back for any other books in the series.

I loved Intercepted, so was excited for another in the series. I think these books don’t really follow the typical romance beats, which is actually kind of fun. The plot here is so focused on Poppy and her life (job, kid, snark, how she’s gonna make it work) and the cast of girlfriends (AMAZING). The love interest was hot, but almost incidental with so much spotlight on our girl. Conflicts arose and were handled one by one, with lots of joy and good things for Poppy along the way. Definitely excited for the next one. (Oh, and the audiobook narrator was just fantastic.)

Very spicy at moments. A cute love story of a lost love and family, and of course football!

It felt a little more realistic than the first one, which I liked. But the story is a bit heavier and some of the issues touched on in the story deserved a bit more time, I think.

I love sports romance and this series has been so much fun to read! I love Poppy, TK and Ace. Poppy is dedicated to giving her son the best life she can and Ace is a spit fire who loves sports. When TK Moore spots Poppy at her job, he knows he can't just walk away from her again.

This series is so much fun! This was a great book and a fast read, I can not wait to read the next one!
