Fumbled by Alexa Martin
4.0
Two high school sweetheart reunite in an unconventional meeting and there’s a nine year old secret between them.
Fumbled follows Poppy Patterson, a single mom to nine year-old Ace, as she reunites and rekindles her love with TK Moore, NFL star and her high school sweetheart. He also happens to be her son’s father but thanks to his evil mother, he never knew she was pregnant.
I loved Fumble so much more than I expected. It’s a smooth, mid-angst love story with some spice. It was my first book by Alexa Martin and while I was a little nervous in the beginning about the writing I found myself loving it more and more as I continued reading. Her heroine, Poppy, is authentically herself. I loved being inside her mind as lived her life with all these surprises and new chapters. She’s funny, cautious, and when she loves, she loves hard. I really enjoyed to see her connect with other women in her life and their friendships were so funny and full of love.
T.K. Moore is a jokester of the team and very focused on the game, at least until Poppy came back into his life. Since this book was only in Poppy’s POV, I didn’t really get to know him as much as Poppy but I ended up liking him a lot nonetheless. I was a little nervous about him in the beginning with all the secret baby but after a rough start he was so in love with Poppy and Ace. He was a great dad from the beginning. He was also obsessed with Poppy and I can’t ask for more.
This book also deals with the long term repercussions of what professional American Football can lead to, such as frequent concussions, injuries and other traumatic experiences the players can have. It was very interesting and I loved how determined and knowledgeable Poppy was about the whole argument. I loved her standing ground.
Fumbled is a sweet romance, with perfect angst and a great introduction for new found sport romance lovers!
