Fumbled Love Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

4.5 out of 5 stars 1,563 ratings

The one day English teacher Reagan Wild is late for work - and looks like she dressed herself in the dark - she remembers Carter Anthony, a well-known football star, is coming to the school to deliver a talk to her students.

While Reagan knows Carter from her high school days, since he was her past crush, she wasn't ready to see him again. At the time, she hated being invisible. But right now, she wished she could simply disappear.

Carter Anthony is keen to give back to his hometown, but what he doesn't expect is getting something in return. When a chance encounter with Reagan, the shy girl from his past, happens, he knows instinctively this woman is supposed to be in his life.

With an embarrassing ability to blurt out whatever's on her mind, Reagan doesn't understand Carter's attention. She has no doubt, though, he'll soon realize his mistake when he discovers just how crazy she and her family are. But no matter what he sees, what he hears, or how her looney family behaves, he doesn't run. In fact, Carter's family seem just as unique as hers.

Through dog poop, naked yoga, and the paparazzi, can Carter and Reagan have any hope in love, even when it's fumbled?

Contains mature themes.

    OMG the wicked sense of humour in this story is sensational, right from the beginning!

    Reagan Wild, an English high school teacher, encounters Carter Anthony, a famous footballer and someone from her old school days, at her school assembly. And the fun really starts!

    There are so many hilarious scenes in this book that not only did I laugh out loud, I rip roared with laughter making my family extremely curious as to what had me in stitches so much. Of course I told them to read the book! Reagan has a habit of speaking before thinking and at times what comes out of her mouth is priceless, her mother shows a similar quirky trait.

    The characters are so incredible, apart from Elena who nobody could like, everyone is so likeable- with all their quirks and everything or maybe it’s because of them! It’s through the lead character’s points of view and the many conversations in the story that we get to know and understand each character. The author has done this very cleverly too. As well there are fantastic setting descriptions that clearly paint a visual for the reader.

    This is a fast paced, easy to read story that has you eagerly turning the pages wanting to know what is going to happen next. It’s a feel good story that really does leave you feeling terrific. I’d really like to read about Brooke and Dustin next..I hope that is a possibility! 😉

    I have mixed feelings about this story. This story was entertaining, engaging and funny... Well, everything you expect and need from romcom. But there was few things, that is my pet peeve, that caused the struggle.
    Honesty, I wasn't sure to laugh, which I did, or be irked by Reagan, which happened too. I love quirkiness, but it seemed she had extra of that. Especially if she got embarrassed of her quirky moment, or when Carter is involved.
    I think the real reason why her quirkiness bothered me some, because it made me feel like she didn't accepted that part of herself. She always saw her quirkiness as embarrassment, instead of shrugging it off and being like 'I am who I am. Accept it. If you can't, that's your problem.'
    In all though, you can say a lot about Reagan, but you can't call her boring that's for sure.
    Carter was... While at the beginning for a while I had some doubts about him because of his past actions, I still give him a chance, because he may not be a person he was then. I was right. Carter matured a lot since his high school. He was something special. And honestly, I can't find anything else to say just to price him.
    Despite my pet peeve and everything would I recommend this book? Yes. Like I said at the beginning, it have a lot of fun. And more then one character to love. Oh, and I really wish, some of these characters will have their own book.

    I absolutely love Lila Rose’s romantic comedies, and Fumbled Love was an absolutely fantastic one! This author is well known for her riveting MC romances, but her third romcom is a testament to her ability to effortlessly shift gear in her writing style. Her romcoms are sweet, sexy and humorous romances featuring a curvy girl and swoon-worthy hero. Fumbled Love was as hot as it was hilarious, and I had a hard time putting it down.

    School teacher, Reagan, is surprised when her high school crush turned professional football player, Carter, shows up at her school to talk the students. Carter may have noticed her back in the day, but he didn’t act on it, and he had some ground to make up with Reagan. He was determined to get the girl of his dreams this time, and he worked double time to win her over. I absolutely loved Carter! Reagan was so much fun, and her family and friends added wonderful depth and dimension to the story with their own antics and personalities.

    Lila Rose has written another fabulous romantic comedy in Fumbled Love. Smiling from ear-to-ear, I swooned, I blushed, and I loved every single word of it! Whether you’re new to this author or a fan of her MC romances, her romantic comedies are absolutely not to be missed. Fumbled Love by Lila Rose gets 5 smooches from me!

    I absolutely loved this book- every single page of it!! First of all, Ms Rose is a hilarious writer- I don’t know how often I laughed out loud reading this book- full on, out loud laughs!
    This is such a clever, funny, sweet, sexy story!
    The H/h are perfectly matched- her crazy, funny, antics make her sooo lovable! And he is absolutely swoon worthy!! He isn’t overly alpha- just downright amazing! But in addition to the main characters, the author has created some of the best, well crafted, three-dimensional side characters you could ask for! The way they are all woven into this story makes it such a rich tapestry of storytelling!
    Each of the individual scenes are gems!! The scenes with family members were so authentic!! I wish there was more to each scene!! I loved the details in the story!!
    As I was reading this I kept thinking “Oh please let her have written many more books!!!” I cannot wait to dive into the rest of her library!
    If you like a slow burn, not very angst-y love story then this is your book!! Do yourself a favor and read it!!

    This is, perhaps, my fourth or fifth time re-reading this book and I swear every time that I read this book it just gets funnier. I love the comedic pace of the story, the sweetness of the characters and the feeling of just having a damn good time that I get whenever I read this book.
    Lila Rose is truly one of those authors who I believe could write anything and I’d give it a try because her writing is just that good.

    I always enjoy Lila Rose's romantic comedies! They are so refreshing and well written, sweet and hilarious. Reagan was particularly amusing given her penchant for blurting out the first thing that came into her head wherever she went but she was a sweet and kind hearted character who developed quite a slow burning romance with her old high school crush Carter. Carter was a really easy going and kind natured guy who meshed well with Reagan's quirky nature. They made a really cute couple and this was a satisfying and light hearted rom-com.

    *Reviewing for ROCK HARD ROMANCE*

    A new to me Author,and a 'second chance' Rom com story that had me laughing out loud right from the start!
    The blurb gives away enough of the concept to the story,so I don't feel the need to go into great detail,but what I will say is it's in DUAL POV's, with great characters,in not only the leads,the side characters are an added bonus,with the potential for more -which I hope there will be,especially Brooke (Reagan's best friend) and Dustin (Carter's team mate).
    Alongside the hilarious moments,it's a slow burn to the hotness and I really enjoyed reading and couldn't put it down.
