Where have all this new to me authors been hiding this far?! I’ve jet to pick up a book in 2020 and not liking it and this one was no exception.
This rom-com had me LOL and trying my best not to smile like a crazy cat whole reading. It was funny seeing how much Hunter was fighting his attraction towards Faith. I loved her sassiness. Their relationship has left me with the biggest smile on my face and if you’re looking for a quick and light read this book is for you.

Because I made my husband read all the requirements of being nominated to the HOF, I fully believe that Hunter Vaughn belongs there. I am just starting the review off right. Wanted that out there. I am a fan.
Hunter Vaughn is a sexy MoFo with an honest to god resume. He’s nominated on his merits and getting inducted because he’s the GOAT! It has nothing at all to do with the nightmare PA that Hunter hired who was late on the first day, whose body he can’t stop staring at, and who brained herself getting out of a tub — because she’s a menace to her own health. Not to mention she’s his mentor’s daughter, and he can’t think of her in any untoward light or any light at all because it’s just not right. And now she tells him that she wants him to be the one who helps her get over being a virgin.
Life. Ain’t. This. Unfair. They aged can’t take this kinda stress.
This book was laugh out loud funny in too many places. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Eva Haining has an excellent grasp of the sports world, especially football. Her football speak, and the speeches that she had Hunter give were quite insightful and charming.
On the other hand, Faith was a gorgeous trainwreck that I loved to follow as she seemed as if she was crafted from the best people-watching ever. She’s the best friend you want to have and the story that happens to someone you want to know.
Fumble is a hit. I highly recommend it. It reminded me of Toni Aleo or Collette West.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary advance copy of this book.

Now I want to read the next book about Cooper and Zee!
Faith Fairchild had gotten her first job out of college as the personal assistant for Hunter Vaughan for the summer while he did the promotional appearances before he was inducted to the Football Hall of Fame. Faith had known Hunter when her dad coached him in college before he went to play professional football.
Faith decided she would use the summer to get rid of being a virgin but meeting the most gorgeous guy in the world even if her father had coached him may have changed her plans.
I had issues originally with the age difference between Faith and Hunter, but the story changed my mind in viewing the maturity level between Faith and Hunter.
So I won this from the author on a Facebook giveaway I think. It wasn’t bad. The story was a good one, but I had some issues with it. First it was very simple in a way, and actually made me want to get back to my own writing. But the book definitely got better with that as it went along, for the most part. Again, I think my own writing starts out maybe a little weak and gets better as you get into the story. There were some parts that bugged me a little, like calling it her Lady Jay over and over. It might have been funny the first time, maybe a second time, but it was at least one too many times by the end of the story. I also didn’t like how her dad reacted, although yes, the public humiliation totally sucked. But really, I still think he totally overreacted, and took way too long to get over it. I also have a tiny issue with the cover, I don’t like seeing the part that is totally control top pantyhose on her legs. It’s just kind of tacky, not sexy looking to me. But that’s my own issue. Not sure if I’ll read more by this author in the future. I’m not taking it totally out of consideration, just not one I have to search out and read everything by now.
I had a fun time reading this book. Faith and Hunter had a banter that was both smile-inducing and blush-worthy. And Faith’s mouth… That may have been the best part of this book. Who knew there were so many alternate ways to refer to lady bits? Some of her verbal diarrhea was a bit over-the-top, but she had quite a colorful, humorous vocabulary, for sure.
While I liked the humor I found in Faith’s character, I liked Hunter best when he was taking care of Faith. He had the whole sexy-and-charming thing going on, but his care and protectiveness was the most endearing for me. The chapters involving the bathroom catastrophe and aftercare were probably my favorites in the whole book.
There was a significant age difference between Faith and Hunter. I know that turns some people off, but it didn’t bother me so much. Though, it never gives an exact age for Hunter either. It just says he’s old enough to be her father. Since she’s 21, he could technically be in his early 40s. That’s not too unreasonable if that’s the case.
What I had a harder time with was how fast the story moved. Faith was throwing herself at her boss just 2-3 days after she starts working for him. That’s very brazen for a 21-year-old virgin. Not very realistic in my opinion, but maybe I’ve just never had a boss that hot. Who knows?
While the relationship was rushed and the characters somewhat childish from time to time, I will give the editing props. Aside from more exclamation marks than I prefer and some unnecessary onomatopoeia, I was impressed with the lack of punctuation and grammar errors.
Overall, this was a quick, fun read, and I’m anxious to see where this new-to-me author goes in the future.
**I received an ARC of this book from the author.**
Best romantic comedy I’ve read in 2020! This book had me laughing out loud at the impossible situations that these characters found themselves in. Not only was this book crazy funny, but the love story was a super sweet one and I loved the age gap as well. Definitely don’t miss out on this one!
Fumble is a romantic comedy that is sure to leave you with a smile upon your face.
Faith is a strong, sassy, independent and feisty heroine. She’s also completely awkward and accident prone, and has an inability to filter what comes out of her mouth. I found her to be completely quirky and charming and couldn’t help but love this character.
Hunter is successful, sweet and sexy, yet this former professional athlete is also quite intimidating and incredibly charismatic.
The scenes between this pair are hot and steamy and the sexual chemistry just oozes off the page. Their banter and dialogue is not only fun and flirty, but is sure to have you laughing out loud.
Although my first read by Eva Haining, it won’t be my last and I look forward to reading Interception the second title in the hall of fame series.
This is the first by Eva Haining that I have read and will not be the last.
Faith Fairchild is best described as a klutz. This is in most if not all aspects of her life. She is not only this but she is smart, sassy and knows what she wants and goes after it.
Hunter is an ex-footballer, and in no better way than a manwh***. He is also very confident and a total alpha in all aspects of his life.
These two have a chemistry right off the bat however, with the past they have things become a little complicated.
This book had many laugh out loud moments that had me wanting more. The twists in the story kept it interesting. This story was also very well constructed in the story-line and plot.
What a couple – Faith and Hunter. Eva Haining did an amazing job with this rom-com. Faith is his coach’s daughter but that doesn’t mean she isn’t hot. Faith is ready to not be a virgin. How could this go wrong?!?
This was my first book by author Eva Haining and i truly loved it. It was a real page turner and had me laughing from the beginning till the end.
I can’t wait to read another book by her.
This story was so entertaining. Faith is on a mission to lose her virginity. She gets a summer job for a famous football player and gets under his skin. She is such a klutz and has such a great personality. I loved the storyline and how the characters were developed. Faith had me laughing with her naughty comebacks and thoughts!
I couldn’t stop laughing or smiling while reading this. It’s fun, sweet, sexy and has so much in between that I immediately fell in love with Faith and Hunter. The banter and back and forth adds on to the tension and flirting. I couldn’t put this down. It’s lighthearted and one of the best books so far to just sit back and enjoy.
This is the 1st on a new series. Faith is sassy a self-assured virgin as well as a clutz who has a plan, but she just needs the man. Hunter is a playboy, and football legend who needs a PA for the hall of fame summer tour and hires Faith. Faith is the daughter of Hunter’s mentor and is therefore off limits. No spoilers: this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a beautifully written story which is a light-hearted and poignant love story, as well as being a fun, humorous, and entertaining all-consuming read. I look forward to reading more from this author and I highly recommend this for all readers.
Absolutely Delightful! This RomCom had me smiling and laughing throughout. The book is well written with characters that I simply fell in love with. The interaction and banter between Faith and Hunter ranged from hilarious to absolutely stunning. This is the perfect feel good book with huge doses of laughter and romance.
Faith is a sexy confident sassy and a little bit of a clutz. She landed the dream job of being Hunter Vaughn’s personal assistant for his hall of fame summer tour. But her number one personal goal – giving up her V-card and who could be a better candidate than Hunter. He’s sexy and a known player so he’d know all the right things to do. Poor Hunter is caught in a mess. Faith is his mentor’s daughter, too young and a member of his staff – all reasons to stay away. But trying to resist the sexy bumbling woman who gets under his skin at every turn is not an easy task.
I Highly Recommend grabbing up this great laugh out loud RomCom ASAP, you won’t regret it. Kudos Ms Haining for a wonderful storyline and this reader can’t wait for Zee and Coop’s story, book 2 in the Hall Of Fame series.
2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars
Faith has an summer intern job as the PA for Hunter. He is doing various appearances before his Hall of Fame ceremony. Her dad has been Hunter’s mentor since he was in college. Faith is on a mission to lose her V-card over the summer. Can she convince Hunter that he should break all the rules for her?
Loved these characters. Hunter truly was an honorable man and didn’t want Faith to make a decision she would regret later. I laughed so much throughout Fumble. Faith and Hunter’s best friends were great too. I highly recommend Fumble if you need a good laugh. Can’t wait for book 2.
Laugh out loud AMAZING!!!
OmG…. Faith is the daughter of Hunters coach. She is also a virgin on a mission to lose it during the summer while she is helping Hunter on his Hall of Fame tour. Hunter tries to stop her from trying to lose it with him. But the chemistry between these two is hot. You will laugh so much at things that happen to Faith.

What an absolutely amazing, fun read! I so needed this story. I loved Hunter and Faith. Hunter is sexy, confident, smart, everything Faith has ever looked for in a man and she has one thing that she needs him for and now she’s in for the ride of her life. These two are fun, sexy and to say the least Hunter is up for a challenge, but not strings attached. Can he keep it that way? Let’s see how this all plays out. This book was pure delight!
