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 overexcited 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 … 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’s, can Carter and Reagan have any hope in love, even when it’s fumbled?

Great Author. AMAZING Book. GREAT Time. DO readers need more to love Lila, Reagan and Carter, as I was ????
Highly recomended Fumbled Love !
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!

This is the 1st in a new series and what a fantastic beginning Carter and Reagan’s story is. Reagan is a passionate high school teacher with no filter, but she detests getting out of bed in the mornings, and on the one day she is late, she remembers that her high school crush Carter is coming to talk to her excited students. Carter is a renowned football player who has retirement approaching, and he is going to be moving back to his hometown for a coaching position. Carter had a crush on Reagan in high school which she never knew about, and now he has her firmly in his sights, and is determined that she is not going to slip through his fingers. This is a well written story which is humorous, and with witty banter, a unique, hilarious, and crazy family members, a tad drama, and love, which all leads to an entertaining and addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
I stumbled upon this book today while browsing amazon and I must say it was a great surprise. I inhaled it all in just a few hours. I caught myself laughing out loud and swooning right along with Reagan. Carter was such an amazing character he took what he wanted but instead of scaring Ree away he made sure to be a part of her life first as friends then to lovers. I loved this book and it will be on my reread list for sure.

A slow burn rom-com that will have you laughing hysterically. I loved this book. The comedy kept a smile on my face the entire time way through. It makes you cheer for the heroine of the story because she loves herself even though she is so different. Which as we all know is awesome because being different is what makes each of us unique and individual.
My only bias regarding the book is it blatantly said BBW meaning the heroine is considered “plus size” or larger than average size. She is a size 14. That isn’t the average size nor is that really “plus” BUT as I said that is my bias.
Last but not least, truthfully, by about 76% into the book it starts to slow. You get the feeling it is over but the author isn’t ready to end the story yet so it starts to drag a bit.
Overall this book is a laugh out loud, snorting good romp. I highly recommend.
Entertaining, fun, laugh out loud, romantic story. It was a welcome delight to read. Carter and Reagan are a breath of fresh air. It’s been a while since a humorously joyful book has crossed my path, I enjoyed every second of this story. Well done Ms. Lila Rose!
I have never laughed so much at a book before!!
I wont have any spoilers or rehash the synopsis of the book because that is not the kind of reviewer I am. I am just going to tell you how much I loved it.
Seriously if you have never read a book by Lila Rose before this would be a perfect start!! You can’t help but love Reagan and Carter of course is swoon worthy like all of Lila’s male leads.
The fact that Reagan has learned to love herself no matter what and for once there is not a female character that is constantly over thinking and jumping to conclusions like all females tend to do. I mean don’t get me wrong there is but it isn’t to the point where it is self sabotaging or relationship sabotaging which I love. And Carter has learned from his past behaviors and is a better man for it. This book will most definitely be on my permanent re-read shelf.
From page one this story had me laughing so hard my belly ached. Carter a football star meets the one and only Reagan at a school function. Reagan who has no filter blurts out anything and everything. Her family which is also quirky like her also make it a funny and brilliant rom-com.
Reagan Wild beats to her own drummer, she is quirky and has a knack for letting her mouth run rampant when she is nervous and that is what leads her to an embarrassment with her high school crush Carter Anthony. Carter went on to become a professional football player and she doubts he even remembers her, as they never talked but Carter does remember her and he comes up with a way to convince her he is serious about her.
This was hilarious. I was laughing out loud and loved the way this story unfolded. The chemistry is adorable and you want more of this unique family and friends. Hope there is more to come.
4.5 Stars
Lila Rose (in my opinion) can write anything. I freaking love her MC series, but her romantic comedy books are freaking hilarious. This book was no different. Everything about this book I loved. Only one thing was missing for me and that is the drama (which you know I love) Everything else was freaking amazing.
Carter was the popular guy in high school and Reagan was the total opposite of him. She was not popular, she was a bit on the big side and she was a nerd. So hence not in his group. So he dated the popular girl too but also the bi**hy one as well. But he was always infatuated with Reagan, but to keep up with his status he never approached her or told her how he felt.
Now years later he is back in town. Still popular pro footballer but now he wants a simple life. He is done with the fame and soon will be retiring and then he meets Reagan again. And he knows now is his chance to finally get the women of his dreams. But it might be a struggle as she has friend zoned him.
Reagan is a quirky, funny, no filter English teacher. She loved teaching and her students love her. But she has a problem that when she is nervous she can’t control what she says. (Which is freaking hilarious) and she just did it again with her high school crush.
But why doesn’t it seem like her personality bothers him, can it be that her BFF was right and that Carter Anthony is into her???
This story was freaking hilarious, it was a slow steady romantic story that really will have you LOL, swooning, some parts made me want to slap someone, but most of all it was a story about second chances and that people can change when they grow up! Definitely another favourite for me from this author. I hope that Brooke and Dustin get their own book soon Lila Rose!
For my first Lila Rose story, I have to say I enjoyed it. This book is a laugh out loud comedy story that brings two people from high school back together.
Reagan is a teacher with a great set of students. She is happy with her life and works hard. But she is also a clutz and has issues with her mouth- meaning whatever she thinks usually comes out of her mouth, which brings us to our laughter.
Carter is a big-time football player. He comes to Reagan’s class to talk to her students. When Carter recognizes her, he remembers how much he liked her in high school but did nothing about it.
Fumbled Love is a story about learning not to worry about what other people think and to listen to your heart. There are some beautiful moments in this book, and I would highly recommend it.

Wowzers!! I cannot put into words how much you guys need to read Fumbled Love by Lila Rose. Both the main characters, Reagan and Carter, will keep you on your toes! Especially Reagan, that woman has zero filter and blurts out whatever is on her mind. It is hilarious.
Reagan and Carter went to high school together and crushed on each other majorly, however, it was secret crushing. Carter was a douche bag and Reagan was virtually a nobody as they were both from different crowds.
Insert a few years later and Reagan is a high school teacher who hates getting out of bed, and Carter is a NFL Football player ready to settle down. These two could not be more opposites but you know what they say, opposites attract.
Fumbled Love is by far the best romcom I have read so far this year! It is light, fluffy and all around amazing. I cannot tell you how many times Reagan had me laughing with her wit and banter. You guys need to read this ASAP.
Fumbled Love was a romantic comedy that had me laughing from the very start right to the very end. Reagan and Carter’s story is a slow burn that will hold you captive as they work their way past all the crazy outbursts, doubts and the second guessing. It is a story of a chance meeting with your high school crush and finally realizing you might be able to right the wrongs from your past. If you want a romance that will tickle your fancy, pull at your heartstrings and leave you with a huge smile on your face then Fumbled Love is the book for you.
Carter and Reagan oh how I loved them ! This is a sweet, sexy laugh out loud romance .
Carter is a talented, genuinely nice guy that just so happens to be a football star. He has always admired Regan from afar. They went to the same high school but due to peer pressure he never told her how he felt . A chance encounter at the high school where she now teaches English and he knows he can’t wait any longer to try to make her his.
Regan she is sweet , funny , beautiful , says whatever is on her mind but she is extremely self-conscious . She has always had a soft spot for Carter but in her heart she feels that she is not his type. When he shows up at her work she is for the first time in her life speechless..lol and when she does talk she is rambling crazy funny nonsense !!! I absolutely loved this couple and their amazing cast of characters !!!!

OMG If you love romance with loads of laughing then this is your book. This had me laughing so much. The one liners, and situation was hilarious.
I loved Carter, he is sweet, compassionate and caring. He knows what he wants.
I loved Reagan, she is independent, great sense of humour and outgoing. She is crazy, but so funny.

>-< >–< >–< >–< >–<>–< >–< >–< >–< >–< >–< >–< >–< What I liked/Didn’t Like: Reagan And Carter’s Story was witty and enduring as well as romantic and fun. Well written story that makes you laugh and get irritated sometimes at the sometime.
Holy cow, this book was FUN!
I’m a sucker for a BBW story, and when the heroine is incredibly funny, the hero is super alpha, sweet and crazy in love with the h and the secondary characters are just as amazing, boy! It’s golden!
I loved how the story progressed, I loved how the romance was there from the beginning, but slowly burning and I loved the end!
I ended this read with a huge smile and a desire to have just a couple more chapters, so I could enjoy those two together a little bit more.
If you want to laugh until your belly hurts, fall in love with all the crazy characters and swoon, Fumbled Love is for you!
Fumbled Love is an adorable and humorous romantic comedy with a hero and heroine who are a perfect match because despite how Carter Anthony acted when he and Reagan Wild went to high school together, he’s always seen her for the witty, intelligent, and amazing person that she is and now he has the chance to get the woman he’s always wanted despite his jerkish behavior all those years ago.
Readers will absolutely love and relate to Reagan Wild; she’s such a spirited and fun loving woman and even though she gets down on herself too much and seems to think that her uniqueness and her inability to think before she speaks makes her a woman that no man wants or can handle, she couldn’t be more wrong and that fact is more than proven throughout Fumbled Love by the way her students, her parents, and her friends treat and appreciate her.
Not only can Carter Anthony fill out a pair football pants and throw a touchdown pass with ease, but he’s also an all-round amazing guy who realized early just how special Reagan was and now plans to get the girl who he’s always wanted. I loved how easily Reagan could bring this alpha male to his knees and the way he becomes singularly focused on proving to her that he’s not the teenage douchebag he used to be and the way he feels about her is way more than friendly.
The supporting cast of characters in Reagan and Carter’s story play pivotal roles in helping these two figure things out and are instrumental in ensuring that the steps and the pace that Carter takes to woo Reagan are in tune with what Reagan needs to finally see exactly how Carter feels about her and why she doesn’t need to protect her heart from him.
The scenes with Reagan’s parents and best friend, Brooke, as well as Carter’s immediate family are an absolute hoot because readers never know what inappropriate remarks are going to be blurted out or how awkward their actions are going to be. But that’s what makes this group of people so amazing – they own their crazy and wildness and their personalities make for entertaining and hilarious moments throughout the story.
Fumbled Love is quite the slow burn romance, which is exactly how it needed to be. Carter took things slow in order to prove himself to Reagan; he treated her with care and respect, which went a long way to show her exactly how he sees her and how much her enjoys her company…her comical outbursts…her everything and it’s his words and his actions that make Carter one swoon worthy hero who has a kickass heroine by his side.
4.5 Poison Apples
I loved this book so hard! I laughed from beginning to end. I just loved Reagan. She’s so delightfully crazy. The things she blurts out had me in stitches. I want to be friends with her and Brooke. I loved Carter too. He’s grown so much from the jerky high schooler. I loved him and Reagan together. I loved the way he was with Reagan and how he made her feel about herself. It’s one of my favorite things about the book. I also loved Carter and Reagan’s families. They had me laughing really hard. I basically loved everything about this book. I would highly recommend this book.
This was a GREAT Rom Com! I absolutely loved reading it and couldn’t wait to see what craziness happened next!
Reagan is amazing, she is her own person and she is happy with who she is! She is a school teacher that is widely popular with her kids, even if she has a bit unconventional means.
When she was back in HS, she was picked on by the resident mean girl who also happened be dating her crush- Carter Anthony.
Carter was a huge douche back in HS, he was popular and his friends were awful, but he was a teenage guy and hung out with the douches that then made him one as well. He did not agree with them most of the time, but he didn’t disagree either.
Come to find out that Carter is absolutely an amazing guy- literally SUPER SWOON WORTHY!!!
Gah, please read this book, it was hilarious, heart warming, and steamy!
PS: I received this book for free in return of my honest opinion.
