Fumble

He has charm, class, money, and experience… Everything I want in the man I’m going to convince to take my virginity. Faith Fairchild is my new assistant – half my age, with no concept of just how sexy she is. I would love nothing more than to bend her over my desk and show her who’s boss, but my golden rule is – don’t sleep with virgins. I want no strings sex with a woman who knows what she’s doing. Just because I don’t plan to score, doesn’t mean I can’t play the game… right? When challenged to a little bump-and-run, can the innocent virgin really play the ultimate player? FUMBLE is a sexy, lighthearted romance.

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.

The age difference......
The age difference had me not liking the book enough for 4 or 5 stars. At times she acted her age and then other times she was very mature for her age. She could turn it on and off. He was someone to me that was not thinking straight. She was old enough to be his daughter. They were crazy about each. I wish she was at least 5 or 6 years longer than him. She had not experienced enough life to be tied down so early. She did not have real job yet. Loved their friends. Remember I did not write the book but this is my opinion.

not for me
I can’t tell you why I don’t like this book but it’s the truth.
I didn’t find the female lead likeable.
The author for me just made her character have too many hats to wear.
She’s strong willed but in the next breath let’s someone walk all over her.
She says things that her character in the previous chapter wouldn’t.
The way she acted sometimes felt like there would be no repercussions for it.
It’s not a bad book it just wasn’t for me.

This was a fun, lighthearted sports romance about Faith, personal assistant to Pro Football player Hunter Vaughn. Faith wants to lose her v-card and has set her sights on Hunter to do the deed. Loved the characters.

Bring on the next
Oh my gosh this book, who doesn't love a romcom?
Soooooo many lol moments, I needed tissues to wipe away the tears of laughter streaming down my face... next on the must have list coffee lots and lots of coffee. I stayed up so late/ early *is 3am late or early. I don't think I know anymore 😆* reading this book *mum duties on no sleep are not the one*
Faith and hunters book isn't without trouble and a few mishaps along the way, but it makes the end oh so much sweeter.
Coop and zee were the most fantastic secondary characters and I cannot wait to get to know them better in the next book. Bring it on ♡

As a new to me author I wasn’t sure what to expect from this Eva Haining release. I am a sucker for a good forbidden/age gap romance and Eva definitely delivered on that. I also really enjoyed the fact that this was also a bit of a rom/com....I’m all for serious & angsty books, but sometimes it’s good to laugh. And let me tell you, I think that the first sex scene between Faith & Hunter might be one of my favorite ones I’ve ever read - and I have read A LOT! Definitely give this book a read.

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.

Ok. This book has some good elements but overall is was just too much, to the point of being cringey. Hero is a hot athlete set to be in the hall of fame at 46. He hired his mentor's 21 year old virgin, sheltered daughter to be his PA. Of course he has instalust for her, but tries valiantly to fight it. She goes all out to provoke him into taking her virginity. Too bad she is naive, silly, immature and super clumsy to the point it's hard to read, again cringey. The ridiculous situations are a plenty. He is supposed to be older and wiser but all he does is lust after her, fight his desire, and get jealous, lather rinse repeat until he gives in. Oh and throw in a shady manager, some sexual trauma, scandal and angry parents.
The book is billed as a romcom but for me it was awkward. The writing just wasn't compelling enough for me to buy the story. I'm gonna pass on the next one I think.

I really enjoyed this book. Faith was a hoot, and it was nice to read a character as klutzy as I am. LOL! I also enjoyed the dynamic between her and Hunter. The tension was there, and the eruption of all that pent up lust was worth the wait. The reason for the lower rating is because of a few things. I wanted a little more substance and background for the characters. It would have been nice to have their external relationships with friends/family fleshed out. I also didn’t like how Faith’s dad responded to their relationship after his initial shock. More of a reconciliation would have been nice. And the most frustrating thing about this book was the author’s constant use of the term “lady jay”. Every time I was in the moment reading the intimate parts of their story, I was thrown out of it when Faith thought of her “lady jay”.

I really wanted to like this book. I did laugh out loud a few times. I love age gap books, but this one was just a little to much. Faith, the main character, is just desperate. She's way to clingy and very naive. Hunter is hot and sexy, former football player. He's twice Faith's age. A lot of drama-which that bring me that much joy.

Oh my goodness this book was AMAZING. LOVED EVERY STINKING MINUTE OF IT. I want to be Faith. Such a cute story. Wow wow wow
Just read this again and man do I wish every book was this good. I have never done this but one other time for Julie Garwood's The Gift . But this book is a 5

Fumble by Eva Haining
‘God, you’re gorgeous when you laugh.” He stills, running his fingers down my cheek. It’s so disarming. The intensity of his gaze is unnerving, and yet I can’t take my eyes off him. I instinctively chew on my lip, desperate to have just one taste.’
This book came into my life at a time when I desperately needed to laugh, to feel something positive, upbeat, good. That is precisely what Fumble embodies. It is a love story absolutely crammed full of mishaps, laughter, hijinks, feisty female protagonists, ridiculously sexy heroes, over-the-top flirtation and a generous dose of romance and humour. From the very beginning I figured that author Eva Haining had delivered not only a particularly spectacular romantic-comedy plot, with perfectly timed comedy and stellar dialogue, but she also happened to create, manifest and put forth one of the most endearing, quirky, charming, clumsy and adorable heroines I’ve had the pleasure of reading.
Every scene that Faith inhabits is filled with levity, disaster, entertainment, heat, teasing, confidence and disarray. She is a walking contradiction. A self-assured Virgin, with a plan of action. She’s awkward and graceless yet so very beautiful and utterly delightful. She’s organised chaos and a whirlwind of energy and emotion and I absolutely adored every single thing about her. She was such a kick-ass, refreshing, independent and ballsy protagonist. She turned the usual ‘virgin heroine’ trope on its ass, raining down attitude, poise and assertion. Faith wore the mantle of heroine with style and substance. It isn’t any wonder that our reluctant hero, Hunter fell madly in love with her.
Hunter was a truly breathtaking hero. He absolutely refused to be hemmed into one slot or another. He was successful, powerful, intimidating, sweet, sexy, thoughtful and full of integrity. He was also honest and upstanding and did I mention sexy? He has the mouth of a very delicious and depraved sailor. Add all that together and what we’re left with is a tremendous powerhouse couple, an inferno of passion and sexual tension and a storyline that will keep you giggling, grinning and melting right alongside the cast of players.
The writing in Fumble is first class. The comedic timing, the cringe-worthy incidents, the banter and friendships, the thigh-clenching intensity, it all binds this romance story tighty together, to deliver one of the best books I’ve read this year, showcasing two of the best characters I’ve watched fall in love this year.
If you’re having a tough time reading right now and everything just feels like it’s too much, then please take a chance on this book by Eva Haining. It is the most uplifting, super funny, hella dirty and swoony romance story.

Klutz + Footballer = HILARITY
Fumble
verb:
to do or handle something clumsily
Klutz
noun: clumsy or awkward person
Known for her angst-ridden romance novels, Eva Haining has tried her hand at writing romantic comedy ... she has succeeded brilliantly. FUMBLE is the perfect entry into this new genre for Ms Haining. Smiling and laughing, from beginning to end, I thoroughly enjoyed every word of Faith Fairchild and Hunter Vaughn's wonderful story.
Faith is not your typical heroine. Yes, she's sassy, smart, sexy, and confident ... she's also a walking disaster ... she's a klutz! If she's not tripping over her own feet, she's injuring herself on the bath (oh you must read this to believe it!). She's also a virgin ... and she's determined to get rid of that V-Card. She's just been given the chance of a lifetime ... to be Hunter Vaughn's personal assistant during his summer tour for the Hall of Fame, which he is about to be inducted into. Faith sees this as the perfect opportunity to lose that V-Card. She begins to plan everything out, but when she sees Hunter she decides he's the one who going to help her in her quest. There's just a couple of problems though, he's a lot older and her father was once his mentor.
Hunter is your typical ex-footballer: he's incredibly sexy, loves women, swoon worthy, confident and totally alpha in his ways. He's also extremely honest and an absolute gentleman, where Faith is concerned. The more time he and Faith spend together, the harder he finds it to resist the sassy young woman she has become. even the age gap between them starts to become inconsequential. Oh this man is in so much trouble, especially after a wager is made between the two of them.
Ms Haining was extremely clever with the situations that she put her couple in, some were simply hilarious, others were extremely tense. As their friendship developed, I marveled at how Ms Haining used Faith's clumsiness, both in actions and words, to present some very interesting interactions.
Can Faith persuade Hunter to take her V-Card?
Will Hunter be able to resist Faith's clumsy ways?
Keep an eye out for Zee and Coop, Faith's and Hunter's best friends. Ahhhh Coop, that man was just simply divine!!! They are a riot to have around and definitely require a story of their own.
FUMBLE is definitely a required read. Non-stop laughter from start to end.

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.

This book was flipping hilarious as well as awkward at the same time and I totally loved it. I not usually a fan of huge age gap stories, but I am so glad I gave this book a chance. Faith, is the ultimate lovable klutz who just always seems to have the worst luck in the most hilarious way; while Hunter, is the older wiser playable who tries to stay away from Faith, but can't resist her odd ball ways. Hunter had the hardest time coming to his feelings for Faith since she is the youngest child of his beloved mentor and coach.
I actually enjoyed the entire book except for the part where Faith basically puts her foot in her mouth and essentially starts an avalanche of crap. However, other than that the book was so good I didn't want it to end. I really felt for Faith and her parents, they had every right to be angry with their daughter, but in my opinion they took it too far, but there was Hunter and Zoey to the rescue.
I loved their besties: Zoey (Faith's awesome bestie) and Cooper (Hunter's best friend), they had their backs from the beginning and never wavered in their support. I can't wait to read their book and it looks like doozy ;) Zoey aka Zee was so awesome and she loved Faith so much she would do anything for her or to help her especially the Malcolm situation, the butt munch.

The first page is literally Faith telling us she wants to loose her virginity.
Her dad got her a job as Hunters assistant. They have chemistry straight away and he really likes her but her dad was his mentor and he’s older. Though I don’t think it ever said how much older.
So he takes a woman home right in front of her. When he gets back to the hotel she is talking to a guy and he gets mad. She never really stands up for herself with him and his double standards.
So he tells her he cant do anything with her, take home another woman, gets angry she is flirting, begs her not to make him betray her father, ruins her date by turning up and joining them and then says he cant. This is all before 20% of the book. He gave me whiplash.
To she was a virgin she was very forward. His manager is an ass and its obvious he is going to do something.
She bangs her head and he takes her to his room and cancels interviews to make sure she is ok. I actually can not remember when they had sex but it was sometime after this.
The manager does something but of course she doesn’t tell Hunter.
I don’t know how this woman is a fully function adult. She acts like a child all the way through. She tells all of Mcds about their sex life, she calls her lady bits va-jay-jay then later lady jay. She gets pulled over and she calls the police po-po. She was annoying
Her dad completely overreacts and it does make her grow up a little. Hunter tries to talk to him but nothing works. I did love that when it was out neither of them wavered, they were together and that was that.
She finally tells him about the manager and that is dealt with and he gets his hall of fame thingy
They get engaged and I was happy for them even though I wasn’t rooting for them for most of the book.
Her dad takes way too long to say sorry and when he does she forgives him way too easy
Her dad got her a job as Hunters assistant. They have chemistry straight away and he really likes her but her dad was his mentor and he’s older. Though I don’t think it ever said how much older.
So he takes a woman home right in front of her. When he gets back to the hotel she is talking to a guy and he gets mad. She never really stands up for herself with him and his double standards.
So he tells her he cant do anything with her, take home another woman, gets angry she is flirting, begs her not to make him betray her father, ruins her date by turning up and joining them and then says he cant. This is all before 20% of the book. He gave me whiplash.
To she was a virgin she was very forward. His manager is an ass and its obvious he is going to do something.
She bangs her head and he takes her to his room and cancels interviews to make sure she is ok. I actually can not remember when they had sex but it was sometime after this.
The manager does something but of course she doesn’t tell Hunter.
I don’t know how this woman is a fully function adult. She acts like a child all the way through. She tells all of Mcds about their sex life, she calls her lady bits va-jay-jay then later lady jay. She gets pulled over and she calls the police po-po. She was annoying
Her dad completely overreacts and it does make her grow up a little. Hunter tries to talk to him but nothing works. I did love that when it was out neither of them wavered, they were together and that was that.
She finally tells him about the manager and that is dealt with and he gets his hall of fame thingy
They get engaged and I was happy for them even though I wasn’t rooting for them for most of the book.

This is an age-gap story and I thought I would give it a go. I was impressed that the age difference was not a constant reminder. It was a well balanced story of family,friends and coming into one's own. I enjoyed the chemistry, banter and playfulness of Faith and Hunter.
Blurb:
Faith Fairchild has a plan.
Now, all she needs is the man.
Hunter Vaughn was voted sexiest man alive four years running. He is mouthwatering in every way imaginable. A football legend - he's about to be entered into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. My job is to keep him happy no matter what.
He has charm, class, money, and experience...
Everything I want in the man I'm going to convince to take my virginity.
Faith Fairchild is my new assistant and half my age, with no concept of just how sexy she is. I would love nothing more than to bend her over my desk and show her who's boss, but my golden rule is don't sleep with virgins. I want no strings sex with a woman who knows what she's doing.
Just because I don't plan to score, doesn't mean I can't play the game... right?

Faith is the daughter of a very tough NFL coach. He got her a job as the famous Hunter Vaughn's assistant. It's only for three months so she can get a feel for how the industry works. She never expected to have feelings for the known player. Maybe it's a good thing he's a player with the plan she has for him. Hunter isn't a relationship man. He does a favor for his mentor to let his daughter work for him. He was not expecting a smoking hot woman. Will he go along with her plan or will he save her from regretting her decision to do it?
Faith being so sheltered was upsetting. Her coming to terms with making her down decisions felt empowering. The first morning on the job was entertaining. Her date with James was hysterical. The plan to lose her virginity changing was great. The hospital scene was embarrassing. The drive-thru changes everything. Malcom is disgusting. James is extremely rude. I love that he always finds her during his conferences. Zoey and Cooper are awesome friends. The ending was beautiful.

This is my first book by Eva Haining and I can confidently say I will be reading every new book she releases. I love it when I take a chance on a new to me author and when I finish the book I just know I have read something special.
To begin with I thought the name of the book was a play on Hunter’s former profession. But it was something completely different and it was so entertaining to read. Secondly Faith was an absolute breath of fresh air. She was adorably hilarious and was the standout character for me.
Last but certainly not least - prayers to the big man upstairs but boy I cannot wait to get my hands on Coop & Zee’s book and that it’s release date is just around the corner!!! The small snippets towards the end of the story had me wanting more.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

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.

This is an honest review for an arc received.
This was a sweet RomCom and the characters were developed well. The banter between Hunter and Faith is funny.
Faith is a confident and sexy 21 year old, who has just landed a dream internship, who is also a virgin. She gets to be none other than Hunter Vaughn’s personal assistant for his Hall of Fame tour, and is hoping to lose her V-card. Hunter is a know player and Faith’s father is his mentor. Hunter tries hard a first to stay away, but Faith finds ways to work under his skin. These characters have witty banter, and a whole lot of sexual tension.
I will say there is a large age gap between the 2 characters, but the book is well written and its easy to forget. This book is a sweet rom-com that will leave you with a smile on your face. This book was a 4.5 star read. Loved it!

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.

I won this book from the awesome Eva - and I have to say it is Laugh out Loud funny.
I giggled at Faith’s clumsy awesomeness. Felt for poor Hunter in his fight to not fall to Faiths charm. A few times I thought oh girl you didn’t.... but she did. And it just gets better.
But what I loved most was the underlying bigger issues that were hit spot on. Faith being a 21 year old virgin tells of her why she’s still holding on to that card.... and y’all I cried a little when I read it. Sent it to my best friend saying “THIS!!!!! This is why!!!” I’ve never read a book that so spot on says the pressures our family sometimes puts on us.
And not just that, but how stand up strong Faith is, with the help of Zoey. I knew exactly what she was feeling during one particular scene when she asks Z for help.
Overall- I loved this book. And will probably read it over a again, soon. ❤️❤️

An enjoyable read
It took me a while to get into this book, the premise was a little hard to believe for me. But once the banter and shenanigans started the pace picked up and I was hooked.
Faith and Hunter,not exactly a match made in heaven but they sure did check each others boxes. I enjoyed how Hunter revelled in Faiths mishaps, never taking it too seriously and turning it into their thing. Very cute.
I did however find the father turning up at the 11th hour and wanting to walk daughter down the aisle a little unbelievable and unrealistic. Either I’m not one to forgive so easily but then for me that person would need to earn that back, and a quick apology doesn’t cut it for me 🤷♀️ but each their own.
Definitely worth the read and I’d love to find out what Zoey and Cooper get up to next.
