Fumbled Into Love by Nicole Cubba

I was lucky enough to get this as an ARC read and I am so glad that I did.
I LOVE me a good sports romance. I really am a sucker for this trope. I devour them all. Baseball, Hockey, Football - it honestly doesn’t matter. Idk what it is about the sports ones, but they get me every single time!
This one starts out on a curve! Deon got himself into trouble by publicly stating that he had a girlfriend - when our good MMC has not a single one of those! Insert Natalie right here and we have a good ol’ Hallmark (or Lifetime) type movie going on in this book! The two of them are hilarious and I absolutely loved their chemistry. It was very much giving. The laughter was amuck!
Throw in some forced proximity, and suddenly this fake dating turns into friends with benefits - to benefits galore - to much more than either of them thought! They honestly reminded me a bit of my husband and I because we are POLAR opposites, but we work for whatever reason lol.
The secondary characters in this novel are ON POINT. Because we all know I love some secondary characters. The spice was spicing and the pages were turning in this one! I would def recommend it to anyone who loves a good sports romance with spice and forced proximity. If you do decide to check this out, let me know!

I am immensely grateful to have gotten to read this as an ARC! Not only do I absolutely LOVE the man who sings She’s My Kind of Rain - but it takes place in my hometown! (well, close enough)!
I loved every single thing about this book! AND IT HAS A COWBOY! It is super cute and even has some spice! The FMC and MMC go well together! It is insta-love, so expect that. It felt very “right place, perfect moment,” and it showed in their story. It was very much like a perfect dream on how you would expect your life to go & it was very refreshing to read after being addicted to slow burns and things where 4958734986704 things happen before the HEA.
Y’all know I love me a good secondary character and this book did not disappoint on that either! I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good, quick super cute read!
The writing tho.. It almost seemed -- song like.. Lyrical, I think might be a better word. But it flowed so well and really touched on the fact that it’s about a musician itself!
