Publicly fighting with a man for an oversold airline seat—Embarrassing!
Realizing he was the famous quarterback for the Atlanta Arrows—Awkward
Knowing he was your friend’s older brother and teenage crush but didn’t recognize you—Humiliating.

When I stormed out of the airport after throwing a temper tantrum, I never expected to cross paths with him again. All I wanted to do was put the night behind me and enjoy a strong martini.
The last thing I expected was for him to waltz into the bar and offer me a night I couldn’t refuse.
I had every opportunity to tell him who I was. Instead, I lied and followed my heart– okay, that was a lie too.It was pure lust and maybe a little revenge that had me following him out the door.
Now, we’re flying back and forth between Atlanta and New York. And the more time we spend together, the harder I fall.
Until news of our relationship gets blasted all over the internet.
I guess it’s true what they say, you can’t believe everything you read online, or can you? I’m not sure anymore.
Now I’m wondering if I should have left my heart on the sidelines where it belonged instead of trusting him to keep it safe, especially since the news of our relationship isn’t the only thing about to be exposed.

Kiley O：

Fumbled Love, Book 1 of The Atlanta Arrows series, was about 29-year-old (?) Kinley Roberts, a marketing director in a New York establishment, and 32-year-old (?) Maverick Cross, the quarterback for the Atlanta Arrows. (The reason for the question marks on the ages was due to the fact the author was never specific. The only things the reader was told were that Kinley's crush began when she was 14, that Maverick was 3 years older than her and his sister, and then we were informed that Kinley had been "waiting for 15 years" for him to ask her to be his girlfriend. So with that information, it seemed like the correct ages for the two of them.)

Trying to find a way home for the Thanksgiving holiday, Kinley was out of luck when a snowstorm shut down the airport. At the same time, Maverick was in line behind her waiting to fix his trip home too. Realizing from his attitude that he didn't recognize her as his sister's BFF, they exchanged a few heated words, during which he mistook her for a "fan girl" and all but propositioned her to keep his identity a secret from other passengers in the airport. When he was given the "royal treatment" by the same ticket agent who had given her a hard time, she pulled a revenge stunt and let it be known to all around her who he was.

Instead of heading straight back home from the airport, Kinley went to a bar to "drown her troubles". While there, who would show up but Maverick Cross? He was incensed that she'd caused him to be noticed at the airport and needed to have security escort him safely out. After some time had passed with them exchanging one barb after another, and him still not recognizing her, he invited her back to his hotel where they spent the night tangled in the sheets. The next morning, Maverick woke up to an empty hotel room. She'd vanished without a goodbye or note.

A few weeks later, Kinley found out there was a baby on the way. All she had to do was inform Maverick, her family, and his. She got his address from his parents, and when she told him who she was, and that she was pregnant, his first reaction was, "And you think I'm the father?". From that point on during her visit, every word out of his mouth only shoved his foot/leg/hip further down his throat.

This book had more than its fair share of angst and drama. The emotional rollercoaster ride was also in an abundance of twists and turns that were, for the most part, unnecessary. The conflict from outside influences was a head-spinning mindf*ck, at best. There were too many plot twists to unravel, and not all of them had an ending. More like a runoff sentence with no end in sight. There were also too many unresolved issues for the book to be considered great, especially where the main conflict was concerned. It never found a resolution. At least the author didn't let the reader find out what it was because it was apparently done off-page and without further mentioning.

Both of the main characters, while seemingly fully developed, had major flaws that made for a poor hero and heroine. They needed a lot of growth, and not all of that was accomplished by the end of the story. The FMC forgave the MMC too quickly, and she was also less mature than one would expect at her age. She let her emotions rule her the way a teenager would, so it wasn't a good look for her. As for the MMC, he was too naive for a man of his age and stature. He was constantly blindsided by what everyone else saw just at first glance.

I only gave this a three-star rating, and that was being generous. Here's hoping that the rest of the series proves to be better.
