About this listen
After fifteen years of tending goal for the Boston Rebels, I’m known for two things: the highest save percentage in the league, and never spending more than one night with the same woman.
I’m definitely not the guy you should trust with your best friend’s little sister. Especially not when that sister, Jules, is eight years younger and my new roommate.
When I witness her on the verge of a panic attack while being intimidated by another man, I don’t think twice about calling her my fiancée and kissing her. Which brings me to the third thing I’m known for: reckless and impulsive decision-making.
After a video of that steamy kiss goes viral, the whole world is convinced we’re engaged. If we don’t play along, I risk losing my place as the starting goalie for the Rebels, and Jules’s reputation and career could tank.
Our engagement may be fake, but the memories of the way she tastes, and the feel of her body wrapped around mine, are all too real. And the more time we spend together, the less it feels like pretending.
None of the secrets from my past seem to matter as much when I’m with her. It turns out, Jules may have some secrets of her own–and uncovering them just might be what heals me…or what finally breaks me.

Story
I’ve always been a wild card–the first to start a fight on the ice, and the life of the party off it–but appearances can be deceiving. Being traded to the Boston Rebels could not have come at a better time. With serious family obligations to fulfill and a contract renewal with a new hockey team on the line, I have no time for anything else. I return to Boston knowing I need to buckle down and focus on what really matters.

I made a deal with my brother a long time ago to never date his teammates. Technically, Rowan Landry, the hot as hell center for the Chicago Falcons, is no longer my brother’s teammate. Or his best friend. Their college days are long behind them, and they barely talk now. Also, I’m not dating him—we’re just sleeping together. There’s a difference.

Chase Lovett. Star of my (unrequited) fantasies. Hottest guy on campus. Hockey god. Too bad he has no idea who I am. Literally, I’m so invisible to him that he once sat on me in class. No thanks to a fire in the dorms, he just became my accidental roommate. Did I mention the hotel room our university moved us to has only one bed? Not ideal.

Once upon a time I had it all: an Olympic gold medal, a career as a professional ski racer, and a happily ever after so close I could almost touch it. Then, my perfect life imploded in one tragic weekend. Five years later, I've rebuilt my life with the best girlfriends, the perfect new boyfriend, and a new career. Now my ex—the one who wrecked everything five years earlier—is back as the newest member of the national ski team, and I'm forced to be his physical therapist.

Story
A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

It’s not easy being a woman working in a male dominated field. Add in the fact that my uncle owns the baseball team I work for, and proving I belong here is a constant battle. Dating a player was never an option. Not if I wanted to keep a shred of dignity and respect. Then Ronan Sinclair sits down next to me in first class with his alluring blue eyes and hard-to-resist dimples. To say nothing of his kindness and charm, or his determination to convince me that a steamy vacation fling is what we both need.

I have never felt more alive or wanted anyone more than I want her.

Lennox Kennedy is beautiful, loud, and the love of my life. She's also my ex-girlfriend. The first time I saw her after ten years apart, I slammed into the plexiglass minutes before our game was set to begin. The second time I threw up. The third time's a charm apparently because as my fiancée and I walked into an appointment to meet the woman hired to plan our nuptials—there she was again. Obviously, I did what any smart man would do—I called off the wedding. I don't have a plan per se, other than winning back the only girl I've ever loved.

Story
I’ve always been a wild card–the first to start a fight on the ice, and the life of the party off it–but appearances can be deceiving. Being traded to the Boston Rebels could not have come at a better time. With serious family obligations to fulfill and a contract renewal with a new hockey team on the line, I have no time for anything else. I return to Boston knowing I need to buckle down and focus on what really matters.

It’s not easy being a woman working in a male dominated field. Add in the fact that my uncle owns the baseball team I work for, and proving I belong here is a constant battle. Dating a player was never an option. Not if I wanted to keep a shred of dignity and respect. Then Ronan Sinclair sits down next to me in first class with his alluring blue eyes and hard-to-resist dimples. To say nothing of his kindness and charm, or his determination to convince me that a steamy vacation fling is what we both need.

So when the woman I love to hate offers to help make all my dreams come true, I jump at the chance. Marrying Ava is a convenient solution: she's my kids' favorite person and the court will absolutely approve of the woman who runs the biggest charity in Boston.

It’s been six years since my last confession. Once, I was an innocent. My life was a rose-colored dream with four best friends by my side: Eternity, Heath, Angel, and Saint—my big brother and my hero. When Eternity was murdered, everything changed. My family put me in hiding to protect me. But no one can hide forever. Now I’m back, attending a tiny Catholic college and attempting to move on with my life with the help of the sinfully tempting priest, Father Salvatore. I never expected to find Heath, Angel, and Saint roaming the halls of Thorncrown University, thirsting for vengeance.

Another GOAL made for the Boston Rebels
Guys, I absolutely LOVED Center Ice so I was rearing & ready to go when Fake Shot hit my box & Julia Connors delivers people!!!🙌🙌 She comes screaming through the door with another audio that I couldn't press pause for. I am absolutely MAD over Colt & Jules!
This is just such a fun listen. End of story! When authors say, "it's a slow burn," Julia freaking means it! This burned so slow but when it HIT, baby did it HIT! Colt & Jules have known each other forever. He's her brother's best friend so feelings she's had for him over the years have just been pushed down & thought of as impossible. The story revolves around two dynamic characters thrown together in a fake relationship that spirals into something unexpectedly genuine.
Colt, the hot & talented hockey goalie has been a player in the past. Cruising in the fast lane, he's a resident bad boy but time & age are catching up & he's realizing that he wants to take life a little slower. You wouldn't initially come to this conclusion, but Colt has some real depth to him. The longer the story played out, the more I fell hard for this guy! And the mouth on him? Whew! Julia can write the spice ya'll. I was full on blushing.🙌 Will Chapter 37 be saved & replayed, absolutely YES!
Something unexpected was how much I LOVED Jules character. In Center Ice, she seemed rather closed off & not fun but in this book, you learn where that comes from & quite honestly, she's nothing like that. I freaking LOVED this FMC. Jules is a boss babe to be worshipped! She's snarky, has a hilarious inner monologue & doesn't give a crap what people think. We'd most certainly be friends in real life. I just know it! Colt absolutely loves when she acts like a brat. It drives him mad & I was all here for it! She's a girl whose used to being in control, but with Colt she totally feels outta control & this scares her to death.
I loved the vulnerability she has with Colt. She suffers with anxiety & Julia does a wonderful job portraying & writing about this. This is why I loved her so much. You've got a gal who seems to have it all together but in reality, she's quietly scared & fearful. Julia weaves together trust, ambition & vulnerability into this story which makes their story feel personal & familiar.
🎧Let's talk narration...Stella & Connor were honestly perfectly cast in this. Stella brings all the snarkiness, strength & the unguarded aspect of Jules to life. I absolutely loved her in this role. Connor already knows how to play this fiddle. He completely captures Colt's protective nature & sensitive side. These two together give you all the delightful banter, humor & emotional depth you want in an amazing audio. This one just hits all the right notes guys! YOU need this in AUDIO! Highly recommend this one!
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite hockey series on audio. Julia writes dialogue that just sparkles & draws you right into Colt & Jules playful rivalry & heart tugging moments. You just can't help but root for them.

This one is a NEED
If you have not immersed yourself in a Julia Connors romance yet, you are MISSING OUT! And this is your sign to fix that!
Fake Shot is one of, if not THE best reformed playboy romances I’ve had the pleasure of listening to.
Connor Crais plays Colt, a golden-retriever, hockey God, reformed-playboy goodness trying so hard not to fall for his best friend’s little sister. He wants someone to see him as more than the playboy persona. The only problem? That person is his now-fake fiancée and her brother would kill him. Connor did suchhh a good job portraying those emotions! Colt wins your heart over and Connor’s voice seals the deal.
Stella Bloom brings Jules to life. Jules is guarded, resilient, and would do anything for her family. One dinner and sketchy guy later, she’s forced into close proximity with the guy responsible for her built up walls. When Colt starts leaning in when no one else is around, and saying things that make her melt, she has to decide what’s worth putting her trust in. I could not think of a better narrator for Jules than Stella! Her voice sucked me right in to Jules’s life.
If you like forced proximity, fake fiancée , reformed playboy, all the sass, and all the spice - RUN to this book. I cannot recommend it enough!

Absolutely amazing
I absolutely LOVED IT!! The voice actors chosen added a whole new level to the characters, they were picked so perfectly. As for the story itself, I loved it. I always love brothers best friend troupes and the family dynamic with Jules and her big brother added a whole new level of protectiveness that I didn't know I needed. I loved them so much and the ending was beautiful.

Colt & Jules
What could be worse than having to live with your brother’s best friend, the man you’ve always crushed on? Maybe having to be fake engaged to said man. Jules knows this all too well. At the start of the story I was actually worried about how I was ever going to like Colt but Julia certainly made me do a 180 on my opinion about him! Colt & Jules have to deal with past feelings and hurt while also having to live together and fake a relationship while in public. The more they pretend and share fake kisses, the more the lines blur and things start feeling real. I loved that it was very much a slow burn but you still get the tension and little pieces of them along the way. Their chemistry was strong whether it be in the bedroom or just their banter. They fit so perfectly.
Colt really went from playboy to the sweetest boyfriend and he claimed a spot on my book boyfriends list! I loved the things he did for Jules and the way he proved that he cared for her. Connor and Stella excelled at bringing these characters to life. Spectacular performances by them both. Such a fun audio to listen to.

This Audio Introduced Me To Julia Connors
Jules and Colt stole my attention from the start of this book and held it until the last page.
This best friend's sister, fake engagement, and unrequited love romance will have you loving them too!
Colt has been the typical hockey star, and I loved him for always just being who he is.
Jules is shy and standoffish. She loves hard but only those that are close to her. She keeps her guard up.
Stella Bloom and Connor Crais are two that I always enjoy listening to. I loved their narration of this book. The chemistry between the characters was read perfectly between these two. The tone of Connor and Stella is done so well that you will not be able to stop listening once you start. I could listen to these two all the time.

Great Dual Narration
A cute mix of roommates with a fake engagement contemporary hockey romance. Colt, a goalie for the Rebels is one big softie at heart, but yet fierce protector, when it comes to Jules, his best friend’s sister, which leads to being fake-engaged to her and lots of fun banter and moments. I appreciated the sub-plot of empowering women in the trades too! I am so happy I got to experience this book on audio, as the dual narration was so well done and spot on with voicing emotions. I appreciated the opportunity from the author and Wordsmith to listen and enjoy.

Obsessed With This Series
Fake Shot is the second book in the Boston Rebels series. We were introduced to some intriguing side characters in book one. Jules Flynn was one of those characters, she is the snarky, take no shit youngest sibling in the Flynn family. She is also a boss babe that owns her own construction company and is in the process of getting her non-profit mentorship up and running so she can help more women get into the construction field and she’s only 25! Mathieu Colter is the 33 year old Boston Rebels goalie who has been in Jules’ life for over a decade now. He is best friends with Jules’ older brother, Jameson, and a well known playboy. Jules has had a crush on Colt since he entered her life, but he doesn’t see her as any more than Jameson’s little sister. When Jules finally realizes Colt will never return her feelings, she swears him off and then makes some very questionable decisions in Vegas. Fast forward six years and Jules has held true to swearing Colt off. The two have minimal interactions and when they do it’s a little hostile and clipped. But when Colt needs a place to stay his best friend immediately offers up the apartment on the third floor of their childhood home, the only problem is, Jules still lives in the brownstone and can’t stand Colt. One night in an effort to protect Jules from a sleazy businessman Colt declares Jules his fiance. So now not only are they roommates, they are fake engaged! As Colt starts to see Jules as more than just Jameson’s little sister, will Jules give in to her attraction to Colt once again?
The narration was so good! This is a dual narrated audiobook. Narrated by Connor Crais and Stella Bloom. Stella is a newer narrator to me and I have loved her work, Fake Shot was no exception. She did a great job bringing Jules’ sassy personality to life as well as her vulnerable side that had her heartbroken all those years ago. Connor was wonderful bringing Colt’s charming and flirtatious energy to life as well as his protective and nurturing side. There is a lot of banter in this one and it just hits differently in audio, so I definitely recommend checking this one out!

Brothers Beat Friend Goodness
Fake Shot by Julia Conner was such a fun read. It had all my favorite tropes rolled in to one, hockey romance, brothers best friend, fake dating, forced proximity and age gap! I absolutely loved how Jules was a bad a$$ contractor and ran a mentoring program to help women in the trades. I work in construction (office side) and I wish we had something like that for women in my area. Connor, oh Connor, he had a playboy reputation and he lived up to it. Jules always had a crush on Connor (how could you not) for years and always felt like it was one sided. The way they both ended up learning to trust and love together was my favorite part.
Narrators Connor Crais and Stella Bloom did an amazing job stepping in to the characters and bring them to live. Stella really was able to capture how strong yet vulnerable Jules was. I don’t what it is about Connor’s voice, but it’s like smooth whiskey, swoon.

Fake Shot is the 2nd book in Julia's Boston Rebel series. I just loved Jules & Colt together. Their story was sweet, funny and their chemistry was so good. The banter and tension between the two was so much fun.
Tropes:
Hockey Romance
Fake Engagement
Roommates
Brother's Best Friend
She falls first, he falls harder
Reformed Playboy
Slow Burn
I highly recommend the audio. Connor Crais and Stella
Bloom were amazing.

Fake Shot: Boston Rebels Book 2
🎧🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧🎧
My second experience with a Julia Connors story and we are two for two highly recommend!
I love this story so much! It wasn’t a straightforward story. It had curves and some of those curves even had twist and I was honestly surprised at almost every one of them. These aren’t twist like plot twist but more like these nuggets of information that happened or were told to us that really enhanced the story and made me think on more than one occasion “ohhhhhhh”. That’s an outstanding feeling as a reader! I like being surprised even when it’s something small and innocent and not some huge revelation. I was just very happily surprised at many moments in this story and that, in and of itself, captivated me and kept me wanting more!
I’ve never really been a huge fan of the ”friend’s sibling” trope because it’s almost always used as a point of conflict for way longer than necessary. I’ve never even understood why it’s problematic in the first place lol so when it’s dragged on for what seems like forever in a book, I get twitchy. LOL Well, Julia Connors did not drag it out at all! She didn’t even make it a point of conflict. Instead, she kinda blended it into Colt’s growth as a character! I mean … see, surprising nuggets of information! This entire story was full on little examples such as this one and when you put them all together, it makes an exceptional story. I honestly can’t find even a little tiny thing to quibble about! *heart eyes*
🎧 About the narrators … swoooooooooonfest! Connor Crais together with Stella Bloom made me incredibly happy. You know, a story can be a 10 out of 10 but if narration runs amok, it can derail everything about a story and that also works the other way! Connor & Stella elevated an already outstanding story with their narration. They both have very good ranges with “other” voices they need to narrate other than the leads. They make an excellent team!
