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.

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.

I’m a curvy sports geek. Liam’s a hockey god. He’s way out of my league… My brother’s best friend is acting really weird. Flowers keep showing up. He sends me Cameos and concert tickets. Then, there’s the job offer… Well, first, there was the fact that he tracked me down to NYC. It’s really complicated, okay? But so are my feelings for him. I’ve been ignoring them for so long that they became a wall I’m comfortable hiding behind.

Unfortunately, I’m not hers. Not only is she the daughter of the Rev’s coach who hates me, she’s also sworn off dating for the year.

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.

My whole life, I've come out on top. One of the finest players ever to grace the NHL? Check. Most prolific playboy with an enviable reputation between the sheets? Check. Award for the cockiest athlete in America? Also, check, and well deserved I'd say. So why does my life feel anything but the perfect image I project? And why won't the one woman who came crashing into my life and knocked me on my six-foot-four ass take me seriously?

Knox Holland is in a jam. After an incredible first year on the pro motocross circuit, he should be on top of the world. Instead, his bad reputation has landed him without a team. He's untouchable and desperate to turn it around. Which is how he ends up at my gym asking me to train him. As a college gymnast with two Olympic medals to my name, I know a thing or two about the pressure to succeed. Last season I choked and then injured myself before I could show the world that I'm not a twenty-year-old has-been.

If I had known how irrevocably my life was about to change, I would have walked the other way after talking to my coach. I should have taken any other route out of the Toronto Terror head office. But I didn’t and now–everything is different. At first I didn’t recognize the woman doing a victory dance down the hall when she thought no one was watching. Until she turned around. And that beautiful smile was aimed at me.

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.

Now… my boss is offering me the promotion of a lifetime, but it comes with strings… Fake date Briggs Conley!

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.

Falling for the broody bar owner who hates me because he wants the house? Even worse. I came to Carrington Cove for one reason: to renovate the home I knew nothing about, sell it, and get back to my life in D.C. and my multi-million dollar business. There was nothing on the agenda about falling for Dallas, the sexy former Marine who chastises me about my manners and withholds how to fend off the murderous geese on my property.

A little white lie never hurt anyone . . . or so I thought. One fake date and we’d go our separate ways, at least that’s how hockey’s hottest golden boy—Nixon Sinclair—convinced me this would work. But it turns out, Nix had other plans. Now I’m sneaking around with my brother’s teammate, refusing to admit he’s everything I want but never knew I needed.

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.
Another GOAL made for the Boston Rebels

I absolutely love a good Brother’s Best Friend romance& Colt & Jules’ story doesn’t disappoint.
I absolutely love how swoony Colt is, he is such a sweet and caring guy, he is there for Jules to help her work through so many struggles, he protects her, encourages her, & does everything he can to make sure she always feels safe & happy.
His absolute love & adoration for her is absolutely incredible.
This was full of passion, chemistry, love, banter & family.

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!

The way I just devoured this story is everything. Fake Shot is book 2 in the Boston Rebels series, and can be enjoyed as a stand-alone, although i loved book 1 and I would recommend listening so you too can fall in love with ALL of these characters, their sweet found family, and the friendships they all have. Following Jules and Mathieu Colter “Colt” who have know each other for 15 years. Colt is Jules’ big brother’s best friend and plays for the Boston Rebels and Jules an entrepreneur trying to make big moves in her industry and motivating women along the way. 6 years ago, Jules found herself lusting over Colt, but at the time the playboy hockey star only saw her as his best friends little sister and in that moment she swore off Colt and made some reckless decisions in response. Now present day, Jules is still holding on to the past traumas and not only now living with Colt, she is FAKE engaged to him. Ohh my heart the way this story went from angsty to motivational to striaght up swoony had me grinning from ear to ear. The way these two broke down walls and barriers that have been cemented in place for so many years was beautiful. Not only forming a special friendship but the trust and protection they earned from each other had me rooting for their HEA. Connor Crias and Stella Bloom were perfection. Stella brought the perfect tone to express the hesitation, the hurt and the pain Jules has been caring around. Jules was a strong independent women but she held onto a lot of inner struggles and Stella was able to truly make us feel those struggles. The moment Jules started to trust what was happening around her, her confidence radiated and Stella brought out our girls sexy, sassy, playful side as well as the loving, caring sister and friend she was. Connor Crais really gave us Colts personality from the very beginning, a fun loving guy who also struggled with past heart break yet was always there for the ones closet to him, Connor expressed the growth Colt was going through and it was so sweet to hear him come to realization to what he was looking for in life. Connor also brought every ounce of flirty teasing banter that made you understand how Jules couldn’t resist his charm leaving you to root for this former playboy and his best friend’s little sister.
Thank You @wordsmithpublicity and Julia Connors for the opportunity to listen and review.

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 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.

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!
This one is a NEED
