About this listen
Falling for your straight best friend while he pretends to be your boyfriend is something not even Samuel would be foolish enough to do.
And yet...
All Samuel wanted was to not show up to his ex's wedding alone, but his friend Will has a better idea: go as fake boyfriends to make him jealous.
What could possibly go wrong?
Well, for starters, Samuel’s ex knows Will isn’t gay. Of course, Will has a solution for that too.
They’ll just have to convince him. By whatever means necessary.
As the big day approaches—and he and Will keep practicing how to pull off their charade—Samuel’s not sure he’ll make it through the wedding festivities without losing some of his dignity.
And maybe his best friend.
Faker is the final installment in the Forever Family Trilogy but can be enjoyed on its own. It features a 30-something former marine who maybe likes pretending more than he should, a 20-something social worker trying his hardest not to forget none of it’s real, practice dates with more PDA than sense, and the use of praise in very creative ways.

Being rescued by a hot lumberjack after catching his fiancé cheating was the only good thing to happen to Beau for quite some time. Getting stuck in the man’s cabin for the weekend? There were definitely worse ways to pass a few days. Falling for him when the guy made it clear he didn’t do relationships? Well, Beau just wouldn’t do that...probably.

Story
Xander Corey lives simply, sustainably, on the outskirts of Osprey, a small, quaint town in Upstate New York. He’s a librarian when the town’s budget can afford him, a good friend, kind neighbor, and also, a witch. And while that’s of no concern to anyone around him, there are others, non-humans, who have a vested interest in Xander’s family land. Xander knows something dark and dangerous is brewing. He’s just not quite sure what.

Story
Art evaluator Miles Tate is finally about to start living his dream . . . that is if he can get the funding in place to open his own art gallery in New York. But when an unexpected turn of events finds every one of Miles's perfectly-planned dreams turned upside-down, it's time to escape Manhattan and reluctantly take up a well-paid job in the tiny seaside town of Hope's Bluff, Georgia. For Miles, it's his only chance to make some money, claw back what little dignity he has left, and figure out what the hell to do with his life.

This is what Brad gets for finally "sinking his teeth into a book," like his nerdy brother is always hounding him to. He definitely wasn't expecting the book to sink its teeth into him. With the newfound knowledge that he can get pregnant as an omega, Brad's urgency to get back to his world of touchdowns and keg stands is intensifying by the minute. Unfortunately, so is his attraction to Raul, the possessive alpha shifter who broods mysteriously and smells like sandalwood and something uniquely masculine.

Devlin “Dev” Espinosa lives in the shadows of the criminal underworld. As a Ferryman, his job is to safely transport “the dead” to their new lives, no questions asked. With no one to answer to, lots of cash, and access to The Anonymous–an exclusive club for the elite–Dev is loving life. Until Remy Corbin gets into his car. Remy is just a regular guy working a regular bartending job. At least, that’s what he thought before walking in on his boss taking someone out. Witnessing the assassination paints a target on Remy’s back, and when the bullets fly, he jumps into a stranger’s car.

With a bit of practice, their pretending becomes a little too real and they quickly realise that they are meant for each other.
This is a very short listen but Liam does this story justice. With great vocalisation of the characters, we get to see them get their HEA and a peak into their future.

This was a wonderful friend to lovers, fake relationship story that I so enjoyed listening to.
This story has everything I love — friends to lovers, first times, only one bed, and protective main characters and I gobbled it up. Samuel and Will are perfect together, and I loved their story.
Enjoyed!

Throughout this series, I was intrigued with Will and Sam both. They were kind of on the fringes of the friend group as Will only moves to town at the end of Favor (book 1) and Sam is much younger than others, having been Declan's foster son (he's 6 years younger than Jeremy, Dec's husband).
Will buys Jeremy's house and invites Sam to live with him. Sam jumps on the chance to move out of his mom's house in exchange for a low rent so he can get some independence and still pay on his student loans. What he fails to consider is just how hard it will be for him to be so close with the object of his crush, the (supposedly) very straight Will.
Will loves having Sam around and they become best friends. When he finds out that Sam's awful ex has invited him to his wedding, Will's protective instincts go into overdrive. He comes up with a plan to pose as Sam's boyfriend at the destination wedding.
Between practice dates and practice cuddles, Sam realizes that he can't handle pretending with Will when he longs for the real thing with his best friend. Just as Sam starts to pull away, WIll realizes that maybe he isn't so straight after all, at least not where Sam is concerned.
Like the other books in the series, the MCs stumble over miscommunications and misunderstandings on their way to their HEA, but it's so sweet and worth the journey when they get there. The steam doesn't hit until near the end of this short story, but when it does... yowza. Sam is inexperienced and Will is only too happy to teach him all the pleasures they can give each other. I adored both Will's protectiveness and earnestness with Sam and Sam's innocence and sweet nature. These guys adored each other and only wanted the best for one another, even if that meant putting their own desires on hold. Lucky for them, it turns out they ultimately want the same thing.
I think this is the end of the series and I'm sad to say goodbye to these guys, but I'll definitely visit for re-listens. As always, I love Liam DiCosimo as a narrator and Kiki's writing never disappoints!

Perfect

Ok in reality I’m going to complain a little about both those things because I already did. But I’m not going to complain MUCH about them. What I am going to mention is that the m/m romance genre suffers greatly, and this book has a PARTICULARLY bad case of it, from being written both by and for women, and as a result can be described as anywhere from unrealistic to borderline homophobic.
Samuel, in this book, basically IS a woman. You could replace him with a female character and, with surprisingly few edits such as removing Will questioning his sexuality, you’d have the same book. In fact, in all the gay relationships in the book, and I’m assuming these are from the other books in the series, there seems to be one “man” archetype and one “woman” archetype, and I just have to wonder, does this author actually know any male couples? Because our relationships don’t actually work like that, and I thought we’d left the question “so which one of you is the ‘woman’” somewhere in the past.
What’s worse, it seems like in every relationship in this book, the gay character is the “woman” and the bisexual character is the “man.” This is also something completely divorced from reality, and quite honestly pretty insulting. Actually I’m not sure where female authors got the idea that most male couples must consist of one gay man and one bisexual, because that’s not really all that common a situation in reality.
But whatever, I guess that’s what you get when you read “bi-awakening” novels, which used to be called “gay for you” and were perfectly fine pieces of romance novel fluff until someone somewhere got the idea that they needed to legitimize them somehow and now every one of them has a scene where the straight guy has to ruminate on how fluid sexuality actually is, eyeroll.
Anyway sorry, I’m becoming super jaded as a gay man reading gay fiction written for women, so who knows, maybe most people who buy this WANT a very obvious female self-insert and they’ll actually love this book. It’s certainly perfectly competently written and the actual plot is well-crafted even if it is just tropes. So go for it, if that’s what you’re into. But please keep in mind that in real life, gay men are actually also men, and we don’t typically sit around depending on our bisexual partners to protect us from the big bad world and tell us that it isn’t ok that our ex was sexually pushy. I don’t even OWN a fainting couch, believe it or not.
Liam DiCosimo is a good narrator even though his “older man” voices are a bit awkward. I don’t know, this book isn’t any worse than most m/m romance novels, really, I’m just getting so sick of the whole thing.
