About this listen
I’ve made a lot of dumb mistakes but none dumber than losing her.
Senior year. I should be partying and living it up with my friends before graduation, but one more mistake and I’m off the team.
Enter Chloe. She comes into my life at a low point, but she becomes the bright spot I reach for every day. She’s the kind of girl who makes a guy want to be a better man. And for a while, I even start to believe I’ve changed enough to deserve her.
I’ve got my eye on the future, and I’m letting my past stay where it belongs.
But the thing about the past...it always comes back to bite you when you least expect it.

Story
Secretly hooking up with the team captain's sister was a bad idea. In my defense, the first time I saw her I didn't know who she was. Kind, gorgeous, a little naïve. Ginny brightened my world from day one. I knew I was no good for her. She was just out of a relationship, and I had a reputation for having a new girl in my bed every weekend. I tried to do the right thing. Honest. I'm the one who insisted we should be just friends. That lasted about as long as you'd expect. But Ginny? She's the best - best friend, best everything.

I met my dream girl. That’s right. She’s stunning and the worst bartender I’ve ever seen. I should have gone home and gone to sleep—dream girl or not. I had an early morning and the season was starting soon. But when she threatened me with boy band karaoke, I couldn't help myself. I went. The stars aligned. I have never felt more alive or wanted anyone more than I want her.

Lincoln Reeves may be a pro golfer and revered swing coach, but when I met him, he was just one more person telling me I wasn’t good enough. So, I did what any girl in my position would do. I told him to get lost and take his arrogant, annoying smirk with him. I never expected to see him again. I certainly didn’t expect to run into him that same night after one too many tequila shots.

Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin. Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality. It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble. Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

The first time I met Winter Marks, I almost took her out with my Jeep. To be fair, she came out of nowhere. I flirted with her, and she flipped me off and disappeared into the woods on her bike. But she left me a souvenir: a single hockey skate. Seemed to me that divine intervention shouldn’t be ignored. She was my icy Cinderella, and I would be her Prince Not-So-Charming. Winter was more than just a sassy, badass hockey-playing hottie. She’s stuck in a prison of a life. And I’m the perfect escape. Neither of us expected to fall. Or for the truth to shatter us.

As the days pass, I begin to realize how much my life is missing. Companionship. Romance. Intimacy. When I discover my heart has space for one more female, it’s a lost cause, another curveball. The hot-as-hell nanny is leaving soon for a mission trip to Central America. No sense in letting myself fantasize about Jessa being a permanent part of my life. The closer we get, the more difficult it becomes to keep my feelings in check, because my heart won’t listen. And neither will my libido.

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down. She said no feelings, and she meant it. Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship. College was her escape, including us. I didn't have time for a girlfriend. I had classes, the team, my family, and the game. It was all working too.... Until somewhere down the line, things got messy. Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more. Until I began to want her in ways that weren't part of the deal. Our agreement didn't just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

Now, I understand it’s not a crime for a mother to want her child to fall in love, but when she makes it her relentless mission, the heinous act should be classified as a misdemeanor at least. Of course, my mom, the evil matriarch in the devil’s leggings, made her final stab at finding a girl for me days before I went back to college.

I saw her first. Blonde. Gorgeous. Feisty. I was smitten. But it didn’t matter because she chose him, and he was my best friend and roommate. I’d never be able to compete with that, so I pushed her away instead. It was easy when she lived hours away, and I didn’t have to see her every day, but then she moved in with us. Now, I’m screwed. From her singing in the shower every morning, dancing in the kitchen while she makes coffee, and doing yoga in our living room, I can’t stop thinking about her in all the wrong ways.

With sun-kissed skin and soulful bedroom eyes, she was pure temptation, and I was mesmerized. As one drink led to two, I craved more of her playful banter and taunting lips. Resisting her wasn't an option, and we quickly became a desperate mess of tangled limbs and hot kisses. She tasted like the sweetest sin, but I was no saint.

Story
As the Dating Guy on L.A.'s top morning show, I give the single guy's perspective on dating, love, and sex - and I give great advice. Everyone's hooking up...well, except for me. Sure, I can get any woman I want, but I've got a no-relationship clause in my contract, and the only woman I want has relationship written all over her. Unfortunately, she wants nothing to do with me. At all. Something about the next Ice Age might have even come up in her rebuttal. Adorable.

It's been 10 years since we've seen each other, and the feelings are still as strong. I'm not going to bore you with all the details of how our love was once intoxicating, consuming, and perfect. Because it was...until it wasn't. I've been fine without him. I haven't missed his cruelty, his coldness, and his spite. And after the ugliest breakup in the history of breakups, I forced myself to move on.

Second Chances and happily ever after's
Alright, confession time. I have never listened to an audiobook of a book I haven’t already read. I hadn’t read The Fake before so I was a little nervous about going into an audiobook blind. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. It was a little hard for me to follow at first but once we got into the story, I was all in.
Nathan, oh sweet Nathan. I just adored him, there was so much more to him than meets the eye. Jason Clarke crushed it, he was such a great Nathan and at times even had me swooning. There’s just something about hearing a hunky guy profess his love to his girl that gives me goosebumps. Nathan was going through a lot when he meets Chloe, but meeting her helped clear the fog and see what he really wanted. Jason was fantastic and perfectly believable.
Ava Erickson killed it as Chloe, she was fantastic. Chloe had a lot to prove when she showed up at Valley and a boyfriend was very low on her radar. Well, until she meets Nathan and realizes he may be able to help her gain approval of her teammates. Their little arrangement started as mutually beneficial, a transaction but the more time they spent together the harder their chemistry was to deny. Ava did a great job as Chloe and I really enjoyed her.
Overall, I really enjoyed this story and Jason and Ava’s telling of it, it was captivating. I can’t wait to listen to more of Rebecca Jenshak’s stories through Audible. I don’t know if any of her other guys will be able to top Nathan though, he’s a romantic at heart which just makes me melt.

Best of the series
I loved this book. Nathan was by far my favorite of the guys and I loved Chloe too. I read and listened to this book that's how much I loved it. I couldn't wait for it to come out on Audible. I was slightly disappointed that Jason Clarke did Nathan. His voice just wasn't what I was picturing Nathan to sound like. Ava Erickson was prefect for Chloe though. Can't wait to see what Rebecca does next.

Sorry to see this series come to a close :(
I'm sad to see this series come to a close, but The Fake does provide us with a satisfying ending. Chloe situation is practically ripped from the headlines, and I love how Rebecca Jenshak gave an alternate perspective to what is portrayed in reality in this regard. I've wanted Nate's story since he was introduced, but I especially wanted to see him get a HEA after he suffered a bit of heartbreak and rejection in The Tip-Off. His backstory and the responsibility he took on made him a very sympathetic hero and I think one of my favorite aspects of the book was that when ish hit the fan, it didn't take an inordinate amount of time for the dust to settle - because I don't think I would've enjoyed reading about Nate being in any kind of emotional turmoil for any longer than necessary. I also really loved the fake relationship trope utilized here. I think I can officially say that Rebecca Jenshak is a must read author for me and I can't wait to read whatever she comes out with next! 4 out of 5 wine glasses.

Sweet college sports romance
Jason Clarke and Ava Erickson did phenomenal with this book. I absolutely love this book and they bring it to life in the best way. Nathan and Chloe have chemistry Chloe wants to deny and keeps Nathan playing whatever role Chloe will let him to stay close even if it’s a fake boyfriend. I did everything I could to continue listening because I was so eager to hear what would happen next. This is such a sweet story about a girl who is just trying to fit in with her beach volleyball team and end college on a high note after a devastating ending to her junior year of colleges and a boy who is struggling to help keep his family afloat at home but keeps it under wraps even away from his best friends. Together they have a beautiful story filled with normal college athlete life and everything else that comes with being in their senior year of college.

Nathan and Chloe are the sweetest!
Jason Clarke and Ava Erickson are two of my top favorite narrators and they knocked THE FAKE out of the park. Ava has such a melodic, young voice and performs her characters so well, she's perfection for New Adult romance. And we all know that Jason's sexy, deep voice is pretty awesome.
With that out of the way let me get to the heart of this story. Chloe and Nathan were adorable. Nathan had some growth to do over the course of the story an he did it beautifully. With his little brother being in school and his mother without a job he is the main provider for his family and always struggling to make enough money to make ends meet. Enter rich girl Chloe.
Chloe never lacked for money but her issues aren't material. After being kicked out of school she's transferred to Valley and that's not how she imagined her senior year. While her parents mean well, buying their daughter's way into college isn't what endears you to your fellow students and Volleyball teammates. That stain doesn't go away so she's having a hard time connecting to people at Valley. I loved Chloe's resilience, her strength and willingness to forgive, not just Nathan but her teammates too.
Before Nathan met Chloe he was used to taking the path of least resistance. Fighting for Chloe changed all that. I simply adored how Nathan treated her. He was head over heels in love with this girl and showed her with everything he did how much he cherished her.
If you love a good, low-drama fake relationship trope in your sports romance don't hesitate to grab this one. It's sexy, flirty and wonderfully sweet with absolutely endearing characters.

A great sports romance
The Fake is the fourth book in Rebecca Jenshak's 'Smart Jocks' sports romance. I love new adult and I love sports romance, so this series has been a real win for me.
Nate is one of the guys on the team with Wes, Joel, and Zeke. We don't know much about him, but in the last book, I feel like we got a bit of insight. He's Gabby's best friend and has something in his past that haunts him. Nate has responsibilities and a past, but he's a really fun-loving guy.
Chloe is a new character to the series and is an athlete herself. After a scandal at her last school, she's transferred to Valley her senior year to play volleyball. Her teammates/roommates don't respond to her well... until she has a night with Nate. She panics and tells the girls he's her boyfriend, and there the fake dating begins.
I love the fake dating troupe. Nate and Chloe have a lot of chemistry. They go from having a one night stand, to becoming friends who are fake dating, to falling in love. It was a really sweet progression. I listened to the audio book which was narrated by the dream team of Jason Clarke and Ava Erickson who did an amazing job voicing Nate and Chloe. I've listened to this entire series on audio, and I can't recommend the audio books enough.
This series has been so enjoyable to listen to. Though it looks like this book is the final book, I hope Jenshak decides to write more sports romances in this world.

A great way to wrap up the series!
I loved reading the book, but listening to Nathan Payne and Chloe Macpherson's story was a whole 'nother experience, and one that I adored in equal measure. The Fake is the fourth and final audiobook in Rebecca Jenshak's Smart Jocks series, and I've been super curious as to who would be the narrators for this one but was thrilled when I learned it would be Jason Clarke and Ava Erickson. These two were the absolute best choices to give voice to Nathan and Chloe, and made this bittersweet end (as is the case when I'm as addicted as I am to such a fun and fabulous collection of stories) to this series far sweeter than bitter!
Twenty-one-year-olds Nathan Payne and Chloe Macpherson are both seniors and athletes at Valley U, with Nathan being a step away from being removed from his basketball team should he have another misstep and Chloe being the outsider on her new volleyball team as a transferee. Nathan and Chloe form a connection when they meet, with one empathizing with what the other is going through and vice-versa. A fake relationship could turn out to be mutually beneficial for both of them, especially considering they need to work on their public images. But what happens when what's supposed to be fake starts to feel real?
I absolutely loved Nathan and Chloe, and it wasn't difficult to feel for these two and what they were going through as individuals. They had that much needed chemistry that couples are required to have when it comes to romances, and Rebecca Jenshak couldn't have closed out her Smart Jocks any better than with this audiobook. The fact that Jason Clarke and Ava Erickson were impressive with their performances was like the cherry atop an already scrumptious sundae. The Fake had angst, humor, romance and all the good bits in between. This audiobook was a great way to spend the weekend. Five stars! ♥

Great real story
Wow...this audiobook was more than I expected. Rebecca Jenshak wrote a book that was real and right with the times.
Chloe had it all until she didn't. She's had to leave her whole world behind because of a scandal her parents created. Chloe is just trying her best to fit in any way she can. Then she meets Nate. Nate is nice but most of all, he doesn't know her past.
I love the man Nate is. He's trying to keep his family afloat while maintaining his collegiate career. I love how hard he fights to love Chloe, even when she feels she's not worth it. I love how great these two are together.
I love this story in general. The narrators did an amazing job. I do feel the male narrator sounded a little older than 21, but it was good. All in all, a great story to listen too.
