About this listen

The best way to get back at my horrible ex? Fake date Rory Miller--my ex's rival, the top scorer in pro hockey, and the arrogant, flirtatious hockey player I tutored in high school.

Faking it is fun and addictive, though, and beneath the bad boy swagger, Rory’s sweet, funny, and protective.

He teaches me to skate and spends way too much money on me.

He sleeps in my bed and convinces me to break my just-one-time hookup rule.

He kisses me like it’s real.

And now I wonder if Rory was ever faking it to begin with.

The Fake Out is a pro hockey fake dating romance in duet audio (duet narration). It is the second book in the Vancouver Storm series but can be listened to as a standalone.

Tropes:

  • Fake dating
  • Ex’s rival
  • Pro hockey
  • Golden retriever hero
  • Boy obsessed
  • Forced proximity

Audio Review - Connor & Kit

The book is amazing I love these two characters. The banter and dialogue was very entertaining. I’m not someone who laughs easily and this book surprised me.

Connor Crais is a perfect Rory, or at least how I imagined him. His deep voice was breathtaking.

Kit Swann is a new narrator for me. Her voice is very mature, and initially a bit shakey (in my opinion). Her voice comes from her nose a bit and I really struggled with that. The voice didn’t match Hazel for me, as she sounded older. Initially I skipped all her audio chapters and read them while only playing Rory’s. Halfway through the audio book I gave it another listen and either she gains a bit more voice control or my ear attuned to her but it was good after that.

Overall Kit is a very good narrator and I look forward to hearing how she is paired with future characters.

One of my favorites!

I truly love rhis book! Even though its hard to pick a favorite book of Stephanie's this is probably it. I wasnt as big of a fan of the female narrator, she didnt fit the voice of Hazel in my head, but the male knocked it out of the park. Rory and Hazel are such a great couple. I love the fake dating trope and this is one of my go to recs for the trope. Rory is just such a great character and I love all the secondary characters too!

Narration was bad

Audiobooks are my every day thing some people listen to music every day but I listen to books…the female narrator was a huge turn off the entire book she sounded like she was going to cry…the voice she used for other female characters was better than the one for her as the lead. Honestly almost gave up listening because of how much of an ick her voice was but I really enjoyed story. If you are going to get this book definitely listen to the sample before investing.

Great Story 🥰

A little bit of a slow start to me, but by the end, I was fully invested. Connor & Kit, phenomenal duet narration. Smooth writing transitions. Storyline was intriguing. I love duet narration, but Connor did this audiobook complete Justice 😍 - he truly gives a good performance!

Great book, annoying female narrator

The female narrators voice fluctuates up and down. All I can think is that there is something wrong with her vocal cords and it's driving me crazy.

Love This Story

The story is so fun and cute, it’s worth reading. The guy narrator is fantastic. That being said, the girl narrator made me want to quit listening and just read it instead. Her voice is both watery and whiney and it really degraded the quality of my experience. I hope she picks a different female narrator for her next book.
