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

Lots of over analyzing. MFC repeats phrases and thoughts too often in her self dialogue. Cute banter & personalities. Overall enjoyable. Connor Crais was an excellent choice for Rory!

Good, but too long

Yes it’s a cliche hockey fake dating romance but it was written so perfectly!!! Such a fun smutty read!! The FMC was not annoying and exhausting as usual and the MMC was EVERYTHING!!!

Love her stories

so far I do like the series. but the female narrator sounds like she's crying even when she's just talking. the whine in her voice makes her sound like she's in her 60's or 70's with emphysema. it's jarring and makes the story hard to enjoy. the male narrator in this one is awesome. nice deep attractive voice. unlike the guy in the first book. LOL

I'm not usually a romcom romance reader, but I was looking for something different, so glad I found this book. PROS: Very funny, found myself smiling and laughing frequently. Spice was perfect, incredibly hot and frequent but not in a way that's too much and cringey. Good main storyline between the two main characters, can't get enough of the MMC adoring and flirting at grumpy FMC. Tiny CONS--The constant mention of certain issues, we get it we get it, don't need to drag story down by repeating it so much. I wish the FMC narrator would speak in a normal tone more often, the constant breathy uring tone is too much, MMC narrator was absolutely perfect tho. Only small complaints, book was nearly perfect, loved it.

Humorous and Hot

Rory Miller just made it to my top MMC. WOW he was a vibe and energy. I couldn’t get enough of them. Such a good and easy read. Great tension and chemistry. There was good banter and pacing. So glad I continued the series!!

Well well well

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.
