Publisher's summary

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

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!

absolutely adorable and worth the credit

I loved this book. it was so cute, but also very spicy. great story. no 3rd act breakup. I wasn't sure about the female narrator but after a couple chapters I started really liking her. Conner Crais is perfect and I'm in love with him lol. they were perfect for these characters. I do wish there was more conflict with the ex, but otherwise i highly recommend.

“I’m keeping you, Rory Miller”

This is BY FAR the best book Stephanie has written (and all of her books are 5 star reads to me). The way she writes obsessed men is just incredible. Hazel is so relatable and funny, and the way Rory supports and encourages her was too sweet. And the audiobook?! Dear lord. Kitt Swan and Connor Crais in duet?! It was the best experience of my life. I love Hazel and Rory’s love SO much.

Literally perfect! 1,000,000/10

Literally perfect! The narration is amazing! The story is beautiful! The SPICE is HOT. I love how this story oozes body positivity and loving yourself and making yourself happy. I love how there is a hint of drama but not enough to make the story too crazy. Rory and Hazel are amazing together and omg I just love it all!

The perfect hockey romance

Not only is this book the perfect 5 star hockey romance read, the narration is AMAZING. Duet style narration, duel POV and both narrators did an amazing job! If you are a romance reader, this one is a must read!

The wide range of emotions the story envokes!

I like how the story flowed without a major third-act break-up. I like how she flushed out all the relationships in Rory's life.
