Faking It by K. Bromberg

Faking It

by K. Bromberg

Faking it never felt so good in this red-hot new standalone by New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg—available in audio first!

Zane Phillips mistook me for his dog walker. It shouldn’t surprise me that the man with a suit more expensive than my rent would assume that I was there to serve him. The positive? I put him in his place. The negative? I missed my job interview because of it.

Now I find out he’s a rich Australian entrepreneur, and he wants to make up for tanking my interview. Yes, he’s impossibly hot – but he’s also an arrogant jackass—so . . . no thanks.

But after a little white lie I tell spirals out of control, I’m somehow offered the chance to play Zane’s girlfriend to help promote his new dating website – and the best part? He can’t say no because he’ll get caught in his lie too.

Little did I know this would entail sharing a tour bus with him for the next few months. The fact that the bus has just one bed isn’t the most ideal of circumstances, but this spokesperson gig might be the kick in the pants my career needs, so why not take a chance?

Famous last words.

Now I’m crisscrossing the country–and sharing that bed—with the one guy I can’t stand. And even worse, my traitorous body is wondering at every turn what it’s like to be down under the gorgeous Australian. But as the miles unfurl, so does our passion…and if I’m not careful, I might end up believing that fairytales really do come true.

Faking It for the fairy-tale ending…

I know all about faking it. Not, Faking It but faking it…in the acting out my interest in social interactions when I’m really wanting to listen to my audiobook instead. I was a good girl, though, and managed to hold plenty of meaningful conversations (I think) but I was distracted knowing I had unfinished books sitting and waiting for me. See, I’m on holidays and sitting beside a beautiful river with a bunch of friends and reading/listening got put on the backburner. I knew my books would wait, but it’s hard when you want to be in two places at once. Reading … or … socialising … reading … or … socialising? My friends know me well, and today was a dedicated leave Stacey alone, she’s reading, day. YaY!!!

I really enjoyed listening to Faking It. The storyline was interesting, the characters were interesting and lovable and the narrators do a fabulous job. I had the BIGGEST, goofiest smile on my face when the hero of the story shares that he was born in Brisbane, Australia. It’s my hometown. I was already loving that the male narrator was an Aussie but felt that little bit more of a connection to the character knowing he was a fellow Brisbanite.

It always cracks me up that blokes think they can keep their heart out of sexual relationships. This one was even funnier because he was attracted, liked and cared for her as well. And, he was spending every hour of the day in her company. And, he was having to display an intimate connection to her in front of an audience. HA HA HA!! He was doomed from the start. Honestly, even if you took out half of those things he was going to be doomed. After all, Harlow was a pretty awesome character. With model looks, a sassy attitude and a strong personality, they make Harlow very appealing, leaving successful, rich and handsome Zane no chance to deny his heart.

I am loving listening to my stories and feel like the Audible Originals/Romance Package has opened up more opportunities for me to listen to my favourite authors. With such a variety of stories and talented narrators, I’m finding it harder to hit pause to get back to my reading reads.

If you’re looking for an entertaining listen with a hot Aussie hero and a sassy heroine, look no further than Faking It. I definitely recommend.
