Fake.
Being
the heir to Jacobs Enterprises, I’ve been around fake people my entire life. I
promised myself a long time ago that I wouldn’t change for anyone. Which is the
only reason I’m a professional hockey player who lives on the beach and does as
he pleases without answering to anyone—except my father.
And
now, my daughter.
Being
a single dad wasn’t in the plan but after a one-night stand who took off after
the baby was born, this is my reality.
My
dad’s been harping on me to quit hockey and join the company for years and now
that I’m a father, he’s only intensified his efforts. Until he makes me a deal
I can’t refuse.
Insert
Lena Boyd, the Jacobs’ family PR rep. She’s beautiful and intelligent and not
at all the woman for me—ask anyone.
My
dad needs us to act happily engaged and sell the idea that we’re in love. If
we’re successful I won’t have to join the family legacy—ever. Of course, I
agree.
That’s
when things get complicated. I thought I had her all figured out until I found
out there was more underneath her judgmental sneers and eye rolls. It feels
like everything is coming together for the future I really want—with Lena—until
my past ruins everything.
Faking it With #41 is the third
addition to the Hockey Hotties series, and although a fake relationship trope
is generally not one of my favourites, I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet, sexy
and humorous read.
Ford is a sexy single father, professional
athlete, and heir to Jacobs Enterprises.
He has no desire to take on the family business, and does everything to
rebel and annoy his father, but behind the impulsive and cocky exterior is a
charming, devoted, and protective single father.
Lena is the PR Rep for the Jacobs
family. She’s an endearing, yet complex
character who is bold and strong, but also patient, dedicated, and big
hearted. She’s been let down one too
many times and it’s left her incredibly self-reliant and with issues when it comes
to relationships and trusting others.
The banter between this pair is fun,
flirty and antagonistic, but also quite humorous and is sure to leave you with
a smile upon your face.
The chemistry and heat between this
pair is undeniable, and I thoroughly enjoyed the cameos throughout of the previous
couples who found their happy ever after.
Overall, another enjoyable read from
the writing duo of Piper Rayne.
