Romance at a Glance Reviews Fake out by Eden Finley

Trope season continues in Fake Dating. This book revolved around Maddox and Damon who start fake dating because Maddox told his hometown HS girlfriend he was gay, rather than just telling her he wanted to break up. Fast forward, and he needs a fake boyfriend to attend her wedding. Damon does it to get a connection for his career, but it confused when the straight guy is kissing him.

Shani and Bridget had a very polarizing reaction to this book, due in large part to Shani's deep deep dislike of the audio narration.

Book Title: Fake out

Author: Eden Finley

Narrator/ Available in audio: Alexander Cendese, Iggy Toma

Part of a Series: standalone

Genre: Fake dating

Synopsis:

Maddox

The reason I rarely go home is three simple words: I’m a liar.

When the pressure to marry my childhood sweetheart became too much, I told her I was gay and then fled to New York like my ass was on fire.

Now, five years later and after a drunken encounter, I find myself invited to her wedding. And I have to bring my boyfriend—the boyfriend who doesn’t exist because I’m straight.

At least, I think I am. Meeting the guy I’m bribing to be my boyfriend for the weekend makes me question everything about myself.


DAMON

When my sister asks me to pretend to be some straight guy’s boyfriend, my automatic response is to say no. It’s because of guys like him people don’t believe me when I tell them I’m gay.

But Maddox has something I need.

After an injury that cost me my baseball career, I’m trying to leave my playing days behind and focus on being the best sports agent I can be. Forty-eight hours with my sister’s best friend in exchange for a meeting with a possible client. I can do this.

I just wish he wasn’t so hot. Or that he didn’t kiss like he means it.

Wait … why is the straight guy kissing me?
