Publisher's Summary
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?
Contains mature themes.

Great narration for a great story!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 stars
🔥🔥🔥 Heat Level: 3.5
🎧🎧🎧🎧 Narration: 4.5
What a great opener to the series! I love Maddox and Damon!!
This was my first book of Eden’s and was surprised to learn she’s Australian too! I love discovering Australian talent! I loved the dynamics of Eden’s writing and the depth of her characters. I’m so glad I found Eden’s stories!!
Maddox endeared me to him from the start. I felt his awkwardness, anxiety, confusion and commitment phobia. He seemed like a (somewhat confused) free spirit from he start and I enjoyed ‘watching’ him evolve throughout this book and discover who he is and who he could become. Maddox had a server phobia of commitment and being ‘stuck’ or ‘trapped’, I felt Eden did a wonderful job in allowing Maddox to find his perfect person in Damon, that changed his fear, phobias and ultimately himself.
Damon seemed a bit uptight in the beginning of this book but eventually he comes out of his shell and is loveable, bold and confident in who he is. He journey to finding Maddox is an interesting one and I love his sister Stacy and her ongoing pranks (which occasionally backfire) and her crazy dynamic with Maddox.
I felt like this was a well rounded book and loved the main and secondary characters. With some wit, drama and a prank gone wrong this book is a great example of the fake boyfriend trope and has made me a forever fan of Eden Finley!!
🎧🎧🎧🎧 Narration: 4.5 headphones; Review:
I found the Narration by Alexander Cendese (Maddox) and Iggy Toma (Damon) for Fake Out really good. I loved the characters and how Alexander brought Maddox to life with wit, humour and sass and how Iggy played Damon’s seriousness, pain and love so well I could feel these guys falling for each other. The sex is also hot, hot, hot 🔥🔥🔥!
All in all, great narration for a great story!!!
Thanks for reading 📚!

Narration was painful.
Characters were fantastic, writing was excellent, story was brilliant, secondary characters were funny but the narration... sigh. Iggy Toma was great! Alexander Cendese, not so much. He rushed his sections and all of the lines ran together.

Truly Enjoyable.
I really enjoyed listening to this story. I ended up sitting up all night to hear it all in one sitting. It had a very enjoyable storyline, lots of snark and humour and very likeable main and supporting characters. The narrators also did a great job. I’m looking forward to future stories in the series.

Fun, engaging and educational
This LGBTQIA+ romance is delightfully respectful and educational, the connection between Maddox and Damien and how they are there for each other is heart warming. Listened in a single day.

Loved it. One of those books you can’t put down!
I love a book that can make you laugh with the characters sense of humour. Got me giggling a few times! Well written, I always felt like I was in the room with them. I’m moving on to the next in the series straight away. AAA+

A Fantastic First Book in an Amazing Series
1st read - book only - loved it!!!
2nd read - read & listen via Whispersync - loved it so hard!!!
Alexander Cendese and Iggy Toma do an amazing job at bringing these characters and the story to life. These narrators play off each other so well it makes it extremely easy to listen to them.
Read, listen, or like me do both. Any way you do it, this is a fun book that will also give you the feels and LOTS of heat ! :)

Am loving this series
I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series when I read it and now having listened to the audio version I’m even more in love with it. I especially love the internal dialogue that occasionally pops up usually giving me a good laugh. Am looking forward to seeing this Series unfold. Great job Eden!!
