Publisher's Summary

WANTED: Three fake boyfriends. Must be tall, handsome—and willing to teach me how to kiss.

My name is Layla Thompson, and I am undateable.

Seriously. I'm 28 and I've never had a boyfriend. And with my 30s rapidly approaching, I'm starting to lose patience.

Lucky for me, I have three best friends who are eager to help hone my dating skills. Zack, the rugged ex-rugby player. Josh, the sweet boy-next-door. And Luke, the silver-haired divorcee...who just so happens to be my old professor.

After a bad date leaves me crying on their shoulders, the three men are determined to help me find a guy. Together, they agree to be my "practice boyfriends" and come up with a lesson plan packed with fake dates, make out sessions, and classes on flirty texting. In return, I just have to make an appearance on their relationship advice podcast once a week. Easy.

But as my lessons become more and more intense, we soon find ourselves getting in too deep. Every "fake" touch lingers a little too long, and every "practice" kiss ends in fireworks. It's not long before I realize that their friendship isn't enough for me anymore. I want more.

The guys have been teaching me how to get a boyfriend, and now it's time I put their lessons to the test. Three times over.

Faking with Benefits is a sizzling fake dating romance featuring multiple love interests, tons of molten fake relationship heat, and a whole lot of heart. Dual narrated by Faye Adele, Shane East, Will Watt, and John York, with select excerpts performed in duet. HEA guaranteed!

Mixed Dual/Duet gave me whiplash

Possible very minor spoiler:
The narration during the podcast is dual.....but then everything else was duet and with so many characters I found it so hard to follow who was what. I would have much preferred the entire thing was just dual narration so I at least knew who was speaking.

Storyline was cute - very spicy (3.5-4 chilli peppers) which is fun, it includes second-act breakup which brings the whole value of the plot down for myself personally.

Didn’t love it

Honestly, this was an awkward read with an ending that kind of made me mad. The accent for Zach was not enjoyable to listen to.

I loved all her other books but this one just wasn’t for me. I can’t deal with second hand embarrassment which is why I had DNFed this before. I picked it back up because this was on sale and I saw loads of people say this was their favourite Lily Gold book. It was really uncomfortable at a lot of points. And the ending was incredibly disappointing.

Cringe. I love spice but this was terrible. Fast forwarded so much.

This book was almost a joke. I won’t be specific but 2 of the 4 narrators were awful. Like awful to listen to. The storyline was way too long and repetitive. I lovvvve a good spicy listen / read but this was cringe worthy and attempted to have “depth” but failed epically. The ending was laughable. What a waste of ten hours and a credit.

Absolutely smut

If you wish to listen to total porn, threesomes/foursomes and erotica then go for it. Me sorry I tried hopping a proper story line would come through but gave up with 10hrs worth to go. Absolutely a waste of a credit! Shame there’s not a warning on it.
