About this listen

The best way to get back at my horrible ex? Fake date Rory Miller--my ex's rival, the top scorer in pro hockey, and the arrogant, flirtatious hockey player I tutored in high school.

Faking it is fun and addictive, though, and beneath the bad boy swagger, Rory’s sweet, funny, and protective.

He teaches me to skate and spends way too much money on me.

He sleeps in my bed and convinces me to break my just-one-time hookup rule.

He kisses me like it’s real.

And now I wonder if Rory was ever faking it to begin with.

The Fake Out is a pro hockey fake dating romance in duet audio (duet narration). It is the second book in the Vancouver Storm series but can be listened to as a standalone.

Tropes:

  • Fake dating
  • Ex’s rival
  • Pro hockey
  • Golden retriever hero
  • Boy obsessed
  • Forced proximity

Enjoyable

I quite enjoyed this book. The story and the underlying messages about family and believing in yourself were lovely. I found the female very difficult to listen to at the beginning. Her voice is very scratchy, and the way she over exerts in a stop start way is very difficult to follow. Thankfully later in the book when her character relaxes, her voice does too, making it more enjoyable and easier on the ears. 10/10 for the male voice, he was fantastic.

Hockey Romance ❤️

The male narrator is really good and believable whereas the female narrator is too breathy a lot of times. Overall I did enjoy the book at lot though.

Fun banter, steamy chemistry and the male narrator has the sexiest voice I’ve ever heard.

Love it

This is one of my favourite series ever, so naturally I bought them on audio for rereads. The female narrator is good, I didn’t love her voice at first but I think it really fits Hazel. I’m not a huge fan of the way she does other characters though. The male narrator is amazing, I love his voice.

Love ❤️ Love ❤️ Love

I really enjoyed listening to this book. A sweet love journey, while two people are also finding their way with their own traumas growing up.
Loss, love, and bring families back together.
Great job by all.
