Summary

He's a successful billionaire with a secret. She's a skilled artist and will stop at nothing to save her father from dying in prison.

Caught between the mob and his conscience, he vows to break the grip they have on his family. He is desperate to find a painter to perfectly reproduce a priceless piece. But nothing is picture-perfect. 

The mob is watching their every move. 

Can he trust her? Can she trust him?

To convince the mafia that their relationship is real, they sign the paperwork and get married. For days, she paints, and he watches her create the perfect fake...until something changes between them. Now, he’s driven to protect her from the mob’s deadly grip.

Can they pull off conning the mafia? Is everything about their arrangement just fake, or is there something more?

The Perfect Fake is a romantic suspense with a guaranteed HEA. It is meant for mature audiences only. Listen to it now!

Trigger warning: This full-length novel has scenes that depict violence and death. Each book in the series can be listened to as a stand-alone, but for the best listening experience, they should be listened to in order.

Quite good

This romantic suspense novel was quite good. The storyline was quite exciting and I enjoyed all the suspense.
However, I didn't find the plan of making forgeries of stolen art to be that well thought out past the first transaction. There were plenty of holes in the plan and after the first exchange was made the story came abruptly came to an end without wrapping things up. I can only assume that any nagging questions I have will be addressed in the next book.
The narration was quite good except for when performing the female voice. It needs a lot of work. Another irritant was that every time a character had an inner thought, the sound went low and tinny.

The perfect title for this story

The Perfect Fake really sums up this story well. Harmen wants out of the mafia family to do his own thing. But the only way out would be diving deeper into the mafia ways. He makes a deal with Annelise, who will do anything to get her father out of jail. But when they get married for show, they work closely together, creating more than just a business deal. This book has it all, steam, suspense, twists and thrills. I loved every word. I could not put it down because I needed to know more. Just when I thought it would be a good point, another twist occurred and I needed more answers. This is one mafia book not to miss.

JaCee Voice was amazing at the narration. This is my introduction to JaCee and I hope to hear more! JaCee has an easy to listen to voice. He keeps the characters easily distinguishable. I loved the sound effects and the voice altering for innner thoughts. It made the book easier to follow.

Fantastic!

The Perfect Fake is cleverly written, brilliantly descriptive and a gem. The storyline is exciting, thrilling and highly engaging with no needless drama. Arabella Steedly has woven a fantastic tale of underground illegal art dealing, wrapped in danger, deceit, uncertainty, and passion.

Both the plot and the characters are wonderfully developed. The two main characters, Harlan and Annaliese, are compelling, fascinating, and intriguing. Circumstances pave the way for the two to wind up together and develop feelings for each other. Their connection is charged and one of mutual desire and passion, founded on honesty and respect. I adore them together, they are fiercely loyal to one another and have no silly miscommunications.

The narration by JaCee Voice is superb. I was wholly impressed by his ability to produce a broad range of tones. Despite the various characters, they were all distinguishable. The author and narrator make an excellent team. I can't wait to hear the rest of the series!
