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

🍇Connor Crais’s voice was amazing 🫠🥰 This was my first book narrated by him and he killed it and really brought the character to life ❤️
🍆Kit Swann’s narration wasn’t for me tho. Her voice was terrible for Pippa and Darcy - Way too high pitched and obnoxious 😬 Made me disconnect from Hazel,

A cute hockey romance with your stereotypical heroine who hates hockey players and judges them without knowing them and your flirty, confident hockey captain who is actual protective and gentle. It was a fun time!

I really liked Rory and Hazel together, they were sweet and clearly liked each other and wanted to make the other happy 🥰 These two are stronger together. They can tackle their problems with each other. I really admire that and it’s my favourite thing about this couple💘 Like the thought of facing his mother was bearable because she was by his side. Or her opening her own studio, Rory was there to encourage and push her.

Such a cute couple and nice story 💜

Still love this !! Defo a fav !!
...........
can I give this more than 5 stars ?? this is now my favourite of Archer's and Rory x Hazel, my favourite couple !!

thank you, Stephanie, for the Arc in exchange for an honest review.

Honestly, what's not to love about this

💕fake dating
💕ex boyfriends rival
💕high school tutor
💕No third act breakup
💕hockey romance
💕he falls first
💕the bond between the main characters' mothers is so touching

And then there's elements of being worthy and the importance of self confidence, its beautiful.

I love how Rory didn't really get involved with Hazel's business, he was just there to support her.! I love him...he's my book husband now..my Roman Empire

The bulid up to the main spicy scene was perfectly done !

Seeing Jamie x Pippa was amazing ! and I want to know more about other characters! Hayden x Darcy.. Alexus and his love intereste 👀 and of course COACH WARD 🥵🥵🥵


and THERES AN EXTRA BONUS SCENE !

AMAZING

Enjoyed the storyline lots of spice.. it’s predictable but I like that so I don’t have to think..
Only downside I found the female narrator a bit over the top and hard to listen to at times…

Enjoyable story
