The Fake Out

Vancouver Storm, Book 2

De: Stephanie Archer

Narrado por: Connor Crais, Kit Swann

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

Good, but too long

Lots of over analyzing. MFC repeats phrases and thoughts too often in her self dialogue. Cute banter & personalities. Overall enjoyable. Connor Crais was an excellent choice for Rory!

Love her stories

Yes it’s a cliche hockey fake dating romance but it was written so perfectly!!! Such a fun smutty read!! The FMC was not annoying and exhausting as usual and the MMC was EVERYTHING!!!

2 books in

so far I do like the series. but the female narrator sounds like she's crying even when she's just talking. the whine in her voice makes her sound like she's in her 60's or 70's with emphysema. it's jarring and makes the story hard to enjoy. the male narrator in this one is awesome. nice deep attractive voice. unlike the guy in the first book. LOL

Humorous and Hot

I'm not usually a romcom romance reader, but I was looking for something different, so glad I found this book. PROS: Very funny, found myself smiling and laughing frequently. Spice was perfect, incredibly hot and frequent but not in a way that's too much and cringey. Good main storyline between the two main characters, can't get enough of the MMC adoring and flirting at grumpy FMC. Tiny CONS--The constant mention of certain issues, we get it we get it, don't need to drag story down by repeating it so much. I wish the FMC narrator would speak in a normal tone more often, the constant breathy uring tone is too much, MMC narrator was absolutely perfect tho. Only small complaints, book was nearly perfect, loved it.

Good performance by male and female leads

The story was well written and well performed. It left the listener with a satisfying view of the life and character of the main players in this hockey based story.

Just perfect.

This was just such a great feel good book to listen to. Going to start the next one, now 🤍

Such a great story

Loved the characters, chemistry, and character growth. Great male voice actor. It was a beautiful love story. It's one of my favorites.

Great love story

This was an easy listen and a great story! Loved it. I would recommend it to my friends.

Narration was bad

Audiobooks are my every day thing some people listen to music every day but I listen to books…the female narrator was a huge turn off the entire book she sounded like she was going to cry…the voice she used for other female characters was better than the one for her as the lead. Honestly almost gave up listening because of how much of an ick her voice was but I really enjoyed story. If you are going to get this book definitely listen to the sample before investing.

One of my all time favs

Rory miller. He is everything. And Connor Chase did such a fantastic time narrating him. I love everything about this book
