Publisher Description
Fake.
Being the heir to Jacobs Enterprises, I’ve been around fake people my entire life. I promised myself a long time ago that I wouldn’t change for anyone. Which is the only reason I’m a professional hockey player who lives on the beach and does as he pleases without answering to anyone—except my father.
And now, my daughter.
Being a single dad wasn’t in the plan but after a one-night stand who took off after the baby was born, this is my reality.
My dad’s been harping on me to quit hockey and join the company for years and now that I’m a father, he’s only intensified his efforts. Until he makes me a deal I can’t refuse.
Insert Lena Boyd, the Jacobs’ family PR rep. She’s beautiful and intelligent and not at all the woman for me—ask anyone.
My dad needs us to act happily engaged and sell the idea that we’re in love. If we’re successful I won’t have to join the family legacy—ever. Of course, I agree.
That’s when things get complicated. I thought I had her all figured out until I found out there was more underneath her judgmental sneers and eye rolls. It feels like everything is coming together for the future I really want—with Lena—until my past ruins everything.

Faking It with #41
Faking It with #41 by Piper Rayne (Hockey Hotties, Book 3)… 4.5 Maple Leafs
She's just the carrot hanging in front of a bunny, or the steak in front of a dog.
Ford loves playing hockey and answering to only himself. Lena is used to Ford and his antics. Everything changes for Ford when he becomes a single father and his father makes him a deal he can not refuse. In order to get out of having to take over the family business, Ford and Lean just need to fake an engagement and make everyone believe it's real. Everything seems to be working as planned until Ford's past tries to derail everything and makes Ford realize that he wants the fake relationship to be real.
"What are you really afraid of?" I ask.
She freezes with her back to me. I watch for an excruciating minute as she breathes heavily but doesn't face me.
"That I'm not good enough," she whispers. "That you'll want more."
The Hockey Hotties keep getting better and better. The banter between Ford and Lena had me laughing out loud. Lena is strong and resilient but also has a heartbreaking past. I loved seeing Ford grow and mature throughout the book. Ford and Lena both did a great job of helping each other realize their own worth as well as their worth as a couple. I can not wait for more from the Hockey Hotties world.
Audio... Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon did a great job at capturing Ford and Lena and bringing their story to life.
