There is no faking it about it, Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde co-wrote one sizzling, smoking, and sexy contemporary romance that will leave readers craving and swooning for more of Max Sterling.

Faking It was a light, fun, sexy romance that was a mixture of passion, steam, and sweetness. I absolutely adored this story since the authors wrote a story about a big beautiful heroine and her journey of finding confidence and love. It was refreshing to finally read a story where the heroine is not a size zero, two, or four but a real ordinary woman who has curves.
Hailey Ellison is a professional matchmaker. Her matchmaking business is garnering lots of clients and love connections. Everything in her life is great except the fact that her love life is non-existent. Hailey can pair people up but for some reason, she can’t match herself to the right guy. So as professional matchmaker, she knew it would make no sense if she is finding love for others and can’t find love herself and so she decides to make up a fake fiance. So when one of her client’s mother accidentally runs into Hailey and her real estate agent broker, Max Sterling, Hailey’s big lie of being engaged could be ruined especially when she told her client’s mother that her fiance’s name is Max Sterling.

So what does Max do? Well, he goes along with the charade. And why is that? Well, for one, Max finds Hailey very attractive and he can’t stop thinking of her. And secondly, he figures Hailey can also help him from having his mother meddle in his love life. They both agree the fake engagement would be temporary. But what happens when Max tries to get Hailey out of her comfort zone and shows her how beautiful and sexy she is? Will Hailey be finding herself wanting this engagement to be real?
As I said earlier, Faking It was a fun, sexy, cute romance. Readers will adore this love story because Max and Hailey are a couple that you will easily fall in love with. Their connection is real, honest, palpable and sweet. And you gotta love a hero who brings out the confidence in Hailey and shows her that her body is indeed a wonderland. So if you are looking for a romance that blends heat and heart then I highly recommend you to read Faking It.
