Faking the Game

4 1/2 stars for me. I enjoyed this story. Keaton and Aslan were a power duo on the work front. Both had personal issues that were getting out of control. Keaton was trying to do the right thing for her family. Aslan was trying to avoid his mother. Circumstances pushed the two into a deal to help the other out. They tried to keep their hearts out of it, keep it business. Needless to say, things did not go smoothly. I was pulled into the story from the start, rooted for this duo.

I love the start of the new Paradise Bay Billionaire Brothers series! This fun, and steamy, fake relationship romance was completely addicting! Aslan Spearman only cares about work and is also one of the most eligible bachelors in San Francisco. His mother is always trying to fix him up and he hates it. When his family wants him to go to a family reunion in Hawaii, he is desperate to find a fake girlfriend so his family will leave him alone. Keaton Nealy is his VP of Operations and his right hand. He trusts her above anyone else so she is the perfect person to ask. Keaton has always had a crush on her sexy boss but loves her work and doesn't want to jeopardize her job. But her personal life is complicated as she tries to help her ailing mother and her younger sister. When Aslan finds out how deep her problems go, all he wants to do is help her. She doesn't want charity so agrees to go with him in exchange for his help, until she can pay him back. The romantic Hawaiian location makes it impossible for them to ignore the attraction and heat between them. Aslan soon realizes how much he has always cared for Keaton. But what happens in Hawaii is impossible to ignore when they get home. As Keaton pushes him away, Aslan is determined to prove to her that they are meant to be together, forever. I really loved Aslan and Keaton together. They were so perfect together with Keaton's strength, and sass, and Aslan was so kind, patient, and swoony, and their chemistry leaped right off the page! I enjoyed watching Keaton and her sister's relationship grow and evolve. I also loved the whole Spearman family who were all so loving, and supportive, and added some of the most hilarious moments! I am really excited about this new series and can't wait for more!

I absolutely loved Faking the Game by Claudia Burgoa; it is an incredible fake dating opposites attract love story. It is the first book in her Paradise Bay Billionaire Brothers series. I am looking forward to reading the other books in the series. Claudia Burgoa showed that she is an amazing storyteller and has once again provided her readers with amazing characters. I love all the characters in Faking the Game, they feel like family! Faking the Game filled me with a rollercoaster of emotions, I could not put it down, and I loved every moment on every page. Who does not love hot sexy men, strong females, loving families, and friends, who always support one another? I love how Claudia Burgoa always manages to create the "perfect" heroine, who is a strong woman on her own, to balance out the sexy, swoon worthy men. I really enjoy how the book is told in the first person from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. I love the lighter moments where I find myself smiling and laughing out loud. My favorite moments are the ones that pull at my heartstrings that cause me to sigh, as I read the heartbreaking moments. Faking the Game is filled with heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. It is filled with all those things that I have come to love and expect in Claudia Burgoa love story, and she did not disappoint, especially with the poignant and bittersweet moments that filled this page turner. Faking the Game is a love story about, Aslan Spearman, CEO Spearman LP and Keaton Nealy, VP of Operations for Spearman LP. Aslan has been telling his mother that he has been dating someone for over a year. The Spearman family is having a family reunion in Hawaii, and Aslan’s mother, Dawn wants Aslan to bring his girlfriend to the family reunion. Aslan helps Keaton with some issues that she has with and because of her mother. Keaton agrees to be Aslan’s fake girlfriend, I love the fake dating agreement that she creates, especially the part about not falling in love with one another. Meanwhile, Aslan already believes that he is in love with Keaton. As Keaton and Aslan begin spending time together in Hawaii, fake dating, things quickly heat up between the two of them. As they spend more time together, they share secrets that they have not revealed to anyone. I love the chemistry between Keaton and Aslan. I love that both Keaton and Aslan were both so vulnerable and that each of them changed because of their love for one another. I love how they share things that they have never shared before, especially the secrets that Keaton shares regarding her childhood. I love all the things that Aslan does for Keaton to keep her with her mother and her sister, Savannah. The saddest part of the story is when Keaton tells Aslan that she is no one’s first choice. My favorite part are the plot twists that involved Aslan and Keaton. I did not see those coming. I also love how the epilogue went above and beyond a happily ever after. I loved Aslan’s proposal. I love the characters and the family dynamic in Faking the Game, the characters feel like family and friends. I enjoyed all the interactions between the Spearman family, the characters feel like family and friends. I enjoyed all the interactions between the Spearman siblings especially their teasing that made me laugh. I loved all the characters in Faking the Game, and I am looking forward to reading the other books in the series. Who does not love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? I thoroughly enjoyed Faking the Game, who does not love a faking dating love story? Highly recommend this incredible love story and am so looking forward to reading the other books in the series.
