Faking It by Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde Book Summary

Confirmed bachelor Max Sterling isn't into rescuing damsels in distress, but when the very tempting Hailey Ellison needs his help, there's only one thing for him to do. Step in and pose as her loving fiancé. Except there is nothing fake about his attraction to her, or how much he wants her beneath him in his bed, moaning his name. But what starts as a sexy, flirty, temporary engagement, quickly becomes something more serious than either one ever anticipated.

Amazing. It couldn’t put the book down. The plot wasn’t very hard to follow, and the lack of dramatic splash into the story made it to love.

Highly recommend this great book!. I just devoured this book. I started it around 11:00 am and finished it at 11:00 pm the same day.....I loved it! In the book Big Shot, we met Max Sterling.....he is Wes Sinclair's business partner. Max is also a confirmed bachelor. Sure someday he'd like the whole family, house and kids stuff but for now he is content with his life, at least until Hailey Ellison walks into it. Hailey is looking for a high end building for her matchmaking company. She is very picky and has a list of certain criteria that are a must. Too bad she's engaged based on the diamond on her left hand and Max doesn't mess with women who are taken....no matter how much they turn him on. After three months of looking, Max has found Hailey the perfect building. When they go to lunch to celebrate they run into one of Hailey's clients who believes that Max is Hailey's fiance....unbeknownst to him! That's when the fun begins! When Max realizes that Hailey is not engaged and not even dating anyone he has made it his mission to make Hailey his. I just adored Max and Hailey. What started out as a pretend engagement quickly changes into something real for both of them. Since Hailey has some skeletons in her closet, she doesn't believe that Max could really be that into her and she thinks that he is just putting on a great show. Max starts to realize that Hailey has some insecurities and he is trying really hard to reverse them. These two had a fun ride to get to their happy ending....Max's well off family....Max's crazy ex that he only dated 3 times...as well as all of Max's friends and Hailey's best friend. This was a wonderful story that I highly recommend!

Faking it by Carly Phillips/Erika Wilde. ARC for honest review with no compensation Just like all the books these two ladies write, Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde find swoon worthy men and their sexy, smart beautiful women and bring them together……. Hailey Ellison is in the matchmaking business and while she has a great success rate for bring her clients together, she has not been as lucky to find her own match. Her insecurities come from her childhood and college experiences. She has taken to wearing an engagement ring to keep her male clients from hitting on her. Now she needs to find a larger place to hold the business, have conference rooms, large room for mixers for her clients to meet their potential match and an apartment for her. She hires Max Sterling to help her in the hunt for the “perfect building”. Max Sterling real estate agent extraordinaire has found place for Hailey to look at but so far has not been able to find the “perfect building”. While they have been looking for three months, Max feels an attraction for Hailey and he believes she does to but because she is wearing an engagement ring he doesn’t pursue or put pressure on her. A client of Max’s calls and tell him wants to put his building on the market but want to have a quick sale as he is getting divorced. Max knows that this is the “perfect building” for Hailey. After showing Hailey the building, she knows it’s the one and they decide to go out for a celebration lunch, but when leaving they run into the mother of one of her clients who she told a little white lie to about her “fake” fiancé (aka she used Max as her model) and the truth comes out about the engagement ring. Max decides to play along for reasons of his own and now it gets interesting….. Lots of flirty, sexy banter, little white lies and an attraction between them that is swoon worthy but will Hailey let down her guard and let Max show her that she is a smart, sexy, beautiful woman who deserves love and a HEA or will she push him away because of her insecurities????

Prayers that men like Max exist! Swoon!. There is something to be said for a guy who finds the beauty in the person and not the body. I loved Max because he was taken with Hailey for the person that she was and not the trophy body that people assumed he should be dating. When Max found out that Hailey was actually available he was so excited to be able to pursue something with her. Hailey had learned to live with her curves and was OK that she wasn't the picture perfect model that men went for, but she didn't fool herself into thinking that men wanted her. When Max agreed to be her fake fiance she was relieved, but didn't think he'd ever want anything more. I loved how Max not only made her feel special, but helped to erase her fears in the little things that he did. Struggling with weight and how you see yourself is hard enough and when others point it out, it's hard to maintain healthy self esteem. Max built Hailey up through the book and showed her that he truly loved her in whatever package she came in. She was beautiful both inside and out. I loved this story. It hits home for me and I love to think that there are men like Max out there. Great read!

Great story. Loved it!. Hailey and Max were the perfect couple. She, with all of her insecurities, wanting to believe a man like Max could want to be with her, and he, with issues of his own, come together with patience and understanding to be a great couple.

Great Book. I thought this book was very entertaining funny at times and a great romance between Hailey and Max. This was my first time reading a book by these authors and I have added them to my list of favorites. I have even preordered the next book in this series and I can't wait until it released.

Recommend!. I loved this book! Hailey is a matchmaker and does really well at it except when it comes to her own love life. She has body and self-esteem issues that she has been struggling with for years. Max is such a great guy. He is a gentleman, loves his family and friends and so understanding and patient with Hailey. They are in a fake engagement that is mutally beneficial. As they agree to attend certain social events, Hailey and Max get to know each other...very well to the point where they want it to be real, that is, until the charade is outed. This is a really great cast of characters and I enjoy catching up with them from the previous books. But, the dynamic between Hailey and Max is extra special. It is sweet and sexy which makes this book a must read.

Faking it. Fun story with believable characters. We all know the (insert your own dirty word here) person that we would love to push in front of a bus-Alison. We all have good friends also. Love that this is a stand alone book.

Faking it. Great read.

Another Winner. Faking It is another winner for Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde as they continue to co-write books. These two are among my favorite authors and are among the most talented writers in Romance Land. Combining their voices created a strong story, with characters that not only have compassion and empathy but also depth. I have to say that this book is equal parts dirty and sexy, with some extra fun thrown in, all which benefits by the combining of their voices. I highly recommend this book to all readers. This book is definitely hot and sexy, but is also a story about two people who are were not looking for love but found it accidently. Becoming a fake engaged couple benefitted not only Hailey as she ran her matchmaking business but also for Max. Confirmed bachelor Max was being stalked by a woman who would not take no for an answer. Having Hailey on his arm was the perfect answer to deter this woman. Or was it? Can Hailey and Max overcome the lies to actually fall in love? I truly cannot wait to see what to see what Carly and Erika have lined up next as they continue this co-authorship. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

FAKING IT. A swoon worthy hunk of a man wins our hearts in the latest by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde! He’s rich, hunky, and a kindhearted soul who sets out to help out a friend and have a little fun doing it, but winds up feeling more than he ever expected. Great group of friends and family and a sweet yet sexy, hot read! Max Sterling and Hailey Ellison started working together on a project a few months ago and developed into friends who enjoy a few good laughs and friendly conversation each time they see each other. Max can’t believe how attracted he is to her … but unfortunately for him, she’s taken … or is she?? When Hailey needs a warm body to fill the position as her fake fiance to get her out of a little business snafu, Max ends up being her guy. And when he finds out that she’s free, all bets are off and he sets out to woo her into enjoying a heated fling with him while they pull off their fake engagement. When it comes time to call it quits, will they be in too deep?

Hot sex scenes. This book was filled with hot sex scenes. The story to this book however was one that all too many women have to face. An average weight women made to feel less because she was not stick thin. This abuse came from both men and women until one man loved her enough to show her otherwise.

Faking it. I truly loved this book. I enjoyed how Max helped Hailey overcome her insecurities about herself and become a confident woman.

Sexy, confidence building, dirty talker!. This is another five star read by this dynamic duo of authors and it features Max Sterling and Hailey Ellison. Max definitely knows how to make a woman feel more confident. I loved the phone calls. Sizzling HOT! Max is genuinely a good guy and is good for Hailey's soul. I did feel like he should've stood up for Hailey, with Addison, a little more aggressively but that didn't take away from the story at all. This story has fantastic, well developed characters and an amazing story line. I can't wait for the next one.

Highly recommend!!!. Faking It is the 2nd book in the Book Boyfriend series from Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. Seriously two of my absolute favorite authors teaming up to give me book heaven once again. I loved everything about Max and Hailey's story. I absolutely fell in love with Max Sterling as I read more and more of Faking It. He is such a sexy and strong hero. He actually looks at people and sees them for more than what is on the outside. I loved how much he cared for and wanted Hailey pretty much from the moment they met. I also loved how attracted Hailey was to Max from the moment they met. So much so that he was on her mind when they were away from one another. I adored Hailey and Max as a couple. Their attractions was off the charts hot and Max helped Hailey see herself the way he saw her. The fake engagement between Max and Hailey was destined to be real pretty much from the moment they agreed to it. Max and Hailey both liked each other as individuals, but needed help for personal reasons and business reasons. Max wanted to get away from stalker Addison, who was a family friend who wouldn't take no for an answer and Hailey is a successful matchmaker with no boyfriend. Max and Hailey worked on every level as a couple for me. Max took things slowly to earn Hailey's trust and Hailey became so much happier and stronger for having Max in her life first as a friend and then a lover. Faking It was one of those books I wanted to re-read as soon as I finished reading it the first time. In fact, I've already read it twice and loved it just as much on the second reading. Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde give their readers characters to fall in love with and feel like you could be friends with as well. I highly recommend Faking It to all lovers of contemporary romances. Rating: 5 Stars (A) Review copy provided by publisher

We all need a Max. Wow, Max was such a surprise. He had sensitivity as well as good looks and a heart. I loved that Hailey was not your 'typical' book girlfriend and was more real life. I think we could all swoon for Max. And these two authors, are a winning combination. 10 stars to Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. Great story!

Cute sweet story but clunky writing. This really could have used some editing. Some glaring examples from the first few chapters: “‘Are you okay?’ he asked, wanting to make certain that she was fine.” “He’d been attracted to Hailey from the first day they’d met, and the more he learned about her, the more his interest increased, not diminished as it normally did with the women he’d dated in the past—or with the women his mother set him up with.” But overall a cute sweet story.

Great story!. Loved Max and Hailey! Their attraction to each other that they are both trying to hide and the reveal of Hailey's fake fiance make you really root for the two of them to find their HEA together. Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde are a great writing duo and I love reading their stories. Faking It is no exception! Add this one to your TBR pile now!

Faking it. By Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde Great book great story great characters! So must read! Bookbub

Brighter. This is book #2 in the Book Boyfriend series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. I recommend reading this series in order. Hailey is saved by Max when a nosy busybody interferes in her life. The consequences of the save, however, means they must play along for a time. Hailey is attracted to Max for real. Could this be a love match? Max has wanted Hailey for himself for some time. Playing her missing man is easy when he wants to put his hands on her. It gets more complicated as time goes on, but Max has started thinking that the future may need to be different than he thought. This book has a lot of humor, heat, and heart. I love that the characters are honest with one another. Well, as much as they can be. This was a sexy and fun read. ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review.

Sexy, Fun Romance!!. This is an interesting, entertaining, fun and sexy romance about a couple that has been building sexual tension over a long three months and trying their best to ignore an intense attraction both for separate yet compelling reasons. Confirmed bachelor Max Sterling is content to be single and is not convinced he will ever find the one since the only woman he as been instantly attracted to is the very unavailable client of the last three months who is engaged to another man. (that he has never seen or heard about but has seen the ring on her finger every encounter with her) Hailey Ellison is a shy and sweet woman with strong body image issues enforced by her one and only lover in college and recently decided to start wearing a ring on a very important finger to shave her heart the trouble mean cause. Their mutual runaway attraction explodes one lunch celebration and the game is on.. Loved every heart pounding, fun filled, plot twisting moment.

Truthfully great. Max and Hailey are a great fun couple. There is no faking loving this book. You easily fall in love with both of these characters and the relationship itself even though it is supposed to be a fake engagement you can see that the both are starting to have feelings for each other but will they admit it to each other. Plus you get to keep up with characters from the other book in this series. Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde has once again wrote a great read and can't wait for the next one in the series.

No. Boring and predictable

No faking it here!. Every time that Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde write a book together, I have come to expect certain things. It's going to be super sexy, funny, swoony, sweet and wonderful. Faking It hit every one of those expectations! I really enjoyed this story! From Max's sexy, dirty talk and his patience and desire to make Hailey comfortable......to Hailey's insecurities being wiped away and her fun, bubbly personality, this book gave me all the feels! It was an extremely enjoyable, quick read that left me wanting more from the other characters! Can't wait for the next one! Happy reading!

Brilliant. This book was brilliant funny and moving it connects personally as well

Breathtaking. OMG..... Carly and Erika are #oneclick authors for me, and this story did not disappoint. What a story! I laughed, cried and fell in love with these characters. I couldn’t wait to see where they went on their journey, but hated to see their story end. Max was a SMOKIN HOT, SWOON WORTHY character, that I wanted to lick something fierce. Hailey is a girl with body issues and self-esteem issues, which a lot of, if not all, women can relate to on some level. Their journey was beautiful and breathtaking. The storyline was strong, with no discrepancies. I loved how the secondary characters built in the strength of Max and Hailey. I also loved how the story wasn’t a rushed, unbelievably short timeline. There was a timeline and a progression to their relationship. I CANNOT WAIT TO GO BACK AND READ BOOK 1!
