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.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Fun fact. Another book with the same title and almost same main plot was released on the same bad as this bad boy and I was wondering why I had to Faking it on my tbr list for the weekend. Unfortunately for the other book, I managed to finish this one and I liked it a lot.
Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde proved once again that they can write a very good book together, but to be honest I would have loved more. I wanted to see more of the story and the characters, in a way that I almost feel like the end result was rushed. Faking it is not a bad book and I enjoyed reading it. I love the gang and I can't wait for Kyler's book.
In faking it our heroine, Hailey, owns a matchmaking agency and has a fake fiance in order to not make her potential clients think she is a failure. She is a plus size woman and even though she has lost a ton of weight she still has some hang-ups about it, which prevents her from doing a lot of things. Our hero, Max, is one of the good guys. He might have had fantasies about Hailey, but as long as he thought that she was taken, he never made a move that wasn't professional towards her. Not many people would have done that. Max is one the best heroes I had the chance to read about this year and I wouldn't have minded if I had one Max for my own.
The book is good and the main characters are very likable. If it wasn't for Hailey's insecurities I would have loved her as much as I loved Max. Faking it definitely gets a recommendation from me.

Excerpt:
Max was going straight to hell for lusting after another man's fiancée. He was absolutely sure of it. As he followed Hailey out of the three story building she was about to purchase, he berated himself for allowing his attraction to this engaged woman to obliterate any self-control he'd had over his physical response to her. Just because he'd had her soft, curvy body pressed intimately against his a few minutes ago—okay, plastered against him would be a more apt description—it was no excuse for his unruly dick to leap to immediate attention. Yeah, bad choice of words, but leap it did, without his goddamn permission and before he could fully process what was happening—beyond the instantaneous knowledge that Hailey Ellison fit against his body as if she'd been created specifically for him to fuck. In a matter of seconds, the surge of heat and awareness brought on by having her full, lush breasts crushing against his chest, and her hips aligned so perfectly to his, had his cock perking up and responding to all that physical stimulation. God, he was such an asshole. It wasn't enough that he'd gotten a boner, but in that brief moment he'd imagined what it would be like to take the embrace one or two steps further. To back her up against the nearest wall and slide one hand beneath the hem of her very prim and proper black skirt that hugged her hips and flared out around her knees. To wrap that thick, silky looking hair of hers around his other fist to pull her head back so his mouth would have unobstructed access to the creamy expanse of her throat, while his fingers slipped beneath the edge of her panties and touched her intimately, deeply. See? He was totally going to hell. Regretfully, and out of respect, he'd pushed her away. Because it was the right thing to do and the last thing he wanted was for her to realize his dick was hard. But mostly, he'd ended the embrace—no matter how innocent she'd believed the gesture was—because he had absolutely no business coveting another man's fiancée. Yet, as she walked a few steps ahead of him, his disobedient gaze strayed from all that luxurious hair tumbling down her back and traced along the indentation of her waist. He shamelessly watched the mesmerizing sway of her hips, the perfect curve of her ass that made his palms itch to grab, caress, and smack just hard enough to make her gasp, then moan . . . Jesus, Christ, he thought with a firm shake of his head. What was he? A goddamn hormonal teenager who had no discipline when it came to a girl he was attracted to? It certainly felt that way, and he needed to get his shit together, like now.
