Faking It: A Scorching Hot Romance

Hannah and Owen’s love story in Faking It by Stefanie London, book one in her Close Quarters series, gave these two a second chance after pretending that they are in a relationship while working undercover. Owen and Hannah knew each other years ago when they were both in the Academy together but their parting was not on good terms. Owen was brought in from New York to assist Hannah in stopping a group of jewel thieves but working this case together is a disaster in the making. Despite their past, some things don’t change; Owen pushes Hannah’s buttons and Hannah is attracted to him. While Owen tries to keep their relationship friendly Hannah believes that one night of sex would clear the air and allow them to get back to being “professional”. Only, these two had attraction stronger than a magnet and could set off fireworks with the sparks they were igniting. Ms. London wrote a wonderful, steamy, suspenseful and emotional story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing characters giving Hannah and Owen a chance at having a true and forever love. I highly recommend Faking It to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

As former classmates at the Academy, Hannah always had a crush on Owen. Owen KNEW, even back in Academy, that Hannah would be his downfall. So he does what he does best, he runs....Years later, Owen is working as a Security specialist in New York. When his expertise is needed, Owen returns home to go undercover. Hannah always felt she had something to prove, being a female in a male dominated career. Realizing her dreams comes down to one thing, going undercover with her former crush....Owen. Hannah and Owen have to “fake” being married while figuring out the players in the jewel heists. But one touch leads to another, leading to another.... I absolutely loved this novel! Although parts were predictable, the ending was not. The chemistry between Owen and Hannah was scorching! Knowing her heart would likely be broken, Hannah was willing to give them a chance. Owen, too caught up in past tragedies, was not. Sometimes it takes the love of your life walking away to put things into perspective. Some sage advice from his grandma also helped! Living is not necessarily living. You have to be willing to put yourself out there and open yourself up to love and life expectancies—the good and bad. Awesome ending! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.
