Blog Tour: Faking It by K. Bromberg

Faking It BT banner.jpg

Zane Phillips mistook me for his dog walker. It shouldn't surprise me that the man with a suit more expensive than my rent would assume that I was there to serve him. The positive? I put him in his place. The negative? I missed my job interview because of it. Now I find out he's a rich Australian entrepreneur, and he wants to make up for tanking my interview.

Yes, he's impossibly hot - but he's also an arrogant jackass - so...no thanks.
But after a little white lie I tell spirals out of control, I'm somehow offered the chance to play Zane's girlfriend to help promote his new dating website - and the best part? He can't say no because he'll get caught in his lie, too.

Little did I know this would entail sharing a tour bus with him for the next few months. The fact that the bus has just one bed isn't the most ideal of circumstances, but this spokesperson gig might be the kick in the pants my career needs, so why not take a chance?

Famous last words.

Now I'm crisscrossing the country - and sharing that bed - with the one guy I can't stand. And even worse, my traitorous body is wondering at every turn what it's like to be down under the gorgeous Australian. But as the miles unfurl, so does our passion...and if I'm not careful, I might end up believing that fairy tales really do come true.

Review by Jen Skewes


I really enjoyed this book.   What starts out as a misunderstanding between two people ends up with them on a very interesting ride for thew next couple of months. Zane Phillips, sexy Australian Entrepreneur mistakes Harlow for his dog walker.  When he realizes what he did he tries to apologize with a pair of shoes and an invite to one of his events.  It is at that event that Harlow tries to get back at him, only for him to fire back. And before you know it the two of them not only find themselves in a fake relationship, but getting ready to go an a tour promoting Zane's online dating app that is about to launch.  This party did not end the way either one of them expected.  When it is all over will they part ways or will Harlow get the fairy tale ending her mom has always talked about?

I really loved this book and the characters.  I've read books before about fake relationships, but I think this was little different.  Harlow and Zane were not friends, they hardly knew each other.  It wasn't one person asking the other for a favor.  But there was good reason for the both of them to agree to just go with it.  

Zane is cocky, arrogant and sexy.  Most women fall at his feet, never having to work hard to get them in his bed.  But Harlow, she is not like other women.  She is sassy and does not look at Zane like other women do.  Now don't get me wrong, she is not blind.  She sees how hot he is but she isn't ready to jump in his bed.  To be honest he annoys her and she has no problem speaking her mind.  HE certainly met his match with Harlow.  And together they were the perfect, even if they couldn't see it.  The banter between the two of them, the sexual tension, the sweet moments that would make you melt, and the fun it all is what drew me in.  Zane was a tough guy to read, but Harlow knew how to push his buttons, and at the same time be able to peel back his layers, and vice versa.  I loved them together.

Faking It is a fun and light read, but there was a moment where I did get a little emotional and choked up.  It was a moment that was just written so well that it got me.  Made me feel for the two of them, especially Harlow.  It was perfect and really made me root for these two even more.  Another fantastic read from Ms. Bromberg.

Excerpt:


“I have connections.” Brilliant, Zane. Fucking brilliant. That’s how you get her to not run away from you? By giving her a sleazy line? “Maybe I could help you find something.”

“I couldn’t care less about your connections.” She hangs her head and when she lifts it, I watch her reign in the pride I feel like a dick for bruising. “I’m sorry. That was rude. Like I said, thank you.” She holds up the papers and offers a reticent smile.

“Look . . .” I take a step toward her, more than aware that I don’t want her to go just yet and questioning why I’m even bringing this up. “I have an event I’m holding at the end of the week. You should come. I could introduce you to some people. There might be some job opportunities there.”

“Thanks, but no thanks. I’m not that kind of girl.” The roll of her eyes has me realizing how she took my comment.

My laugh makes my dog lift her head. “That’s not exactly what I meant, Harlow. I run a matchmaking website, not an escort service.”

“Good to know. So basically that means you cherry pick the women you want to date after you scope out all their information. I assure you now I can sleep better at night knowing this.”

“You’re exhausting.” And she is, but in the most fascinating of ways.

“You’re one to talk.” She crosses her arms over her chest and lifts her eyebrows.

I hold my hands up. “All I was trying to say is connections matter in this town. You and I both know that. My event . . . there is going to be a lot of people there. Industry people,” I say more than aware I just let it slip that I looked her up and know she works in the industry.

“Good. Great. Can you go now?”

But there’s a crack of a smile on her face. A chink in her defensive armor that tells me I’m getting somewhere.

“You have to take opportunities when they present themselves.” She doesn’t say anything but the slight smile remains. “Zane Phillips. Nice to meet you.” I stick my hand out. She looks down at it and nods but doesn’t shake it.

God, she’s stubborn.

And damn gorgeous.

“And you’re Harlow Nicks.”

“Considering you had my electric bill, I guess that means you know how to read.”

“I do.” I nod. “And I also have your email address from your interview paperwork.”

“Should I worry that you’re stalking me?”

I shake my head and sigh. “I’ll email you the information about the party—”

“—don’t bother—”

“—it’s on Friday night. Cocktail attire. Lots of networking.”

“I won’t read it.”

I flash a megawatt smile at her and then turn to walk away. “Yes, you will.”

And she will.

It’s rare that a woman resists me. She’s trying but I’ll win in the end. It just seems for the time being that I have my work cut out for me.

I’m a man who always has an end goal in mind. Always.

There’s no point in setting a goal if you don’t plan on smashing it.

Question is, what in the hell am I aiming for when it comes to Harlow Nicks?
