Stephanie Archer is an auto-buy author for me and The Fake Out is another in a long line of knockouts from her! The Fake Out is an opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine, fake dating story, all of which are my favorite tropes. Rory is the epitome of golden retriever boyfriends and I loved how much Hazel had to try to stifle her laughter around him. I need my own Rory! He was so sweet and all in to help Hazel get on her ex's nerves. I loved that Hazel is a total badass and Rory knows it and loves it about her. The way the two of them protected each other was really great.
The best part is

no third act break up!!

. That's really what made it 5 stars for me.

i loved this one, even more than pippa a jamie’s book. the story is simple and only focuses on the romance but it’s an easy read, i fell in love with the characters.

i’m glad there was no typical 3rd act breakup as it wouldn’t have worked for this story but there was still enough conflict in the story to stay interesting

the spice was great as per usual and i loved seeing both of them work through their issues and learn to be vulnerable and communicate.
