GR's Summary:
As her sizzling new series continues, Jennifer Chance sparks some serious combustion between a sexy biker and a corporate go-getter who’s ready to let her hair down. New grad Anna Richardson works hard—so hard that she’s given up having a romantic life. Anna has even convinced her friends that she’s dating an amazing guy—who they’ve simply never met. But now Anna has a wedding to attend and needs to produce the hottie she’s been lying about for the past six months. Enter Jake Flynn, her infuriating, motorcycle-riding, jaw-droppingly gorgeous neighbor, who’s more than willing to fake it for a weekend. In fact, Jake won’t be satisfied until things get real. Though Jake is only playing the role of adoring boyfriend, he’s starting to feel the heat, and judging by Anna’s sweet blush, so is she. Letting chemistry this intense go to waste would be a real shame. Soon, though, the thin line between fantasy and reality fades. Jake may not be what every buttoned-up fast-tracker wants, but he’s sure as hell what Anna needs. And if she takes a ride with him, their adventure never has to end.
Lindy's Thoughts:
Fake It, by Jennifer Chance, was a very fun, sexy, and entertaining story! It is the story of workaholic Anna Richardson, and sexy motorcycle man, Jake Flynn. Anna had a childhood in which her mother constantly struggled with finances. As you can imagine, this had a huge effect of Anna. She made a promise to herself, that she would never struggle with money, and have to go through what her mother had. Therefore, she threw herself in to college, and made a successful career for herself that ensured a vast amount of material wealth and comfort. Unfortunately, she became a workaholic and doesn't let her hair down much. With her college roommate getting married, she needs to produce a date. Especially since she lied to her friends and told them she had a boyfriend named Dave that she had been dating for six months. In reality, she's created this fake boyfriend to stop her college friends from constantly trying to set her up, and to stop her ex-boyfriend, Todd, from trying to impose himself back in to her life.
Enter, Jake. He is Anna's sexy neighbor. Every night she walks past his garage as he works on motorcycles, and dresses up just for him. Jake is a free spirit, who likes to travel and ride his bike. He is the complete opposite of Anna's type. She tends to go for the stiff, button-up, well-off, and prominent business men. Jake has set his eyes on Anna ands is very persistent. While she is looking for a man to stand in as her fake boyfriend, Jake is all to willing to offer his services, and while Anna is reluctant at first, she eventually agrees!
Fake It was such a fun story! I loved Jake's free spirited and fun attitude. He brought out such a different side to Anna, and she started to really live and enjoy her life. She stopped focusing on her image, and what others thought, and really started to enjoy her own adventure, and live! Jake and Anna were very sexy together. They had great chemistry, and Ms. Chance writes the steamiest love scenes! Whew!!! She sure knows what she is doing!!! These two may have been opposites, but they really complimented one another. Last, but not least, I loved getting reunited with the secondary characters from the last book, Rock It! Erin, Dani, and of course Lacey were great! Any girl would be lucky to have them as friends, and I felt like they were mine. Fake It, kept my attention, and I couldn't wait to see how it all would end.
My Rating:
If you are looking for a fun, easygoing romance, with a sexy feel, Fake It, is the read for you! I give Fake It 4 Wild, Adventurous, Carefree, Coming Out5 of Your Shell, and Living Life Filled Stars!!! Each book in this series, just keeps getting better, and I'm excited to see what Ms. Chance comes up with next!
The Way Ria See's It
OHHHH mYYYYY GoodNESS Fake It was SO HOT!!! Ms Chance really ramps up the steam in this story! I absolutely LOVED it! This is the 2nd book in the Rule Breakers series and its the one I was initially drawn to cause…Sexy biker guy? Yep my thoughts exactly. We were first introduced to Anna in Rock It and I must say I fell in love with her there. When Lacey needed her Anna rushed to her side to help Lacey fix things she came through in a big way. We got a glimpse of Anna’s strength and determination so I was already in love all I needed to do was enjoy the ride. Let me tell you! Jake made this book sizzle the things he did for and to Anna were…*sigh* Their chemistry and charisma really made this book shine. Though this wasn’t an emotional read I did catch the feels a couple of times my eyes got all watery and I had to bite back tears. All and all this was a very fun read I did not want to put down. I can’t wait to see whats next in the Rule Breakers series.
F-rustrated, Anna has waited to long and perpetuated a lie that has spun out of control. Time is precious and though she doesn’t want Jake to be her date her body and heart are telling her something totally different.
A-cquired, Anna has worked hard for what she has accomplished in her life. Being with Jake seems so simple yet its the most profound thing she has had since she can recall. Afraid of life is not the way to live besides whats one weekend of losing control?
K-een, Jake knows exactly what he wants never taking to much just what he needs. He calls the shots on life, life doesn’t call the shots on him. All he has ever needed before was his bike and a long stretch of road, now he cant imagine either of those things without Anna.
E-clipsed, a weekend that was supposed to be fun and carefree has turned into so much more. Anna is confused and heart broken while Jake will take a leap and push Anna, what he doesn’t understand is he is so strong that while pushing he has pushed too hard leaving Anna without a choice.
I-ntense, Jake has always cared too much he has so much inside him. Broken but determined to make things right he will alter his plans to focus on part of his new dreams. Having Anna by his side.
T-rip, just when things seemed to file into place a whirlwind of events crash down on Anna’s life that will be what it takes to make her decision final.
So at first I was like okay how is Ms Chance going to end this cause I wanted the HEA but to be perfectly honest our two main characters were like oil and water. Their lives and ambitions were polar opposites so I was very very curious. Drum roll please…yay! well played Ms. Chance well played! The ending was perfect! OMG it was charming, endearing, totally plausible, and made me bite back some tears pretty hard. The side characters were great as usual the girls were all there and we got an update on our sexy rockstar and his new manager. Thats probably one of my favorite things about a series that can also be stand alone…Though the main characters are different and the story lines are way different, we get to see little snip its of past characters! Lol! This was a great read so I totally recommend it!
