About this audiobook
Derek Rory never meant to propose to his best friend's little sister. But when her boss tells a family-oriented investor he's Stephanie's fiancé, Derek can either play along or let her get fired. He's hardly one to turn away from a damsel in distress. If only that damsel wasn't adorable and sexy with a laugh that could melt any cold business mogul’s heart.
When a business proposal becomes a marriage proposal, Stephanie Miller tries to keep it strictly boardroom. But when things get hot under the table, it's all they can do to stay apart. As the tangle of lies drags them deeper into the underhanded world of business politics, Stephanie finds herself in over her head—not just with her job, but with her "fiancé." His eyes are cold, but his kisses light her on fire. If she's not careful, she'll end up faking her way into a real romance.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oh, how I love a Jennifer Crusie book! So do my friends, as evidenced by the books disappearances from my bookshelves. Once again I've resorted to getting a book on audio so I'll have it available when I want a fun and interesting read.The Goodnight family has a long and interesting involvement with art, and Tilda is the latest gifted one, and her family is just as convoluted. Resorting to burglary is a first, but she runs into a con artist who sometimes consults for the FBI who is resorting to burglary for personal reasons. And so the fun begins! I'll leave the plot clues to the publisher's blurb and skip the spoilers, but this is a great stress reducing read!Aasne Vigesaa is really great for this narration with her ability to portray the characters and situations.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a light read (I read it in a day) but I enjoyed how each character was faking something. Witty.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was nice to catch up with the Dempseys again. Fine listening material.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Been so long since I read this one, surprised with how rough around the edges Davy Dempsey is. Pure Crusie magic with the managing tropes and expectations, and a better mystery than WELCOME TO TEMPTATION.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked Welcome to Temptation better as a romance. As a whole, I like Fake it better. The story was nuts, it made me laugh quite a few times. I really think that Gwen and Ford need their own book. Gwen is my new hero. I actually didnt "get" Tilda as a character, or Davey for that matter. The whole art trauma didn't touch me the same way Sophie's problems did. The book was a much stronger Comedy and even Mystery than it was a romance. I did like the whole lousy sex thing. It's nice to see that addressed in a romance. A nice touch of reality.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If there’s one thing that Crusie is good at, it’s writing a fun story. From the moment Tilda and Davy bump into each other in Clea’s closet to the final page, there’s ne’er a dull moment in the lives of the Goodnights and Dempseys.It’s hard to imagine a dull moment in their lives even without that bump in the night. Everyone in this book is a character with a capital “C”. It could have been overkill, but I think Crusie gives them enough “real” characteristics to balance out the wacky. You want to root for them, even for the unconventional hit man.The search for the Scarlett paintings gives a bit of meat to the romance, and I enjoyed it. For the most part, I really like what Crusie does. It’s a little like if Carl Hiaasen wrote romance books.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Artistic talent, con men, forgeries (centuries of them) and a few million dollars gone astray - and a bit of romance at the heart of it all. A wacky cast of characters, a far-fetched plot, snappy dialogue and quick pacing make this a fantastic curl-up on the couch and enjoy the afternoon kind of read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I jumped right in and enjoyed every minute of this book. Funny, fun characters, great dialogue, and some crime and mystery thrown in. I will be looking for more by Julie Crusie.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Sorry, I just didn't really like this one. I usually love Crusie but this one wasn't for me.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A romance between an art forger and a con man. This is the first romance novel I've read, and I can't say I'll make a habit of dipping into this genre, but I did enjoy it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Art, crime and comedy? odd mix, but it works. Mainly because no one else can pull these weirdos off like Crusie can. Also on a seperate note, I like the hardcover blurbs of Crusie's books so much better. the paperback covers made me put the books back so many times because I figured I wouldn't enjoy them. Silly, silly covers.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5At first it was a bit slow, and too many characters, with too many different names and under plots. But it grew on me. The main girl character reminds me of me, glasses, geeky, but adventorous. Really quirky chracters; her family and the art gallery, and who everyone was. 3/25/03
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was my first JC book and I was hooked. Still, it's my favorite JC. A charming little story that makes you believe in love and good people.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My first Jennifer Crusie but not my last. This was a really fun, light, little read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Faking it is another great light romantic comedy by Jennifer Crusie. I loved the characters, and the dialogue was witty and sparkling. The book reminded me of screwball comedy movies. Her characters are believable and fun. Great book and I would suggest buying it because you will want to re-read this book again and again.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very very funny. I laughed out loud several times.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another good one. Everybody in the interesting cast of characters (my favorite is Nadine, Tilda's teenage niece) is playing a part or wearing a mask. Also enjoyed Tilda's knowledge of art and art forgery and Davy's con games. Surprisingly little sex.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is my 8th? 10th? reread of this book. It's a beloved favorite. Set against the backdrop of a failing art gallery, a sexy conman meets a fraudulent artist and hi-jinx ensue. It's funny, sexy, and you just want to visit this world and stay in it forever. I always like Jennifer Crusie, but this is a particular favorite.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5many years ago when Tilda was much younger she painted some pictures in the style of the daughter of a famous artist and those pictures were sold by her father. When one of the last ones is sold by mistake she feels that she has to go hunting for it. WHen she's looking for it Davy Dempsey finds her and helps her, but what are his motives. Will he still respect her when he finds out that she's a world class forger?A fun light romp.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Even better than Fast Women! I'm now a Crusie addict, and in love with Davy Dempsey to boot. This one's fun, sexy, and funny as hell.
