The newest romance from New York Times bestselling, Audie Award winning author Kylie Scott!

He walks the red carpet. She’s more familiar with vacuuming one.

When a scandal tarnishes the reputation of hot as hell A-lister, Patrick Walsh, he needs a reputation rescue, pronto.

Enter waitress Norah Peers–a nobody who’s average with a capital A. She’s available, dependable, and has sworn off men for the rest of her natural born life. In other words: the perfect match for a no-strings fake romance.

For the right amount of money, she can avoid waitressing and play the part of his dependable down-to-earth girlfriend. What she can’t avoid–dammit–is the growing steam between them.

But being hounded by the paparazzi and having her life dissected on social media is a panic attack in the making. And while Patrick might be a charming rogue on screen, in real life he’s a six-foot-two confusing, gorgeous, brooding grump, who keeps her at a distance . . . but also makes her feel like this bond between them might be more than just an act.

Being dumped on cue should be no big deal. Except being fake with Patrick is the realist relationship Norah has ever had. What’s a girl to do, but flip the script, and ask for a re-match made in Hollywood?

“Fake kept me up late reading because I could not put this story down. I adored Patrick and Norah, the fun, the banter … all the sweetness. Not to mention the heat! Kylie Scott delivers again!" –Carly Phillips, New York Times bestselling author

“Kylie Scott has been one of my favorite authors for years. Her way with words, and her ability to make me fall in love with men I know I shouldn’t but do, anyways has always been the recipe for the perfect read for me. I absolutely loved Fake, and it was easy with brooding alpha Patrick and quirky lovable Norah. The two of them together are a match made in book heaven. I couldn’t put this book down once I started and know everyone will feel the same.” –Aurora Rose Reynolds, New York Times bestselling author

“Kylie Scott proves once again why she is one of my auto-buy authors. Fake is an absolute delight . . . for every woman who wished her celebrity crush would fall madly in love with her. Fake is romance gold from one of the genre’s best!” – Naima Simone, USA Today bestselling author

"Grumpy, megastar hero whose rare smiles bring out all the warm and fuzzies, and the upbeat, every girl heroine he never saw coming." –Ally Blake

Norah, my hero.
5 Stars
Norah, my hero.
I've done a lot of reading in my time. Suspense, mystery, thriller, crime and romance. So it's safe to say that I've come across a lot of characters. Some I liked, some I didn't. Some I wanted to throw my Kindle at and some that made me want to hug my Kindle.Fake is one of those that made me want to hug my Kindle.Why?Well Norah and Patrick were written as grown ups. Norah especially. Of all the couples I've read in books I think this is the first time ever that I crushed more on the heroine than the hero.Norah was no nonsense, she means what she says and says what she means.Patrick also was there to oblige her. He needed someone like Norah to always tell what she is feeling and vise versa. Also, Kylie has the ability to make you fall for the side characters. In Fake is was all about Paddy and Norah. Sure, there were some great side characters, but they didn't steal the show.Thank you Kylie, you wrote about a couple who in other worlds would of kept us frustrated with kept secrets and insecurities. But instead we got a grown up couple who didn't need all that drama to be a super couple.

Sweet, charming, sexy, and entertaining with these lovable and endearing characters. I couldn’t put it down. One of the best fake relationship romances that I have read. This had me practically drooling with anticipation from one page to the next… The characters are fabulously crafted and somewhat complicated. I love good romance and this delivered from the first page to the last.

Patrick Walsh is a celebrity heart throb who is caught up in a scandal that just might ruin his career. So when they want him to have a fake relationship, he picks her.

Nora has been waiting on Patrick at her job at Little Italy for the last year and half, when he comes in about every month or so while they are closed for business. She hasn’t even really ever talked to him until the day he shows up after the scandal with a woman in tow trying to talk to him. When she delivers his meal he informs the lady he wants someone real like her. Little does she know that she is about to get a big payday and a new boyfriend to boot.

I loved these two coming together, as she moves into his mansion and starts playing the roll of a lifetime as his new girlfriend. Nora definitely doesn’t have to act, she is totally swooning for this hot, Hollywood heartthrob. Patrick and Nora are delicious together. Their personalities, their conversations, their chemistry… my my my! I was a goner, charmed, beyond words. This oozed heartfelt goodness. And gosh did I ever fall in love. Flawless from start to finish, with smart dialog, sizzling scenes and the perfect amount of sweet and tender moments.

“Just in case this all goes to he!! and I say the wrong thing and you never want to talk to me again. I enjoyed every moment with you.”

While looking for an audiobook to read, I found Fake by Kylie Scott in my library and realized I bought it on release day (or pre-ordered it) and never listened to it! I have really enjoyed the other books I have read by her, so I jumped right into Fake.

And Fake jumped right into the story. The meat of the story started quickly, the moment the book begins. There was not really any scene-setting or meeting the characters, but it totally worked here. We meet Norah, a curvy waitress who is supporting herself and paying for her grandmother’s care. She has served the movie star, Patrick, several times, and though she internally fangirls, she never shows it on the outside. When Patrick is involved in a scandal featuring his best friend’s wife, he needs to change his image and have a regular girlfriend. Or a fake one.

They have interviewed many candidates, but Patrick can’t imagine spending that much time with any of them. So when he is out to lunch with his publicist(?) and Norah serves him, he decides that she would be perfect for the part, because she is genuine and doesn’t swoon over him. While it’s not something Norah would normally do, the job would pay for her beloved gran to move into a much better home, which would make it all worth it.

I loved this drama and angst-free read! It’s a cinderella story that appeals to most women. It was quick, light and easy and the characters were all very likable.

Likes:
•I loved how Norah was just a regular girl.
•Told from only her POV. I like that for a change!
•It was a quick and easy read.
•I really loved all of the characters.
•The slow-burn build-up.

Dislikes:
•It ended abruptly.
•It felt very novella-like. It didn’t have a lot of meat to it.

The Narration:
And Arndt did a great job with this one! She always does, but I wasn’t sure she would fit this character as much. I needn’t have worried, she was fantastic, and I highly recommend the audiobook version of the story.

The Down & Dirty:
Fake by Kylie Scott may not be the most memorable read, but it is a perfect sweet and light story to check out between heavier books. It is a low-angst, every woman’s fantasy Cinderella story, and I hope to read more in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every woman’s fantasy come true!
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2021

This is the perfect “I dated a famous actor” fantasy. Or it would be if Norah were actually dating Patrick. I loved how despite the script they were supposed to follow they actually liked each others personalities. Norah was low-key but didn’t have trouble saying what was on her mind. This was something that Patrick wasn’t used to which made her unique. He on the other hand wasn’t anything like the characters he portrayed in the movies. He was quiet and a bit of a grump, so much so that each time he smiled Norah considered it a win.

I have come to love Kylie Scott’s stories. Even if some of them are kind of silly like the plot in Fake, the reader ends up going all in, loving the characters and rooting for them to find their happily happily. This novel was no different. It was a bit of light-hearted fun, with a side of serious. Enough that the conflict (albeit kind of a minor one in this plot) brought the reader to a conclusion where they were satisfied, at least that’s how I felt.

Despite the fantasy plot, or even maybe because of it, I can’t think of a thing I didn’t like about this novel. I loved the characters, plot, and how Patrick and Norah grew together over time. It was a fun book to read, perfect for a vacation getaway or a long drive listening to your audiobook. I can’t wait for the next West Hollywood novel!

Only in romance novels! This is such a cliché storyline but this author has made it work. That is what writing is all about and whether a nanny, babysitter or girl next door, if you have a good author it works. All the characters were good too. No nonsense women like Gran and granddaughter Norah as well as Mei.

I really loved this a lot!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best fake relationship ever turning into a real one
Reviewed in Germany on June 1, 2021
Verified Purchase
Fake, just let's fake a relationship to improve the Hollywood star reputation. You're in?

That's what happened to Norah when she was waitressing Hollywood star Patrick Walsh.

Everything seemed more than pleasant and she just said yes.

But what started as a fake relationship becomes more than real. 'Cause you can't control how you feel.

Opinion:
The relationship between Norah and Patrick just developed quite realistic. Norah is straight to earth and realized real quick that her five minutes of fame might be prejudicial for her further life but she's also loyal to all her beloved and to Patrick. Patrick realized by time that fame isn't everything and the real Problem by being an actor. He loves his job but now he knows that it will never be everything.

Conclusion:
I love this story and it was a page turner after all. I couldn't stop reading. Norah and Patrick have this amazing chemistry that blows everything away. A love like a fairytale.
