Faking It with the Forward

Wittmore U Hockey

By: Angel Lawson

Narrated by: Lula Larkin

What happens when the captain of the hockey team kisses you in front of his ex?

Things get awkward.

What happens when he asks you to be his fake girlfriend?

Things get complicated.

In the high-pressure world of varsity hockey at Wittmore U, being the team intern means more than overseeing grueling workouts and injuries. It's the colossal egos of the players that truly test my patience. Even if they did see me as something more than another locker room fixture created to tend to their bodies, my boss has made one thing clear:

I’m off limits.

All of that changes in a heartbeat when Reese Cain, the team's womanizing captain, plants a surprise kiss on me in the campus coffee shop. Suddenly, I’m thrust into the spotlight, and not for my awkward charm. The captain, it seems, has ulterior motives—he needs to stay focused on the season, while convincing his ex that he's not available. Apparently, I’m the perfect pawn in his game.

For someone who's more comfortable in hoodies than house parties, fake dating Reese is enough to bolster both my confidence and social status. But the longer we keep up the charade, and our barriers start to crumble, it’s hard to know what’s real and what’s fake.

Especially how good he makes it feel to belong to him.

Faking It with the Forward is a stand-alone, m/f, college, hockey, fake dating romance by best-selling author, Angel Lawson.

great!

5 stars for everything! Kept me engaged the entire time! if I could give more than 5 stars it would be for the narration

Hockey romance ? Yes please

I enjoyed the book so much. I think the only thing I would change would have been dual narration .

Classic hockey romance

I love Angel Lawson as an author have read basically all her stuff but somehow totally missed this series! I feel like I kept waiting for the “dark” IYKYK which didn’t actually come but the story was so fun and entertaining! It was refreshing, characters were developed well and while this was a classic hockey romance Angel managed to make it something of her own! I’d for sure recommend this book!

🏒🔥

I love Hockey and Romance! Definitely worth the read! Has some spice and really seemed so relatable to me I absolutely loved this book!

So good!

I love a good fake dating story and this one definitely hit the spot.
There is great character depth and development. I even got invested in the side characters. Loved seeing the main characters learn about each other and finding that they mesh in ways they weren’t expecting.

As for the audio- I was really impressed and loved her performance. Did a great job on the male and female roles and on showing their emotions.

Overall I’d definitely recommend
