Faking the Game

Paradise Bay Billionaire Brothers, Book 1

By: Claudia Burgoa

Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Mackenzie Cartwright

From USA Today best-selling author Claudia Burgoa comes this page-turner fake-relationship-office romance.

What happens when the guy who’s afraid of love finds himself in it?

Know what they say about never mixing business with pleasure? Yeah, no.

The one about never sleeping with your boss?

I ignored it too.

I blame Aslan Spearman, the boss.

He’s a wealthy playboy who doesn’t believe in happily ever after.

He’s demanding, a workaholic, and cynical.

He’d rather have a root canal than be in a romantic relationship.

Do you want to know a secret? I think he’s afraid of love.

So when he has to go to the Spearman family reunion in Hawaii with his girlfriend, he’s in big trouble.

That’s what happens when you lie to your family about your relationship status.

It wasn’t important—until now.

What does he do?

He comes to me, his VP of Operations and right hand for assistance.

After all, I’m a problem solver.

Except my personal life is complete chaos.

So we make a deal. I’ll be his girlfriend if he helps me solve my problems.

It’s a win-win situation, right?

I mean, how hard can it be?

It’s not like I plan to fall in love.

Narrators Were Awesome

I really enjoyed this audiobook narrated by Jason Clark and McKenzie Cartwright. They both did a great job bringing Aslan and Keaton to life. The relationship between the two was complicated in the fact that Aslan was Keaton’s boss. They had developed a friendship through the years and had romantic feelings for each other, but they never admitted it. Aslan has to go to a huge family reunion, and he begs Keaton to be his fake girlfriend.

This type story has been done over and over again, but it’s still fun to read about their attraction and when they finally realize how much they mean to each other.

I enjoyed Claudia‘s books, but this one wasn’t really a comedy. I didn’t laugh at this one as much as I did her other audiobooks because it had more deeper problems. It was still very good and I do recommend it.

Faking the Game

Faking the Game kicks off a new series, but if you've read Claudia Burgoa before you may recognize some familiar names.

Aslan is a workaholic who says he doesn't believe in love. He also lied to his family about being in a relationship and they are expecting him to bring his girlfriend to the family reunion.

Keaton works for Aslan and takes care of her sister, too. She ends up being his fake girlfriend for the reunion. It was easy to see from the beginning that the 'fake' part of the relationship wouldn't last too long. They had lots of chemistry and a strong connection.

Claudia did a great job developing the characters and their relationship. This book has humor, sweet and swoony moments, and romance all wrapped up into a fun read!

outstanding narration made this a 5+ star listen!

How do you improve upon an already 5 star rated book?? You add 2 incredibly talented narrators like Jason Clarke and Mackenzie Cartwright. They brought Aslan and Keaton to life and made this audiobook even better (somehow!!) than the ebook!


Claudia has become a favorite author of mine for a reason. Each of her books are a mix of sweet, sexy and sometimes a little angsty. This book is that and more!

I loved Keaton and Aslan ( and the rest of the Spearman family).

You will laugh you butt off , swoon and even get all in your feels!

This was a great kickoff to a new series!!

4 1/2 stars. Enjoyed the narration and story

4 1/2 stars for me. I enjoyed this story. Keaton and Aslan were a power duo on the work front. Both had personal issues that were getting out of control. Keaton was trying to do the right thing for her family. Aslan was trying to avoid his mother. Circumstances pushed the two into a deal to help the other out. They tried to keep their hearts out of it, keep it business. Needless to say, things did not go smoothly. I was pulled into the story from the start, rooted for this duo, and had a couple moments of tears. Worth the read.

The narration of Jason Clarke and Mackenzie Cartwright made this story more enjoyable. I loved the inflections between the characters, by both narrators, as they showed the emotions of everyone.

Even Better In Audio

I loved reading this book so getting to listen to it brought to life by the talents of Jason Clarke & MacKenzie Cartwright made me love these characters even more. Aslan and Keaton are perfect together. Ms. Burgoa's books include humour, sibling banter, HEA and the importance of family.
