Faking It
by Cora Carmack
Re-Read from 04.13.15 - 04.14.15. Upgraded review to five stars.
This is my FAVORITE Cora Carmack. I'm sticking with my embarrassment of the title and cover, but holy gee this is a steamy, sexy AND sweet story. I love that this is a "New Adult" not tied up with drugs, rape, and violence. I love that Max ditches her shitty boyfriend to be with Cade that the drama in the story isn't dependent on lies. Both characters tell the truth, which is why there is tension. And oh the glorious tension. PLUS, the characters really like each other and get to know each other. The build up is realistic (which makes it hotter) and the chemistry feels real. AND they laugh together. So important. Bravo.
My favorite lines:
[She] had been exactly what I thought I'd wanted. A friendship evolved into something more. Loving and kind. Sweet and safe. Max scared me shitless. And it was much better.
He fixed his eyes on me, and desire outweighed my fears. The way he looked at me made my skin sing with electricity. It wasn't just that he made me feel attractive. Any guy on the street with wandering eyes...could do that. He made me feel...special, which sounded so damn cheesy that I could choke...He made me feel like the melody instead of the accompaniment.
I'll take my chances against your fickle heart if it means it's mine.
Despite the terrible title and cover, this was a super sweet and fun story. Max is a tattooed badass rock singer who is trying to forget her older sister's death, and Cade is the nice boy who coaches inner city youth in acting and has a broken heart over the girl who got away. When Max's super judgmental parents come to town, she enlists Cade as her pretend boyfriend. Sparks fly, but will Max's hang-ups kill any chance at a real relationship?
