Faking The Game

His book was disappointing. From the description it sounds like a good read, but it’s lame. Aslan is a very underdeveloped character and Keaton is just blah. The author expects you to believe these two are workaholic power people? It’s not there! Aslan sounds more like a frat boy and Keaton is just … well, blah. No other way to describe her. The secondary characters are not memorable except for Savannah who was a disrespectful child with no appeal either. For a free book, it was okay. I wouldn’t pay for it and won’t be reading any of the other books.

I couldn’t put it down. Lived the characters, great story line

Aslan and Keaton are such entertaining characters! Funny most of the time, yet poignant in others, they keep you from being able to put this book down.

The plot is good and the characters are relatable. The way it played out wasn’t. They both have major relational issues but hers were ones that were never truly dealt with. He did all the ‘screwing up’ and making up and she didn’t have to change or apologize or even acknowledge her issues. He had to do it all. I’m all for a good romance and flawed man figuring out his faults and changing in a story, but this one screamed I’m the woman and I have issues but I don’t care to address them or change and you have issues but you better deal with them and change or I’m out. Even the sister tried to get her to deal with her issues in her young, less mature personality and it was just glossed over and ignored. But hey, at least everyone got their HEA…

Ok read; not the best by this author but ok. I found the beginning a fast read than it slowed to practically a stop.

Wow I loved this book the interaction between this family is fantastic and Aslan falling in love with Keaton is so heartwarming. I couldn’t put this book down it caught me from the start . Looking forward to the next books in the series .

Aslan (he’s the guy) creates a fake girlfriend so he can be a shallow player (pass). He’s got issues. So does Keaton (his employee, friend and fellow hot mess). They strike a deal so she can attend his family reunion in Hawaii. Faking it til it’s real…

Claudia Burgoa is the queen of family sagas! Every time I read Claudia Burgoa’s family romance books, I know I am in for an emotional rollercoaster and the story will be salacious with an engrossing love story and interesting plots. FAKING THE GAME is the first book in the Paradise Bay series. This story is fun, witty banter, embarrassing hilarious situations, and moments of heartbreak. And the characters? OMG! I found myself at times laughing and other times swooning over the very handsome, tall, demanding, and sexy Aslan Spearman. Aslan Spearman is the triplet brother of Gatsby and Lysander, and he has other brothers and sisters who were thoroughly entertaining. This is Aslan Spearman and Keaton Nealy’s story. Aslan is a billionaire who is a playboy, most eligible bachelor in San Francisco, workaholic, cynical, the CEO of Spearman LP, and don’t want a committed relationship. There is a reason why after what he went through, but actually he is very charismatic, charming, uses facetious remarks, and definitely not ready to fall in love. Keaton is very smart, VP of Operations for Spearman LP and confidant to Aslan, but she has family problems of her own and no time for a love life. Aslan’s mother is constantly badgering him about getting married. His mother Dawn is a real hoot! The Spearman’s are having a family reunion in Hawaii, and Aslan HAS to attend with his factitious girlfriend. So he asks Keaton to be his fake girlfriend. With the plan hatched, it will be fake kisses and touches in front of the family and the rules are no sex! But will it lead to very real and sexy times in the bedroom? That’s what they agreed to, so why does it feel so real? Their relationship isn’t real, but what happens when the lines become blurred and you don’t know what is true and what is false? Could what Keaton and Aslan share turn into something real? Or is it all actually…fake? Well, read this amazing story. This slow building romance is packed with so much sexual tension, and the book left me wonderfully content at its conclusion. I absolutely LOVED this couple! Claudia Burgoa seamlessly blended lightness with tension and just the right amount of angst.

Aslan is billionaire who has never found love before. His mother talked to him about not having a girlfriend to take to the family reunion. He asked VP of Operation Keaton to be his fake girlfriend . The two match up because they kind of have the hots for each other. Can fake when you already like turn in the real thing . Check out and see what will happen next Edit

Every new series by Claudia Burgoa is always soooo good! I am already loving these new Spearman’s and it’s only just started. This book is so much fun. I loved the banter and the connection. I loved how everyone feels like family even when they’re not blood related. On a CB angst scale, this one is pretty light but there’s still some because it wouldn’t be CB if there was none. I’m so excited to get to know this family more!
