Book Review: Faking the Pass by Tru Taylor

 I have chosen Faking the Pass by Tru Taylor to review. 

I received an ARC copy of the e-book for an honest review of this book.

---------------------------------------------------
Here is a brief description from Goodreads:
Fake marry the smokin’ hot NFL quarterback who dumped me in high school? Hard pass.

…Or it would be, if my Hollywood disaster of an ex-fiancé wasn’t trying to destroy my career—and bankrupt me in the process.

Cue Presley Lowe.
Big-time quarterback. Bigger ego. Even bigger... contract.

The boy who shattered my heart, then dared to somehow get even hotter with age.
He says a fake marriage will solve both our problems.
I say he’s lost his mind.

But I’m broke, backed into a corner, and out of options.
So now I’m wearing Presley’s ring, taking couple-selfies, and sleeping one wall away from the man who gave me my first heartbreak—and my last good kiss.

I pretend not to notice when he walks around shirtless.
He pretends he doesn’t remember exactly how I like to be kissed.
We’re both lying.

But it’s all temporary. Totally fake.
Right?

So why does every look he gives me scream "mine"?

And why am I starting to feel like there’s nothing I wouldn’t give to keep hearing him say, "my wife"?

What happens when your fake husband is also the boy you never got over?

TROPES:
Fake Marriage
NFL Quarterback Hero/ high school ex
First love, second chance
Runaway Bride
One Bed / Forced Proximity
Tight-knit family of football-playing brothers
Hollywood Scandal
Swoon-worthy, heartfelt, slow burn romance

Faking the Pass is a fun and flirty small-town sports romcom perfect for readers of feel-good romance with big banter, steamy tension, irresistible ex-boyfriends, and marriage of convenience forced-proximity fun with emotional depth and just the right amount of heat.
---------------------------------------------------

First book in the Lowe Bros series.  I read the first 40% in 1 setting. So very good. Presley and Rosie are very adorable.  The one that got away.  Second chance to find that happiness we all want!

I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
CAWFILE: 9.43
