FAKING IT by K. Bromberg: Blog Tour, Excerpt, Teaser & Mary’s Review
Faking It never felt so good in this red-hot new standalone by New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg–available now!
Zane Phillips mistook me for his dog walker. It shouldn’t surprise me that the man with a suit more expensive than my rent would assume that I was there to serve him. The positive? I put him in his place. The negative? I missed my job interview because of it. Now I find out he’s a rich Australian entrepreneur, and he wants to make up for tanking my interview.
Yes, he’s impossibly hot – but he’s also an arrogant jackass – so…no thanks.
But after a little white lie I tell spirals out of control, I’m somehow offered the chance to play Zane’s girlfriend to help promote his new dating website – and the best part? He can’t say no because he’ll get caught in his lie, too.
Little did I know this would entail sharing a tour bus with him for the next few months. The fact that the bus has just one bed isn’t the most ideal of circumstances, but this spokesperson gig might be the kick in the pants my career needs, so why not take a chance?
Famous last words.
Now I’m crisscrossing the country – and sharing that bed – with the one guy I can’t stand. And even worse, my traitorous body is wondering at every turn what it’s like to be down under the gorgeous Australian. But as the miles unfurl, so does our passion…and if I’m not careful, I might end up believing that fairy tales really do come true.

Excerpt:
“I have connections.” Brilliant, Zane. Fucking brilliant. That’s how you get her to not run away from you? By giving her a sleazy line? “Maybe I could help you find something.”
“I couldn’t care less about your connections.” She hangs her head and when she lifts it, I watch her reign in the pride I feel like a dick for bruising. “I’m sorry. That was rude. Like I said, thank you.” She holds up the papers and offers a reticent smile.
“Look . . .” I take a step toward her, more than aware that I don’t want her to go just yet and questioning why I’m even bringing this up. “I have an event I’m holding at the end of the week. You should come. I could introduce you to some people. There might be some job opportunities there.”
“Thanks, but no thanks. I’m not that kind of girl.” The roll of her eyes has me realizing how she took my comment.
My laugh makes my dog lift her head. “That’s not exactly what I meant, Harlow. I run a matchmaking website, not an escort service.”
“Good to know. So basically that means you cherry pick the women you want to date after you scope out all their information. I assure you now I can sleep better at night knowing this.”
“You’re exhausting.” And she is, but in the most fascinating of ways.
“You’re one to talk.” She crosses her arms over her chest and lifts her eyebrows.
I hold my hands up. “All I was trying to say is connections matter in this town. You and I both know that. My event . . . there is going to be a lot of people there. Industry people,” I say more than aware I just let it slip that I looked her up and know she works in the industry.
“Good. Great. Can you go now?”
But there’s a crack of a smile on her face. A chink in her defensive armor that tells me I’m getting somewhere.
“You have to take opportunities when they present themselves.” She doesn’t say anything but the slight smile remains. “Zane Phillips. Nice to meet you.” I stick my hand out. She looks down at it and nods but doesn’t shake it.
God, she’s stubborn.
And damn gorgeous.
“And you’re Harlow Nicks.”
“Considering you had my electric bill, I guess that means you know how to read.”
“I do.” I nod. “And I also have your email address from your interview paperwork.”
“Should I worry that you’re stalking me?”
I shake my head and sigh. “I’ll email you the information about the party—”
“—don’t bother—”
“—it’s on Friday night. Cocktail attire. Lots of networking.”
“I won’t read it.”
I flash a megawatt smile at her and then turn to walk away. “Yes, you will.”
And she will.
It’s rare that a woman resists me. She’s trying but I’ll win in the end. It just seems for the time being that I have my work cut out for me.
I’m a man who always has an end goal in mind. Always.
There’s no point in setting a goal if you don’t plan on smashing it.
Question is, what in the hell am I aiming for when it comes to Harlow Nicks?
MARY’S 5 STAR REVIEW

First things first… I LOVED Faking It!!
Faking It is one of those books you just can’t put down, so I happily spent my Sunday devouring Kristy’s words. And OMGosh did this book own it all!! Mistaken identities, humor, angst, lies, lust, more lies and some unforgettably steamy hot times too. A fantastic, slow burn story with lots of heat. When Zane Phillips, Aussie entrepreneur, wealthy business man, and showcasing his arrogance mistakes Harlow Nicks for his new dog walker. A stunned Harlow takes the leash as Zane walks away and does what anyone who loves dogs would have done, she walks the dog. Leaving her wondering WTH just happened? Never mind that this out of work model is missing a job interview that could be her next big thing. Or that she broke the heel off her favorite pair of shoes. You better believe this feisty, bombshell most certainly sets Zane straight!! Telling him not only that she was NOT the dog walker but that she also missed her interview in the building as a result of his actions! But what happens when this over the top arrogant, hot as hell Aussie tries to rectify his mistake? Not only does he find Harlow, he also brings her a pair of Louboutin heels. Not only does he try to make up for her missed interview, but he invites her to his kickoff party for his newest business, SoulM8, an online dating site. It’s at this event that Harlow gets even with Zane! Thanks to her new friend Robert, who is a silent partner with Zane, she seizes the moment to pile lie upon lie. Not only does she outsmart Zane, but she secures the position of being his “fake” girlfriend. A girlfriend that he met on SoulM8, the girlfriend that he will spend the next 8 weeks traveling across the country together on a bus. It’s on this bus tour that lines begin to get blurred. Where the acting begins to get real, when Zane and Harlow’s sharing a bed consummates the lies. Lies that have opened the door to real passion, to real sweetness and lust for something more. Be prepared to swoon, ‘cause Zane is totally gonna steal your heart with his panty melting sweetness!! Yet what happens when Mr. Doesn’t Do Relationships and Harlow approach the end of the tour? When feelings are laid on the line? Will the “fake” time together be the end of Zane and Harlow? You don’t want to miss Faking It, this is indisputably Bromberg at her BEST!! |
