FAKE LOVE by Jocelyne Soto (Maddox and Jen)

ABOUT THE BOOK

A home run straight to the heart.

I had everything going for me. 

Drafted right out of college. Signed a multimillion dollar contract. Slated to become a hall of famer. 

All my prospects were looking up… Until a diagnosis caused me to ruin everything.

It took me a season to destroy my career and now I have to work to repair it.

Step 1: Get clean.

Step 2: Show my new team that their investment isn’t a waste. 

Step 3: Find a woman and convince her to be my fake girlfriend and make my mom happy.

1 and 2, I got a handle on. Step 3 is turning out to be a lot harder than I thought

Finding a woman was a piece of cake, convincing her is a different story. 

Jen Zaragosa is hardheaded, feisty, and a pain in my behind. 

But even with her being all those things, I start to fall for her 

And hard. 

This started out as something to make my mom happy and it’s turning into me planning our future together.

Jen is my grand slam and there is nothing fake about it.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is book 2 in a series but easily stands alone. If you read the authors previous book, Worth Every Second, then you will remember Jen as the best friend to Selena. In this story Jen is paired with a new character I had not met before, Maddox.

Maddox is a baseball player who has had a really rough time.  He was a top baseball player when his mother got a Cancer diagnosis he spirals into drugs and after rehab and a massive game suspension he is then traded. He meets Jen when he comes to town to sign the contract and he has a very hot night with her.

When he starts in his new city, the team suggests that a girlfriend would help rehab his image, he decides that Jen would make an awesome fake girlfriend and so the fun begins for these two.

Jen and Maddox have this awesome and honest relationship that eventually turns into more and this is their story how they navigate this new set of feelings they have for each other.

This was mostly a really fun read. It's not light reading as there are some serious subjects that the two characters have to confront throughout the story. What I liked is that there is no ex-drama or romantic drama but rather I found that it read more like real life from Maddox's struggle with addiction to his mothers battle with Cancer and something that happens to Jen. None of these are easy fixes and I enjoyed seeing the characters confront those issues and become stronger together than alone.
