Publisher's Summary

I’ve made a lot of dumb mistakes but none dumber than losing her.

Senior year. I should be partying and living it up with my friends before graduation, but one more mistake and I’m off the team.

Enter Chloe. She comes into my life at a low point, but she becomes the bright spot I reach for every day. She’s the kind of girl who makes a guy want to be a better man. And for a while, I even start to believe I’ve changed enough to deserve her.

I’ve got my eye on the future, and I’m letting my past stay where it belongs.

But the thing about the past...it always comes back to bite you when you least expect it.

Loved Nathan and Chloe!

Another great addition to the Smart Jocks series, I've thoroughly enjoyed listening to all four books from beginning to end!
I love a good sport's romance and this was a real win for me, Nathan's story is sweet and fun but also has a bit of an emotional edge. Chloe is going through her own drama being a transfer and was the perfect match for Nathan Payne.
Jason Clarke A++++++ every time!

really enjoyed listening to this series

The author of this series was a new to me author before I started reading The Assist (Smart Jocks #1), and I'm glad I came across her as I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to the 4 books across the series. I started off reading them, and then as they all have fabulous narrators I went back to the start and listened to all of the audio versions.

The Fake is finally Nathan's story. Nathan is the jock whose character basically screamed that he was having some type of serious issues in the previous books- always partying hard, and writing himself off. As a talented athlete, he somehow managed to juggle his basketball responsibilities with his party hard lifestyle. He's a good guy that is making poor choices, and his past actions catch up to him in The Fake.

Chloe is a new character that is introduced in this book - she is starting afresh, but finds herself ostracised by her new teammates due to a scandal that she herself had no knowledge of/or responsibility for. She was the easy target for other people's scorn and judgement. The title makes it obvious what happens here - Chloe and Nathan start a fake relationship, keeping up appearances allows them to really get to know each other and for their chemistry and feelings to build. Loved the drama towards the end, and the pressure it puts on their newly found relationship. Fingers crossed for more stories on the other jocks.

Redemption is for all

Nathan sure has had it hard since the death of his dad and stepping up to be the man of the house. choices were made that his conscience rejects but to feed his family he had to, when hope comes his way he clutches his with both hands but fumbles things a little. But I love the redeeming qualities this story puts forth. life is hard but taking a way outs chance when presented can turn things around and pull out of a deep hell hole and these two deserved it.
