About this listen

I'll do anything not to marry the girl my parents want me to.

Including marrying her brother in a drunken panic.

I'm not gay, but I can fake it long enough to get our parents off my back, right?

Cue hiding out for the next two years, but nothing is that simple, because I'm offered a spot on the US National team.

Now we have to fake it for the entire world as the poster boys of gay fencers while Colin makes me doubt everything I think I am.

I'm not prepared for all the ways I depend on Colin. Or the place he's filling in my life.

But I can't keep this up.

I'm slipping on a national stage.

And he's going to press every button until I snap, ruining this for us both.

Sizzlingly Hot! 🔥🔥🔥

This book is incredible! I really enjoyed it and loved Collin and Owen. Their painful struggles with their awful parents was truly heartbreaking. This book is so well written describing all the personal hurts, fears, scars and insecurities these two guys faced and managed to work through together. A beautiful love story. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Story of Owen and Colin

This is a fake husband to more romance, featuring Owen and Colin, and is book two in the New York Gods series.

Owen and Colin have known each other for a long time as their parents run in the same circles and they had attended the same university together. When both their parents try to arrange a marriage between Owen and Colin’s teenage sister, Owen takes off to Las Vegas to escape. Colin follows him and after a brief argument, they try and come up with a plan to stop the marriage. They got drunk and woke up with a solution, apparently they had gotten married to each other.

This was a great read. It was very different to the first book but equally funny in parts, entertaining, spicy and emotional, and I devoured it. It was a little slow to begin with but it needed it in order for Owen and Colin to develop their relationship.

Owen and Colin were so sweet and raunchy together. Wow, Owen being so quiet with everyone else but then unleashes in the bedroom. I also loved the transition of their relationship as the story progressed and how close they ended up.

Colin and his constant banter with Oliver was extremely entertaining, that guy was so quick with his responses to rile up Oliver.

I liked how Colin brought Owen out of his shell and helped him discover new parts of himself and I liked Owen loved Colin for who he was and didn’t try to change him. They were both a little broken, which makes me like them even more.

Side note, I am loving the covers of this series, seriously gorgeous.

Things to expect in this book are:
Book 2 in series
MM romance
Fake husband to more
Woke up married
Codependent twins
Bi awakening
Exploration
Spicy times & dirty talk
Jealous & Possessive vibes
Calls him Princess
Catching / Avoiding feelings
Slight mis-communication
Horrible parents
Hurt / Comfort
HEA
