He needs a fiancee. I need a story.
But my heart still hurts.

And his whole single dad thing is making me hear wedding bells.
His offer is irresistible.
The benefits far outweigh my heartache.
Ugh, fine. I’ll play the sweet fiancée.

But his hugs don’t feel fake. His touch lingers a little too long.
New York’s most eligible surgeon isn’t just testing my boundaries.
He’s cut a hole in the border fence and stormed right through.
I have thirty days to convince myself it’s not love.
Four weeks to get over him.
One month before he pops the big question…

When does fake become real and then what happens???
This is a second chance at romance story. I am not sure what the title of the book is as when I obtained it it was Not So Fake but it appears to have been changed to Faking for Single Daddy. But in any case this is an entertaining story about Max and Naomi. They were high school sweethearts before he moved away without saying a word to her. Now it is ten years later and they are both successful in their careers. She is a journalist for a magazine and he is a successful doctor and single father. They reconnect when Naomi interviews Max for an article. He somehow talks her into agreeing to be his fake fiancee for a month so that he can get a promotion he is up for, as it would look better to the management. The only problem is that their chemistry is still really strong and she falls for his very adorable son. So when does fake become real as the line between them blurs?
This is a sweet and fun story that is fast-paced and has two likeable main characters. They relate to each other well but there is still drama, suspense and a nice amount of hot and steamy.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Naomi and Max have a history from when they were in high school. Things ended between them when Max left and now years later they run into each other. Naomi is doing an article and Max is to be included in it. Max is up for a promotion but it looks like his chance aren’t that good because of him being single. So he asks Naomi if she’ll pretend to be his fiancé until he gets the promotion. However what neither counted on was for old feelings to resurface. What happens when reals feeling become involved with his fake plans? Can they be together for real?
This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is sizzling hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Lost Love Found
Running into a high school friend is never a predictable experience, especially if some time has passed. Sometimes, there is little or no memory of the earlier relationship, only a vague flicker of recognition and recollection; on a few rare occasions, however, there is connection, a thread of something that despite the years of silence and distance, connects the past and the present with an energy that sparks as if no time has passed.
When Naomi Grace, writer for New York Insider, began her series of profiles of the rich, attractive bachelors of NYC, she knew thirty-one-year-old Max Stone’s name would be on the list—the handsome heart surgeon with a playboy reputation would be perfect for the series. But, she had many names to profile, and his was just one of many, until his name was moved by request of hospital’s COO to the front of the line. None of this would be a problem if the Max Stone of her high school days had not been the young love who had turned her world upside down, the boy who had taken her innocence and broken her heart and then vanished.
Max Stone has a reputation, and he knows it—he was present and aware as the reputation was being created. But now, he is older, wiser and single parent to five-year-old, Hunter. Max has changed, but the world hasn’t gotten the message, and it is beginning to impact his work and his life. Female patients seek more from him than his offer of medical attention. And now, he is in the running for the chief of surgery at his hospital, and his reviewing committee is split on his appointment. So, when the COO arranges for him to participate in an interview with a writer from a local magazine, he is afraid that his playboy image will be showcased. But, with the unexpected reappearance of high school girl friend as the interviewer, he has a new plan. What he really needs to reform his image is not another profile. What he needs is a wife, and if that candidate for the position of wife is his high school sweetheart? Well, the narrative of lost love found is a winner! But life is full of complications, and one very real complication is 5 years old who looks like Max’s mini-me. How can Max nuance his new fiancé’s existence in his life without exposing his son to a lie?
Avery Edwards has crafted a fast-paced, second chance romance packed with engaging characters who touch the reader’s heart. She examines important issues, exploring what role a parent plays in shaping his child’s future and how that involvement impacts the parent-child relationship, and in turn, how the parent-child relationship impacts other relationships, even a romantic relationship. Framing such significant topics within a romance allows the reader to engage not only the head, but also the heart in the reading experience. Faking for Single Daddy encourages the reader to consider what is really important in life.

Surgeon Max is getting lots of bad press about his single lifestyle and the hospital board wants him to settle down or no promotion. Noami is a journalist asked to write a more positive article to help him. But he and Noami dated in high school and have some history to work through. The plot is two fold the relationship between them and the professional rivalry between Max and his coworker. I enjoyed this story. It is more than a romance with very good characters and storyline.

I always enjoy an author who can write dual point of view romances and make them seem real. With this doctor and journalist mash up, as well as a second chance rekindling of romance, I had to read this straight through!

Maxwell Stone is one of the top cardiac surgeons in the country and he’s in the running to become chief surgeon at his hospital. He has a reputation as a wild playboy and it’s not the image the board wants to convey to the public. His friend and colleague, Ted, suggests that he settle down, find a wife and the board might be more inclined to view him more favorably for the position. He has 30 days to prove that he’s deserving of their offer. Naomi Grace is a writer for the New York Insider and she has been assigned to write a piece that focuses on uncovering the truth of New York’s most elite and Maxwell Stone is her subject. In high school, he and Naomi had something special but, one day, Max simply disappeared without a word. She was heartbroken because she really loved him. Now, here he is again, in the flesh and she doesn’t know how to feel. She’s drawn to him but she’s trying to fight it. He hurt her once and he’ll do it again. Max can’t believe that this is the girl he knew back in Hemswood. They were friends, more than friends, and she’d be perfect as his fiancee. He sells her on the idea, but there are rules. It’s not as easy as it sounds to show the world that they’re a couple because neither of them can forget that there’s an expiration date. There are people who want them to fail, who are trying to damage Max’s reputation even more, and are trying to ruin Naomi’s reputation. They would handle it better if they didn’t spend so much time in their own heads, arguing about what the other person needs and wants. I didn’t like the character of Will Brandon and his story line was a little disconnected. Overall, Not So Fake has a good premise and the the H, h and Hunter are believable and likeable. Cute story!
Max is a single dad and successful surgeon who needs a fake fiancée and Naomi comes to mind. This is a well written story which has drama, emotion, unexpected twists, heartbreak, and undeniable chemistry which all lead to an entertaining and steamy read. I was hooked throughout this riveting tale and I highly recommend for all.

This is my first book by Avery Edwards and it will not be my last!
It was easy to fall in love with Max and Naomi… and Hunter, too! The story was a quick, cute romance with a HEA. Max and Naomi had to overcome many obstacles (and villains!) to find their way.
*Sometimes I felt like details were missing, but the story just doesn’t have any unnecessary fluff.

Max is a surgeon who is in need of a fake girlfriend. Naomi fits the bill nicely although she is unsure of her feelings and as time goes on, those becomes even more cloudy. This book was very well written, fun and sassy, yet steamy and tense. Max and Naomi had all the right chemistry, and could not help keeping their hands off each other, enticing the romance until the relationship. Like most love affairs, its never smooth sailing. Such a great book and had me feeling good at the end.

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this story about Max and Naomi. He’s a star surgeon and single dad. But he’s lives a Playboy life. The hospital board summons him about the chance at chief surgeon but he needs to clean his act up. Naomi is called to do an interview of Max to help with his image. But when they see each other, they both remember how they left things. They dated in HS but he up and left her without any reason. Now he sees a chance to fix his image and spend time with her. A fix for both of them or do they hope, a fake engagement. Neither plan on having feelings getting involved. But do they ever. Great HEA in the end.
