Max Tremblay should be happy. His nightclub, Frantic, is one of the most popular gay clubs in Toronto, and his childhood refuge, Ringside Gym, is well on the way to reopening. But when he finds yet another drunk in the alley beside the bar, Max isn’t sure this is the life he truly wants.
Grady Barnes has it all. He’s rich, famous, and wants for nothing. Well, nothing but a good relationship with his father. When he discovers that his father is going to force him into an arranged marriage, Grady has had enough. He tracks down Max, the man who got him to safety after a night of overindulgence, and makes him a proposal: pretend to be his fiancé for two weeks and he’ll invest in Ringside Gym.
When the pair travel to Vancouver to attend a family wedding, the flames of their mutual attraction ignite, and they discover that the only difference between pretend and reality is how well they can fake it.

Faking It is a fun fake fiance story. I love these stories - the couples in question are always to clueless and while the stories are often predictable, I find comfort in them. And their silliness. I hadn't read Working It, when I grabbed Faking It, but they can be read as standalones. Max and Grady come together at a time when they are both are examining their lives and finding them wanting. Grady's got some angst, but together he and Max find something worth fighting for.
Faking It is an entertaining story. It's not my favorite in the Ringside Series, but definitely enjoyable. Making It is my favorite. I love that book so much. Book 3 - Making It released last week, you should check it out while you are at it.
