RELEASE BLITZ REVIEW: Faked by Karla Sorensen

Title: Faked

Author: Karla Sorensen

Genre: Sports Romance

Release Date: June 16, 2020

Every action has a consequence, and Claire Ward knows it. And yet, even knowing that her decision to swap places with her identical twin sister, Lia, for a night could be disastrous, she still does it.

Why? 

Because it will give her an evening with the man she’s been crushing on for years, Lia’s best friend, Finn. 

Miss Straight A Student has thought through all the angles, and knows the risk is worth it. And everything would have been fine, if Finn had been the one to show up at her door. 

But it wasn’t. 

Bauer Davis— Finn’s half brother and his exact opposite in just about every definable category is the one waiting for her instead. A professional snowboarder, Bauer is covered in ink, full of attitude, and has a chip on his shoulder the size of Mt. Olympus. The kind of bad boy that Claire has never been attracted to before. 

Now the good girl is with the wrong brother for a night, and when the consequence is that they have to pretend to be together for an event, it’s nothing she could have predicted. But maybe, just maybe, what makes Bauer so bad, is exactly what Claire needs.

Well, let’s see ... I’m a wife and a mother. If the things that I write bring a smile to someone's face, then I've done my job. I am obsessed with Outlander (both the books and the show). I’m almost exclusively a romance reader, which means some people will never consider me a literary snob. If I could meet one historical figure, it would be Jane Austen. I received my Bachelors in Public Relations and worked in health care marketing before I had my babies. I hate Twitter. I do it, but I hate it. Also, if you want to get on my good side, bring me wine and I'll love you forever.

Lia's Review

I’ve loved getting to know the Ward family and have been waiting on pins and needles for each of the sisters' books. It’s been a long time since I’ve read a good twin swap trope. So I couldn’t wait to dive into this one. 

Let me just say, Bauer is smoking hot, and sweet, and sensitive. He checks all my boxes. Claire was just the right amount of tough and insecure. However the relationship seemed uber rushed. The conflict was a tad superficial. I did like this story, I would’ve just liked some more build to their relationship. Five days is too insta-lovey for me. 

There was a good sneak peek for Lia’s book at the end of Faked, so I’m super stoked for that. I just wanted a bit more development in this story, but I liked it.
