Fake Skating

De: Lynn Painter

Narrado por: Aidan Bissett, Saylor Bell Curda

A New York Times bestseller!

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Better Than the Movies Lynn Painter comes a heartfelt and banter-filled rom-com about childhood sweethearts whose icy reunion in their hockey-loving hometown unexpectedly thaws when they fake a romantic relationship.

Growing up, Dani couldn’t help but follow around the adorable son of her mom’s best friend. Funny, kind of nerdy, and a little soft, Alec was always down to hang with Dani when they were little. From play dates on the playground to sneaking into movie theaters, Dani and Alec were inseparable. Until Dani moved away. Alec promised they’d stay in touch—except, they didn’t.

Flash forward and Dani is back in Minnesota for her senior year, she and her mom living with her grandfather. Dealing with the fallout of her parents’ devastating divorce, Dani wouldn’t mind a nerd-out with the cozy and comforting Alec (and maybe a chance to confront him on his MIA status for all these years). But teenage Alec is nothing like the kid Dani remembers. He’s a hockey star in a town where hockey players are worshiped as gods. Dani’s place as his shadow has been taken up by drooling female fans…and he loves it.

Dani is resolved to ice out her former best friend until an unlikely series of events brings them together—and forces them to fake being a couple. Once forced together, the former childhood sweethearts begin to reconnect, unearth complicated family secrets, and face their true feelings towards each other…including the real reason Alec has been pushing Dani away all these years.

slow burn

it's a great love story about 2 people growing up and falling in love

Oh Lynn

Lynn gave us a teen romance of fake dating set in Minnesota on a hockey rink and she’s literally giving everything!! Found home, small town charm, all the MN places - adored!!

I'm a 50 year old Midwestern male, and LOVED this book!!!

A great listen!.. I downloaded this as a last minute Audible suggestion as the plan I was on was about to take off... I am so glad I did! I'm going to have to seek out more books like this now.

Captured and explained, the Midwest hockey family as well as anyone else could. Amazing character building that made me fall in love with the two MCs.. A great Can't Buy Me Love style story that actually had my eyes water more than onece (kind of had to hide that on a plane btw).. Good closure at the end that doesn't leave you wishing you knew more. As soon as I submit this review I will be checking out the authors other books.

Super cute story!

Another cute story from Lynn Painter! A childhood friends to lovers/second chance story. The miscommunication the whole story was based on was a little rough considering one 5 minute conversation could have cleared it all up (as per usual), but I still really enjoyed seeing them get to know each other as young adults.

EVERYTHING
