Don't Go Faking My Heart

A Friends to Lovers Sweet Romantic Comedy (Sweet as Sugar Maple, Book 4)

De: Kate Watson

Narrado por: Stephanie Rose, Logan Anare

It should be a match made in heaven, except she’s only attracted to jerks, and he’s a cinnamon roll…with burnt edges.

Ash:

I, Ashley Jane Moore, am a glorious disaster.

Listen, I like myself, but the men in my life typically don’t. Not my dad and certainly not my manipulative ex. The one exception is my best friend, Rusty. He’s the ultimate farm-boy-next-door, and he has a way of making me feel less disaster, more glorious.

We’d be perfect for each other if it weren’t for two things: he friend-zoned me instantly, and I only seem to go for jerks.

But when one of those jerks—the manipulative ex—comes back into my life to steal my heart and the account I’m working on, Rusty does the noble thing and pretends to be my boyfriend.

But we may be a little too convincing. Because the more we pretend, the more real it feels.

Rusty:

I had to kiss her.

It was the only way to protect the woman I love from her narcissistic ex, and she happily went along. And the longer we keep up the charade, the happier she seems.

I knew fake dating Ash would be torture, but I didn’t expect something even more excruciating to come from it: hope. Because as Ash and I play house, I get the sense she’s starting to see me differently.

As much as I want that, I can’t let her see too deeply. If she does, I’ll lose her forever.

Don’t Go Faking My Heart is a laugh-out-loud, dual POV, closed door romcom with sizzling chemistry, delicious banter, and mutual healing. It deals with themes of abuse, alcoholism, loss, and emotional manipulation while still being uplifting and having a happily-ever-after. Books in the Sweet as Sugar Maple series can be enjoyed in any order.

This book was absolutely amazing! This whole series is incredible! I can not decide which book I like best. This one might be my favorite. Rusty is such an amazing guy and the best book boyfriend you could ask for. Ash is such a quirky and fun girl. I love the two of them together! I love the continued found family throughout this series! Everything about this book and this series is perfect.
The narrators on the audiobook did a fantastic job! I could not believe my ears but there was music and singing in this audiobook and is was amazing! It was soo different and soo incredibly cool. It was such a great idea to have singing in the audiobook. I have listened to about 200 audiobooks and never once have I had this experience. It was very cool! I highly recommend this book and audiobook! I cant wait for the next audiobook in the series to be released so I can finish this series!
