From USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Claudia Burgoa comes this page-turner fake-relationship-office romance.
What happens when the guy who’s afraid of love finds himself in it?

Know what they say about never mixing business with pleasure? Yeah, no.
The one about never sleeping with your boss?
I ignored it too.
I blame Aslan Spearman, the boss.
He’s a wealthy playboy who doesn’t believe in happily ever after.
He’s demanding, a workaholic, and cynical.
He’d rather have a root canal than be in a romantic relationship.
Do you want to know a secret? I think he’s afraid of love.
So when he has to go to the Spearman family reunion in Hawaii with his girlfriend, he’s in big trouble.
That’s what happens when you lie to your family about your relationship status.
It wasn’t important—until now.
What does he do?
He comes to me, his VP of Operations and right hand for assistance.
After all, I’m a problem solver.
Except my personal life is complete chaos.
So we make a deal. I’ll be his girlfriend if he helps me solve my problems.
It’s a win-win situation, right?
I mean, how hard can it be?
It’s not like I plan to fall in love.

Loving that we are getting more of the Spearman Family
We are heading back to the Spearman Family, just a different branch of it, and I absolutely love it! This can be read seprately if you haven't read that series before but if you have you'll love seeing some familiar faces and how their lives have progressed since we've seen them last.Aslan Spearman is lying to his mother and has been for the last year, only now it's catching up to him since the family reunion is coming up in a few weeks and there's no reason he shouldn't bring his girlfriend that he's been dating for a year to it...only he really hasn't been dating anyone he just told his mom that so she would stop bothering him about his personal life and the fact that he works to much.Keaton works for Aslan and is his VP of Operations, his right hand, his problem solver. So who better than her to help him out of this situation, and the fact that he's attracted to her can only help sell the fake relationship, right? I loved Keaton, she is a strong woman that had to deal with a lot, and now she finds herself behind the eight ball and that's not a good place to be. So even though she's very hesitant about this crazy proposal Aslan is offering...maybe just maybe it can help her out of the spot she has currently found herself in.I love the chemistry between Keaton and Aslan. They have a solid working relationship but they also have a friendship of sorts as well, how many people can say that they are friends with their boss and don't mind working 10+ hours a day with them...not many so that should tell you something shouldn't it.I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys Steamy Contemporary Romances, Large Family Romances, Office Romances, or the Fake Relationship Trope.Happy Reading!!!

Aslan and Keaton work together and when there is going to be a wedding in Hawaii for one of his cousins, Aslan begs Keaton to be his fake girlfriend. They both work together for so long that they don’t realize how perfect they are for each other, and until this little scenario presents an opportunity for them to get romantic with each other, they were both oblivious to those feelings. But being on the island together, they quickly learn that they do have feelings for each other and are attracted to each other. Can they each get over their own hangups and make a relationship work together? You’ll have to read to find out.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There are so many family members, brothers, sisters, cousins and in-laws, it was a bit hard to keep track. And they all had odd names. Basic story was good and liked the H and h but I did find myself skimming as it felt predictable.

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2023

This is the Spearman family series focusing first on Aslan (the family has interestingly unique names). He is current CEO of the family business, although mom does seem to be able to fire him maybe? He has not been in a relationship for over a decade cause near family death his then girlfriend cheated on him and married a cousin. Now he has to do a family vacation in Hawaii and needs to turn his ‘pretend’ girlfriend into a real one … and who better than Keaton, his VP of Operations. Alas, her mom’s medical care has her secretly living on next to nothing to pay for it. She also has a spoiled brat sister (both of those relationships get way more complicated). Crisis for him to have a GF and for her for multiple reasons results in them entering into the crazy plan for her to play his GF. Lots of interesting characters in this story. Enjoyable read. Not going to spoil it by telling more.

5.0 out of 5 stars family reunion in Hawaii with your fake girlfriend
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2023
Verified Purchase
Aslan’s deceit in telling his mother he has had a girlfriend for the last year has caught up to him. There is a family reunion coming up and he is expected to go and bring the girl.
His VP of Operations, Keaton, is also his right hand man. When he asks her to be his fake girlfriend for the reunion she wants to say no because she is attracted to him but her mother is in an expensive extended care facility. She has left Keaton with a mountain of debt and her 18 year old sister to take care of.

I love Aslan’s family although I find his mother overbearing. The reunion proves to be everything Aslan’s wanted and the complete opposite of what Keaton expected. I loved everything about this book. I recommend.

Aslan Spearman is part of a huge family and is one third of a set of triplets . His life changed dramatically when his father passed away knowing now he had to step up and take over the family business . Then on the day of his father’s funeral he caught his fiancé in bed with Troy who happened to be his cousin. He then found out that she was only with him for his money , this fact made him believe that every female was only with him for his money . Although a very successful businessman his mother would like it if he settled down and get married , and she makes her wishes known to him at every opportunity. An up and coming family reunion in Hawaii is proving to be very tricky indeed as Aslan told his mother that he’s been seeing someone for a year and now she wants to meet the mystery girlfriend who doesn’t exist …….. Keaton has worked for Spearman LP for a while and works very close with the boss Aslan, being very good at her job makes everything go smoothly . It also helps when they both have a great respect for one another , they also fancy one another as well . Needing a girlfriend for the reunion he asks Keats to do it , but before she can answer her personal life implodes . It’s then Aslan finds out just what’s being going on in Keaton’s personal life and his admiration for her increases he also sets about to help her . Overwhelmed by his kindness she agrees to his request of being his girlfriend …… This is a great little love story with a little bit of drama towards the end it also has a beautiful ending .

Loved the story about Aslan and Keaton as they transition from work colleagues to friends for the family reunion. Aslan and Keaton pretended to be boyfriend/girlfriend to stop his mother from pestering him. Read their story to find out if they succeeded in faking their relationship or not.

so this is the first story I’ve read from this author, I’ve had a few of her stories in my kindle and I dint know why I hadn’t read them. Faking The Game was sweet like honey and had a sexiness made for swooning.

Aslan and Keaton are like best friends working together which was not anything like I’d thought it would be. He as CEO and her as Vice President, I imagined arrogant man at the lead and lowly VP hating in each other but needing an out before a family vacation. What I found was 2 very smart, successful people who love their jobs, their families and each other.

While Aslan was born with the silver spoon, Keaton grew up tough, and as an adult, life is no easier. She has crippling debt, a step sister hell bent on crucifying her for everything and a mother needing a care facility! All meaning she works to pay everything and that’s not enough. Once Aslan finds out, it’s all un, he will help her but she must play his girlfriend for a week long family reunion, easy right? Hahaha you haven’t met the Spearman’s.

That holiday changes everything, and it’s blurring everything, leaving a confused but satisfied Keaton. Lies always create drama, these 2 are about to discover that love always win.... or does it?
