Faking It by Stefanie London

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Hannah and Owen are former classmates now forced to work together on an investigation. Hannah basically propositioned Owen many years ago, right before he left the country in a hurry. He has been in NYC while she remained home in Australia, working her way up in the ranks toward her dream. She is appointed lead investigator in an undercover operation to find jewel thieves and can’t wait to get started. Until she learns who her partner will be.

Owen ran away from home, quite literally, years ago. He is nothing but bad news all the way around. Losing his parents early and living with his grandmother, he could’ve just stayed around town. But he felt like he needed to distance himself from the world and no better way to do that then head halfway across it. Now back in town and working with his old agency, he’s not sure he should’ve come back. But seeing Hannah again quickly places doubt.

Hannah and Owen need to pose as a married couple, with money, connections and most importantly jewels, to draw out the perpetrators. All fine and good but their underlying attraction is making it really difficult to stay focused. Maybe if they got it out of their systems, they could focus again on the task at hand? Not likely, with the amount of spark and steam coming from them, they’ll only cause an increase in wanting.

I am a fan of the author through and through and this storyline doesn’t disappoint. I love the whole deep-seated attraction that these 2 characters are fighting with the entire book. For Owen to get out of his own way and finally figure out he can have it all, was a wonderful process to read. Ms. London has a great way of weaving characters through their emotions so seamlessly; they don’t even know they’ve been “healed”. Another solid 4 ½ star read for an advance copy that I voluntarily read and reviewed without expectations.
