Publisher's Summary

Matt: Want to know the fastest way to get screwed out of a football career? Get photographed in a compromising position in a gay bar. Yep, welcome to my life.   

My agent says he can fix my image. He wants me to become the poster boy for gay football players. Me? I just want back on the field. I'll do anything to play for the NFL again, even pretend to have a steady boyfriend. If only my fake boyfriend wasn't Noah Huntington III - the most arrogant, entitled rich guy in the world.  

Noah: Pretend to be Matt Jackson's boyfriend, my best friend said. It'll be fun, he said. What Damon neglected to mention is Matt is surly and bitter. Being his boyfriend is a job in itself. From his paranoia over being constantly photographed to his aversion to PDA, being with Matt isn't the care-free fake relationship I expected when I signed on to do this.   

It's supposed to be a win-win. I get to stick it to my politician dad who thinks no one is good enough for the Huntington name, and Matt's reputation of being the bad boy of football dies.  

What I don't expect is to start caring for the guy. That's not part of the plan. Then again, neither is fooling around with him.   

Oops.  

Contains mature themes.

Love this series!

Only issue is the absolutely atrocious Australian accent.
Otherwise I love everything about this series and this is a great book 2!

Eden Finley and the Boys Do It Again

I loved reading this book series, but by also listening to the audible version using Whispersync it just gave it that extra oomph! Alexander Cendese and Iggy Toma did a wonderful job of capturing Matt and Noah's personalities. I like how the two narrators work so well together so even when each of them is voicing the other character there's very little difference in accent or speaking style. I imagine that wouldn't be an easy thing to achieve.

Of course, it goes without saying that Eden Finley wrote an amazing book. I loved Fake Out (the first book), but this one is more intensely passionate, and to be honest, heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time.

Eden, Alexander and Iggy are a fantastic team!

Loved the 2 narrators

Noah is a rich man who loves playing the field and doesn't do relationship, until asked to be a fake boyfriend to the outer football player Matt to help his image and the rest is history.

That accent at 6hours 46min!

Better than book 1, not as good as book 3.

The one moment that stood out to me in this entire book was when we me Benji: the stereotypical rocker with an Australian accent 'thicker than Jet's southern one'

Said Australian accent was laughable. It starts of sounding like he's talking around a giant gobstopper (very strange, NOT Aussie), then like a New Zealander, then South African, maybe (maybe?) briefly Australian, then a variety of British accents that switched so rapidly I couldn't catch which 😆

Another great fake / sports romance!

Closeted pro footballer Matt Jackson is photographed in a gay night club and after the overwhelming publicity, he no longer has a career. When his agent suggests he start a fake relationship to rehabilitate his image, he’s less than convinced, especially when he meets the chosen fake boyfriend, Noah Huntington. Known for his large ego and larger trust fund, Noah takes little seriously, but before long, he starts to develop feelings for the media-hounded Matt. This was a fun and compelling as the first book (Fake Out), I loved the backstories involving Matt and Noah’s parents as well as Noah’s exes. Iggy Toma (as Matt) and Alexander Cendese (as Noah) score all the audio goals with their excellent performances (currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue)!

Another great read in the Fake Boyfriend series

Trick Play is book two in the Fake Boyfriends series. This is a continuation from the world built in Fake Out but focuses on a new couple.

Matt is a football player the has managed to ruin his chances at signing another contract to play when a photo in a compromising is situation is leaked.
Noah is a rich, entitled trust fund type. He is also one of Damon’s friends and brought in to be Matt’s fake boyfriend to help his career get back on track.

The aim is to get to know each other a cruise and fake their relationship to show a happy couple.

The build throughout their story has all the good things you want; a little spice, sassy banter, the feel good happy moments and the character development.

Plus the added bonus of setting us for the future stories with Talon and Miller. Along with the addition of Jet, Matt’s younger brother. His friendship with Noah is cute. It shows there is more to I’m than the privileged entitled trust baby persona. There is also a hint of Ollie and Lennon

I love this story so much!!! Great Narration!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 stars
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Heat Level: 4
🎧🎧🎧🎧 Narration: 4.5

I love this story so much!!! Amazing writing, fantastic characters and a wonderful journey to a HEA!!

This is my second time reading Trick Play and first time listening to the narration. I love Noah and Matt and found their story wonderfully endearing and real.

I really enjoyed Matt and Noah story and found each character endearing in their own way. I love Noah’s cocky confidence and spoilt, sarcastic self, which he hides behind to avoid getting hurt again, when really he is so loving, caring, generous and has a big heart capable of love. I love his passion for his new project; Rainbow Beds (which I wish was real, well done Eden) and is open heart to letting Jett (Matt’s Brother) into his heart as well.

I feel for Matt as this is a horrid why to ‘come out’. I feel Eden has a great talent for getting across complex emotions and creating the rollercoaster Matt has to go through in this book. Matt is trying to figure out which way is up and has to fight tooth and nail to ‘save’ his football career. I loved the journey Matt goes on to find his way back to football, finding his new self and a new love along the way.

I love Noah and Matt and think they have a great dynamic.
It’s a wonderful story with twists and turns and the perfect HEA.
Sometimes I wish the characters would just say what they feel and stop pussyfooting around but it all works out in the end.
I love seeing characters from book one and loved the new characters introduced throughout this world. I look forward to many more Fake Boyfriend books. Great work Eden! Can’t wait to see what Eden can come up with next.

🎧🎧🎧🎧 Narration: 4.5 headphones; Review:
I found the Narration by Alexander Cendese (Noah) and Iggy Toma (Matt) for Trick Play really good. In my mind these voices where near perfect for the characters and Alexander’s voice for Jett is awesome and I love Alex’s attempt at an Australian accent!!! Both voice artists are great and while I’ve listened to them both during Fake Out (Fake Boyfriends, Book 1), I felt they were able to create different dialects in Trick Play that I was able to differentiate all the characters. I’ve listened to Iggy before and loved his work and found his rendition of Matt really good and loved his accent when Matt went all southern, swoon 😍!
All in all, great narration for an awesome story!!!

Thanks for reading!
