Publisher's summary

WANTED: Three fake boyfriends. Must be tall, handsome—and willing to teach me how to kiss.

My name is Layla Thompson, and I am undateable.

Seriously. I'm 28 and I've never had a boyfriend. And with my 30s rapidly approaching, I'm starting to lose patience.

Lucky for me, I have three best friends who are eager to help hone my dating skills. Zack, the rugged ex-rugby player. Josh, the sweet boy-next-door. And Luke, the silver-haired divorcee...who just so happens to be my old professor.

After a bad date leaves me crying on their shoulders, the three men are determined to help me find a guy. Together, they agree to be my "practice boyfriends" and come up with a lesson plan packed with fake dates, make out sessions, and classes on flirty texting. In return, I just have to make an appearance on their relationship advice podcast once a week. Easy.

But as my lessons become more and more intense, we soon find ourselves getting in too deep. Every "fake" touch lingers a little too long, and every "practice" kiss ends in fireworks. It's not long before I realize that their friendship isn't enough for me anymore. I want more.

The guys have been teaching me how to get a boyfriend, and now it's time I put their lessons to the test. Three times over.

Faking with Benefits is a sizzling fake dating romance featuring multiple love interests, tons of molten fake relationship heat, and a whole lot of heart. Dual narrated by Faye Adele, Shane East, Will Watt, and John York, with select excerpts performed in duet. HEA guaranteed!

Disappointed by Audio Choices

I was so excited to listen to this book - a fan of Lily Gold, and with an excellent cast of narrators. However - what is advertised as a full cast, and features a preview of duet style narration - instead relies on all four individual actors voicing their counterparts when they narrate their individual chapters. Such a bummer! It was hard to stay in the moment with so much variation, and I don’t understand how they got *so close* to a slam dunk and didn’t let each actor record their own parts through out.

Loved it

This was a fun and steamy book. I loved all the characters. Laila was great. You can tell where the story is going but it was worth the ride. The narration was really good as well.

BEST RH/ Why choose ! Get this one!

Do you like witty banter? Do you like the spiciest of spice? Do you like to giggle and cry in one paragraph? This is the one for you. Great narrators who actually sound like they are in the same room when they are recording their “ podcast “. So good!!

Excellent

This is probably one of the best reverse harem romances I have read. The narrators are fabulous and really sound like the characters do in my head. The characters are distinct and appealing, even in their weaknesses. The witty banter is just plain fun. I could do with less sex because the non-bedroom scenes were the most romantic, but it's still great.

Sweet, Sexy, and Spicy

This book was wonderful. First of all I love full cast narration. A different narrator for each person is clutch. The only thing that would have made it better is if each narrator did their own voice the entire time. I love the fact that boys get stupid and then come back together. I also found the bonus chapter and they were delightful. Can’t wait to read the rest of Lily Gold’s books.

For what it is, it’s ok, but formulaic

This is the 4th “why choose” book I’ve read by this author. While I appreciated the “real people” themes in the book (challenging parental relationships, growing up in the system, workaholics, work-life balance, self-esteem issues, etc., and the HEAs, by the third book there was a definite pattern in the style of the men (the sex one, the grumpy ‘last one to come around’, and the playful or romantic/considerate one) . I was hoping for a change of pattern in book 4, but nope. So I won’t read anymore by this author (at least not in this sub genre)

The female characters were ok, though I was wishing they’d be a little bit more…..something I can’t put my finger on.

All in all, it’s ok. I don’t know that I’d actively recommend but the performances were all good and I didn’t walk away feeling like I wanted the time and the credit back.

My recommendation is to look at all 4 title details and pick the one with the storyline most interesting. Once you’ve read one, you’ve read them all. This one was my favorite of the 4.

Best to listen

Absolutely loved the audio book having all four different characters. The podcast the story. It was so well written I couldn’t imagine reading it and enjoying it as much as I enjoyed listening to the book be read to me five star audible and book for me. Absolutely loved it.
