About this listen
I’ve made a lot of dumb mistakes but none dumber than losing her.
Senior year. I should be partying and living it up with my friends before graduation, but one more mistake and I’m off the team.
Enter Chloe. She comes into my life at a low point, but she becomes the bright spot I reach for every day. She’s the kind of girl who makes a guy want to be a better man. And for a while, I even start to believe I’ve changed enough to deserve her.
I’ve got my eye on the future, and I’m letting my past stay where it belongs.
But the thing about the past...it always comes back to bite you when you least expect it.

What's the probability of insulting the one guy on campus I need to help me pass statistics? If I knew, I wouldn't be standing in front of Wes Reynolds begging him to tutor me. Basketball player, sexy, arrogant, always sleeping through class...these are the things I knew about him. What I didn't know is that he is a seriously smart jock.

Story
Secretly hooking up with the team captain's sister was a bad idea. In my defense, the first time I saw her I didn't know who she was. Kind, gorgeous, a little naïve. Ginny brightened my world from day one. I knew I was no good for her. She was just out of a relationship, and I had a reputation for having a new girl in my bed every weekend. I tried to do the right thing. Honest. I'm the one who insisted we should be just friends. That lasted about as long as you'd expect. But Ginny? She's the best - best friend, best everything.

I met my dream girl. That’s right. She’s stunning and the worst bartender I’ve ever seen. I should have gone home and gone to sleep—dream girl or not. I had an early morning and the season was starting soon. But when she threatened me with boy band karaoke, I couldn't help myself. I went. The stars aligned. I have never felt more alive or wanted anyone more than I want her.

I will talk hockey with your dad. I will bring your mother flowers. I will be polite, and wear a nicely ironed shirt.... Now everyone knows it’s a bad idea to introduce your long-time crush to your messed-up family. But I really do need a date for Thanksgiving, even if I’m not willing to say why.

Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin. Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality. It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble. Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

The first time I met Winter Marks, I almost took her out with my Jeep. To be fair, she came out of nowhere. I flirted with her, and she flipped me off and disappeared into the woods on her bike. But she left me a souvenir: a single hockey skate. Seemed to me that divine intervention shouldn’t be ignored. She was my icy Cinderella, and I would be her Prince Not-So-Charming. Winter was more than just a sassy, badass hockey-playing hottie. She’s stuck in a prison of a life. And I’m the perfect escape. Neither of us expected to fall. Or for the truth to shatter us.

The hot-as-hell nanny is leaving soon for a mission trip to Central America. No sense in letting myself fantasize about Jessa being a permanent part of my life. The closer we get, the more difficult it becomes to keep my feelings in check, because my heart won’t listen. And neither will my libido.

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down. She said no feelings, and she meant it. Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship. College was her escape, including us. I didn't have time for a girlfriend. I had classes, the team, my family, and the game. It was all working too.... Until somewhere down the line, things got messy. Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more. Until I began to want her in ways that weren't part of the deal. Our agreement didn't just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

She is everything I never knew I wanted or needed. But falling for Mia might cost us everything we’ve worked so hard for. Do I sacrifice my band member’s dreams and chase her, or will Mia be the one thing that is more important than any stage I have ever dreamed of?

Story
I met my dream girl. That’s right. She’s stunning and the worst bartender I’ve ever seen. I should have gone home and gone to sleep—dream girl or not. I had an early morning and the season was starting soon. But when she threatened me with boy band karaoke, I couldn't help myself. I went. The stars aligned. I have never felt more alive or wanted anyone more than I want her.

Second Chances and happily ever after's
Alright, confession time. I have never listened to an audiobook of a book I haven’t already read. I hadn’t read The Fake before so I was a little nervous about going into an audiobook blind. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. It was a little hard for me to follow at first but once we got into the story, I was all in.
Nathan, oh sweet Nathan. I just adored him, there was so much more to him than meets the eye. Jason Clarke crushed it, he was such a great Nathan and at times even had me swooning. There’s just something about hearing a hunky guy profess his love to his girl that gives me goosebumps. Nathan was going through a lot when he meets Chloe, but meeting her helped clear the fog and see what he really wanted. Jason was fantastic and perfectly believable.
Ava Erickson killed it as Chloe, she was fantastic. Chloe had a lot to prove when she showed up at Valley and a boyfriend was very low on her radar. Well, until she meets Nathan and realizes he may be able to help her gain approval of her teammates. Their little arrangement started as mutually beneficial, a transaction but the more time they spent together the harder their chemistry was to deny. Ava did a great job as Chloe and I really enjoyed her.
Overall, I really enjoyed this story and Jason and Ava’s telling of it, it was captivating. I can’t wait to listen to more of Rebecca Jenshak’s stories through Audible. I don’t know if any of her other guys will be able to top Nathan though, he’s a romantic at heart which just makes me melt.

Best of the series
I loved this book. Nathan was by far my favorite of the guys and I loved Chloe too. I read and listened to this book that's how much I loved it. I couldn't wait for it to come out on Audible. I was slightly disappointed that Jason Clarke did Nathan. His voice just wasn't what I was picturing Nathan to sound like. Ava Erickson was prefect for Chloe though. Can't wait to see what Rebecca does next.

Sorry to see this series come to a close :(
I'm sad to see this series come to a close, but The Fake does provide us with a satisfying ending. Chloe situation is practically ripped from the headlines, and I love how Rebecca Jenshak gave an alternate perspective to what is portrayed in reality in this regard. I've wanted Nate's story since he was introduced, but I especially wanted to see him get a HEA after he suffered a bit of heartbreak and rejection in The Tip-Off. His backstory and the responsibility he took on made him a very sympathetic hero and I think one of my favorite aspects of the book was that when ish hit the fan, it didn't take an inordinate amount of time for the dust to settle - because I don't think I would've enjoyed reading about Nate being in any kind of emotional turmoil for any longer than necessary. I also really loved the fake relationship trope utilized here. I think I can officially say that Rebecca Jenshak is a must read author for me and I can't wait to read whatever she comes out with next! 4 out of 5 wine glasses.

Sweet college sports romance
Jason Clarke and Ava Erickson did phenomenal with this book. I absolutely love this book and they bring it to life in the best way. Nathan and Chloe have chemistry Chloe wants to deny and keeps Nathan playing whatever role Chloe will let him to stay close even if it’s a fake boyfriend. I did everything I could to continue listening because I was so eager to hear what would happen next. This is such a sweet story about a girl who is just trying to fit in with her beach volleyball team and end college on a high note after a devastating ending to her junior year of colleges and a boy who is struggling to help keep his family afloat at home but keeps it under wraps even away from his best friends. Together they have a beautiful story filled with normal college athlete life and everything else that comes with being in their senior year of college.

Nathan and Chloe are the sweetest!
Jason Clarke and Ava Erickson are two of my top favorite narrators and they knocked THE FAKE out of the park. Ava has such a melodic, young voice and performs her characters so well, she's perfection for New Adult romance. And we all know that Jason's sexy, deep voice is pretty awesome.
With that out of the way let me get to the heart of this story. Chloe and Nathan were adorable. Nathan had some growth to do over the course of the story an he did it beautifully. With his little brother being in school and his mother without a job he is the main provider for his family and always struggling to make enough money to make ends meet. Enter rich girl Chloe.
Chloe never lacked for money but her issues aren't material. After being kicked out of school she's transferred to Valley and that's not how she imagined her senior year. While her parents mean well, buying their daughter's way into college isn't what endears you to your fellow students and Volleyball teammates. That stain doesn't go away so she's having a hard time connecting to people at Valley. I loved Chloe's resilience, her strength and willingness to forgive, not just Nathan but her teammates too.
Before Nathan met Chloe he was used to taking the path of least resistance. Fighting for Chloe changed all that. I simply adored how Nathan treated her. He was head over heels in love with this girl and showed her with everything he did how much he cherished her.
If you love a good, low-drama fake relationship trope in your sports romance don't hesitate to grab this one. It's sexy, flirty and wonderfully sweet with absolutely endearing characters.

A great sports romance
The Fake is the fourth book in Rebecca Jenshak's 'Smart Jocks' sports romance. I love new adult and I love sports romance, so this series has been a real win for me.
Nate is one of the guys on the team with Wes, Joel, and Zeke. We don't know much about him, but in the last book, I feel like we got a bit of insight. He's Gabby's best friend and has something in his past that haunts him. Nate has responsibilities and a past, but he's a really fun-loving guy.
Chloe is a new character to the series and is an athlete herself. After a scandal at her last school, she's transferred to Valley her senior year to play volleyball. Her teammates/roommates don't respond to her well... until she has a night with Nate. She panics and tells the girls he's her boyfriend, and there the fake dating begins.
I love the fake dating troupe. Nate and Chloe have a lot of chemistry. They go from having a one night stand, to becoming friends who are fake dating, to falling in love. It was a really sweet progression. I listened to the audio book which was narrated by the dream team of Jason Clarke and Ava Erickson who did an amazing job voicing Nate and Chloe. I've listened to this entire series on audio, and I can't recommend the audio books enough.
This series has been so enjoyable to listen to. Though it looks like this book is the final book, I hope Jenshak decides to write more sports romances in this world.

Gah!! Nathan will steal your heart.
I fell hard and fast for this series earlier this year and this book certainly felt like the end of an era. The ending was the perfect way to celebrate and wrap up all our favorite characters. I just wanna go back and live with this friend group forever.
The Fake finally brings us Nathan’s full back story. He’s been a bit of a wildcard throughout the series and I was certainly excited to find out more about him and see who he ends up with. At the start of this book Nathan is at a low point. He needs to make a change and he’s not quite sure how to do it. In comes Chloe. Fresh from a “scandal” at her previous school, Chloe transfers her senior year and starts over at Valley.
I loved Nate and Chloe’s relationship. It starts off hot and fast and quickly turns into a fake dating situation, but I loved watching them build a real friendship in that time. They became friends and solidified their feelings and transitioned beautifully into a real relationship. Sometimes, the fake dating trope can get really messy, but with these two is was almost seamless and I loved that.
I enjoyed all the side stories, including Chloe’s struggle with her team and Nate’s financial and family struggles. I loved seeing them open up to each other. There is one point in their story that really had me on the edge of my seat wondering how they’d fix it and move through it, but I absolutely loved how that was handled.
Overall, I’m obsessed with every single character in this series and I just want more forever. Don’t we deserve some weddings?? 😝😝😝😝
***I listened to the audio of this book and I absolutely could not put it down. I loved the narrators!***

Fake relationship at it's finest!
The Fake will have you cheering for the home team! This story is about overcoming obstacles, especially those that are out of your control. If you don't have a current book boyfriend, be prepared for Nate to steal your heart away. This was my favorite book so far in the Smart Jocks series and I highly recommend the audio version as well!
