REVIEW: FAKER by Sarah Smith

Emmie Echavarre is a professional faker. She has to be to survive as one of the few female employees at Nuts & Bolts, a power tool company staffed predominantly by gruff, burly men. From nine to five, Monday through Friday, she's tough as nails--the complete opposite of her easy-going real self. 

One thing she doesn't have to fake? Her disdain for coworker Tate Rasmussen. Tate has been hostile to her since the day they met. Emmie's friendly greetings and repeated attempts to get to know him failed to garner anything more than scowls and terse one-word answers. Too bad she can't stop staring at his Thor-like biceps...

When Emmie and Tate are forced to work together on a charity construction project, things get...heated. Emmie's beginning to see that beneath Tate's chiseled exterior lies a soft heart, but it will take more than a few kind words to erase the past and convince her that what they have is real.

CHRISTY'S REVIEW: 

 

No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to fake anything with him. 

Faker was a great debut novel! Hate to love/work place romances... I'm always here for them. The synopsis of this gave me serious 'The Hating Game' vibes, and that's one of my favorite romances so I knew I had to read this one. I'm so happy I did.

Emmie and Tate have worked across from one another for years. Emmie is with a company that is primarily men, so she's learned to hold her own. It's different with Tate, though. The first thing Emmie noticed when she met Tate is how attractive he was. The second thing she noticed was he despised her, and she had no idea why. She still has no idea why. Now, the two are forced to work together on a big project, and Emmie has no clue how this will go.

I loved finding out all the 'whys' of this hate to love relationship, and I loved both of the main characters. Emmie is strong, fierce, and feisty in the best way. Tate is just everything. He's one of those characters you don't love at first, but once you see the real him... swoon. I adored the man. I truly loved so much about this book. Sure, there was a little unnecessary drama towards the end, but thankfully, it was cleared up rather quickly.

Sarah Smith's writing was fun and her characters were endearing. This book was enjoyable and I'll definitely be checking this author's future works. If you're looking for an enemies to lovers romance that is sweet and steamy, I recommend this!!

"You tick all my boxes. There's no one in the world like you, Emmie."
