“FAKE is an absolute delight . . . for every woman who wished her celebrity crush would fall madly in love with her. Romance gold from one the genre’s best!”— Naima Simone, USA Today Bestselling Author
Fake, an all new grumpy megastar meets quirky and lovable waitress Hollywood romance from New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott, is available now!
He walks the red carpet. She’s more familiar with vacuuming one.
When a scandal tarnishes the reputation of hot as hell A-lister, Patrick Walsh, he needs a reputation rescue, pronto.
Enter waitress Norah Peers–a nobody who’s average with a capital A. She’s available, dependable, and has sworn off men for the rest of her natural born life. In other words: the perfect match for a no-strings fake romance.
For the right amount of money, she can avoid waitressing and play the part of his dependable down-to-earth girlfriend. What she can’t avoid–dammit–is the growing steam between them.
But being hounded by the paparazzi and having her life dissected on social media is a panic attack in the making. And while Patrick might be a charming rogue on screen, in real life he’s a six-foot-two confusing, gorgeous, brooding grump, who keeps her at a distance . . . but also makes her feel like this bond between them might be more than just an act.
Being dumped on cue should be no big deal. Except being fake with Patrick is the realist relationship Norah has ever had. What’s a girl to do, but flip the script, and ask for a re-match made in Hollywood?

****
This was a good read. Fake is the first book in the West Hollywood series by Kylie Scott and it is Patrick and Norah's story. Patrick is a huge movie star, who finds himself embroiled in some drama with a married co-star. Norah is a waitress at a tiny restaurant where Patrick often escapes to eat alone in anonymity. One day, his agent comes with him to lunch and Norah overhears their conversation in which they are talking about finding him fake girlfriend to get the press off his back and boost his image. Patrick isn't interested in any of his agent's candidates, but he asks Norah if she would be interested. She soon finds herself hired as his fake girlfriend for at least six months and living in his house. Patrick is mysterious, but Norah is determined to get to know him and become friends since they are in this situation. But as they spend time together, their relationship moves from fake to very real and they fall for each other.
I enjoyed this fun story and liked the book. I really liked Norah, while Patrick remained a bit of a mystery (although it was clear he was a good guy). I wanted a bit more discussion between the couple and more communication. A few things were never discussed that I expected to be and I would have liked an epilogue. Still, overall, Fake is a good, easy read. I enjoyed Norah and Patrick's relationship development. I look forward to more from this new series and from Ms. Scott in the future!
