Book Description

Faking it never felt this good.

Dr. Easton Walsh thought she’d be showing up to her best friend’s wedding with a dazzling ring and a fiancé everyone wanted to Instagram. Instead, her boyfriend dumped her over what was supposed to be a proposal dinner and the only man offering her a lifeline is the last one she’d ever choose: Elijah Cabot. Her best friend’s older brother. The guy who broke her heart once already.

He'll help make her ex jealous...All she has to do is help him drive his grandmother across several states to the wedding. Easy.

But the fake relationship is starting to feel real, and the longer the trip goes on, the harder it is for Easton to remember that Boston—and her carefully built life—don’t include Elijah. Especially when her ex starts dangling threats that could derail her career if she doesn’t come back to him.

Now Easton has to risk everything for a second chance at the one man she shouldn’t want…or keep playing it safe, even if it means losing the best thing that’s ever happened to her—again.

About Elizabeth O'Roark

Elizabeth O'Roark has a bunch of degrees she does not use and gave up working as a medical writer to craft grumpy, alpha heroes and the flawed women who love them. When not writing, she likes to spend time with her three kids, who are now teenagers and wish she'd find a different way to spend time. She can be found on Facebook feverishly debating whether or not "Die Hard" is a Christmas movie and telling people to read "The Hating Game", which she did not write but wishes she had.

My Thoughts

My Favorite Fake Romance by Elizabeth O'Roark is a masterpiece of emotion, a story that completely consumes you from the very first page. Narrated brilliantly by Kasi Hollowell and James Cassidy, this most emotional entry in The Favorites series is a spectacular, addictive journey of second chances, healing, and finding love amid life's chaos.

This book thrusts you into the world of Dr. Easton Walsh, who, recently dumped by her fiancé, finds herself forced into a road trip fake relationship with the last man she'd ever choose: Elijah Cabot, her best friend's older brother and the true source of her past heartbreak. The premise is set: Elijah will help her make her ex jealous if she helps drive his grandmother across several states to a wedding. What follows is an intensely engaging journey where every mile on the road becomes a step closer, both physically and emotionally, blurring the line between the "fake" and the real.

The chemistry between Easton and Elijah is nothing short of magnetic, shocking, and utterly addictive. Their personalities collide, spark, and eventually harmonize in a way that feels beautifully inevitable. Their banter is witty, biting, and capable of making you laugh, swoon, and tear up all at once. Every shared glance, every lingering touch, and every quiet conversation on the road trip makes the story feel alive.

Elijah is the ultimate book boyfriend—passionate, fierce, and tender. His protectiveness and quiet devotion to Easton, even when masked by indifference, will make your heart ache and melt simultaneously. You will swoon hard over his unwavering commitment to shielding her from all harm. Easton is equally unforgettable. Her depth, strength, and vulnerability are heartbreakingly real. Watching her confront her past, face her fears, and slowly reclaim herself is an empowering and emotional experience that makes her one of the most memorable characters you'll ever encounter.

As the road trip progresses, they are forced to revisit the deep wounds of their past. The angsty tension that develops is palpable, especially with a certain revelation that completely reshapes their shared history and adds an explosive emotional layer to their already complicated connection. Despite their attempts to keep their distance, their emotional connection remains strong, making it clear they are perfectly suited for each other.

Elizabeth O’Roark’s writing possesses a rare, magical ability to make you live the story. You feel the characters' joy, pain, desire, and hope as if they were your own. This is a love story that is completely earned, requiring the characters to overcome major obstacles, uncover secrets, and learn to trust and let go in equal measure. My Favorite Fake Romance is a tremendous rollercoaster of the heart that grabs you by the soul and doesn't let go. It's about love, obsession, and finding yourself again. Easton and Elijah's story will leave an indelible mark on your heart. Faking it never felt this good.
