New Release + Review: Faked by Karla Sorensen

Title: FakedAuthor: Karla Sorensen

Genre: Sports Romance
Release Date: June 16, 2020


Every action has a consequence, and Claire Ward knows it. And yet, even knowing that her decision to swap places with her identical twin sister, Lia, for a night could be disastrous, she still does it.

Why? 

Because it will give her an evening with the man she’s been crushing on for years, Lia’s best friend, Finn. 

Miss Straight A Student has thought through all the angles, and knows the risk is worth it. And everything would have been fine, if Finn had been the one to show up at her door. 

But it wasn’t. 

Bauer Davis— Finn’s half brother and his exact opposite in just about every definable category is the one waiting for her instead. A professional snowboarder, Bauer is covered in ink, full of attitude, and has a chip on his shoulder the size of Mt. Olympus. The kind of bad boy that Claire has never been attracted to before. 

Now the good girl is with the wrong brother for a night, and when the consequence is that they have to pretend to be together for an event, it’s nothing she could have predicted. But maybe, just maybe, what makes Bauer so bad, is exactly what Claire needs.








Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was sooo good! 

In this strangers-to-lovers romance (they knew of each other but had never met), Claire swaps identities with her twin sister, Lia, for a night. She believes she's going out with her crush, Lia's best friend, Finn, only to have his brother, Bauer, show up at her door instead. 


If Finn is the golden boy, Bauer is the rebel. 
Thank goodness the author gave us not one but two swaps because Claire and Bauer compliment each other so well.  

Karla Sorensen's writing had me glued from start to finish. With this being my first book from her, I wasn't sure what to expect. She gave me both a flirty, charming story that was able to tug at my heart strings for both of these incredible-in-their-own-way characters at the same time. I was rooting for them even though I knew at some point the bottom would drop. When it did, the author had me feeling as gutted as she made them feel. 

This is book two in the Ward Sisters series and then their brother, Logan, has his story as well. I haven't read them and I can honestly say that while reading Faked, it didn't leave me feeling like I was missing out or that I had to read them in order to understand this one.

This book has made me an instant fan of Karla Sorensen and I can't wait to read more from her!


Well, let’s see ... I’m a wife and a mother. If the things that I write bring a smile to someone's face, then I've done my job. I am obsessed with Outlander (both the books and the show). I’m almost exclusively a romance reader, which means some people will never consider me a literary snob. If I could meet one historical figure, it would be Jane Austen. I received my Bachelors in Public Relations and worked in health care marketing before I had my babies. I hate Twitter. I do it, but I hate it. Also, if you want to get on my good side, bring me wine and I'll love you forever.
