About this listen

WANTED: Three fake boyfriends. Must be tall, handsome—and willing to teach me how to kiss.

My name is Layla Thompson, and I am undateable.

Seriously. I'm 28 and I've never had a boyfriend. And with my 30s rapidly approaching, I'm starting to lose patience.

Lucky for me, I have three best friends who are eager to help hone my dating skills. Zack, the rugged ex-rugby player. Josh, the sweet boy-next-door. And Luke, the silver-haired divorcee...who just so happens to be my old professor.

After a bad date leaves me crying on their shoulders, the three men are determined to help me find a guy. Together, they agree to be my "practice boyfriends" and come up with a lesson plan packed with fake dates, make out sessions, and classes on flirty texting. In return, I just have to make an appearance on their relationship advice podcast once a week. Easy.

But as my lessons become more and more intense, we soon find ourselves getting in too deep. Every "fake" touch lingers a little too long, and every "practice" kiss ends in fireworks. It's not long before I realize that their friendship isn't enough for me anymore. I want more.

The guys have been teaching me how to get a boyfriend, and now it's time I put their lessons to the test. Three times over.

Faking with Benefits is a sizzling fake dating romance featuring multiple love interests, tons of molten fake relationship heat, and a whole lot of heart. Dual narrated by Faye Adele, Shane East, Will Watt, and John York, with select excerpts performed in duet. HEA guaranteed!

Not for me

The story just didn't do it for me. The concept is interesting, but the execution felt very unrealistic and tacky

I liked the multiple narrators individually, but they should have done duet style. Instead, you get a different narrator each chapter; that's four different voices doing each character, changing by chapter. It's too confusing to keep track which voice belongs to which narrator and character, I found it very off-putting

Got lost in the story

The story was easy to get lost in, albeit a little cliche but I loved it nonetheless. Voice actors were amazing. I loved that important conversations were had about consent and safe sex. It makes a good spicy book a great spicy book.

Made me giddy

Nothing is sexier then sweet and spicy love! Especially when it is Shane East narrating! This made me smile, giggle, swoon, and squirm in my seat!

It was romantic and full of loving moments that made me feel warm inside. I dislike spicy books where the characters are self loathing and broken so I'm happy this wasn't one of those. Yes, in this book they all had their damage to work through, but it was realistic and well presented. The love story was also a healing one.

The banter was witty and playful! I was giggling out loud many times.

The spice was sexy but also respectful, loving, generous, and gave me some new ideas 😉 That said, it was graphic but I felt some of the scenes could have had more in it. I love the dynamic between the four and the men did a lovely job at sharing her. I'd be with 3 men if they were Luke, Zach ,and Josh!

I highly recommend if you want to walk around smiling for awhile.

I am officially a stan of Lily Gold

goddammit. I loved everything about this book. I hate that it isn't on overdrive and that Amazon has the exclusive rights to English audiobooks for this 🤢🤢😬😵.
the narration on this book was top tier, with the exception of Joshua who delivered his lines a bit too flatly at times.

Loved this book!

Loved the book so much I had to purchase the audiobook as soon as I found out that Will Watt and Shane East were narrators. This book didn't disappoint and I'll be sure to purchase more Lily Gold audiobooks as they become available. Zack's voice wasn't as "Scottish" as I was expecting but I loved listening to him all the same.

brain chemistry has been altered

wow! this was fantastic 👏🏻 I've never finished an audiobook so fast before. the performances, characters, and writing were amazing. i could picture all 4 characters in my mind cause they were described and narrated/acted out wonderfully.

For the last 3 hours, I just sat in my bed and listened and had a great time. perfect amount of cuteness, spice, and angst. found myself kicking my feet and giggling and rewinding back 30 seconds many times. also discovered some things about myself throughout this book.

10/10 😍🫠🫶🏻
