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!

Story
As one of the world's most hated celebrities, I'm used to unwanted attention. But when I woke up one morning to find a mysterious man had broken into my house, I knew I needed security, fast. Enter "The Angels," my three ex-military bodyguards. Having three gorgeous men guarding me 24-7 sounds like a dream come true, but it turns out to be a nightmare. They're always here, watching me. Caring for me. Protecting me. They tell me to ignore them and go about my business, but I can't even think with them so close. The spark is too intense.

Story
Tristan Stiles is the bane of my existence. He never wears a shirt. We can’t seem to stop fighting. He’s an arrogant playboy with a filthy reputation. Sure, I had a crush on him when I was fourteen but that was a long time ago. I know better than to trust him. I just need to survive long enough to find a new job and get a new place. And not accidentally let Tristan show me exactly how well-deserved his reputation is.

After my ex-boyfriend makes me the target of a cruel online hate campaign, I know I have to get away. The last thing I expect on my trip to Sweden is a moose standing in the middle of the road—or the mysterious, bearded ranger who pulls me from my wrecked car. Now, a storm's brewing, and I'm being carried into a secluded mountain cabin by a Nordic God rippling with muscle. Inside, I'm greeted by three ridiculously hot Swedish mountain men.

None of them have a clue how to look after the baby that’s been left on their doorstep. Luckily, there’s a nanny in the building.

Story
Look, I've had it bad for the girl with all the curves next door forever. She turned me down in high school and since I'm not a total douchecanoe, I lusted after her all by myself in my shower, and we stayed just friends for years. Now she's the adorkable librarian next door, and I'm the star quarterback of the best pro football team in the league. So when she asks me to be her fake date to her all-girls school reunion, I am totally down to show her off to the mean girls who bullied her back then so they can see just how incredible she is.

Story
Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

Beckett Langfield is grumpy, rich and hates kids. I’m an overworked, overstressed, and overweight single mom. The only reason we’re getting married is because he needs to fix a PR disaster and I am available. As in sitting next to him, in a bar, when he has this brilliant idea. Considering I just got divorced, I’m not looking to do that again. But Beckett makes me an offer that I literally can’t refuse, so I don’t.

The scowl should’ve been my first clue to stay far away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend? Reasons two and three. Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house. He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack. Until he sees me shatter. Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall.

In the beginning, there was Savannah Shaw. Teasing me with a mischievous, merciless grin by day. Crawling through my window with tear-stained cheeks by night. I was ordered to avoid her. Lectured on her misdeeds. Forbidden from seeing her. But my need to protect her was innate. So natural I never questioned it. So visceral I couldn’t fight it.

Trauma nurse Aly Cappellucci doesn’t need any more kinks. She likes the one she’s landed on just fine. To her, nothing could top the masked men she follows online. Unless one of those men was shirtless, heavily tattooed, and waiting for her in her bedroom. She dreams about being hunted by one in particular, of him chasing her down and doing deliciously dark things to her willing body. She never could have guessed that by sending one drunken text, those dreams would become her new reality.

He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage. The worst part is that no one sees his devil side. I do. And that will cost me everything. I run, but the thing about monsters? They always chase.

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin. Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality. It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble. Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

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 😍🫠🫶🏻
