Faking Fore-Ever: A Sweet Sports RomCom
Not yet published
Expected 27 Mar 26A sweet second-chance golf romance with grumpy/sunshine sparks, a chaotic husky, and an ex who’s hard to resist...
Luke
Buyer’s remorse hits hard with my new husky. My agent swears Bogey will soften my grumpy reputation and help my anxiety.
I hoped adopting him might open a door with Genevieve, my sunshine ex who still hates me for choosing golf over us.
When her text finally comes, my heart soars, until it’s clear she’s only helping because of my sister.
Watching her gentleness with Bogey makes my chest ache. I need her training expertise... but I want so much more.
Genevieve
Another text from Luke Nichols—pro golf’s brooding “Grim Reaper”—pops up. I ignore it. He walked away years ago; I’m not helping now.
Then his sister begs. Against every fiber of my being, I agree. For her sake.
Pulling into his driveway, I find Luke frazzled, hair wild, and wearing an expression I’ve never seen before. His dog bolting past in a furry blur.
He looks...lost, and my guarded heart cracks.
Keeping this professional might be harder than watching him walk away.
Faking Fore-Ever is perfect for fans of clean sports romance, second-chance tropes, grumpy/sunshine opposites, and heartwarming golf rom-coms with all the sizzle and no spice. Dive into this kisses-only, slow-burn standalone with exes-to-lovers tension, a mischievous husky, professional dog training fun, and a swoony happily ever after!
Grab it now and fall for Luke, Genevieve, and Bogey!

In the list of most unusual ways to try to win an ex back, adopting a dog so that your dog trainer ex can help you train them is certainly up there. And yet, it worked out well for Luke and Genevieve... and led to a very entertaining story along the way. Luke might have gotten in a little more than he'd bargained for with Bogey (his adopted Siberian husky who liked to escape and dig... as huskies often do), but it really did give him the perfect excuse to reach out to Genevieve to help him out. As they spend more time together, all the old feelings start to return, and I couldn't help but enjoy seeing them work things out and get their second chance at a happily ever after. Their story was really sweet. Bogey added a lot of fun, but it also tackled some real issues like anxiety very well. If you enjoy golf romance, cute (and mischievous) pets and a second chance romance, this is definitely one to add to your TBR. It was a great ending to this fun series!
Faking Fore-Ever is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language. It is part of The Love Playbook Series. This is a multi-author series with each book featuring a different sport and pet. They can be enjoyed as standalones or in any order.

What would you do for a second chance at love?
That is what Luke needed to decide, in the form of a loving, high energy, untrained husky. The hope? That Genevieve, the girl he left behind when he turned pro, will take pity on him and agree to help him train the dog. Gen isn’t interested in the man who walked away and never looked back. She followed his golf career but was not about to offer her services until his sister, who she occasionally works with, intervenes. What follows is a journey of destroyed lawn, new routines, dealing with a father who wants total control back, and lots of fun moments mixed into remind Gen and Luke of the feelings they once had. I received an early copy and this is my honest review.

This is my voluntary review of a copy I was given.
Luke might be to blame for breaking Gen's heart, but there were extenuating circumstances. He was young and under the thumb of his domineering father.
When he finally gets free from his dad, he realizes he wants her back.
Genevieve isn't too sure she can handle being around Luke, and she's right. The attraction is still there. The love is still there. The fear of getting her heart broken again is there. But she sees that he's different than he had been when they were together years ago.
It was fun watching them navigate their new relationship and watching it bloom into something more.

Luke and Genevieve’s story was such a cute read!!
You can’t go wrong with a cute dog to bring them together….
To keep up with the dog them… Yep, Luke is adorable. A golden retriever for Gen, and his decision to adopt a husky puppy to win back his ex was inspired, and a little misguided.
The story overall was cute, cozy and super charming, and I loved JB, Kit and Beau…
Overall, a sweet story, and well worth curling up with for a lovely escape.

Bogie the husky was definitely the star of this second chance story. There’s nothing like an adorable dog to help bring two people together. This was a great addition to the multi-author The Love Playbook series. I did have a small issue with all the side characters (Kit, Beau, Cole, and a few other mentions of rugby players) because it seemed like I should have already known who these people were. Maybe this is a spinoff of one of the author’s other books? No clue as this is a new to me author.

A second chance romance that is so satisfying. Luke gets a dog to help with anxiety and needs a dog trainer to teach him how to manage the chosen dag ( a husky) who specializes in escape and running away from him. Fortunately he knows who to call...Genevieve, the one he walked away from on advice from his father.
A delightful story about training an incredibly smart dog, golf, and second chances. Terrific characters, sweet moments, romance, and loads of laughs right to the end. I loved it!

This book was AMAZING!! It got be hooked from the beginning. I fell in love with Bogey (the husky). He was so cute and mischievous. I love second chance romances and Luke and Genevieve gave me that. It was so fun to watch them slowly fall back in love throughout this book. This book had me reading through the night and I highly recommend it!! 🫶🏼

I love the second chance. I love how Luke finally get Gen to listen to him. Great characters. I love Kit and JB and how supportive they both are. I was also glad that Luke's dad came around.

This was a fun read! It's a sweet and clean second chance romance. Low drama, except for a mouthy husky lol. A pleasure to read. Tropes: second chance, sports, dog. Thanks for the early read Abby!
