Faking it by Christine d'Abo Blog Tour
@riptidebooks Faking it by @Christine_dAbo mmm goodness
Hello, my name is Christine d’Abo and I’m so happy to be
here today.
I’m a firm believer that the good friends are the family
members that we get to choose. The get us on a level that sometimes our
biological family doesn’t. When I came up with the idea of Ringside Gym and the
men who were involved with it, I wanted to make sure that their relationships
reflected that feeling.
Max would be the “middle” child of the trio of heroes.
He’s my peacemaker, the one who wants to make sure everyone and everything is
okay. But Max has a problem – he doesn’t know what to do when he’s not needed.
Zack no longer needs him now that he has Noland in his life, and their other
friend Eli has been MIA due to his MMA career. Max’s life begins to drift and
he questions not only what he wants, but also who he wants in it.
When Grady Barnes shows up on the scene, Max is equal
parts intrigued and annoyed. Here is a man who seems to have it all, but is
seemingly at the whim of his father.
When Grady asks Max for help, he takes a leap of faith and agrees. What
Max doesn’t anticipate is how quickly Grady will work his way into his heart.
All Max needs to do is find a way to prevent Grady from
being forced into a marriage he doesn’t want, while not giving in to his
impulse to sweep Grady into his arm.
Simple, right?

About Faking It
Max Tremblay should be happy. His nightclub, Frantic, is
one of the most popular gay clubs in Toronto, and his childhood refuge,
Ringside Gym, is well on the way to reopening. But when he finds yet another
drunk in the alley beside the bar, Max isn’t sure this is the life he truly
wants.
Grady Barnes has it all. He’s rich, famous, and wants for
nothing. Well, nothing but a good relationship with his father. When he
discovers that his father is going to force him into an arranged marriage,
Grady has had enough. He tracks down Max, the man who got him to safety after a
night of overindulgence, and makes him a proposal: pretend to be his fiancé for
two weeks and he’ll invest in Ringside Gym.
When the pair travel to Vancouver to attend a family
wedding, the flames of their mutual attraction ignite, and they discover that
the only difference between pretend and reality is how well they can fake it.

each man must turn to others to help make it a reality. Winners take all—but
there are no losers in love.
