🩵Pump Fake (Fall Lake Ballers 2) by Isla Vaughn-review tour🩵

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 5, 2024

A fake relationship between a fiery teacher and a notorious football star heats up into something dangerously real—but is this game worth the risk?

Brielle

Starting my teaching career as the butt of a prank gone wrong is not how I imagined things going. The hits keep coming when it’s none other than the notorious Ares Bellingham’s nephew who pulls the prank.

Ares, Fall Lake University’s most controversial rising football star, is the last person I expect—or want—to see standing in my classroom, but here he is, infuriatingly smug as he tries to fix things.

Just when I think things can’t get worse, my past resurfaces, threatening to disrupt the life I’ve worked so hard to rebuild.

But Ares has a plan, one that might be worth the Hail Mary he’s throwing my way, and suddenly my life becomes even more complicated.

Ares

One ridiculous mistake almost cost me everything—my shot at the NFL, my reputation, and my family. Now, I’m just inches away from getting benched for good.

My coach is breathing down my neck, the scouts are watching my every move, and I can’t afford another fumble.

But when my nephew’s prank lands me in Brielle Sinclair’s crosshairs, the fiery teacher with a no-nonsense attitude, I’m suddenly facing another fourth-and-long.

She needs help running interference on her past, and I need…well, I need her.

The Play

It’s simple, really.

I’ll be her pretend boyfriend to keep her tormentors at bay, and she’ll help me show the world I’m not the PR nightmare they think I am.

But as we spend more time together, faking it becomes harder, especially with sparks flying whenever I’m near her.

I’m ready to fight for her, but will she let me prove that what we have is more than just a game?

I’ve got it all: a promising football career, a penthouse apartment, and the world at my feet. But behind my public persona, I’m burdened by my mother’s terminal illness and the manipulative demands of my politician father.

REVIEW: Quarterback Keeper by Isla Vaughn is book one in the Fall Lake Ballers series.

Quarterback Keeper is college sports romance with Kylian Wilder as the D1 athlete and star quarterback. His main objective was to get to the NFL so he could take care of his mother who has cancer. When fate decided to throw Gia in Kylian’s path he thought it was a great opportunity to pretend they were in a fake relationship for his moms’s sake.

Gia was running from her traumatic past and was looking for a safe place to stay. When Kylian offered her this amazing opportunity she couldn’t resist.

That is until Kylian’s Senatorial Candidate father gets involved and things go awry quickly! With Kylian and Gia starting to have real feelings for each other, can thry get past all the drama his dad throws at them?

This is a wonderfully fast paced fake romance story that goes from pretending to real feelings quickly.

I absolutely loved the main characters of Kylian and Gia. Also loved Kylian’s roommates! They made the book very fun!

I would not normally pick a sports related story but this was definitely a win in my book. Looking forward to book two in the series’
