Title: Faking It
Author: J.D. Hollyfield
Release Date: Feb 1, 2016


Fake it till you make it.
That’s Lexi Hall, the wild socialite’s motto for how to live life.
Single and allergic to commitment, Lexi is having the time of her life. Or is she? With a new promotion at the art gallery, and her colorful lifestyle as bright as ever, she swears she has no interest in slowing down. When Lexi receives a phone call that can change her career, she pounces on the opportunity. But what this outgoing diva doesn’t plan for is her new client, the closed off, secluded artist, Hunter James. Fighting to draw the line between work and pleasure, it’s up to Lexi to figure out how to balance her fake life for something real.
Hunter James is an artist without a muse. Lacking the beauty in his life that he craves, his art is beginning to suffer. Unfortunately for the mysterious artist, a past mistake also tarnishes his trust in women. Forced to take a meeting with an art gallery dealer, he accepts knowing he’ll turn her down. He turns them all down. But what he doesn’t anticipate is for the seductive bombshell to turn his world upside down. As his body and mind come alive, he vows to stop at nothing to have her on his canvas and in his bed.
As Lexi’s life begins to brighten with the promise of something beautiful, can she stop faking it and find a reason to make it real? Or will Hunter’s past replace their light with darkness?

LOUISA’S 4 STAR REVIEW
Wow…I went into this book blind…I always like to read new authors and I am so glad I chose JD Holyfield to read.
Lexi Hall is my hero. She may have been born with a silver spoon, but she has made a life for herself, but she’s been faking it for a while. She has Chrissy (her bff) in her life, but Chrissy has fallen in love and moving forward. Chrissy is a “homemaker” with the love of her life and her niece, all something that Lexi claims she does’t want, but is she lying to herself? She starts to believe that it’s time…time to listen and turn over a “new leaf”…
“I, Lexi Hall, want to change. To be loved. To be cared for. To be cherished, dammit!! Problem is, I don’t know how to go about doing it…”
Chrissy asks her to go and “woo” Hunter James, the new up and coming artist to come and display at the art gallery she works at. And yup – you got it, he’s a gorgeous hunk of a man. The sparks fly and they are not just the “I wanna jump into bed with you sparks”.
I love a book that gives me goosebumps and butterflies while reading (two things that Lexi says she doesn’t want), but I for surely got them while reading. And the other part of Lexi that I loved…she was so damn funny~~
“Seriously pal? What are you a human orgasm dispenser?”
The quit witted banter between Lexi and Hunter made me smile, and the intimacy between them believable, it wasn’t all about sex. They want to know each other and their time together is meaningful and fun! Of course there is little twist that I wasn’t expecting…

I read this book in one sitting (it was the morning) but if i would have started at night this would definitely had me UP ALL NIGHT reading!
An ARC was provided to Blushing Babes Are Up All Night for an honest review!

We haven’t been up in the friendly skies for more than a few minutes before Hunter begins to unclip his seat belt. “I need you to come to the bathroom with me?”
“Why? They don’t like too many people standing in the aisle, you know.”
“You won’t be standing in the aisle. Let’s go.” I’m looking at him strangely. Until it sinks in. “Why exactly do you want me to go with you?”
“Because I can’t stand it any longer,” he whisper-growls. “I need to take you into the bathroom and make them think I am fucking you senseless so these vultures know you’re with me. Get up, let’s go.” He snaps his belt off and attempts to stand.
I pull his shoulder down so he falls back into his seat. “Hunter, we can’t both go into the bathroom and do any of that. It’s illegal.” And I also refuse to admit why I know that.
“It’s not. I’m sure people still do it all the time. Up you go.” His pupils are beginning to dilate and I know he is serious. The poor man has been festering about the non-competition on each side of us since we took off.
“Hunter.” Turning my body toward him, I take my hands and cup his face. I raise my voice so my words are dramatized and so that the two meat cakes on each side of us can hear. “I know you are aching to do so many dirty things to me, but my sores aren’t gone yet. The doctor said we should wait. We don’t want you to get them again, do we?” I tease. I watch the meat cake next to Hunter, scrunch his face and turn away from us. I turn to the aisle and flag down the flight attendant. “Yes, excuse me, do you think I can get some ice? I have some… ya know, blisters… down below, and the ice helps.” I smile while catching the cringing face of my other ex-fan. Mission complete. I offer my attention back to the only person on this plane who I care about. Hunter is stock-still, except for his eyes, which are now as big as saucers. “You realize you just announced to most of the plane that you have genital herpes, right?”
“Yep. And now no one will give me the time of day. I’m all yours.” I wink. Hunter’s expression has dissolved into one of humor, although he is shaking his head at me.
“You amaze me more and more every single second, Lex. And I do believe that if you’re not careful, we will end up searching out those chapels.”
I try to hide the surge of emotions that shoot through my heart.
I bring his mouth to mine and with my lips and my tongue, I offer him the best French kiss ever, convincing him just how little anyone else on this plane matters. And just how much he does.
It takes the flight attendant telling us we’re about to land for us to break away. I don’t lose eye contact with Hunter and I can tell he is appreciative of what I did. He feels like the man in charge. Even if his prize was herpes.
