Polly Doyle hates her job, her life, and being stuck in her home town. Being a twenty-something, newly single, phone-sex operator isn’t exactly where she saw herself on career day. When Polly lands a spot on the popular TV show, The Bake Off, she vows to win. Baking is her passion and her ticket out of Cavern's Bend. There’s just one, very big man-shaped problem. It’s couples year. Polly doesn’t want a man, but for the first time in her life, she needs one. Faking it for a living comes naturally to Polly. Faking The Bake Off should be a piece of cake. If only her fake boyfriend wasn’t so edible, so hot, and so damn infuriating!Keane Marshall loves his job, his life, and moving back to his home town is the icing on the cake. Being a twenty-something, newly single chef of the hottest restaurant in Cavern’s Bend, is exactly where he wants to be. Until he gets roped into a competition with a woman he hoped he’d never see again. Polly Doyle was the first girl he ever wanted. The first girl he fell in love with. And the girl who sucker punched him into 6th grade infamy. Faking The Bake Off should be a piece of cake. If only his fake girlfriend wasn’t so sinfully spicy, so teeth tingling sweet, and so damn infuriating!A spoonful of sugar, and a whole lot of spice.

5.0 out of 5 stars An hysterical romp
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2017
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review

Polly’s life hasn’t turned out quite like she planned. When she left her small Maine town eleven years ago, giving it the proverbial finger, she never planned on returning. And she didn’t, until her mother dies and she is no closer to attaining her dream of becoming famous in Hollywood. With no job and realizing that her mother has sold her home to cover the debts of yet another deadbeat lover, Polly becomes a sex operator, fulfilling the fantasies of other people, while hers grow farther and farther away.

Keane has come back to town too. When they were younger, Polly protected him from the school bully and welcomed him into her club, The Misfits, and he never forgot her. After making his fortune on Wall Street, he wants nothing more than to move back to a simpler time in his life and follow his dream of becoming a chef in his own restaurant. What neither of them realizes is that they’re about to reconnect in a strange way. Can they go back to the simpler times and will either of them admit that they love each other?

3.0 out of 5 stars Too many typos
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2017

I would have rated this 4 stars, but there were SO MANY typos that it was completely distracting. (Dear author...send it me, I'd be happy to edit it for you!) These typos were like missing words in sentences, missing letters in words, etc. so I often had to reread sentences to figure out what she meant.

The story itself was a quick fun read. Polly and Keane had plenty of chemistry and heat! I would have been happier without the "fake fiance" bit; it really seemed unnecessary. But Polly kept me chuckling throughout, which I love in a romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVED this book
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2016
I LOVED this book! I couldn't put it down. I devoured it. I laughed so hard I was in tears! I started to highlight and then I realized if I kept it up I would have highlighted the entire book.

You have Polly Doyle who you can't help but love, she has gotten herself in a peculiar situation, but it just fits her. "if weird were a human it would be her." She is hilarious and you will want to be her friend. And her roommate is freaking great!

Keane is sweet if not a little irritating at times, but you know.. he's a guy so that happens.

"Let's make something sweet and sinful together Polly Doyle."

And boy do they! This book is both of those things and more. You don't get much of the bake off competition it's more about their relationship and I wouldn't have it any other way. This book will have you laughing right off the bat and you won't stop until the book is over.

This is my top romcom of 2016! Grab it today!

5.0 out of 5 stars Infatuation 101!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2016
It all starts off as a deal among old friends... an exchange to fulfill what each of them need in life... or so they thought! What began as a simple trade for a trade turned into something life altering for Polly and Keane. A childhood friendship turns into an infatuation which becomes all consuming. Neither one of them can deny their feelings and go through a series of hilarious events and sizzing encounters leaving them incapable of being apart. Michelle McLoughney's first attempt at RomCom is ludicrously spot on leaving you convulsing with laughter from Keane and Polly's romps! 5 Amusing Stars for "Fake Off"... a Delicious story of love and friendships.

Review, spoilers!!!:
Polly gets fired from her job as a phone-sex operator, finds het BF (whom she doesn`t care for) banging someone and gets invited to join The Bake Off.
Anna(the girl who was banging her BF) and Polly become immediately the best of friends (whyyyyyyy???) and Anna tells her that her brother will help her win The Bake Off.
Enter Keane Marshall her geeky old friend and they connect again, although Keane is no longer geeky, he is gorgeous!! He asks her to become his fake fiancé and tada another plot.
In the end they finally talk about everything and I get my HEA.
What I liked:
It had me cracking up at times. The banter between Polly and Keane was hilarious at times.
I loved the misfits , they take Keane back as if he never went away. Once a misfit, always a misfit.
What I didn`t like:
I know it is fiction, just some things seem so unlikely… Like Polly and Anna becoming best friends. I get it, but still…
Also there was happening to many things in this story.

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2016
4/5 Stars!!!

Let me start off by saying that this book had me crying with laughter! It was hysterical and oh so good.

Polly is down on her luck, while Keane has everything going for him. They are childhood friends who make a "deal" to help each other out on this baking show. What ensues is fun perfection.

Sweet and spicy. Fake Off will have you swooning and in stitches!

5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER WIN!!
Reviewed in Canada on January 2, 2017

I love a character named Keane! The author takes us on his journey from geeky little bullied Keane to the man he is today. Polly met Keane in grade school when she saved him from a bad situation by punching out the bully on his case. Then his family left town. Seventeen years later he has come back as a man, and what a man! Polly is shocked when she sees him again but she is as beautiful and feisty as Keane remembers.....And has always loved.

Anna, Keane's sister, sets them up to be partners on a national baking show. It is a competition Polly has dreamed of being in for years. What she doesn't expect is for love to be kindled between the two of them. For her it is easy to fall in love but for Keane it is scary and risky. His past marriage has made him gun-shy.

Full of humor, strong characters and hot sex, I recommend this book as a must read! BTW, 3 of my favorite shows on TV are cooking competitions! This book was meant for me to love!

Possibly the best romantic comedy I've EVER read. You know its good when you're snorting/giggling away to yourself at all of the mad cap characters, then swooning the next to the beast that is Keane Marshall. The ending gave me SUCH a huge smile and I don't actually want to start another book right away. I want to wallow in the after glow this one gave me. Defo recommend.

I bought this when it was recommended to my by another author. I have to admit I really struggled with this at times and actually put it down twice, I didn't feel the connection with the characters but on that note it was absolutely hilarious at times and made me burst out laughing.
