Fake Halo (Durham Boys) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 145 ratings

He’ll give back my secrets.

For a price.


Turns out the email I just sent my therapist—wherein I detail my biggest, closest-guarded secrets—did not go to my therapist.

It went to Westcott Durham.

Yes: the Wes Durham, former child star, former teen heartthrob, and current biggest a**hole on either coast. Gorgeous, enraging Wes.

My enemy.

The secrets I just spilled? One that could destroy my career, one that could destroy my relationship with my sister…and one that could destroy me. It was supposed to follow me to the grave. They all were.

Blackmail’s the name of his game. My sentence: eight weeks of hell as his personal assistant.

Now he’s making me pretend I like him, all so his has-been music channel (and his bedsheets, I’m sure) will see some traffic from my fans. I can’t say no, even when he makes it clear he’s not pretending, anymore. I think.

I hope.

I hate Wes Durham with almost everything I am.

Whatever’s left…that’s what will get me in trouble.

Review

"[Wes and Clara's] chemistry is steaming hot..." Diane, Goodreads

"...too bad you can give only 5 stars because this one deserves a whole lot more." Debra, Goodreads

"...one of the most raw and emotional books I've read...Clara and Wes are perfectly imperfect and a great fit for each other." Jessica, Amazon

"Cohen from
Darling All At Once has held my top spot for a long time, not just of heroes from Piper Lennox, but like all time favorite, but as much as this may sting I have to give him a little push to the side because Wes Durham is [an] incredible character. He has all those characteristics that I love. He is rough around the edges and you don't know if you want to kill him or kiss him.... Seriously, I would give this 100 stars if I could." Nikki, Goodreads

"Wes and Clara were made for each other...their chemistry was off the charts."
Danielle, Goodreads

"There's a few things I've come to expect from a Piper Lennox book. Characters that are flawed and so very real, who've experienced some kind of pain or hardship. Overwhelming emotions, from tears to laughter to that tingling warmth in your chest. And a beautiful story that may stay with you long after you've finished the book. That's exactly what I've experienced again with this book! ...I almost instantly fell for Wes." Silvia, Goodreads

"...an abundance of raw emotion. Their chemistry is explosive. ...will keep you on the edge of your seat and may cause you to lose a little sleep." BP34, Amazon

"I just adore a good enemies-to-lovers romance,
and because it's Piper Lennox, it's a GREAT one! ...an unforgettable read." Margie, Amazon

"...the reader doesn't know whether to hate Wes or love him! ... Who knows her better than her enemy? And especially now that he has all of her secrets at his fingertips...a good, well-written story with characters who actually might be perfect for each other."
Emily, Goodreads

"...as entertaining as it is emotionally provoking....
The epilogue is awesome! You will adore the HEA as much as I did!" Kelly, Goodreads

"...a fabulous love story! ...so emotional, deep, and an all around great book."
Christa, Goodreads

"WOW...beautifully written, pulling you in from the beginning and holding tight to the very end.... two of the strongest characters I think I've ever read." C. Gray, Goodreads

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Piper Lennox is the author of New Adult and Contemporary romance novels Darling, All at Once (an Amazon Top 100 Bestseller), Fake Halo, The Midwife's Playlist, and more.

Her books have sexy and broken heroes, feisty heroines, and beautifully real, flawed people falling in out-of-this-world love. For all the tears, there's always laughter, heat...and, of course, a happily-ever-after worth melting over.

Piper lives in Virginia with her husband, kids, and a Siberian Husky way too smart for his own good. Before she spent her days writing about life and love, she wrote copy for insurance companies. And she will never, ever go back.

    WOW... this story was beautifully written, pulling you in from the beginning and holding tight to the very end and then some. The things these two have been through and going through have made them two of the strongest characters I think I’ve ever read. I wanted to smack them both a few times, found myself crying more then a few times with/for them and smiling like a fool after laughing with them. Piper did an amazing with this story and I really can’t wait for more!! 🖤🖤

    I liked the story overall.
    I get down with a good enemies to lovers.
    I liked each character as individuals-and together-I just felt some parts were unbelievable. (I know-it’s fiction-but a girl can’t help how she FEELS while reading.)
    I did like the main characters history with each other and the plot of how they were forced back together.
    I loved the leading ladies quirks-without giving too much away it was the highlight of the book for me to read about her....nope-no spoilers. It was just refreshing to have one who wasn’t the typical bombshell in a lot of romance books.
    I finished it in one day because it did move quickly and there wasn’t any pointless story fillers or lag for me-and it kept me interested and eager to find out what was gonna happen.
    I loved the ending-the whole wrap up of everything-it wasn’t rushed and was well delivered!
    Diving right into book two-now!

    Fake Halo was a really slow start for me, but it did pick up and I did like it. Honestly I didn’t understand the initial animosity between Clara and Wes so I just felt like I was missing an important part of the story. It was kind of just like this is how it’s always been but we never got the why. The side characters seemed interesting, but there wasn’t enough of them besides Georgia to really be invested. So the story seemed too long and too short at the same time. I liked the ending though and I did enjoy the second half of the story!

    I started this book and realized the main characters were IG influencers and I was sort of turned off. I kept reading (I am no quitter) and will never regret it! This book deals with so many different issues...mental health, sexual abuse, reality vs online presence, blackmail, social media just to name a few. It is really powerfully written and truly takes you on this roller coaster with Wes and Clara. And the chemistry between these 2 is off the charts!! I would give it 10 stars if I could. Extremely relevant in 2021, even to a 40 year old mom. Excellent! Read this book, you will not regret it! I read a book every 1 to 2 days, and this is one that will stick with me. Thank you Piper Lennox. You have gained a true fan!!

    I went into this expecting one thing, with something else being delivered. But not in a bad way. Kind of like extra cheese on a pizza when you didn’t pay for it.
    I wasn’t sure if I liked Wes at the beginning, but by the end, I was in love with all the facets the made him up.
    Clara captured me from the beginning, she was just so full of so many human emotions that someone could relate to.
    I’ll definitely be checking out what else this author puts out.

    I loved the storyline of this book and the way the characters grew together. When Wes character truth came out he fell all the emotions. Everything he dealt with over the years and how he handled it. And I love how Clara was there for him in the end.

    Clara is a beauty blogger that has severe anxiety manifested as trichotillomania. Wes is a child star that is trying to find his new calling. Wes and Clara have a bit of history with competition. They run in similar social media circles and while attracted to each other also drive each other crazy. Sweet, angsty romance with HEA

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great read
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 18, 2020

    Twin vloggers, a disenchanted child star, an interfering mother and a sick sister secrets, real life anxieties and lots of humour among the heartbreak. This kinda has it all and I really enjoyed it and I enjoyed it more as I got further into the book itself. It grips you from the start despite not always going where you expect. There are triggers but all are handled brilliantly.
