The Purest Fake (Silverbacks Football Book 2) Kindle Edition
From USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author Jacob Chance comes a Spicy, Fake Relationship, Football Romance.
Taking a break from dating seems like the ultimate plan—just me, my wrestling podcast, and zero romantic drama. Then I meet Cooper Grind, the tight end for the Silverbacks. He’s adorkable, hilarious, and completely inexperienced when it comes to love.
And I mean in every way.
So when he proposes a wild scheme—a pretend relationship to keep the female attention at bay—I can’t help but agree.
As we dive into our new “couple” status, I’m swept up in the exciting world of professional football. Although our dates are fake, Cooper makes an adventure out of every moment we spend together. For an inexperienced guy, he’s surprisingly convincing in his boyfriend role.
When stolen glances and playful banter spark something deeper, I realize I might be in over my head. Because the more we fake it, the more real it feels.
Despite facing my best defensive efforts, this superstar rookie is smashing through my reservations with alarming precision.
And now our charade is turning into something I never expected—the purest fake.

If you love football, sweet romance stories where the characters start out as friends with low angst and no conflict then this book is for you!
This one is about Scarlett and Cooper, who is a rookie tight end for the Silverbacks football team. They start out as friends and pretend to date to keep overzealous fans at bay, only the fake turns into real with a happy ending. Their story is beautifully written and kept my interest from start to finish; I read the entire book in one sitting!! So excited for the next book!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2025This was a good page turning story. Once started I didn't want to put I down. I adore Cooper and his sweet personality. Scarlett is a perfect fit for him with her straight forward way. I was really excited with all the mentions of the Gunn club(but to be honest Jesse is still my favorite so no surprise I loved those mentions....). This was definitely worth the read.

Review by Krisha Bledsoe
- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2024I am loving this series. Scarlet and Cooper are just so cute together, I like that she's older and more experienced. You hardly read a book where the guy is the virgin, but I loved that. Cooper was sweet and sexy without being nieve, but Scarlet was smart and sassy without being overbearing. I would love to see more of them in the future books,but I'm looking forward to Griffin's book.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2024This was my first book by this author and I truly enjoyed it. The virgin trope isn’t my favorite but this one was done with taste and I enjoyed it. This story was written well and had just the right amount of spice. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2024This book was okay
Possible spoilers ahead. This was like a Hallmark movie with a little smut added in.
H is a virgin. I usually roll my eyes at storylines like that but the author does a good job explaining why he is. Grew up in a religious family. I also liked how the author didn’t make H automatically know what to do when they finally had se*. h showed him what to do.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2024Once again Jacob delivers a fun, low angst, steamy story full of lovable characters! Cooper and Scarlett meld so well together. As friends they start a fake relationship to shield Cooper from his female fans so he can focus on his game. Friends soon become lovers in this fun, lovable slow burn that left me wanting more! Can’t wait for the next book!

The Purest Fake by Jacob Chance – A Heartfelt Fake Relationship Romance
If you love fake relationship romances, The Purest Fake by Jacob Chance is a must-read! This story had everything I adore about the trope—undeniable chemistry, heartfelt moments, and, of course, the inevitable turning point when pretend feelings become all too real.
One of my favorite aspects of this book was how Cooper and Scarlett started as friends. Their bond felt natural, and I loved how they openly talked about things before anything romantic developed between them. That foundation made their relationship feel so genuine and deep.
Cooper is the absolute sweetest. His devotion to Scarlett is undeniable, and you can just feel that she’s his one true love. Every interaction between them was filled with warmth, charm, and playful banter that made their connection even stronger.
One of the most touching elements of their relationship was their love for surprising each other. Those little unexpected gestures added so much sweetness to their story, making it even more special.
Overall, The Purest Fake was a fantastic read. It had all the heart and chemistry I crave in a romance, and Cooper and Scarlett’s love story was one I didn’t want to end. If you’re looking for a heartfelt, swoon-worthy romance, this book is definitely worth picking up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Running the game of love!
Cooper is the newest member of the Silverbacks and whilst he plays hard on the field, off the field he lives with his sister and has never had a girlfriend. Scarlett is friends with one of his team mates girlfriends and when an over eager fan won't leave Cooper alone, she pretends to be his girlfriend. But the more they pretend, the deeper the feelings become. Will their game end in heart break or have they stumbled on the winning luck?
This was a good read, Cooper is sweet and just learning who he is whilst Scarlett knows who she is but has never found the one! Together they are adorable and fit well together. Can't wait to read the next book!
