Brody and Layla . . .

Brody Davis, an NHL hockey player for the LA Kings, and Layla Harper have known each other for a very long time. But he left her and she cannot get over it. He wasn’t even there for her when her brother, his best friend, died. Now he is back and needs her to help him with a situation. His father is requiring his cooperation in fixing his reputation because he may be permanently kicked off the team and have no other option left. He is sending him to Maine and has made it clear his trust fund is also tied to whether he can repair his image or not. His agent, Sheila Hawthorne, arrived to discuss her plan to get him back in the game since the LA Kings no longer want him. He has to get a wholesome, well-liked girlfriend the media would love and pretend to start settling down. No more playboy lifestyle. Sheila pointed to the TV and suggested a woman like the one who just about to perform a song as he almost dropped his beer when he saw Layla. If he won’t get her back, Sheila said he needs someone just like her. Then she grabbed his beers and left.

The well-known agent Layla contacted met with her. The very first thing he wanted to do was change her look and give her a shocking backstory. Even though she was a solo artist, he brought in people to be her band. They looked like they played metal or punk music, and a band was not part of her type of music. Her agent said they were marketing her as “good girl gone bad” and the band would promote that image. He told her what clothing to buy, what haircut she needed, and calling the huge list “minor tweaks”. Then he attacked her lyrics, wanting them to be angry, not sorrowful loving stuff. And last but not least, he would only represent her if she moved to LA. She walked out, wondering if she could do this. And she met Sheila Hawthorne in the hall with another proposition for her… and she would not have to change a thing about herself. She even had a job for her already. Riding on the 4th of July float with Brody Davis, then singing the national anthem. As much as she never wanted to see him again, she could not pass up the publicity, so she agreed. Nothing personal, just a career decision. Brody was on her doorstep and wanted to talk, but she was late for work. He would return when she got home and take her to lunch. The whispers and cell phones pointed at them had not been expected. And Sheila intervening when it looked like Brody was about to punch the cameraman who arrived let Layla figure out this was a set-up.

They went to a private room and Sheila tried to explain this was to help Brody, but Layla stormed out of the room. Asking Layla to become Brody’s fake fiancé would be terribly difficult when Layla’s feelings for him are still there despite her anger and hurt. If they can get her to agree, will he end up damaging her new singing career that is just starting up? Or can they make this situation work out for both of them?

Layla has forever been in love with, Brody. He was her big brother’s best friend. On the day of the tragic car accident, it killed more than her brother, Paul, and a deer. It killed their relationship that had been just seconds prior, that he only moments before had been professing his love, to her brother for her, telling him that he would marry her one day. All gone, not just because her brother died but for the way, Brody slithered his way out of town leaving, Layla to grieve alone. To be blamed for her brother’s death by her family, and was kicked out the minute she turned seventeen, but being called a deer killer.

Now, two years later, here he is waltzing back into the bowling alley as if, no time had passed at all. Bringing his standard beer in his backpack, and is ready, to party. Well, she was, too. If nothing else she would use him, to get rid of her V-card, and so she did, and as she figured he had slithered on out, by morning. She was disappointed because she thought they at one time loved each other, but she knew he was no longer, the Brody she and, Paul once knew.

Eight years have passed, now. Brody has been living his life large, fast, and way too loose. It has all come to bite him in the arse. The LA Kings no longer wish, to play with him due, to a picture that will be coming out, and have been talking about suspending him. That is until, after the game, Sheila, his PR person told him, to lay low. Instead, he beat up a fellow teammate who is with his ex. Now, a ruling has been given, however, he is being cut. They now need a game plan but also need Brody out of the bright lights of LA. So, hometown life it is. The place with all the memories, and his girl that never was.

That is until the hurricane, called Sheila came into town. She is bound and determined that she can make all her game pieces come together, and make them fit. There is just one small problem with that, one of those pieces is a small sexy-as-hell, Layla. She would rather have my balls in a noose than, fake as his fiancee. But, add in exes, estranged parents, and sleaze media outlets, and you have the perfect storm, to fuel the flames of this story. Really enjoyed the characters, and the noted growth they went through, to be with one another, and not lose themselves.

Brody Davis, 27 plays for the Los Angeles Kings pro hockey team and where he can't seem to keep out of trouble or out of the news. He needs to clean up his act, find a nice girl they tell him.
He left Maine at 18 after his best friend died and went on to a hockey career which is something they had both talked about. Now he is back in Sweet Harbor, Maine.
Layla Harper, 26 lives in Sweet Harbor and misses her brother Paul everyday. When she was videoed singing at a karaoke bar it went viral and makes an appearance on TV hoping this will be the beginning of her singing/writing career. She is surprised to see Brody back, he was her brother's best friend and her first love but he left.
His agent takes on Layla to get her career going but also wants them to act as a couple since she is the good girl and he needs that. As much as she has always loved him this is no easy task as he can't seem to stay out of trouble let alone others that are there to hurt them.
How can they come back from it all?

There were times I really wanted to knock Brody round the head.
This book really pulled at my heart strings. It was so raw and emotional. There was so much chemistry and heartbreak, I felt it all.
Fantastic read, that really sucks you in from the 1st page.

I loved this emotionally charged story. I felt so invested in their relationship - just an amazing book!

Fast forward 8 years. Brody is a famous hockey star whose actions may end his career. His agent suggests he return to his hometown to rebuild his reputation.

Layla is on the cusp of becoming a sensation after a video of her singing had millions of views. She is looking for an agent to help start her career.

The agent convinces Brody and Layla to pretend to be in a relationship for publicity. At first they avoid each other, but soon their feelings resurface. But do they want to try a relationship for real?.

it was a hard story to read, but in a good way bc it sucked you in and there were sooo many emotional things happening, their past def effect things but fate had a plan for them through it all.
ok so I called this a 2nd chance romance but really it was more like a 3rd+ chance. There is so much b backstory and all that you just have to read about it.
It def is put on the spice meter
These characters def grow and you get to see it first hand while reading their story.
This author did a great job and cant wait to see what else she was written or writes.

Sia Wiley’s latest novel Fake Fiance Player has it all, heart, heat, anger, angst, tears, tragedy, fear, emotional walls, and every feeling in between! It is a beautifully written story about two people who are bonded to one another by attraction, love, and tragedy, which also drives them apart when they needed one another most. Years later as they each continue to try to get over their love for the other, they are brought together again but this time, one is on a path of destruction and the other’s star is just rising. There are plenty of twists and turns that keep the story interesting and make it a page-turner. And their chemistry will require extensive use of you’re a/c and lots of ice water. Do not miss reading this one!

This is the second book in this series, and this is Brody and Layla’s journey. Brody is Layla’s brothers best friend, and when she needed him the most he left town to follow his dream of a pro hockey career. Now Brody is back in town to revamp his image, and he gets Layla to agree that they are in a fake relationship. This is a well written enemies / lovers romance, with drama, emotions, second chances, challenges, tension, twists, heartbreak, humor, witty banter, and love, which leads to a steamy and entertaining page turner.

Another great fake relationship story! Layla and Brody were high school sweethearts. After the death of Paul, Layla's brother and Brody's best friend, events separate the two of them. A chance encounter 2 yrs later leads to Layla giving Brody her V-card and Brody ghosting her again. Now, Brody needs to get his public image back on track to save his NHL career and Layla might be the key. The road to their HEA is certainly rocky, but worth the read.

Brother's Best Friend
High School Sweethearts
Second Chance Romance
This story is about the journey between Layla and Brody. Layla lost her brother Paul, who happens to be Brody's best friend, in a tragic car accident. It's an emotional story about finding their way to happiness after loss, the trials, living in the public eye and dealing with family drama. Although this is a more emotional storyline.. There are some cute cats...and does end in a HEA...a very heartfelt, take your breath away, great book!!

This was a great book, but some of of trauma was especially difficult for me as I have gone through similar. Losing someone you love is always hard to move on from. Having someone come back into your life so different adds more difficulty.

Where will Brody & Layla’s story end?

Sia Wiley has knocked it out of the park with Layla & Brody’s story. This may be a hockey romance but there’s so much more to the story which is what makes it a 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 read. Can the past be left behind for a chance at a HEA?.

“Fake Fiance Player” is about two young people, Layla and Brody, who are trying to find themselves through trying times. Love doesn’t answer all the issues that come along with growing up. A thoughtful and emotional story, this coming of age story is well written and shows how people can reach their destiny even through trying times. I recommend this one.

Layla and Brody have a very emotional second chance romance.
They have been through a roller-coaster with loss, pain and lot of people trying to ensure that they wouldn't be together.
I loved the characters, their connection and how the storyline developed.
