Have we met? No? Well it's time to end that tragedy.
I'm a former firefighter/EMS guy who's picked up the proverbial pen and started writing bad boy romance stories. I co-write with my sister, Ali Parker, but live in Texas with my wife, my two little boys, my daughter, two dogs, three cats, and a turtle.
Yep. A turtle. You read that right. Don't be jealous.
You're going to find Billionaires, Bad Boys, Military Guys and loads of sexiness.
Something for everyone, hopefully. I'd love to connect with you. Check out the links below and come find me.
I liked that Rose wasn't some wide eyed girl who was "innocent" and i don't mean sexually but like in a word viewing way. I liked that they communicated for the most part and there was no real back and forth between them pretty much. I think book 2 was better but i still enjoyed this one.
Book 3 in the Faux Love series and features Beau and Rose. A favorite trope of mine is a fake fiancée romance and this was an awesome read. Loved watching them move from the fake relationship to something that they both didn’t realize that they needed. Recommend this and the others in the series. You won’t be disappointed.
Another great read. This story follows Beau and Rose. She works at her family’s rose nursery. She’s desperate to raise money to purchase the nursery allowing her parents to retire. When she meets Beau, a millionaire club and event hall owner, she finds out he’s desperate to find someone to pretend to have a serious relationship to improve his image going to Faux. He approaches her to play his fake fiancée. A few twists gives the reader a compelling, page turning story..
A great addition to the Faux Love Series. Weston Parker never seems to disappoint and once again he has written another great book. Billionaire Beau is in need of an image redo and he thinks a fake fiance might just be the answer to his prayers. Rose is the perfect candidate and she needs money to save the family business. They really are cute together and their chemistry is explosive. Their banter is hilarious at times. A slow burn romance with an HEA. The characters were fun and well developed and the story line was entertaining. I read an arc via the author and voluntarily chose to review it.
This is an entertaining story with strong characters in Beau and Rose. When he needs help to improve his image he hires Rose ,who needs the money to save the family's business, to be his fake fiance. Things change as they spend time together. Their chemistry is off the charts hot. The author brings drama and suspense along with the sizzling romance. It's well written with descriptive scenes,moves fluidly and is a terrific read.

ABOUT FAUX LOVE NOVELS:
This book is a Faux Love novel. Faux’s is an exclusive escort agency run by Della Fontenot, whose intuition helps her successfully pair her clients with just the right girl (or guy) and distinguishes her from the competition. Her clients sometimes need arm candy, a date for business or social events, a just a little innocent companionship. All is above board and professional, with contracts and NDA’s. Sometimes, however, Della’s matchmaking abilities are so keen that business begins to blur with personal, and soon hearts are involved in the transaction.
The agency is first introduced in Fake It Real Good, which is Aton and Ashley’s sweet yet heartbreaking story. The relationship starts out much like a blind date, and although they try to keep the walls up, things have a way of getting personal as time goes by. The couple’s faux relationship romance is a story about family and sacrifice.
Fake It For Money is the next in the Faux Love lineup. Henry and Isabelle’s Christmas romance is the perfect holiday read. It is a feel-good story about family and tradition. Henry is a rags to riches success story in the hotel business, but he lacks good social skills. His assistant suggests a woman might help soften the edges when mingling amongst potential investors, so he turns to Faux’s for help. IN THIS BOOK:
This story largely takes place in February.
Rose Marie Turner, twenty-six, is a small-town girl without a pretentious bone in her body. She lives in an apartment in Fillmore, about an hour’s drive from L.A. Her beauty is authentic and real. Rose’s free-spirited attitude leads her to follow her heart, and her positive attitude is infectious. She is full of energy and has a tendency to be impulsive, which sometimes gets her in trouble. Many men find her personality to be a bit too much for their taste, preferring for a more submissive type instead.
Rose isn’t lacking in self-confidence, though. Her parents raised her in a loving household where she learned the value of hard work and a love of nature. She works at Turner Roses, the nursery her parents started and run together. Rose had once thought she might want to escape her hometown and spend time traveling the world, but those plans changed seven years ago. Now she finds working in the greenhouses therapeutic, and she credits it for helping her recovery along. But her hard-working parents have begun discussing retirement recently, which means the nursery will be sold. Rose had plans to take it over one day, but unless she can come up with the downpayment money for a loan, her dreams of owning Turner Roses will soon be gone.
Beau Dillon, thirty-four, is a notorious player in the LA scene. The gossip columns chronicle the handsome millionaire’s endless parade of women – he is never seen with the same woman twice. Ironically, he wants to find his one true love someday, but he has no qualms about enjoying himself in the meantime. He and his best friend Max own and manage a portfolio of exclusive event venues. They sell privacy, opulence, and romance for their elite clientele. Discretion is of the utmost importance. Beau is confident and magnetic. He is the face of the company, working with clients and drumming up business, while his business partner Max largely runs everything that takes place behind the scenes. They started out with nothing and built their business from the ground up. They have been adding to their portfolio of properties over the years and hope to close on another deal soon.
Unfortunately, their business has taken a hit since an unfortunate incident last month resulted in offending an important client. If they don’t do something to change their image, their company could crumble as a result. Max finally forces Beau to recognize and take responsibility for his wayward behavior, but fixing their reputation in a hurry seems to be an impossible task. When Beau comes across Faux’s in an internet search, he sees the solution to all their woes. With Della’s help, he sets about choosing an escort to pose as his fake fiancée. He figures a brief fake engagement will show the public that he is a changed man. After one month with Rose at his side, he can then return to his old ways.
Beau and Rose embark on an arrangement that is beneficial to both. Beau hopes to win the confidence of both new and returning clients, and Rose will be poised to purchase her parents’ nursery with the cool $100,000 she earns for her services for the month. Their work relationship is on the up and up, but that’s not to say that they don’t enjoy one another in private. Beau has a voracious appetite, and Rose can be rather aggressive with men. Neither has unrealistic expectations about a relationship; they are just having a good time while they wait for the contract to expire.
Rose, however, turns out to be different than any woman Beau had known before. He soon begins to wonder if she might just be the one true love he had been waiting for all along. Rose can see herself falling for Beau, but she knows that she doesn’t fit into his world. He is a player who would never fall for someone simple like her. Things get complicated when Rose’s parents learn about her new beau. If they were to discover that she had worked as an escort, it was sure to disappoint. The two work through their evolving feelings for one another while trying to trick friends, family, and the media alike. It is a recipe for disaster, but the couple eventually finds a happy ending.
Beau and Rose’s story is a romance with relatively low drama. Valentine’s Day is covered in the story, but I would not classify it as a Valentine’s Day romance. Rose’s character has a little more depth than Beau’s, but he is still very likable. They both come from humble beginnings, yet their lives are radically different. They seem to have nothing in common on the surface, but once their personalities come into the picture, it is obvious what a great match they make. Beau likes to live his life big and bold, which ends up working well with Rose’s free-spirited and impulsive personality. With her, he finally feels free to be himself. In Beau, Rose finds a man who appreciates her authenticity and energy. Rose’s backstory is touching, and it is easy to see how her time in the nursery has become an important part of her life.
Beau and Rose’s fake fiancée romance begins with an explosive case of instant attraction. Beau needs to rehab his public image, and Rose needs a downpayment to purchase her family business. As their month-long relationship progresses, though, reality slips through and transforms their business relationship into something more. The story occasionally feels inauthentic, particularly the dialogue surrounding arguments. It is otherwise a light read. The story is told in first person. The POV alternates between Beau and Rose. I rate this book four stars.

Beau needs to save his business after his character is attacked for being a Casanova and a womanizer. Him and Max own several nightclubs and venues for weddings and events. One of the most recent was for a Shiekh and his bride to be. The bride was the one that was flirting with him but he didn't dissuade it. Social media was giving his business a bad reviews and it was showing on their bottom line with cancelations. So came up with the idea of hiring someone for a month to be his fake fiancee so they would think he was off the market. In comes Rose, a nice woman that wants to buy out her parents Flower/Rose shop. She needs money to put down to get a loan so she can give the money they need to retire. She finds the same website that Beau finds and applies. They meet and she signs a NDA and agrees to be his fake fiancee for him. She does really do social media so she really doesn't know who Beau is a first. But she does make him agree to use the Rose shop for his venues. He agrees. The first event he takes her to everyone wants to know who she is. He introduces her as his girlfriend and everything goes from there. He lives in LA and she lives in Filmore, just about an hour away. He enjoys being with her. He likes her personality and her quick wit. He stops at his home after the dinner at a client's home before taking her home. She can't believe he lives in a mansion similar to the one they just left. He shows her around his home. They eventually go for a swim and one thing leads another and they have wild sex. This fake relationship slowly becomes more. But they don't see at first. Too people that weren't looking for love or a relationship soon becomes more then cleaning up Beau's image. He concerned with her being hurt by the media and how it will affect her relationship with her parents. He will do whatever it takes to correct it. Because he realizes he really loves her. Another great love story by Weston Parker. Once you start reading this book you won't want to put it down. Totally recommend reading this love story.
What do you do when rumours of your flirtatious behavior starts to sink your business....get a fake fiance from Fauxs!!! Beau and his business partner and best friend, Max, are in the business of selling love...or least hosting parties and weddings for the rich. In the need for an image rehab, Beau signs up for a fake fiance for one month for one hundred thousand dollars. What he didn't expect was the bold beauty sent his way. Rose is happiest working in her parents nursery tending to the roses. With her parents plan to retire, she is taken by surprise when they announce their plan to sell instead of handing her the reins. In a moment of panic she signs up at Faux to earn enough to buy the nursery without telling het parents her plans. One month to pose as a fake fiance doesn't sound too bad, unless he's a troll. From the first meeting there is a chemistry and Rose is definitely not like any woman has ever met. Rose is honest to a fault and goes for what she wants in a straight forward way. All seems too good to be true until Beau cancels on a dinner date to meet Rose's parents for a work emergency. Throw in a rumor that could ruin Rose and her parents in their small town and Rose calls it quits with Faux and Beau breaking her own heart in the process. Beau is ready to truly turn in his forever bachelor status and make Rose's dreams come true... it she'll give him a second chance. I love the banter dialogue between Beau and Rose from their first date till the end. His/her POV, no cheating, no cliffhanger and a truly deserved HEA. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book and happily purchased a copy for my favorites collection. Looking forward to the next Faux match!!!
This is Book 3 in A Faux Love Novel Series by this author. It is a lighthearted romance between millionaire Beau and rose nursery employee Rose. These flawed but likeable characters and the unique plot make for an entertaining read. What starts out as a fake fiancee arrangement turns into something more. It is a sweet love story filled with drama, humor, frustrating moments, family dynamic, unexpected twists, and passion, plus appealing secondary characters to keep the reader interested. The main characters share an undeniable chemistry and connection. An easy read with a happy ending. It can be read as a standalone but you enhance your reading pleasure if you read the other books in the series.
I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
I think I love Weston Parker!!❤ This is such an awesome series. Rose is the daughter of the owners of a rose nursery. She wants to buy the business so her parents can retire and travel. Therefore she needs a fast infusion of money. She registers with Faux, hoping to get enough money to qualify for a loan. Meanwhile Beau needs to mend his reputation as a playboy. He plans to hire a nice clean cut girlfriend and then pretend to be engaged. All seems to go according to plan until it doesn't! I loved the characters. Rose is so sweet and down-to-earth with a great work ethic, and yet still a little wild. Beau loves his wealth, and works hard to stay successful. Great story with a really nice bit of sex. Another beautiful romance!!
This is the 3rd book in this series, but can be read as a stand alone. We meet Beau, billionaire, single, somewhat of a playboy, and Rose, also single, works with her parents at the family rose business. The two meet when he needs to fix his image and she wants to buy the rose business from her parents. I am not going to go into any detail, as I would prefer you read the book.
I highly recommend this and any or all of Weston Parkers books. He grabs your attention right away, keeps the pages turning, add in some romance, a few twists, some angst and always a great ending.
I received a free ARC copy from the author and freely give my honest review.
Ahhh, Beau and Rose! Image improvement, that's the goal for Beau - his business is being hurt because of his womanizing ways. So what's better than a fiancé (fake of course) to improve what people think! Enter Faux... Save the family business, that's what Rose needs - she needs the money for a downpayment to buy the family business. Enter Faux...
Beau and Rose are paired together and what starts as strictly business becomes so much more! There are laughs, tears, steam, and off-the-charts chemistry! Great addition to this wonderful series.
You’ll love it! Rose works for her family’s rose nursery and is trying to raise the money to purchase it so her parents can retire. Beau needs an image remake and thinks a fake fiancé is it. They go for it, and it leads to lots of laughs and a really great read. HEA? You’ll love finding out. Warning: This book is hard to put down before the very last word. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This is book #3 in the Faux Love series and Weston Parker did not disappoint us with another fantastic story. I absolutely fell in love with Ryan Jones and how going to his high school reunion and wedding of his high school ex girlfriend would bring him to the woman who is supposed to be his pretend girlfriend but was his exgf best friend and they didn't get along much but can they both pull this off knowing everyone knows them both? Fantastic book.
FAKE IT FOR NOW A Faux Love Novel by Weston Parker When Beau Dillon's business starts taking a hit due to his womanizing ways and flirting with the wrong woman, he needs a quick change of change up. After contacting Faux's which is a high end exclusive escort agency, he is paired with Rose Turner who is willing to pretend to be his fiance. What starts as a business transaction quickly becomes more. The chemistry between the two is on fire. This is a very entertaining, well written, solid read. Weston Parker has the ability to give all his characters such heart and depth. This is 5 stars.
So Good I started this book just like all the others but it was just something about Beau and Rose that grab my heart. He was wealthy and a play boy that got caught up in something and her a love for her parents wanting to do right by them that just made this a great read. I sat mesmerized page after page and was left with wanting more. Thanks again Weston for another great read.
Another brilliant book by Weston. Loved the storyline between Rose and Beau Loved the connection between them both. So glad they are getting a happy ever after. Loved her Parents too. They were really warm loving people and Kara was a brilliant best friend who never judged Rose no matter what. A Cinderella story coming true ❤
I’ve not read a romance book (knowingly) written by a man. I thought only another woman could know and understand “our” fantasies. WRONG!
I’m going to read all your stories. You are on my favorite author list, now. Weston Parker, please continue sharing your imagination of fantasy romance with us.
Cute, humorous and sassy! Beau needs a fake engagement to clean up his image so his event business won't suffer. Rose, a real sweet young lady, needs a huge amount of money to purchase the family flower business, so her parents can finally retire. The problem: she signs on with an "escort" App and her privacy soon becomes a thing of the past.
I really enjoy the book from Weston Parker and his sister Ali . Each story will drag you in so you get to experience what the writer is feeling I loved the chemistry between Beau and Rose what started out as a business contract soon became real love. Highly recommend you won't be disappoimted.
Beau gets a bad rep for flirting with a bride to be...needs to clean it up so his business improves. Rose needs money to but out her parents rose shop. He picks her from Faux's, and there's a mutual attraction. Great read and main characters. Looking forward to the next book.
I’m a fan of the Faux Love novels, but Fake It for Now just didn’t do it for me. Reasons: the heroine, Rose, acts so infantile, every time an obstacle is encountered; I also lost track of the number of times she “giggled”, but it was a lot! Children giggle. Adults laugh, chuckle, cackle, snicker….
Only just found this author, so glad I did. I love this series of books, they are all standalone books, the only thing linking them is the agency called Faux. Loved this story between Beau and Rose. I really like that there is plenty going on, lots of emotions but no unnecessary angst. Can’t wait to start the next one ❤️
Absolutely loved it! Weston hit another grand slam with this one. I love the way the characters come to life as you are reading the story. Can’t wait to see if there is another one in this series.
I loved this book. Beau and Rose's story had me glued to every single page. The emotional whirlwind had me in tears but the chemistry between these just popped right out the page. As usual you outdid yourself once again Weston Parker. Can't wait for the next book.
I admit, when I first started reading this book I thought "just another fake love story". This is different from most I have read. Once again parked has written a story that keeps the reader unable to put it down!!
I absolutely loved Rose and Beau's story. The characters were great and you definitely found yourself laughing at the two of them. Great storyline and a beautiful HEA. Great job Weston Parker! On to book 4!
Oh my goodness I just loved Beau and Rose story!!! They didn't meet in the normal way but their connection was almost instant!! I would recommend this book to everyone!!
