After breaking off her engagement, thirty-something writing professor Andi Cutrone abandons New England for her native Long Island to focus on her career and start over. When she meets Devin at a cocktail party, the sight of an honest-to-goodness male escort shocks her—and fascinates her more than a little. Months later, Andi impulsively calls Devin. Over cheesecake in Brooklyn, she offers him a proposition: he will teach her how to be a better lover, and in return, she will give him writing lessons. He agrees, and together they embark upon an intense partnership that proves to be as instructive as it is arousing. For in the midst of lessons in rhetorical theory and foreplay, Andi and Devin delve into deeper questions about truth, beauty, and self, gradually coming face-to-face with the issues at the core of their emotional limitations. Smart, witty, and introspective, Faking It is an engrossing novel about two people discovering their authentic selves.
Elisa Lorello is the author of Ordinary World, a sequel to Faking It, and coauthor (with Sarah Girrell) of Why I Love Singlehood. She lives in North Carolina.

Amazon Exclusive: Elisa Lorello on Faking It
Every writer I’ve ever met or seen or read about talks about the relationships s/he has with her/his characters. They love them, be they men or women or heroes and villains. As readers we all have favorite characters, people we can imagine running into at the grocery store on a Tuesday, or whisking us off to a tropical island. We fall in love with characters in books as easily as we fall in love with characters from TV or films, or even in real life.
Back in 2005, when I had finished the first draft of Faking It, I read a sample chapter to my freshman composition students at the end of the semester (something I used to do to show that I, too, had messy first drafts, and that when it came to writing and revision, I practiced what I taught). No sooner had I finished reading the scene in which Devin and Andi meet at Junior’s did a female student blurt out, "Oh yeah. I’m in love with this guy. I want him."
The class and I laughed, of course, but I nodded my head and added, "Me too." And later, when a reader told me how much she was in love with Sam, I nodded and replied, "Me too."
In fact, if you total all the male protagonists and supporting characters I’ve written to date (including my latest work in progress), I’m completely in love with almost a dozen men. Every single one of them. And I may have a crush on a few women, too.
Like characters in dreams, almost every character I write, male or female, embodies some aspect of me, be it my greatest fear (like flying), strength (writing, or teaching), weakness (who, me--weak? never!), or attribute (thoughtful). That’s not to say that they’re autobiographical, but it certainly opens the door to my empathy for them. Some characters show confidence in certain abilities or aspects of themselves that I’ve never had, while others are completely insecure in ways that I am not. Some have done things I’ve never done, like play jazz or own a coffeeshop. Others share my taste in music and books and TV shows. Some are people I’d love to hang out with, date, or even be. Not a single one of them are even close to perfect. The fun in writing these characters is the ability to make them say or do or be anything I want.
Except I don’t.
At some point, the characters take on a life of their own, and instead of my putting words into their mouths, they’re whispering in my ear. Instead of my telling them where to go, they’re three steps ahead of me. My characters constantly surprise me, and there always comes a point when I know I have to just get out of their way and let them be. I may not always agree with their actions, and I may be shocked by their secrets, but in the end I love them dearly and would stand by any one of them.
The other day, my hairdresser (who’s been reading my latest novel, Why I Love Singlehood) said to me, "I just love Kenny. Was he based on anyone you know in real life?"
"No," I replied, "but if you ever meet someone like him, let me know and give him my phone number." --Elisa Lorello
From Booklist
Andi Cutrone harbors a shameful secret. The 34-year-old writing professor is sexually inexperienced, to put it mildly. Enter Devin, a male escort with chiseled features Michelangelo would admire. The two reach an unusual agreement. She'll teach him about writing, and he'll help her lose her inhibitions in the bedroom. In short order, Andi's prancing about in bra and panties, and Devin is enthralled by her rhetoric lectures (an academic fantasy if ever there was one). Though the two are contractually obligated to maintain a strictly-business relationship, it doesn't take a PhD to see where this is heading. As they expose more of themselves to each other, and not just physically, they draw closer. But can Andi trust her feelings? Or Devin's? Once you get past the contrivance of the premise, it's clear that these characters have a certain charm as they fumble toward happiness. There is also appeal in the message that the most uptight of women can be taught to channel her Sex and the City inner vixen. --Patty Wetli
Review
"Elisa Lorello has delivered a very well written story that any woman can appreciate. It’s got breakup scenes, the revenge meeting after losing weight, the ability to enjoy sex without self-conscious fear, and the promise of a real, loving relationship. I connected with it on every level."--bestromancestories.com

Aren't we all "Faking It?"
By maryo
This book was extremely interesting and provocative. The heroine is naive and very shy about her sexuality. Then, one day she meets the hero, who just happens to be an escort. She is shocked, but curiously attracted to him. Her past experiences with men have never been satisfying. Then she steps out of her comfort zone, and makes an agreement with the escort to help him learn to express with writing skills, in exchange for his teaching her to learn to express and improve her sexuality. Over time, they both become excellent students, and excel in their studies. Even though, in their agreement, they both promise not to fall in love. But then, the inevitable happens, they each fall in love with the other. As happens in life, the more time one spends with another, and the closer the feelings become intertwined, one begins to deny those feelings, truly "faking it". Great read. Makes one think and look inside themselves and examine their inner feelings. Very interesting.

A romance novel with different ending
By Lizzy
It is important to be your own best friend. The main character learns this lesson. I like books that show this motto is a good one to live by. It actually has a positive ending, in my opinion, even though the reader may think the main character doesn't end up with the man the reader may assume she will. I was actually happy who Andi ended up choosing: she ended up choosing herself. Go Andi!
