TOO MUCH FOR WORDS is what science
fiction novelist Judi Somers gets when she begs Felix, her old
school chum turned brilliant scientist, to translate her fictional
hero into a life-like android.
On paper, Race Parsec is an
interplanetary swash-buckling hero, the man against whom she
measures all other men. But for Felix, who’s been in love with Judi
for years, creating her perfect mate is pure agony. But Felix gets
even when he delivers the man of Judi’s dreams--or is he?
With nods to several SF writers,
Diana Rubino’s narrative is a funny, entertaining peek at what
happens when one woman actually gets what she asked for. This is a
refreshing departure from Ms. Rubino’s historical writing.—Kelly

Judi is a recently divorced writer who is feeling upset
as she gets her heart broken all the time. When her friend Felix tells her
about his research breakthrough into creating living beings, Judi wants in
on the research. Judi convinces him that she needs a perfect boyfriend. At
first Felix is against it, but he finely gives in.
Judi has to decide what her perfect boyfriend is like,
what traits he needs to have and what type of personality he needs. Leon from her
books would be a perfect boyfriend for sure. Once Leo is created Judi wants
him to be perfect. But maybe perfection isn't what Judi really needs. Maybe
Felix is really the best guy for her.
I enjoyed Fakin' It. It has a fun and cute plot. Leo
was super hot, but like Judi I probably would have gotten tired of him too.
He was just a bit annoying...too perfect. I did feel sorry for Felix for
loving Judi for such a long time and having to deal with her wanting someone
else. Luckily these two do end up together and have their HEA. The
friendship between Judi and Felix really made this book memorable.
