About this listen
I can't believe it's come to this...
It was your classic case of opposites. I was the football star; he was the class clown that put itching powder in my jockstrap. I'm laid-back; he's in-your-face loud. I've told everyone for years that I hate him...but hate has an opposite, too.
His name is Tripp. He's a social media star. And he's so damn vibrant he makes my teeth ache. And I need to ask him for a favor.
My parents are coming to town. The same social climbing idiots who disowned me when I refused to go into something "prestigious", like medicine or law. The same parents who made my grandmother so upset when they called the other day that she bragged about my new celebrity boyfriend.
I don't have a boyfriend, celebrity or otherwise.
Now, my parents are coming back to town, intent on meeting my nonexistent partner. I just want to get through this visit, appease their pride, and watch them go away again.
If Tripp will play pretend for me, maybe we can make it through this visit without bloodshed. And if my inner wolf will settle down, maybe I won't have to wonder whether he's my fated mate or not.
Welcome to Blackwater, Montana - a small town with a big personality, where shifters and humans coexist. Claimed by My Pretend Boyfriend is a dual-point-of-view shifter audiobook with mentions of mpreg and a guaranteed happy ending. The sixth and final in this series, this audiobook can also be enjoyed as a stand-alone.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good story, enjoyed the narration
This is a frenemies-to-fake boyfriend-to fated mates story. Decker and Tripp are old high school mates that played pranks on each other, so they weren't exactly the best of friends. However, when Decker needs to prove to his mum that he has a famous boyfriend, he asks Tripp who agrees. As they keep up appearances with the fake relationship, it becomes clear that they do have a connection and both are willing to take it further.
Alex Esquire does a good job with the narration. I enjoyed his voices for the characters. The pacing/cadence was really good.
A very good way to enjoy the story.

Worth the listen
I actually really enjoyed the narration on this story and felt the low angst was perfect for this couple. They were very sweet together and were very open to communication which was a nice shift from so many other overdone tropes.

Entertaining
I really liked the story of Decker and Tripp. They have known each other for years, and are complete opposites. Youthful pranks made them frenemies, but when Decker needs a fake boyfriend to appease his parents, he asks Tripp. I loved these MCs! Tripp is funny, snarky, and the perfect foil for the laid back, serious Decker. Oh, and they are fated mates, too. This was just a fun, entertaining low angst story.
The narration is good, although it sounded like their were a few lines erroneously repeated.
I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

I definitely love fake partner stories
I love fake partner and hate to love stories. I really enjoyed the dual point of view too. I really liked Aleks Esquire’s voice and inflection. It was definitely a story I really enjoyed listening to. And it’s a story I haven’t read prior to listening, but I had no problem keeping up, now I need to get the book. I would recommend this audio book.

Really enjoyed
I really enjoyed listening to this fake boyfriend story that turns into a real relationship with a surprise as well. Decker and Tripp have some problems with interfering family members.

When pretend becomes reality...
Decker Savage and Tripp Ingram have known each other since they were kids in school. Growing up, Tripp was the class clown, always looking for the next opportunity to prank his crush, Decker. He was the proverbial thorn in Deck’s side, trying to get his attention. But, the laid back jock, was oblivious to Tripp’s interest. He just thought Tripp was annoying with all of his attention-seeking antics.
They wound up in shockingly similar positions as adults despite their differences. Tripp became a Yoga instructor with a cool yurt studio, and an impressive following for the instructional videos he posts online. Meanwhile, Decker became a football coach and personal trainer who also uploads instructional videos online for his followers. Together, they’re both incredibly successful in their careers and online.
That begs the question, how do they wind up getting together for their happily ever after? Simple. Decker’s sweet Nona might have told his pretentious parents he was dating someone famous to keep them from disrupting their lives. You see, Decker's estranged from his parents. They wanted him to have a distinguished career worthy of bragging about and, in their opinion, being a coach and personal trainer doesn’t cut it. They’re concerned he’s spending the money they’re sending him on a ‘party boy’ lifestyle, and are insisting they pay a visit to make sure everything is in order.
The problem with Nona’s claim is Deck only knows one person who could be considered famous, and that someone is Tripp. If he doesn’t bite the bullet and ask Tripp for help, his parents will cut off the money which can’t happen because he uses it to take care of his Nona. So, Deck takes the plunge. When he does, Tripp couldn’t be happier about the request to play Deck’s pretend partner. He’s had a thing for Deck since school and he’s hoping something more will come from the arrangement. Perhaps if they spent time getting to know each other Deck will realize they’re good together. Little does he know, his hopeful wishing is about to become reality.
Together, the two men get to know each other on a deeper level. The time they spend together is all in the name of making their relationship believable. But, along the way, things begin to shift until they’re no longer faking it. Even with Deck’s meddling mother trying to destroy what they have, they come out on top of it all.
With this sort of trope, I can either take it or leave it. I don’t have a lady-bone for fake boyfriends like a lot of other people do. Though, I do find it enjoyable from time to time. I have to admit this was a sweet fake boyfriend story that I thoroughly enjoyed.
At first, I was a bit confused by Deck’s parents sending him money. If he was disowned, why would they even bother? But, after the conversation he has with his dad, it made sense. His dad wasn’t nearly as bad as his wretched mother, but he did come across as spineless which made me like him a lot less.
I found this story both sweet and engaging. There were moments when the characters came across as immature. But, if you give them a chance you’ll see just how mature they really are. They put their relationships and careers before starting a family. To me, that means they were trying to build a strong foundation before starting their family.
I’d also like to point out that this is my first ever Aleks Esquire audiobook. I wasn’t sure what to expect with him, but I liked his reading style. He throws himself into the narrating which makes the character more interesting and the story more vivid.
Overall, I think if you like the Blackwater Pack series, Liam Kingsley, and/or Aleks Esquire, give this book a chance. It’s a fun addition to the rest of the Blackwater series. I’d for sure recommend this book to anyone into mpreg, m/m romance, and shifters.

Great entry in the series
I always love stories with the fake boyfriend trope and it is very well handled here. Decker and his grandmother are financially dependent on Decker's rich, nasty, controlling parents (although Dad turns out to be a stand up guy). They want him to stop doing videos and do something "real" like go to med school. Grandma tries to help the situation by telling Decker's mother he has a celebrity boyfriend. Mom likes the sound of that and decides to come visit and meet said boyfriend. The only problem is, there isn't one. Fortunately for Decker, a famous video yoga star that he knows from high school does live in town. The two have been dancing around each other for years and in high school were more like enemies that friends with their pranks and picking on each other. Tripp agrees to help and as this title blatantly gives away, it is fated mates time. It is clear very early that these two belong together and there is a wonderful scene where Decker reads the riot act to his mom, chooses Tripp and HEA and babies ensue. It was great to see characters from earlier books again and just as an indication of how much they have become old friends, I was worried in the first chapter when Nash was drinking again. The alcohol abuse problem seems to have been solved, but that scene distressed me and I worried about him all through the book. Fortunately, he and Holden and the kids are still blissfully happy. This completes the series for me, but I hope we eventually get more visits to Blackwater. The narration by Aleks Esquire was nicely done. The character voices were distinct (not easy with all these male voices to handle) and the emotions were realistic and never over the top.

Tripp and Decker
Brilliantly written and narrated. Decker needs to find a famous boyfriend before his parents arrive to meet him after his grandmother gave that to his parents, so Decker asks a school joker to help him out. Little to either they are fated mates. Decker's mother was a nasty piece of work and I hope she stays away.
