Sparks will fly on this roadtrip from
hell...Fool Me Once is the second novel in the Foolproof Love series from
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Katee Robert and Entangled
Publishing.
They say opposites
attract, but this is just ridiculous.
Aubry Kaiser doesn’t
like people—actually, that’s not right. She loathes people. With her crippling
anxiety, there’s no way she can demo her favorite video game at a convention
with five thousand other people. Maybe if she brings someone to act as a
shield…
But the only person
available is the sexy cowboy she can’t stand.
Quinn Baldwyn is in a
mess of his own. He’s been dodging his wealthy family’s matchmaking
attempts—and life advice—for years, but with his sister’s wedding on the
horizon, he needs of a shield of his own.
He and Aubry can
barely hold down a civil conversation, but in bed…fireworks. And the closer
they get to Quinn’s sister’s wedding, the more he realizes that he might
actually like Aubry.
Now it’s up to him to
convince her she might actually like him, too.
Quinn Baldwyn enjoyed his life working as a cowboy on the Rodriguez
Ranch far, far away from the piranhas he called his parents; the only reason
there was even contact between him and his oil tycoon father, is because of his
sister Jenny. And it was only because it was Jenny's wedding was he even going
to be near them, but it didn't stop Quinn from dreading the nasty dig and gold
digging women that were going to be thrown in his way by his parents, trying to
get him back into the family firm. But until then, he can hang out with his
friends Adam and his new wife Jules and poke at the one women who hates him with a passion…Aubry Kaiser.
Aubry Kaiser hates people! (I can totally relate) Not even being
dramatic with that statement! Aubry social anxiety and fear of the Zombie and
werewolf apocalypse (hey! Ya never know 😉) With exception of her best
friend Jules and her husband Adam; Aubry stays home and plays her life line aka
Deathmatch game or designing websites. When she does head out, she goes to
Jules café Cups and Kittens (awesome name!), and she hope and preys that her
defender Jules is there…and not the person who likes to poke at her. Aubry now
has a issue; she has been invited to a to an exclusive Deathmatch closed
testing at DeathCon, which would mean she would have to leave Devil Fall's and
head to California and be around PEOPLE
(Insert horrifying scream).
Jules (whom no one can say no too) set the plan that Quinn will protect
Aubry from people at DeathCon, and Aubry will protect Quinn at his sisters
wedding. And as these to set off for Cali; we are left wondering if there is a
fine line between love and hate…or if that is just a myth!
To say I enjoyed this book, is an understatement! I don't think I have
laughed so much in a while! If you haven't read the first book, DON'T WORRY!
Fool Me Once can definitely be read as a standalone, as the author did an
amazing job with writing the back story and introducing all of the characters,
writing the plot in such a way that that you never miss anything.
The chemistry between Quinn and Aubry steamy! Quinn is all cocky and
bravado with a gentle center that his parents didn't manage to destroy. Aubry
on the other hand grew up with a crummy mother, who was disappointed that she
went to college! It's understandable that she had issues. I will say I can't
wait for Daniel and Hope's story!!
I give Fool Me Once 5 stars!
“You know, I’ve been thinking—”
“Good God, don’t strain yourself.”
“—and I’m thinking that I need a better nickname for you. Sweet cheeks
might be accurate, but no one in my family is going to believe I’d call the
woman I’m in a relationship with something that…lowbrow.”
She tilted her sunglasses down to stare at him over the top of them. It
made her amber eyes stand out all the more. “How about you call me nothing at
all? Because that sounds ideal from where I’m sitting.”
“Nah. I’ve always been a fan of pet names.”
“One—I can tell. Two—save your pet names for your actual animals.”
She’d left that one wide open, but he chose to ignore it. Just this
once. He twined her hair around his finger again. “I was thinking bunny.”
“You can call me bunny if you want to provoke me to actual physical
violence.”
Yeah, it didn’t fit, either. He relaxed back into his seat, starting to
enjoy the idea of this. “Cherry.”
“Hard pass.”
“Cookie.”
“No way.”
He wondered when she’d noticed that he was still stroking her hair. He
hadn’t been lying when he said they would have to put on a good show for his
family. That meant he had to get her used to him touching her, at least in
these innocent ways. Or that was what he told himself as he kept playing with
the ends of her hair.
And touching in the not-innocent ways?
To distract himself, he said, “Peaches. No, don’t look at me like that.
You got to pass on three—that’s your limit. And you smell like peaches.” He
leaned a little closer, keeping one eye on the road, and adopted his best
Nicholas Cage voice, “I love peaches. I could eat peaches for hours.”
“Ew, gross.”
He sat back and laughed. “You have a problem with a man worshiping you
that way?”
“I have a problem with Nicholas Cage comparing my lady bits to a
fruit and, frankly, the image of him down there is enough to kill any desire
the act would cause.”
She sounded so horrified that he laughed again. Or he started to. The
problem with teasing her like this was he was now picturing himself
between her thighs. Quinn shifted, trying to get his instant physical reaction
under control. His cock wasn’t in a cooperative mood, though, and his brain
kept serving up images of Aubry’s back arching, her fingers digging into his
forearms, her head thrown back in ecstasy he was giving her.
Jesus Christ.
