Toni and Blair were friends once, or at least Blair had thought they were friends until Toni's betrayal caused a botched sting operation that had nearly cost him his life. His misplaced trust in her had cost the lives of two of his friends. Toni arrives back in Blair's life under mysterious circumstances when she crashes her Porsche near his driveway. When she wakes after the accident she has no memory of her past except for the strange disconnected images of a murder scene that haunt her dreams.Blair wants to take down Toni's lover Farrell Hagen, the man responsible for the deaths of his friends. To do this Blair needs information he believes Toni can give him once she regains her memory. Desperate to keep Toni safe until she can give him the information he needs Blair tells Toni they were long time friends and had planned to spend the Christmas holidays together. But the fraud he perpetrates takes on a life of its own and reality begins to pattern itself after his lie when this Toni is nothing like the Toni he knew before the accident and he finds himself emotionally and sexually attracted to her. As they work together to try to piece together the meaning behind the disjointed scenes of a murder that haunt Toni's dreams the attraction between them flares. When they make love for the first time they learn that things can't possibly be as they seem. This knowledge puts them on a collision course with death as they race to unlock the secrets of Toni's mind before the killer comes for Toni.

Blair Kierstead used to be a Federal agent until an undercover assignment went wrong. He has, since then, suspected Toni Greer betrayed him then, costing the lives of
two of his friends and nearly costing him his own.
Toni is back in Blair's life, but suffers amnesia aside from nightmares showing a murder.
Blair thinks Toni may be able to put the man responsible for the deaths of his friends - among other criminal activities - away so he agrees to protect her until her
memory comes back.
As time passes, and new things come to light, both Blair and Toni find something unlooked for and unexpected.
Of the three books I received from Black Velvet Seductions, I found this one to be the one I liked most. What worked for me in the book is the following: storyline,
believable timeline, and how the seeming inconsistencies between what Blair "knows" of Toni's personality and what Toni "shows" while under Blair's protection are
worked out.
A good read and time well spent.

Blair had trusted Toni once. Her betrayal had almost cost him his life and had cost the lives of two of his friends.
Toni is back, but with no memory of her past except for the strange disconnected images of a murder scene in her dreams.
Believing that Toni has information that will be helpful in proving a case against Farrell Hagen, Toni's lover and the elusive criminal responsible for the deaths of his friends, Blair agrees to keep Toni safe until her memory returns.
What he doesn't count on is falling in love with her.
I liked this book pretty well, well written, some surprises in store for me. The ending was tied up well, I was happy with it. I put the book aside after the ride of the story, satisfied at a nice little mystery, romance, action packed book!

"Fool Me Once", by Jessica Joy, is an involving romantic suspense read. Great story line details, vivid, descriptive writing and a likeable cast of characters build up to the action-packed conclusion of this romantic adventure! The love story is sweetly passionate, with the hero and heroine discovering much about themselves as they learn about each other. I look forward to more great reads from Jessica Joy!
