I met Keegan when I was on the beach in Florida.
He literally crashed into my world.
I wasnt looking for romance, but his two-dimpled charm made my heart go haywire.
We both had one thing in common: we were here to escape our realities.
One week. Just the two of us. Not a care in the world.
I didnt know it at the time, but that week would forever change my life.

When I first read the synopsis of Fool Me Once, I was already sold on this story. The fact it was implied that it was a secret baby romance made me even more excited as I enjoy those kind of stories.

OH MY!! I absolutely loved reading this book it was completely fantastic.
This is the first book that I've read by this author and I didn't know what to expect, I'm glad that I've found another great author to read their work. I really liked the story line and thought that it was written awesomely.

3.5 - 4 Stars... I can't decide how I feel.
I'm going to be completely honest... I went into this book blind. The only thing I knew was that it was a secret/surprise baby.
But I was SO CLOSE to DNF-ing this thing. I am not a fan of books that have main characters still in high school. And at the beginning of this book, the heroine was 18 (legal) but still in high school. And eventually I had to pause and put a little bookmark on my kindle page so I could scroll through and see if there was going ...more

This story hooked me from the first page. I do love a second chance romance and the chemistry between the characters certainly was electric! The steady build-up of feelings had me immersed in the story with them, willing them on. The swoony lead and the standoffish heroine were just perfect, the writing kept me enthralled the whole way through, I laughed and had a few happy tears. Then, throw in a splash of drama and it was all I could do to put my kindle down and be an adult!

This was my first Nikki Ash novel and I cannot express enough how much I loved it!!
Fool Me Once touched on several tropes which is why I think it touched on so many of my emotions. The story began with a heavy look on the relationship between Blakely and her sister Sierra. The family they now were, the family they lost, and the connection that Blakely was deeply trying to regain with her only remaining family member. There were so many times their relationship reminded me of my daughters and the ...more

Here I am yet again after reading a book by Nikki Ash and being left unable to pick up anything else due to the epic book hangover Im experiencing. I dont even know if I can word enough to explain just how incredible this book is. Fool Me On e was so much more than I ever dreamed it would be. Filled with heartfelt emotion, the swooniest of romance, moments so sweet youll cry from happiness and twists and turns that having you gasping.

Readers will jump for absolute joy when they get their hands on Nikki Ashs new release Fool Me Once. Set in the sunny sands of Florida, Ash brings together Blakely and Keegan during a week long spring break that changes the course of their lives forever.
Now, as a huge fan of Ashs Id say this is sounding vaguely similar right? Ashs debut novel, Fighting for a Second Chance from her successful Fighting series is set up very similarly. Guy and girl meet have a one time fling, unexpected pregnancy ...more
All The Stars!! All. Of.Them!
I have just read the end to Nikki Ash's best book yet and my new favorite! I'm talking, crack for your eyes type of addictive, unputdownable, page turner. Nothing could've prepared me for the twists and turns Keegan and Blakely's story took, and loved every single page of it. I couldn't get enough of these two, and the adorable Zane! Fool Me Once was all consuming in a "the rest of the world was nonexistent" kind of way. I devoured every word and felt every emotion ...more

Without doubt, Nikki Ash is becoming one of my favourite authors. Her writing is fab, the characters are great and so likeable, and she keeps me turning pages, never wanting the story to end!!
I adored Keegan and Blakely. The time they initially spent together and the eventual reconnection showed just what chemistry and spark this pair had.

Get ready to fall for Keegan! This guy is going to win you over in no time.
Blakely is 18 and shes got a plan for what she wants from life. Determined to go to college shes sworn off dates/men/fun until she makes her dreams a reality. I really liked Blakely. For an 18 year old shes pretty mature which isnt all that surprising given what shes been through. With no parents to lean on, a sister thats partying hard and closing herself off, Blakely is ready for the next stage of her life. Getting ...more

I have been a huge fan of Nikki Ash for a long time. With Fool Me Once, I was blown away at this amazing tale of second chances with unique twists that leave your head spinning. The connection between Blakely and Keegan was instant though she didnt feel that way at first. But Keegan wore her down. The twists and turns that separate these two were heartbreaking but also can so see that happen. I think that is one thing that really drew me in. The level of how much this book felt like it could

Excellent Read!
Good grief did Nikki Ash pack one heck of a story in under 300 pages! This is the kind of book I LOVE! Great storyline, steamy and a twist that will knock your socks off. The blurb doesn't do it justice, however after reading it, you'll see why. Plus the cover...a perfect fit! Unfortunately, this review will also be vague as to protect the various storylines.
