Fool Me Once
by
I met Keegan when I was on the beach in Florida.
He literally crashed into my world.
I wasn’t 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 didn’t know it at the time, but that week would forever change my life.

This is my first read by Miss Ash. From the blurb I was expecting drama/angst/ sad story. What I found is surprising. Fool Me Once is feel good romance. Not clean romance.
This is a type of story where 1 sentence promising drama then next sentence solved it quickly without drama. There are a lot of wooing with body massage and hot tub. The characters do not evolved.
The tension between Branden and Keegan is sometimes really stupid.
The last twist at the end caught me by surprise.

⭐️ 4.5 "Jailbird" Stars ⭐️
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. Nikki Ash had me completely captivated and swooning over this adorable, yet sexy and suspenseful novel!
Blakely and Keegan meet on a beach during spring break in Florida. They share a palpable connection right away and few moments of passion, before separating to get bac ...more
Yes, yes, & yes!
This book was everything I needed. The plot wasn’t anything like what I expected, especially with the twist of Keegan’s secret.
This was honestly the cutest book ever. Super worth it. It wasn’t too long, but it also wasn’t short. The HEA was everything. The chemistry and obvious love between Keegan and Blakely was precious.
I simply loved it.
5 stars! Must re-read!!!

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

DNF at 29%
I loved the premise of this one, and I tried to see if I could make it work. Unfortunately, I was never able to connect with the heroine. I ended up skipping a few chapters and trying to read at the 50% mark to see if I liked her better and could start again at 29% knowing that I would like her more.

Good story.
I really liked the two main characters. They both felt a connection when they met 4 years ago, but he dropped his phone almost immediately after they parted ways. She ended up preggers and worked really hard to go to school. I loved that he knew immediately when he saw her that he wanted another shot, and he knew by looking that the kiddo was his. In real life I get the need for DNA tests, but in books it can be really crass. That being said, the characters weren’t unrealistic and the ...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 a quick, fun, smexy read with a nice little twist that I didn’t see coming, but definitely helped bring everything together in an interesting way.
I loved Keegan and Blakely. Blakely is strong, focused and determined. She has a huge heart and gives as good as she gets. Keegan is simply a really good man. Charismatic and protective the man was simply lethal.

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 I’m experiencing. I don’t 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 you’ll cry from happiness and twists and turns that having you gasping.

Great listen by Nikki Ash! Blakely & Keegan’s story is not a typical one. Love the twists & turns in this book. Awesome narration by Kelsey Navarro & Tim Paige.
Too boring! Really predictable! Very long paragraphs, making reading really irritating!
H has a son of 3 years and yet when he finds about it, he is meh...like yeah okay I have a son. It was a shock but why not, I've a great dick I make awesome babies!
His reaction after meeting his son was so simple so basic! I was clearly expecting more! Anyway, that little boy Zane their son, has hardly two to three lines in the whole damn book!

I really enjoyed this book. Great second chance meeting years later. One of my favorite reads so far this year.
Readers will jump for absolute joy when they get their hands on Nikki Ash’s 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 Ash’s I’d say this is sounding vaguely similar right? Ash’s 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 pregnan ...more

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.

Get ready to fall for Keegan! This guy is going to win you over in no time.
Blakely is 18 and she’s got a plan for what she wants from life. Determined to go to college she’s sworn off dates/men/fun until she makes her dreams a reality. I really liked Blakely. For an 18 year old she’s pretty mature which isn’t all that surprising given what she’s been through. With no parents to lean on, a sister that’s partying hard and closing herself off, Blakely is ready for the next stage of her life. Getti ...more

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.

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 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 didn’t 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 pl
