Fool Me Once is the second book in an adult contemporary romance series, called Foolproof Love, by Katee Robert. I really enjoyed the first book, Foolproof Love. I thought it was a fun book, and I loved the small town- gossipy setting. I knew I was going to love the second book before I even sat down to read it, because I love the little spitfire that is Audrey. I couldn't wait for her story.

Fool Me Once is told in dual narrative between Audrey and Quinn, which I have loved. Audrey and Quinn are each dynamic and explosive characters in their own right, but when you add them together- holy cow. You better step back. Audrey is a mega gamer, and she is pretty bad- A. So Bad-A that she is one of 10 gamers invited to a huge conference to alpha test (which comes before beta testing) a very popular game. The only problem is that Audrey has severe panic attacks and being in a crowded room with a bunch of strangers crowding her sounds awful to the extreme. Quinn has to go to his stuck up family's wedding, and because he doesn't want to hear a bunch of stuff about matching him up with a suitable woman he wants to bring a date. Reluctantly Audrey and Quinn decide they can help each other out. Quinn can be Audrey's wall between herself and the masses of people (he's big, so he makes a great wall!) and Audrey can ward off all of Quinns family. (She is a fantastic resting B face so she is great at warding people off.) That is, if they don't kill each other first.

I loved this story. It has a road trip, which is always fun, and I liked that it was split between Audrey doing Quinn a favor and Quinn doing Audrey a favor. Plus, all of that alone time leads to some most excellent chemistry. These two don't do anything half way. So when I say they have chemistry, it is scorch your eyebrows off- hot!

Bottom line: Fool Me Once is a whole lot of fun. Audrey and Quinn will leave you fanning yourself! For people, that love enemies to more stories, love a roadtrip, Love fake relationships and love great chemistry between characters, Fool Me Once will be right up your alley. Fool Me Once was even better than Foolproof Love, and I can't wait for the next book in the series.
