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.Four years later, and as fate would … life.
Four years later, and as fate would have it, Keegan and I are brought together again.
It’s as if the universe is telling us this is our second chance.
The more I get to know him, the harder I fall.
Falling hopelessly in love is inevitable with a man like him.
Only the joke’s on me, because the guy I’m falling for isn’t the man I thought he was.
You know how the saying goes: Fool me once…
I’ll be damned if I’m fooled again.
Fool Me Once is a standalone romance

This book hit home to me on a personal level. I had a baby at the end of my senior year of high school and went on to be a School Counselor. Blakely has had a hard life and deserves any reservations she may have, enter Keegan. There was a lot of mystery until the end. I’m impatient but it was a nice wrap up and HEA.
Blakely and Keagan met one day on a beach when Keagan threw a football near her. Blakely thought it would be her last fling before school started. After an amazing week together they went to separate towns. Blakely hoped Keagan would call her but he never did…..then she finds out she’s pregnant. 4 years later they are reunited. Their love story is so beautiful, Nikki knocked another one out of the park. I did not want this one to end!
Oh Keegan!!
As usual Nikki doesn’t disappoint!
I always say I love Nikki Ash’s books, but damn! I just loved this book! It had everything you are accustomed to getting from Nikki. Laugh out loud moments, shocked moments, hot up in here moments, dying moments and loving the book again moments FMO makes you fall in love with every character and cheering for everyone involved. It’s definitely one of those books that makes you believe in second chances and fate absolutely loved everything about Keegan and he is definitely my book boyfriend until Nikki’s next book
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 of these characters from start to finish. I cried, I laughed and swooned, and still not over this book. The book hangover of all book hangovers, just got real!
One thing I can always count on is Nikki giving us amazing characters. She doesn’t only give us the sexy, swoony and protective heroes like Keegan for us to fall in love with and drool over, but also a hot, strong, and sassy heroines like Blakely. You can’t help but love her and girl crush on her too. Our side characters dont stay far behind and really shine in this book. Reading Fool Me Once, you really feel part of the family and cant help but love all of them. I’d definitely sign up for being adopted into their family. The relationships that developed throughout the story, whether it be sisters, brothers, parents, friends; they’re all ones to envy and amazing witness in every word.
I loved this story, and can’t express it enough with all my gushing. It’s not a book you want to read a review over. It’s the type of book you want to experience wholeheartedly and enjoy the ride from experience. Nikki Ash writes stories that stay with you for a long time, and Fool Me Once is at the top of my list. Amazingly written in dual POV, a complete standalone with it’s own HEA. Not only does the writing get top stars, but that cover is gorgeous enough not to want to stop looking at. Because of books like this is why Nikki Ash is one of my automatic 1-Click authors that u can just go blindly with anything she writes and never be disappointed. You need to add this book to your library and not wait to read, you’ll really be missing out. Can’t wait to see Nikki’s next book I’m already feigning for!
What happens on spring break stays on spring break, unless a surprise arrives nine months later. Blakely has a full ride for college, but adorable little Zane throws a monkey wrench in those plans. Fortunately, her sister is by her side and willing to help once Blakely finds another university that will accommodate her special circumstances, and t happens to be in the town where Zane’s father, Keegan, lives. Without a last name or a phone number, Blakely has been hoping to run into Keegan, but it’s been three years and it hasn’t happened yet.
If you like secret baby and single parent tropes, you need to add Ash to your list of go-to authors for those tropes, because she does them exceptionally well. Although this book is NA/YA, the characters are mature, multi-layered and relatable, and the conflict is realistic and believable, which makes for a compelling, entertaining read.
These larger-than-life characters owned my heart in no time at all, and I flew through this story in one sitting, eager to see how everything worked out. This one has just the right mix of all the elements we love in our romance reading. With a little humor, a ton of heart, and a heat index of two out of three flames, you won’t want to miss this touching, funny, phenomenal read.
Let me just say Nikki you did it again. Second chance love. There was a lot of heart break and love threw this whole book. Two sisters who love so hard and lose so much. But when they need each other threw the harder times they stick together!!! This book broke my heart and put it back together all over again. It made made me laugh and cry. Great read!!!
Being this is the first I have read by Nikki Ash have to say it was a great way to start. We have Blakely, a young sister who is trying to get her older sister back in her life falling in love for the first time after tragedy hits her family. The pain that she feels not just loosing a loved one but almost loosing her sister in the process is too much. I loved that Keegan was able to show her love from a guy being her first and in this case the only one she will never be able to forget. There is someting about Keegan that Blakely doesn’t know and it is because of this Keegan feels he is at a crossroads right now. These two together were funny, sad and yet we see a Blakely she never knew she had it in her. Little Zane was funny as well and will just grab your heart right away just like Big Keegan does in a heartbeat. The love they have might not have started all rainbows but it is the determination of Keegan that makes this love stick forever loved it.

This is another great story from Nikki Ash.
Sweet, low angst, and fabulous when you just want a lovely afternoon reading without to high emotion.
This story pulled me right in and before I knew half my day had gone and I couldn’t put the book down
I was not able to put this book down. I was completely and totally wrapped up in Blakley and Keegan from the beginning. There are so many twists that I didn’t see coming which made reading this exciting and fun along with the typically romance and steam that I’ve come to expect from this author. I’d give this book more than five stars if I could!
Wow what a great story! I alway look forward to reading a book from Nikki Ash and this one didn’t disappoint. It grab me right from the first page and keep me interested all the until the end. Her stories alway seem to have just right enough character build to make you engrossed and feeling for each character. Add in the bits of unexpected twist of angst/drama and you have an amazing book you can’t put down. This second chance romance will having you feeling sad, happy, love and angry as the story unfolds for Keagan and Blakely.
You know what did NOT fool me once… Nikki Ash writing another amazing story! From the first page to the last I was captured by the vast entertainment of Fool Me Once. Keegan and Blakely are two of my all time favorite characters. They have chemistry like no other. This book is smokin hot, funny, clever, surprising, and leaves you feeling like you never want it to end. A real page turner, with revelations the whole way through. If you are looking for a 5 star read with all the feels don’t pass this one up!
I freaking love these characters! Keegan and Blakely are amazing. They meet by chance at a FL beach. Fate has plans for these two. Four years later fate brings them back together with some surprises in store.
This was a short and steamy second-chance, miscommunication story. I liked the relationships between Keegan, Kane, and Blakely. Solid read overall.
This book is just EVERYTHING! Nikki Ash has done it again with an amazing, rollercoaster ride novel full of all the feels. With all the angst, laughter, and of course tears this book will have you hooked from start to finish! So twist and turns that I definitely was not expecting. Blakely and Keegan are that perfect that you can’t help but root for them to have a HEA. A definite must read!!
