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.

Only the joke’s on me, because the guy I’m falling for isn’t the man I thought he was.

My Cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up :
1/2- I’m a sucker for a good second chance romance. Throw in a secret baby and I’m a goner, y’all! This was so good! I’m claiming Keegan as my current book boyfriend. I mean how sexy is his name right?! This couple was just magic together and I flew through their story.
-OMG! They are hotter than a beach in Florida in the middle of summer! Yeah! That hot, my friends!
Cliffhanger Warning- NO CLIFFHANGER! I love this kind of HEA folks!
Believe in FATE!
Fool me Once is a heartwarming romance that will have you believing in fate. When Blakely meets Keegan on the beach she has no idea what’s in store for them. They only get to spend a week together before they both have to go back to reality. Both of them can’t stop thinking about each other, but they have no way to get in contact. When fate steps in and brings them back together watch out!! I loved this book from start to finish. Pick it up and see how it all goes down. You won’t be disappointed.
Are you look for a story that leaves you saying, “WTH?”, well this is the book for you. Secret baby, second chance romances are some of my favs. This one did not disappoint.
Our heroine, Blakely is so real and full of heart. I love who she is as a person, sister, but most importantly mother. Plan to be impressed with what a survivor she is after experiencing such loss at a young age.
The second chance element is beautifully done with our yummy hero, Keegan leading the charge. I love how he steps up to the plate when he has a big surprise thrown his way.
It was noticeable that we weren’t getting the full picture with Keegan especially considering Blakely’s detailed storyline. As the story progresses you keep getting more pieces to the puzzle with a big surprise that leaves you reeling. I didn’t guess correctly by the way. It is REALLY intense and causes ALL KINDS OF EMOTIONS. Yes, I might have been a little PO’d and truthfully would have held a grudge A LOT LONGER, if I were Blakely. All I can say is read it and tell me what you think. (Wink)
Hope you enjoy this touching, sweet, angsty, and romantic story like I did. Happy Reading Everyone! XOXO
I loved Blakely and Keegan’s story. I thought the Book was well written and It had such a great storyline. I loved that Blakely was such a mousy type of character and Keegan seemed to be the guy that has it all looks personality and your all around fun type of guy. I loved that it wasn’t what I thought at some parts which made me love the book even more. I was honestly speechless when all the parts came together and said WOW i couldn’t of and certainly wouldn’t of thought that! I loved the secret baby part but it was intentional but still made it great! There certainly was plenty of drama love fun banter and overall sass!
This book should be on your must read now list it will not disappoint!!!

5 Stars ++
Oh my stars!! So amazing!! Totally blown away! I really fell in love with the characters. There are twists and turns, laughter, tears, and a happily ever after!! So attention grabbing and addicting I didn’t want it to end!! Loved it so much!!
“We’re the luckiest guys in the world to have you two by our sides and we’d be fools not to make sure you’re ours forever.”
Very highly recommend. You definately won’t be disappointed!!
Fool Me Once is a beautiful secret baby romance! Secret baby romances are my guilty pleasure but I especially like ones where it’s logical that the baby is a secret. In the case of Blakely and Keegan, they have a spring break hookup and when there’s a surprise afterwards, Blakely has no way of getting in touch with Keegan, despite her best efforts. When they run into each other years later, they have to learn how to be a family and whether they should have a romantic relationship. The bond between Blakely, Keegan, and Zane is so sweet and everything I wanted in a story like this!
OMG! I devoured this book! I could not put it down from the first page I was pulled in by Blakely’s story. Blakely has been dealt a tough hand in life, but still pushes to make it the best. Then we meet Keegan, the hot, little bit older guy that helps them both escape their lives for the time they have at the beach. The chemistry between these two is hot enough to start fires and then they have to go back to their realities. Blakely has been doing her best to make her dreams happen and then reenters Keegan into that plan. Blakely and Keegan have a lot to learn about each other and they take you on an emotional, every which way and still not sure what where their journey will end, rollercoaster. This story throws quite a few curveballs that you won’t see coming and have to keep reading to find out. I loved this story!
Wow. 4.5 Nikki Ash really blew my expectations out of the park with this book! The only plot line was romantic, sexy, and overall entertaining to read. I have been reading Nikki Ash’s work for awhile now, and it’s always been a pleasure to read. New or rereading the older novels. The characters were fun to learn about and the drama was overall entertaining and enjoyable. I can’t wait for more from Nikki Ash!!
I loved this second chance romance. Nikki does a great job of bringing characters to life and making you fall in love with them. Zane was the cutest guy ever!
Holy cannoli! This was fabulous. As usual there were a few things i didn’t see coming but the author wrote this book so well! I loved the cute meet up of the two main characters and what transpired after that. Keegan was so hotttttt and lord i wish we got more on Kolton. At first ill admit Sierra was not one of my favorites but she definitely grows on you as my friend mentions. Was a great book. can’t wait for more!

This is a second chance romance.
Keegan and Blakely meet on Spring Break and have a wonderful time together, however because of their rules and fate they lose each other for a couple of years.
This was enjoyable read but what I loved the most was the bond between the sisters, Blakely and Sierra; they both experienced deep tragedy young and later on they only had each other.
Our couple meets again a few years later, but this Keegan and Blakely are older and they have some very important things to talk about. There are so many twists and turns that would lead to spoilers so I will be very vague.
I liked Keegan and Blakely, but they both did get on my nerves from time to time. Blakely although doing her best in her life with her sister’s help, I feel like she didn’t make the best results. I feel like she jumps into things without thinking clearly or asking for more information. She took everything at face value without digging deeper in terms of Keegan and Brenton. There were so many times when she should have questioned motives or odd behavior; and Sierra should have told her about Brenton’s previous behavior.
As for Keegan, he could have shared more of himself or been more honest.
Sierra and Zane were my favorite characters, I absolutely loved the epilogue.
4.5 Stars!
I freakin’ ‘d this book! It was sooo much more than I expected ~ from the Main characters, to the secondary, how could I not LOVE Keegan, be drawn in by Zane!!?! The emotional story, laced with little twists that make you want to keep turning the pages. The family loyalty and bonds that cannot be broken, the love and support they provide. It was fun, heartwarming and easy to read! I enjoy when you read a story and you can feel what the characters are going through and I definitely felt that through Blakely’s words. The end was perfect
It seems that secret baby or surprise pregnancy is what Nikki Ash does best. They never disappoint. Blakley and Keegan’s story was everything I was expecting a NA book to be. Messed up situation, faulty condom, and so soon worthy.
Blakley is just another strong female to add to the long list of amazingly strong female characters that Nikki has graced us with. Her heroines are all something fierce, even though there are moments they dont feel it.
Keegan. Oh my word, Keegan! How is it possible for these heros to get better and better? I fell in love with him from the first football thrown. Be still my heart!
Their story was not ideal, not easy, but it was worth it. Their story took some crazy turns, they had a bunch of time lost, a ton of lies told, and a few broken hearts, but fate will always find a way. Even when you least expect it.
This second chance book kept me on my toes! Blakely meets a guy on a beach named Keegan years later she runs back into this guy but is this the same guy she met on the beach?
4.5 stars
Nikki Ash had me completely captivated and swooning over this adorable, yet sexy and suspenseful story! Filled with heartfelt emotion, swoony romance, moments so sweet that I about died (!) of happiness and twists and turns that stunned me. Keegan and Blakely have a story that is utterly captivating!
I was blown away at this amazing tale of second chances with unique twists that left my head spinning. The connection between Blakely and Keegan was instant and the twists and turns that separate these two was heartbreaking but also can so see that happen. I think that is one thing that really drew me into this story. I loved every moment reading this story.
Fool Me Once was yet another fantastic read by Nikki Ash. Relationships, second chances at love and unexpected plot twists are just a few of the things you’ll find between the pages of this wonderful story. I couldn’t put it down and I definitely recommend reading it.
First things first: The synopsis of the book does a really great job of letting you know this might be a second chance type romance, but nothing else. And there is a lot of else. I hate reading so many reviews that gave away important plot points to this story. Plot points that were a big surprise for me and allowed me to be able to tell you that there is way more to this story than you may think, and it is fantastic! Go in blind if you can, you will love it!
So yes, Keegan and Blakely’s journey is definitely a second chance to get it right filled with a lot of emotion and turmoil but also fun and heart and hope and growth! A well written story with enough twists/surprises to keep me glued from beginning to end.
Sidenote: Excellent title and cover for this story. Both represented that story very well! Well done!
This was such a great story!!! If you like single parent/ secret baby/ second chance, you’ll love this one! Also had a great plot twist I didn’t see coming!
In true Nikki Ash fashion, I enjoyed every single minute of this book!
Fool me once s a stand alone by Nikki Ash. This is Blakely and Keegan’s story and probably my new favorite Nikki Ash book so far. I don’t want to give any of the story away so I will just say this book had all of my favorite themes in it and I could not put it down!! I absolutely loved this book!! It had everything, you will not be disappointed if you read this!
Nobody does secret baby romance better than Nikki Ash!
Blakely & Keegan captivated me with their story. I loved every twist & turn of their journey. I enjoyed that there was some happy moments, serious moments, and moments I wasn’t prepared for while reading.
I loved Sierra & Kolton too. I hope that we will get to hear their whole story someday.

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.
Keegan and Blakely have a story that is utterly captivating! Blakely especially stole my heart in this one. She’s been through so much and just keeps dusting herself off and getting back up. Fiercely strong but so caring when it comes to those she loves I truly felt for her in all she went through. It was so easy to adore her and when you add Keegan into the mix with his sweet strength I was addicted to these two. Their story is one you won’t be able to put down!
