‘Some husbands bought their wives flowers, others bought jewellery. Mine? He returned the things he stole.’
I should have known better. Hot guys didn’t hit on big girls without an agenda. They didn’t approach them in bars and talk their way into your bed. They also didn’t make you feel beautiful and proud of your curves. But I was going through a dry spell—actually, I’d kind of been going through a dry spell all my life—and dry spells sucked. Of course I slept with him.
I was such a fool.
I believed his lines. Fell for his easy smile; the man swept me off my feet, rocked my world, then robbed me blind.
I really needed a three date rule.
Angry and embarrassed, I engaged the help of my best friend to track the thief down and make him return what he took. But when I found him, he wasn’t alone….
What does a girl do when she finds not one thief, but an entire family?
She marries into it, of course.
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Fool Me Twice is definitely not your conventional love story! It’s even unlike anything I’ve previously read by Anderson, which says a lot for her writing style.
The concept of this story is a great one: Holland is drugged and robbed blind by handome Nate, who she takes home from a bar. She tracks him down, he apologizes and robs her again. When she tracks him down again, Holland and her pal Alesha meet Nate’s crazy family of thieves, and are forced to either marry into the clan, or be killed. It’s completely out-there, but it just worked! Nate is so loyal to Holland, and despite his illegal doings, he really goes above and beyond to protect what’s his. Namely, his wife.
The road gets a little rocky as tensions run high within the family and between Holland and her best friend, who kind of morphs into a younger version of matriarch Jasmine. But the story is intriguing and I couldn’t wait to see what happens next for this couple. This was a great start to a new series and I’m looking forward to Nate’s brothers getting their own books. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
