They say opposites attract, but this is just ridiculous.

Aubry Kaiser doesn’t like people—actually, that’s not right. She loathes people. With her crippling anxiety, there’s no way she can demo her favorite video game at a convention with five thousand other people. Maybe if she brings someone to act as a shield…

But the only person available is the sexy cowboy she can’t stand.

Quinn Baldwyn is in a mess of his own. He’s been dodging his wealthy family’s matchmaking attempts—and life advice—for years, but with his sister’s wedding on the horizon, he needs of a shield of his own.

He and Aubry can barely hold down a civil conversation, but in bed…fireworks. And the closer they get to Quinn’s sister’s wedding, the more he realizes that he might actually like Aubry.

Now it’s up to him to convince her she might actually like him, too.

She pinched the bridge of her nose. “If I say you’re right, am I ever going to live it down?”

He didn’t answer, and she opened her eyes. Their reflection was slightly distorted in the passenger window, but even she could see he had a seriously tense look on his face. She belatedly realized that they were pressed together, her back to his front, and that he was…

Oh my God. She couldn’t resist leaning back into him, just a little. Yep, that’s not a micro penis. A shiver worked its way through her, leaving goose bumps in its wake, and her nipples perked right up, showing through the thin fabric of her T-shirt. There was no way he didn’t feel her reaction, not with his arm creating a band across her ribs, his forearm against the underside of her breasts.

Even as she noticed, he started to release her, his hand sliding over her stomach, but he stopped when he hit her hip, his pinkie finger dipping below the waistband of her shorts, just a little. It wasn’t anywhere near anything vital, but that little intrusion made her moan all the same.

“Fuck.” The word was barely audible, but she felt it in the way his body tensed behind her.

She shivered again, torn between telling him to back off and getting the top button of her jeans all undone for him. If she didn’t make a decision—and fast—he was going to back off again. It was written all over the tension she could feel emanating from his body.

Aubry started to reach for his hand, still undecided on whether she wanted to encourage or threaten him, but he moved, bending down to brace one hand on the truck in front of them, the other still on her hip. The move brought his mouth against her ear, and his harsh exhale made her shake.

She arched against him. She couldn’t help it. Her body took over, a primal part of her knowing he could give her all the pleasure she could handle, and was only too happy to extend an invitation by rubbing her ass against his hard length.

His grip on her hip tightened, but he didn’t try to stop her. “You’re playing a dangerous game.”

She knew. They had to stop for so many reasons, the least of which was that they were on the side of a freaking highway and it was only a matter of time before a car drove past.

But she didn’t want to stop.

Thank you, Entangled!

After reading yet another great book about these Devil’s Falls' cowboys falling in love, I have to say this has become one of my favorite romance series published Entangled. It's sooo good. Soooo sexy. Sooo everything I need and look for in romance books.

Katee Robert is a talented romance writer, you guys. The hot scenes she writes? Damn. So freaking hot that I always need to take a moment after I read them. Have you guys read the excerpt above? Yep. That's the kind of crazy chemistry I'm talking about.

So I've been waiting for Aubrey's book since pretty much the first moment she appeared in Foolproof Love, the first book in the series. She's just one of those characters that speak to me, you know? She's weird and great and funny without trying to be.

She was a great character in book 1 and now that she had the spotlight in book 2, she was even better.

Aubrey and Quinn's hate-to-love thing also started in book 1, because from the moment they met they had amazing chemistry and you couldn't help but want to see where that story was going. So while this reads like a stand alone, I seriously advise you to read the first book too. It's such a good book you won't regret it.

So when Fool Me Once starts, Aubrey and Quinn are still getting under each other's skin and teasing each other, while trying to deny there's mad attraction there. An attraction that will be a little harder to ignore now that they kind of need each other's help.

Aubrey is addicted to video game and one of the best players at a certain game, so she gets invitated to play at a convention, but she's too afraid to go on her own since she hates crowded spaces and people in general. Quinn has to attend his sister's wedding and face his family, who keeps trying to get him together with one of those rich girls he can't stand. He wants nothing to do with his family's business and fortune and the people surrounding them. But he does love his sister, so he can't just not go to the wedding.

Quinn and Aubrey reluctantly agree to go with each other to these two events, which leads to a road trip, many nights together in hotel rooms and a lot of sexy times. They try really, really hard to ignore the crazy chemistry between them -- and that's really fun to watch. You know what else is great to watch? When they finally give in. Prepare yourself for some pretty crazy and fun and sexy times.

I love a good hate-to-love story and with both Quinn and Aubrey being interesting, well-developed characters this way more than a fun read. Since I already knew these two characters from the first book in the series, it was even easier to fall in love with them.

I also enjoyed how the author had them both work on their issues and, when trouble hit, work on finding a solution so they could end up together. The way Quinn took care of Aubrey was beautiful, but so was the way she stood by his side when he needed her.

These two were perfect for each other and I enjoyed watching as their story and love progressed.

Now, my body is ready for the third book in the series. Bring me Daniel and Hope and the heartbreak and sexy times.
