A review by margindoodles
Fool Me Twice by Meredith Duran

3.0

Waited a couple of days to review and I still feel like… it was fine. Key parts simply rubbed me the wrong way, particularly the hero using the threat of sexual violence to intimidate the heroine while he’s angry and the heroine yelling at him to Just Snap Out of his depression. By the time the author went, “Don’t worry! She’s never actually scared!” or “He needs to be yelled at this way!” I was already on edge and not enjoying myself.

I do like parts of this book — Beauty and the Beast raised me, after all — and the ending was satisfying, given how terribly Olivia’s treated prior to the start of the book and during the climax of the story. The steamy stuff: greatly enjoyable. My reading experience was just too uneven overall for me to give it a much higher rating or more consideration than this.
