Something’s gotta give…but Codie Snow doesn’t know if it needs to be her non-committal workaholic ex-boyfriend attorney Slade Sheppard or her unsatisfying job as a nursing assistant. Because even though the chemistry with Slade is off-the-charts hot and the job is a necessary evil, she doesn’t know that she wants either.
Enter Pete Olsen, bad ass cop in charge of serving and protecting the town of Dalton, Colorado. Codie goes on a ride-along with Pete and sees the seedy underbelly of her town, witnessing the gamut–from an amusing domestic dispute to a frightening meth lab explosion–and she decides that law enforcement is not for her.
But Pete just might be.
When Codie learns that a supposed suicide Pete investigated on the ride-along is actually a murder, she poses as a religious fanatic in order to gain access to the controlling cult where the dead woman was discovered, hoping to find the truth. But has she instead set herself up to be murdered–and will she uncover the killer before she becomes the next victim?
I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
Fool Me Once is a quick read but man is it a great build up and packed full of suspense. I am loving these characters ok some more than others but still love them in a way.
Codi is trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life. She is a nurse but wants something different. She decides to go on a ride along with Pete a police officer but realizes really quickly she does not follow the orders or like the idea of sitting in the car so she puts herself in dangerous situations when on these ride-a-longs. She has an ex Slade that she decides she no longer wants either but Pete could be another story.
I was flipping the pages to find out what was going to happen with Codi between the situations she was getting into with her ride-a-longs and “investigations”, what was going on between her and Pete, between her and Slade, and then there were the interactions with her BFF and roomie Matthew. There was so much going on in this book. This book also sets up the next one and yes it is a cliffy. WOW I cannot wait for the next book I need to know what is going to happen and will it be Pete or Slade.
Jade C. Jamison was born and raised in Colorado and has decided she likes it enough to stay forever. Jade’s day job is teaching Creative Writing, but teaching doesn’t stop her from doing a little writing herself.
Unfortunately, there’s no one genre that quite fits her writing. Her work has been labeled romance, erotica, suspense, and women’s fiction, and the latter is probably the safest and closest description. But you’ll see that her writing doesn’t quite fit any of those genres.
You’ll have to discover Jade’s writing for yourself to decide if you like it.
Thank you! <3
