Fool Me Twice

Cartwright Brothers, Book 1

By: Lilliana Anderson

Narrated by: Amy Soakes

"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.

Fool Me Twice, the first in an epic and hilarious crime series from best-selling Australian author Lilliana Anderson.

Has Potential

This is a steamy listen that falls a bit flat for me. The book starts off with a hot hookup but after that it goes downhill for me. I really couldn't get into the rest of the story. Marrying someone who only slept with you to steal from you...don't think so. I guess if you can overlook that then give this book a chance. Otherwise, don't bother. The narration was alright. Amy Soakes did well with the emotions but I thought she had the female voices a bit too high pitched for my liking but I would've been able to adjust to it if the story had been better.

Very Cute Lots of laughs

Fool Me Twice: was so much fun to listen to, I laughed alot. The Cartwright family unigue characters. The story was well performed. I Definetly would recommend this.

Unique Rom-Com

This was a great and hot start to the Cartwright Brothers series! Lilliana does a great job of developing the story and each character. The main thing that I couldn’t understand was Holland. I’m not quite sure how one person lets the same thing happen to them back to back. Later in the book, I do start to like her and her personality better though. Certain parts of this book were a little unbelievable, but overall it was really great. I did enjoy all of the action, steamy scenes, laughable moments, angst, and drama. I can’t wait to see where this journey goes with the rest of the series! Amy created a wonderful performance with her narration. Each character had a distinct voice and she did great accents for them as well. I love when a narrator can bring a book to life for me with their voice.

#romance - a #happyending #humorous #romanticstory

I listened to the audiobook of this story. Initially the woman's voice seemed too bimbo for me. However through out the story I got used to her voice.

I was hooked with the actually story and I enjoyed the plot and unexpected turn of events. The story ends with a happy ending but I suppose it is expected in romances and nothing less would fit.

This story is the first of the Cartwright brothers series and the author introduces us nicely to the family and sets a bit of expectations to each character's personality.

I have to confess that I am interested in listening or reading the next book on the series. 😊

Smiling and Laughing the Whole Time

This is one that has had me thinking about it for days afterwards because it was just so adorable. I was found myself constantly grinning at Holland and Nate's relationship and the circumstances of the situation. Holland is a bigger girl that is socially awkward but is also quirky and at the same time hilarious; she does seem like a little bit of an airhead at some points in the book, but I still really liked her as a character. I liked that even though she got herself and her friend into a bad situation, that they were able to make the best of things. Also, very well written steamy moments throughout! The author did a fabulous job writing this one and I really enjoyed this listen.

The narrator did an excellent job in this performance. She was really able to magnify Holland's mannerisms in such a way that made me love her as a character so much more. She also did a great job differentiating between character voices and easily kept me engaged throughout.
