I had the pleasure of reading this hilariously sexy story early, and I devoured it cover to cover. Sivec’s Fool Me Once series has the unique ability of being not nearly enough and deliciously satisfying at the same time. While you are left wanting more, such is the case with ANY good book, no rock is left unturned and all bases are covered. Sometimes you need a break from the drama and the dark, and if you’re in the mood for funny, sexy, and mystery, well, this is most certainly the place for you.Finally we have come to the last friend, Lorelei, who in my opinion was the most mysterious of them all. Lorelei was reserved, put together in a neat little package, and left in a display case. In short, she needed the proverbial stick pulled from her rear. What we got to see in the last book and more in depth in this one is that was only the persona she put on for the world. It was how she was raised and expected to act, but underneath was just a woman who yearned for the world to take her seriously as she was. Full of heart and sass, we got to witness the spunky lawyer come out of her shell.  No pretenses, no walls, no sexy lawyer suits. Well…Dallas was just the man for the job.We don’t dive too much into Dallas’ past, but we find out as much as we need to know for this story. Just know that he is all Alpha, protective to a fault, headstrong, and mouth-wateringly lick-able. He charges into a situation with the grace of a bull and takes no prisoners. One of my favorite things to read in a book is a love-hate relationship and the delicious buildup made the inevitable collision that much sweeter. Because what love and hate have in spades is passion, and passion was exactly what these two people needed. It overflowed from them through the pages and straight into your loins.Of the many things, and there are COUNTLESS, that Sivec does well is write real, strong, relatable characters and depict scorching sex scenes. Never over the top, just with the perfect precision of detail. With each book of hers I read, there is never a doubt in my mind why she is at the top of her game and the charts. Though these books are shorter than I wish, because I wasn’t ready to leave the characters, the level of depth she pulls is astounding. These books are the perfect combination of the Golden Girls, Scooby Doo, and Charlie’s Angels. Strong men, stronger women, but most importantly, an unwavering and unbreakable friendship.  A series that I will no doubt be back to read many times again.
