Fool Me Forever by Ainslie Paton
4.0
I adore Halsey this is what I learnt reading this book. He is awkward and doesn't like interacting with people and he knows who he is and he doesn't like pretending to be anything other than that. Makes it difficult to pull off a big con though. But I loved he was softer and not a slick alpha male. I liked that he needed the help of Lenny to smooth his edges and help him out when it comes to big cons. It was just perfect.
And Lenny! She had a whole heap of stuff on her plate and she shouldn't have wanted anything to do with Halsey Sherwood after everything with her father but she wanted to get one over the asshole president who thought he could take charity money and use it for his own gain. Who thought the world revolves around him and forgot he was meant to be looking out for a country of people. She was ok with helping clean him out and screw him over and if she had to work with someone she knew was bad for her then so be it.
I admit I wasn't sure how the romance was going to play out in this one as Lenny was so against the Sherwoods and con men and she had major trust issues but the sparks which flew showed me there would problem with the romance it was more figuring out a way they could be together which benefited both of them I didn't understand until right at the end.
I've been living these conning Sherwood's and their less than legal ways which have them stealing from the rich and distributing to good charitable causes. I think with all the awful people you keep seeing on the news it's nice to see folks get their comeuppance in this book.
