"A simmering slow burn bursting with banter... This is a romance for anyone who's ever felt too messy to be loved."
—ROSIE DANAN, author of The Roommate
In this fierce and funny battle of the exes, Ashley Winstead's Fool Me Once explores the chaos of wanting something you used to have.
Lee Stone is a twenty-first-century woman: she kicks butt at her job as a communications director at a women-run electric car company (that's better than Tesla, thank you), and after work she is "Stoner," drinking guys under the table and never letting any of them get too comfortable in her bed...
That's because Lee's learned one big lesson: never trust love. Four major heartbreaks set her straight, from her father cheating on her mom all the way to Ben Laderman in grad school—who wasn't actually cheating, but she could have sworn he was, so she reciprocated in kind.
Then Ben shows up five years later, working as a policy expert for the most liberal governor in Texas history, just as Lee is trying to get a clean energy bill rolling. Things get complicated—and competitive—as Lee and Ben are forced to work together. Tension builds just as old sparks reignite, fanning the flames for a romantic dustup the size of Texas.
Don't miss The Boyfriend Candidate, Ashley Winstead's next laugh-out-loud rom-com about learning to embrace living outside your comfort zone!

      Ann Marie Gideon narrates this second-chance, forced-proximity romance set in the world of Texas politics from Winstead (In My Dreams I Hold a Knife). Communications director for a women-led electric car company, Lee "Stoner" Stone, hopes that a bill focusing on making all government vehicles green will pass the Texas Congress. When she is partnered with a new aide in the governor's office, she is stunned to find it is her grad school boyfriend Ben--the only man she truly loved, despite her sabotaging their relationship. The former couple must set aside their past in order to convince key senators to support their bill while fighting the attraction that never went away. Gideon captures Lee's intense, frequently abrasive, and often self-destructive personality with the forceful tone used for the protagonist. Characters' voices are distinctive, though the Texas-born and -raised Lee is missing even a hint of a Texan twang prominent in many others. Gideon aptly performs the myriad of emotions felt by Lee and Ben as their story plays out. VERDICT Listeners who can get past Lee's drama and party-girl ways will enjoy Gideon's performance.--Amanda L. S. Murphy
