ABOUT THE BOOK: RELEASE DATE October 3, 3016
It’s been thirteen years since Hope Moore left Devil’s Falls, land of sexy cowboys and bad memories. Back for the weekend, she has no intention of seeing the man she never got over…or the two of them getting down and dirty. It’s just a belated goodbye, right? No harm, no foul.
Until six weeks later, when her pregnancy test comes back positive…
Daniel Rodriguez hasn’t forgiven himself for how things went down with Hope all those years ago. He knows she’s better off without him, but when she shows up on his doorstep, panicking because she’s pregnant with his baby, he can’t help seeing it as a chance to make up for the past.
Too bad Hope has no intention of going along with his plans.

REVIEW: A FOOL FOR YOU is the third and final installment in Katee Robert’s contemporary, adult FOOLPROOF LOVE romance series focusing on the people of Devil’s Falls. This is Hope Moore, and Daniel Rodriguez’s story line. A FOOL FOR YOU can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Hope and Daniel) A FOOL FOR YOU is a second chance romance between two people whose lives were destroyed thirteen years earlier and in the ensuing time Daniel Rodriguez walked away from the woman he loved to wallow in self-pity and guilt for an accident that wasn’t his fault. For thirteen years our hero has never forgiven himself for that fateful day but with his guilt comes the knowledge that he let go of the only woman he has ever loved. When Hope returns to Devil’s Falls Daniel is unable to walk away and our couple pick up immediately where they left off years before.
Hope Moore is a strong, independent woman whose life changed thirteen years earlier; a woman who had to make some major sacrifices but in the end became a success at what she chose to do. Daniel is a man whose guilt has affected every aspect of his life to the point he has closed himself off from family and friends-thirteen years is a long time to immerse oneself into the depths of despair and remorse.
The relationship is a second chance; a rekindling of old feelings that have never died; where passion gives way to a one night stand that results in an unplanned pregnancy and a renewed future. But not everyone is happy with the couple’s reunion including Hope’s parents who have some thoughts about the man who has reentered their daughter’s life. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense.
All of the previous story line couples play secondary and supporting roles: Aubry and Quinn (Fool Me Once 2), and Adam and Jules (Foolproof Love 1).
A FOOL FOR YOU is the culmination of three stories where one accident sent three friends (and family) in different directions all to return home to Devil’s Falls where love is the balm to their broken souls. The premise is entertaining; the characters are colorful; the romance is hot and heavy.
I did have a couple of issues: the ending; the quick resolution that was too abrupt and kind of left me hanging-the story line needed an epilogue or at the very least a look into the future. And the characters felt like they were going through the motions; that $ex was the commonality between Hope and Daniel but there wasn’t much else- in my humble opinion.

Excerpt intended for readers 18+
“You mean since I had my knee replaced.” Of course she knew what he meant anyway. Apparently damn near reading his mind was one annoying habit she hadn’t outgrown.
“I didn’t say that.”
“You didn’t have to.” She leveraged herself down next to him, the move not quiet as smooth as it’d been when she was eighteen.
Daniel almost cursed. He had to stop doing that. Comparing her now to how she was then wasn’t fair to either of them. It was another lifetime completely, and thinking about it was just fucking depressing. “Hope—”
“Are you seeing anyone?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
He was so surprised by the question that he answered honestly, “Why the fuck would I bother?”
“Oh, I don’t know, because you don’t want to be a creepy old man who lives in the middle of nowhere and has to run off silly high school kids with his shotgun because they tell ghost stories about him?”
He looked at her, half sure that she was the one who’d lost her damn mind. “That’s not a thing.”
“It is most definitely a thing.” She leaned back on her hands and stared at the sky. The most move arched her back and pressed her breasts against the fancy tank top she wore. It was made of some kind of drapey fabric that looked soft and shiny, and it highlighted the fact that he seriously doubted she was wearing a bra. “You’re too young to just give up.”
“It’s not about giving up.” Though he didn’t expect Hope to understand that. He’d checked up on her a few times since the accident, and every single time he was amazed at the things she’d accomplished. Life had kicked her in the teeth and she’d come back swinging. She’d taken two years off and then attended the University of Texas and graduated with honors. She ran her own successful consulting business to work with companies that wanted to set up scholarships and nonprofits.
She shifted to look at him. “It looks like giving up from where I’m sitting.”
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Katee Robert, learned to tell stories at her grandpa’s knee. Her favorites then were the rather epic adventures of The Three Bears, but at age twelve she discovered romance novels and never looked back.
Though she dabbled in writing, life got in the way—as it often does—and she spent a few years traveling, living in both Philadelphia and Germany. In between traveling and raising her two wee ones, she had the crazy idea that she’d like to write a book and try to get published.
Her first novel was an epic fantasy that, God willing, will never see the light of day. From there, she dabbled in YA and horror, before finally finding speculative romance. Because, really, who wouldn’t want to write entire books about the smoking-hot relationships between two people?
She now spends her time—when not lost in Far Reach worlds—playing imaginary games with her wee ones, writing, ogling men, and planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
