A Fool For You, Foolproof Love series, Katee Robert

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Katee Robert and you can be sure it won’t be the last.  I think she’s a ton of fun as an author and I always get a little tingle of excitement when I see her name on a book.

Foolproof Love #3

by Katee Robert

Releasing October 3, 2016

Entangled: Brazen

Blurb:

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.

*****

Excerpt:

Hope shook her head. “You’re as much an idiot now as you were then.”

And then she kissed him.

It caught him a little off guard—he hadn’t expected her to be the one to make the first move, especially after the way the scene in the bathroom had gone down—but Daniel wasted no time taking control. He kissed down her neck, sliding his hands beneath her shirt and skating them up to her body to cup her breasts. They filled his palms, familiar and yet not, all at the same time. He cursed. “Gorgeous Darling, the things you do to me.” He nipped her collarbone. “I’m going to taste you, so if you’re going to change your mind, now’s the time to do it.”

Her only response was to shove her yoga pants down to her knees.

He lifted her onto the counter and disentangled her right leg from the pants so he could spread her fully. He stroked her thighs, pausing when his fingers met the scar. It brought up so many conflicting feelings in him. It was his fault that she had the damn thing, but that didn’t mean he thought of her as less, the way she seemed to think. She was as beautiful now as she’d been at eighteen, and more confident despite her injury. Or maybe because of it. He had no idea.

All he knew was that at some point he was going to have to get up close and personal with her healed injury, and he was going to have to tread very, very carefully to avoid burning what was left of the bridge between him and Hope.

“If you apologize, I might actually kick you.”

That snapped him out of it. As much as he wanted Hope, he had an ulterior motive for pushing her now. All getting distracted by her leg was going to do was fuck up his chance of convincing her to stay, in his house and in his bed. He jerked her to the edge of the counter, spreading her thighs wider. “Don’t scream. You’ll upset Ollie.”

And then he did what he’d been fantasizing about ever since he walked out of her life. Daniel dipped his head and gave her center one long lick. She tasted better than he remembered, her body already shaking for him, so he used his thumbs to part her folds and licked her again, reacquainting himself with every inch of her.

“Oh.”

He looked up her body to find her head thrown back and her chest rising and falling with each harsh breath. “Take off your shirt.”

Hope wasted no time obeying, dragging the material over her head and tossing it away. And then there was nothing hiding her body from his gaze. He licked her again, savoring the way she shook. A tattoo curling around the bottom of her ribs caught his eye, but he was too distracted to read it.

He was tired of teasing her. He wanted to feel her orgasm again, to know she was coming apart at the seams because of him. Daniel sucked her clit into his mouth, stroking the sensitive little nub with the flat of his tongue the way she’d always loved. Sure enough, before he had a chance to truly savor her, Hope cried out his name and shuddered, her thighs squeezing his head as she came. He gentled his touches, licks turning to kisses, turning to the slightest brushing of his lips against her. Only when she stopped shaking did he raise his head. “Stay, at least until we figure out what we’re doing.”

Falling for His Best Friend, Katee Robert, Out of Uniform series

Out today, the always awesome Katee Robert has a new book and you guys are in for a treat!  And to celebrate, Katee was nice enough to answer a few questions for us.

If you haven’t already make sure you check out all the delights on Katee’s book list, including His to Keep,

*****

*What do you like the most (or least) about writing romances?

I love the push and pull between the two main characters as they fight for and against falling in love. It’s such a unique journey for each couple, and I never get tired of exploring their attraction and finding out new things!

*What is your favorite romantic story (movie/book, fact/fiction)?

I don’t know if I can pick just one! Anne Bishop’s Black Jewels trilogy is a favorite. The relationship that starts and develops between Damon and Janelle is so great because they have to basically walk through hell and back in order to be together and fight through some seriously insane odds, and their love for each other never wavers.

*If you could be any romantic character, who would it be and why?

I’d want to be one of Kresley Cole’s characters! I love the heroines she write (and the heroes too, for obvious reasons). I think I’d either pick Mari or Chloe. Those were two of my favorites of hers!

*Which of your characters/books was the most fun to write? 

Oh man! That’s a good question. Each book has it’s unique pleasures and challenges. I LOVED writing Drew and Avery’s book (Falling for His Best Friend) because their dynamic is so off-the-wall and great. On the flip side, I was in sheer bliss while writing The Marriage Contract because it was new-to-me in a lot of ways—my catnip!

*If you weren’t a writer and could be anything you want, what would it be?

Once upon a time I thought I wanted to be an FBI profiler (how the hell I got from that to romance writer is beyond me), but I think in reality I’d do better as like a used book store owner or a librarian. Something to do with books for sure, though!

*****

cover64259-medium (2)Falling for His Best Friend

An Out of Uniform Novel

by Katee Robert

Blurb:

Avery Yeung’s biological clock just went off early. Thanks to her family’s medical history, she’s running out of time to get knocked up. And the only guy within donating distance? Her overprotective—and irritatingly hot—best friend. So clearly she needs an anonymous donor…

Anonymous donor? Over Sheriff Drew Flannery’s dead body. While daddyhood will never be in the cards for a man with his past, Drew won’t let Avery shop for a “popsicle pop.” He’ll do what’s right for his best friend by doing his best friend. But only if they do it properly.

But there’s nothing “proper” about it. Between the bed, the kitchen counter, and against his squad car, Avery and Drew are having the hottest sex ever. They can’t get enough of it—or each other. And without knowing it, they’ve crossed the one line that could ruin their friendship forever…

Available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble

Katee Robert, Protecting Fate, Serve series

When Sara Reaver finds herself in dangerous trouble, Mercenary Z Loreto, the one man she cannot resist, is tasked with protecting her in PROTECTING FATE.   Fans of Tessa Bailey’s Driven by Fate or Maya Banks’ Sweet Seduction will enjoy the sexy and suspenseful addition to the Serve series by NYT Bestselling Author Katee Robert.

*****

PF_500Protecting Fate

by Katie Robert

He’ll keep her safe…but who will protect her from him?

Fixer Sara Reaver is in serious trouble. She’s stepped on the wrong toes, and now her uncle is sending her out of the city in an effort to keep her safe—and he’s assigning her a glorified babysitter. The last person she expects to show up is the gorgeous Z, or for him to tempt her and then reject her in the space of a single night. Twice. Now she’s out to prove to him just how good they’d fit up together in every way imaginable.

Mercenary Z Loreto hates protection jobs, but he’s willing to make an exception for his best friend’s little sister. The only problem is she calls up things he’s been doing his damnedest to keep under wraps for the last seven years. But when she pushes him too far, it all comes rushing to the fore, and the fact she’s willing to submit to his every desire only makes the loss of control sweeter.

Sara and Z have a boatload of issues between them, but they’re sure they can make things work if they take it one day at a time… Right up until things spiral beyond their control. Now Z’s playing for keeps in a big way, and Sara’s got to decide if a chance at true happiness is worth the risk of repeating history.

See where it all began with Tessa Bailey’s Owned by Fate and Katee’s most recent installment, Betting on Fate.

Katee Robert, Mistaken By Fate, Serve series

Wow, do I have a steamy read for you today!  Sit back, relax and take a look at Kate Robert’s newest book.

*****

Katee Robert joins the Serve series with her hot new romance, MISTAKEN BY FATE!

When Ridley Ethridge arranges a night in NYC’s premier BDSM club, she doesn’t expect to see the wrong twin when the blindfold comes off but seducing Garrett Reaver might be the best thing that ever happened to her.

****

KRobert-S01.Mistaken by Fate.300pxMistaken By Fate

Blurb:

The man she should want, or the man she craves…

Fashion designer Ridley Ethridge thinks she’s found the perfect, stable sort of guy in her childhood friend Will Reaver. With seduction in her sights, she arranges to rock Will’s world at an exclusive club that caters to those with adventurous and erotic appetites. What happens next is both intense and satisfying—until Ridley’s blindfold comes off to reveal Will’s twin brother. The same twin who broke her heart eight years ago.

Former soldier Garrett Reaver hasn’t ever gotten Ridley out of his system. And now that she’s before him in all her submissive glory? He’ll be damned before he lets someone else have her, especially his brother. Because Garrett and Ridley have some seriously unfinished business to take care of, and it starts now. And this time, he’ll show Ridley how exquisite a relationship with him could be…if their past doesn’t catch up to them first.

See where it all began with Tessa Bailey’s Owned by Fate and Exposed by Fate.

*****

Excerpt:

She started to move her hand, but Garrett’s was suddenly covering her, effortlessly holding her in place. “Finish what you started.”

It was on the tip of her tongue to protest, but the feel of his hard length in her hand was impossible to ignore. She wanted him feeling crazy and needy—the same way she was right now. So she unbuttoned his jeans and carefully drew the zipper down. He was big, easily filling her hand and then some. Holy crap.

The lights went down, leaving the entire room in shadows and lighting up the stage as a blonde stepped out. Everyone in the room’s attention was on her, which gave Ridley the freedom to touch Garrett without fear of anyone seeing.

He wrapped an arm around her, keeping her close to his body, and leaned down. “Stroke me, baby. I’ve been thinking about you doing it since last night.”

She squeezed him, delight coursing through her when his eyes slit shut. Part of her wanted to crow, Who’s in charge now? But the rest of her was more concerned with exploring the one part of him she’d spent considerable time imagining. It was better than she could have dreamed—everything about him was. It wasn’t fair.

As the woman on the stage shimmied out of her dress, Ridley stroked him faster. It wasn’t enough, though. She glanced around. This booth was far enough back to be in shadows even when the lights were up. Now, they were practically invisible to the rest of the bar, which meant she could do what she desperately wanted to do.

Before she could think twice about it, she slithered down, stretching out around the corner of the booth. Garrett might have cursed, but it was hard to hear over the insistent beat of the music. She licked her lips. Yes, this was perfect. Here, in this moment, she was fully in control, and there wasn’t a damn thing he could do about it. She took him into her mouth, licking her way around his head and then sliding down. He filled her until it was almost too much, but she kept going. She wanted all of him. One of his hands laced through her hair, his grip tight enough to hurt. But he didn’t try to guide her or do anything other than effectively remind her that he was allowing this.

That he was in control.

Katee Robert, Match Me series, Meeting His Match

Ya’ll, based on just the blurb, this one looks like it could be a TON of fun!  But I know it will rock if it is anything like His to Keep.

*****

MHM_1600Meeting His Match

by Katee Robert

Blurb:

A satisfying category romance from Entangled’s brand new Lovestruck imprint…

When New York matchmaker Addison St. Claire is tasked with matching her best friend’s new brother-in-law, she almost refuses. But the sexy southern CEO turns out to be a challenge she can’t resist, because if anyone needs to meet his soul mate, it’s this man. And if matching him with someone else removes the temptation of being near him? Even better.

The last thing Caine McNeill needs is a matchmaker—especially a gorgeous redhead who spouts nonsense about soul mates, critiques what he drives and how he dresses, buys him a dog, and pesters him about a million little things he couldn’t care less about. It’s a crying shame he has to keep his hands off because chemistry like what’s flaring between them ought to be explored. Thoroughly.

And so the battle begins. Addison is determined to stick to her plan of setting him up on dates with other women, and Caine is equally determined to ignore these women and seduce her.

Guest Post – His to Keep

Book Review, His to Keep, Katee Robert, Out of Uniform series

Katee Robert’s now shares with us one of her favorite (and mine!) romance novel locales – small towns.  We also get a look at her new book, His to Keep, which is set in a small town (of course) and meet her sexy hero, Aaron … I had the chance to read this book early so I can definitely vouch for his sexiness, make sure you check out my review below too!

*****

The great thing about romance is that it can take place at a variety of locales. You want to read about love on the seven seas? How two people find each other in medieval England? Or even in the future, with the stars as a backdrop? There are romances that encompass all that and more.

But for me, my favorite romance novels take place in small towns. The capacity for shenanigans that all-time high when you’re talking about a small group of people who are in each other’s businesses, and have probably seen the hero and heroine grow from small children to be the adults they are now. You get a certain element of history that you can’t find anywhere else.

When everyone knows everyone, it makes the path to fall in love all that much more interesting.

Maybe this hero and heroines were childhood playmates who grew up in each other’s backyards. Or maybe the heroine is new in town, and this hero has been there all along. Or, like in HIS TO KEEP, maybe the hero has had his eye on heroine for years and was waiting to make a move until now.

Whatever the setup, when you bring in the flavor of small-town life, things are bound to get interesting.

That’s the main reason why I chose to set my Out of Uniform series in the fictional small town of Wellingford. Whether the characters are new, or have been in town entire lives, they’ll frequent the same establishments, run into the same meddling old folks, and find the love they never knew they wanted.

In HIS TO KEEP, Marceline and Aaron have known each other for years, but life has always been in the way of their being together. She wanted him ever since she was 17 years old, and he’s wanted her just as long. The problem was always the timing or the current circumstances. But now they finally have a chance, and the town supports this by the plan wholeheartedly.

What about you? What is your favorite kind of setting when you’re reading romance?

His to Keep

by Katee Robert

Blurb:

He’s always wanted her. Now’s his chance to claim what’s his.

School teacher Marceline Bellini gave up everything—men, sex, anything resembling a social life—to raise her young daughter. To be the perfect parent. But when she attends an engagement party in her standard stick-in-the-mud mode, her friends begin plying Marceline with shots. Just enough to convince her that a little fun doesn’t sound like a bad idea… and having some naughty fun is an even better one.

Like finding herself deliciously pressed against a dark alley wall by the very familiar and über-hot bod of her best friend’s older brother.

After years of waiting in painful silence, cop Aaron Robinson finally has Marceline’s attention. And man, does he have it. But nothing could have prepared either of them for the rush of fiery lust between them. So he’ll just have to convince Marceline he’s for real. And that a rainy, lust-fuelled romp is the first step to a lifetime of completely imperfect happiness…

Author Info:

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.

Review:

Once again I was pleased by a novella that managed to give readers a complete story in under a hundred pages.   I didn’t feel like I was missing anything and, even though it is part of a series, I didn’t feel like I was lost at any point (which is always nice).  I always appreciate a story that has realistic characters, with believable story lines, and that doesn’t fill up a lot of pages with too much angst.  Here we get a compact, but well-developed, story with characters that have their issues, work it out and find a way to be happy together.

Marcy is a little burned by her ex and the responsibilities she feels that being a mom carries.   Aaron has that little sister’s friend thing going on but once he lets that go, he is all The Sexy you could want.  I love that he actually put thought and care into his courtship.  And it is obvious from the beginning that he has feelings for her (that, of course, he’s been fighting like any good hero does).  Even with the smaller number of pages, Robert does a fantastic job of creating fleshed out characters with believable wants, needs and motivations.

His To Keep is a fun little read but since it’s a Brazen book it does get steamy so be prepared.  Marcy and Aaron’s path to a HEA is both sweet and hot and will make you smile and sigh and laugh … and turn up your A/C.

 IBwMW300New York Times bestselling author Katee Robert kicks off her new Out of Uniform series with IN BED WITH MR. WRONG, a hilarious enemies-to-lovers story you don’t want to miss. Air Force Pararescuer Ryan Flannery avoids his hometown at all costs, so he’s not thrilled when he’s set up on a blind date—until he meets mousy librarian Brianne Nave. Her sweet curves and kissable lips are a siren’s call, but her smart mouth? Not so much. How can two people have so little chemistry outside the bedroom when they fit together so perfectly in it? When Ryan and Bri are stranded in a cabin by their friends, they’ll be forced to find out…if they don’t kill each other first.

FI_300Gina L. Maxwell comes out swinging with the latest installment of her New York Times bestselling Fighting for Love series, FIGHTING FOR IRISH. When he learns a friend’s sister has forty-eight hours to make good on an ex’s debt to a crime boss, former MMA fighter Aiden “Irish” O’Brien heads to Louisiana to offer himself up as collateral. But to satisfy the debt, he has to do the one thing he swore he’d never do again: fight. With more than just money on the line, can Irish reclaim the man he once was for the woman he can’t live without?

The dynamic duo took the NYT and USA TODAY lists by storm the last time they released together, so we can’t wait to see what shenanigans they have in store for 2014!

Excerpt: In Bed with Mr. Wrong by Katee Robert

“Don’t think for a second you’re getting a good-night kiss.”

“A kiss from you?” He stepped forward into her finger, forcing her to open her hand against his chest or take a step back. She refused to budge. He leaned down, crowding her. “I’d rather kiss a snake.”

“Then it’s too bad it’s winter, because they’re in short supply.” She pushed at his chest again, nearly snarling when he didn’t move. “You should just burn something else down. That might draw a few to the heat.”

“Or maybe I’ll just set fire to your goddamn granny panties. That’s sure to create a big enough blaze.”

Her jaw dropped open and she swallowed hard. “As if you could.”

“Watch me.”

He grabbed her hips and yanked her against him. Bri gasped. There was so much heat in his blue eyes, it was a wonder every single article of clothing she wore didn’t go up in smoke. “You—”

But then she saw it. The challenge hidden behind the heat. He didn’t think she could handle this. Handle him.

His mouth curled into a smirk, and his hands tightened on her hips. The feel of his fingers digging into her flesh through the thin fabric of her skirt made her want to throw all caution to the wind. He thought he’d won, did he?

“Screw it.” She grabbed the lapels of his shirt and went up on her tiptoes to smash her lips against his. He froze, then stumbled backward and slammed into the wall of her screened porch, taking her with him. A wave of victory went through her. For all his talk, he hadn’t expected her to make a move. She moved one hand to the back of his neck and tipped his head down so she could set her teeth into his bottom lip.

Just like that, he came alive in her arms and pulled her tighter against him. His tongue delved into her mouth, stroking hers with no hesitation, igniting her passion until she couldn’t fight back a moan. How could one giant brute taste so decadent? She slid her tongue along his, not sure if she was searching for an answer or simply enjoying the way her very nerves seemed to spark and dance at every place they touched.

Would her whole body do that if they were naked?

Whoa. Where had that thought come from? She was proving him wrong, not jumping into bed with the man. She tried to pull away. “I think—”

“Stop talking.”

Excerpt: Fighting For Irish by Gina Maxwell

Aiden dropped his hands to her hips and stepped closer. “Will you stay tonight?” he asked softly.

“I’ll stay.”

One night. He could do that, couldn’t he? Then he could get this need for her out of his system and focus on winning the tournament to free her from any danger. His job would be done, his debt paid to Jax, and he could move back home to continue his daily penance and meaningless existence.

But right now he wanted to feel alive again, if only for a night in the arms of the woman who’d had his balls on lockdown for months. She was the reason no one else even appealed to him anymore. He needed her, just this once. But he wouldn’t do it without an understanding between them.

“Kat, can I be honest with you?” Aiden was aware of the fine line he was walking. Now he just had to do it without sounding crude or disrespectful, which would be a challenge. He was no smooth-talking Romeo.

Meeting her expectant gaze, he took a deep breath and prepared himself for the possibility of getting slapped. “I wanna be with you tonight.”

“As in, with me with me?”

“Yeah,” he said, amusement lifting a corner of his mouth. “With you with you. It’s been a really long time since I wanted someone as much I want you.”

“Really?” she asked breathlessly.

“You sound surprised.”

She offered a weak shrug and suddenly found interest in the floorboards. “You seem like you’d be more into exciting, exotic looking women. Like one of those sexy, new-age pin-up girls with the flawless skin and beautiful tattoos.”

He almost laughed until he realized she was serious. She had no idea what she did to him. Grabbing one of her hands still resting on his shoulder, he slowly dragged it over his chest and down his stomach until they finally reached his stiff erection straining against the restrictive boxer briefs under his shorts.

Aiden groaned as he molded her hand over his cock. The feel of her gripping him nearly redefined the word “premature.” She drew in a quick breath and raised her eyes to his. Her cheeks filling with a pretty shade of pink did crazy things to his insides. The more her innocence showed through the more he wanted her.

He couldn’t make sense of it. She was right. Typically he went for the larger-than-life women who treated every day like it was their own personal thrill ride. Kat was something else entirely. Worldly beyond her years, yet somehow more innocent than she should be.

“This is how into you I am, sweetheart. Believe me when I tell you I couldn’t fake this kind of interest,” he assured her. “I want you, Kat. Wicked bad. But I don’t have anything more to offer you than one night. That’s me being honest. So if you wanna give me the red light now I’ll understand, but you gotta let me know while I still have use of some of my brain.”

“Green.”
