Blurb
When Presley Dawson falls in love with a married man, he
knows it’s wrong but can’t help himself. For the first time he’s wanted and
desired and not so lonely. When his lover returns to his husband, Presley
doesn’t worry. He always comes back—until he doesn’t.
Years later, Presley is stuck in neutral and lonelier than
ever. He can’t forget his past and doesn’t know how to reach for his future.
When his best friend suggests a support group to work through his grief,
Presley agrees but without much hope; nothing has helped before. At the first
meeting, he’s instantly attracted to Nate and struggles not to fall so far, so
fast. He won’t be fooled again.
Nate Sherman is only attending a support group to get his
family off his back. True, he hasn’t slept through the night in over three
years, but he has reasons. Discovering your father—the man you love and
idolize—is a liar and a cheater will do that. And dying in his girlfriend’s
bed? No wonder Nate has trust issues.
Meeting Presley changes everything. Nate sees Presley’s
sweet nature and good heart and when he sets boundaries for their relationship,
Nate surprises himself by willingly going along. With Presley by his side, Nate
is able to sleep again and find the trust that he’s lost in himself and other
people. He can even fall in love.
But Presley is keeping a secret and if he tells Nate, it
could be the end of everything between them. He knows it’s wrong to start
another relationship based on a lie. But it isn’t a lie if you don’t say
anything.
Is it?
Review
Those familiar with Ms. Stevens work will notice a familiar
name in the blurb for Fool For Love: Presley
Dawson. We met Presley in Running From My
Heart where he was a less than likeable character. The idea of seeing his
redemption had me eager to read Fool For
Love.
A big theme in this book was dealing with grief and how that
looks for different people. Nate and Presley have both lost people they cared about;
people who turned out not to be so great really, complicating their feelings. The
gut-punching realness of loss wasn’t glossed over and I really liked that.
These characters are raw and imperfect and wonderfully relatable.
I loved the growth you see in both characters throughout the
story, not just Presley making up for his past mistakes. Nate gets to learn how
to not be so self-righteous too. Because both of them have flaws, you get to
enjoy watching both of them becoming better men and giving each other what they
need.
There is some Kindle-meltingly good sex between these two as
well!
I can’t wait for more in this series! I highly recommend Fool For Love.

Author Bio
I have always been a romantic at heart. I believe that while life is tough, there is always a happy ending around the corner, my characters have to work for it, however. Like life in NYC, nothing comes easy and that includes love.
I live in New York City with my husband and two children and hopefully soon a cat of my own. My day begins with a lot of caffeine and ends with a glass or two of red wine. I practice law but daydream of a time when I can sit by a beach somewhere and write beautiful stories of men falling in love. Although there is bound to be a few bumps along the way, a Happily Ever After is always guaranteed.
