Bull rider Adam Meyer put Devil’s Falls in his rearview mirror years ago and hasn’t stopped running since. Now he’s back—temporarily, if he has any say about it.
Restless, he finds himself kissing the sexiest girl in town…and agreeing to be the fake boyfriend in her little revenge scheme.
Restless, he finds himself kissing the sexiest girl in town…and agreeing to be the fake boyfriend in her little revenge scheme.
Jules Rodrigez isn’t interested in the role of town spinster. Being seen with a hell raiser like Adam is the perfect way to scandalize the residents, make her ex jealous, and prove she’s a sexy, desirable woman. And if their plan includes ridiculously hot sex—in public, of course—all the better.
But this thing between them has an expiration date. Putting down roots isn’t in Adam’s blood, and Jules’s roots in Devil’s Falls are bedrock deep. He’ll leave, even if it rips out his heart. But this time, he’s not sure he’ll survive it…

What a sweet, quick read is Foolproof Love.
I have read Ms Robert O'Malley's series and she is quickly becoming one of my "auto read" authors, so the chance to read Foolproof Love was a no brainer.
Jules is happy with her life, has a job she love and loves her home town - except for how everyone treats her like she is going to be the town spinster and cat lady - all at the age of 26.
Adam Meyer got out of dodge as soon as he could and doesn't want to be back in town, but family has brought him back.
When Jules' ex comes back in town and starts sniffing around, wanting Jules back because, hey, he is god's gift (in his own mind), she starts a fake relationship with the legendary bad boy Adam.
Fake it till you make it, right/
I adore adore adored Jules - except for the way she lets other people treat her. I wanted to shake some sense into her, tell her to stop being a doormat.
There is so much sexual attraction between Adam and Jules, it is like everything around them would combust when they are within 50 feet of each other!
And when things heat up - which they do - boy oh boy... I am still fanning myself days after reading!
There are some great secondary characters, and we get a bit of a lead up to the second book in the series in this first book - and I think the next one is going to be very interesting!
This is a fun, sweet, dirty talking, sexy and quirky little romance and a great start to this series.
Please don't make us wait too long for the next book!

EXCERPT
“That’s really sweet, Grant. It was great seeing you, but my boyfriend is
waiting for me.”
He
frowned. “Boyfriend?”
“Oh, yeah, it’s a new thing. We haven’t exactly gone public with it—you know how Devil’s Falls can be—so you wouldn’t have heard.” She gave him a pat on his arm. “It was nice seeing you. So great. Really, we’ll have to catch up
sometime soon.” And then she stepped around him,
dragging Aubry behind her.
“What are you doing?” Aubry whispered.
“Winging it.” She stopped by the trio of men, all too aware of Grant watching her.
“Hi, Daniel. Quinn. Adam.”
They
raised their beers.
Daniel
looked over her shoulder with a frown. “Is that your piece-of- shit ex-boyfriend
I see?”
“The very one.” She disentangled her arm from Aubry’s. “Speaking of, I need a favor.”
“Anything for you, kid.”
She
tried not to roll her eyes at him calling her kid. He was a whole seven years
older than her. Not exactly ancient.
“Actually, it’s not you I need the favor from.” Before she could talk herself out of it, she sidled up to
Adam and
put her arms around his neck. To his credit, he didn’t shove her on her butt in the dirt, merely raising
his eyebrows. Jules kept her voice low so there was no chance of Grant
overhearing. “So as you’ve noticed,
my ex is watching me really closely right now, and I might have told him a tiny
white lie about me dating
someone in order to avoid a devastating dose of humiliation. And since I can’t date Daniel and no one would
ever believe I’d date Quinn—”
The man
in question frowned. “You really know how to hit a man
where it hurts, Jules.”
“—that leaves you.”
Adam’s face remained impassive. “I see.”
There
wasn’t a whole lot to work with in those words, but he also
had let his free hand drift down to settle on her hip,
so she just kept talking. “If you could just play along and
maybe kiss me like you want to do filthy things
to me in the bed of your truck, I’d really appreciate it.”
If
anything, his eyebrows rose higher. “That guy really got under your
skin, didn’t he?”
“You have no idea.” Next to them, Daniel made a sound suspiciously like a growl, but
neither of them looked over.
Adam’s hand pulsed on her hip, the heat of it shocking despite
the warmth of the night. His calluses dragged
over the sensitive skin bared by her T-shirt, and she shivered. Maybe this was
a terrible idea. She didn’t have time to really reconsider, though, because he set down his
beer, cupped the back of her neck, and dealt
her the single most devastating kiss of her life.
No, not
a kiss.
He took
possession of her mouth, his tongue tracing the seam of her lips and then
delving inside. He tasted of beer and
something darker, something that hinted at exactly what she’d asked for—like he wanted to do filthy things
to her in the bed of his truck. She closed her eyes, giving his tongue a
tentative stroke, and had to fight down a
moan at the way the move made her entire body go tight. More.
He
lifted his head, breaking the kiss and slamming her back into the real world.
She blinked up at him, all too aware of
her body pressed against the entirety of his, of how he was hard in all the
places she was soft, of how
goddamn good he smelled. “Wow.”
There
went that eyebrow again. “You think it was believable?”
