Falling for Jillian by Kristen Proby Book Review

Feel good stories with happy endings are the main reason I started enjoying chick lit and romance books a lifetime ago. I read a lot and I mean a lot – on average between 3 and 6 books a week. With that amount of reading I have found some authors that I enjoy a lot and Kristen Proby is one of them. I was thrilled to be able to check out her newest one that just hit the stands.

Synopsis: From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes the third romance in the Love Under the Big Sky series, featuring a veteran struggling with PTSD and the one woman who can help him recover—and learn to love again.

Jillian thought she was a city girl through and through; the fast cars, high fashion, and glamour—she loves it all. But when her ex tells her he’s having a baby with his new wife (after Jillian struggled for years to get pregnant), she hightails it back to Montana to cry on the shoulder of her best friend, Cara.

But in truth, Jillian would rather be comforted by someone else…specifically Zack, Cara’s brother-in-law. Zack is a veteran of the Iraq War who came back to the family ranch to raise his preteen son after the boy’s mother took off. He’s struggling to re-establish a relationship with his son, and warding off the demons of PTSD, which still haunt him. The last thing he needs is bold, brassy Jillian…but why can’t he keep his hands off her?

My Thoughts: This book is part three of a series and I reviewed the first book last year. Loving Cara introduces the characters in this book and even though it is part of the series, you can read it as a stand alone without a lot of issues. Reading the other installments do add to the depth of the storyline and totally worth it!

One of the reasons I love Ms. Proby’s writing is because she writes about characters that seem real . Someone you know down the block or you went to school with. There is not a lot of drama, thank goodness, and you feel connected with these people. You can enjoy them as a family unit as all of the characters are closely united.

Zack is a dream boat and a man you would wish your daughter brought home! The story is fun and full of gushy love, and some hot scenes, but isn’t that what we love about these books? This is an easy to read, nice flowing, feel good story that pulls you in from the very first chapter.

Looking for a great read this weekend? You cannot go wrong with any of Kristen Proby’s books and this one I enjoyed greatly!
