Falling for Jillian
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?

Falling for Jillian is Book 3 in the Love Under the Big Sky series. This book is a fast read. The narrative gets to the point
pretty quickly. Kristen Proby has a very easy writing style that is straightforward and engaging. I enjoyed the
interaction between the two characters. Their relationship felt sweet. The drama doesn't take a deep dive, maybe
because although I liked the characters, I did feel not invested in them. This is book 3 in the series and I think I
may have missed out a bit by reading this out of order.
Jillian has come home after being betrayed by her ex-husband. This combined with growing up with an abusive father has left her world-weary and gun shy about love. Zack is a rancher, twin brother to Josh (from Loving Cara) and father of Seth. He enjoys the ranching life and after a career in the military and serving time during a war, he is ready for the quiet life. After a scorching one-night stand, they each walked away with the wrong idea about one another. (I am assuming this happens in a previous book.) This books starts with the two of them already fighting a strong attraction to one another. Needless to say, it doesn't take long for the heat to get turned up high and I was sweating through some of their romantic interludes.
I wish that I could've learned more about Zack's military experience. Although this book is not about PTSD, the blurb alludes to it, but the book doesn't deal with it at all. In fact, as one character put its, Zack deals more with the PTSD from his relationship with his first wife than he does with his time in war. Perhaps, there is more about Zack in the earlier books.
For a quick, sweet weekend read, this book will fit the bill.

EXCERPT:
“Okay, plug them in.” I run to the porch and plug in the lights, then run back into the front yard to see them. “Oh, they’re so pretty!” “Thank God they all work,” he says as he tosses the black shoe down to the ground and then moves carefully down to the ladder. “It would be a bitch to have to take them back down.” “I checked them,” I assure him, and when his foot finally lands safely on the snow and he turns to me, I hit him on the arm. “You shouldn’t have done that! You took ten years off my life!” I throw my arms around his torso and squeeze him tightly, then back away. “No, you shouldn’t have been on that ladder. If I catch you on one again, I’ll spank your ass until it glows.” My jaw drops as I gaze up into his frustrated face. For once in my life, I’m speechless. I scowl as I pull myself together and clench my fists. “You wouldn’t dare . . .” “Put yourself in danger again and see if I don’t,” he replies calmly and crosses his arms over his chest. “Did you come here to bully me?” He sighs and pulls his beanie off his head, pushing his fingers through the messy brown strands. I want to sink my fingers in that thick, dark hair. “No. I came because you won’t answer your fucking phone so I can apologize for the other night.” “I don’t want your apology,” I reply and throw the extra lights and staple gun back into the tote and turn away, but he catches my arm and turns me back to him, takes the tote, and sets it down. “I’m going to give it anyway.” His jaw is firm. “I had no right to kiss you like that in the parking lot for everyone to see.” I jerk back, mortified. “You’re apologizing for kissing me?”
