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?

    Another amazing book by Kristen Proby! Seriously, I love the characters she writes and she never disappoints me! This story is told from dual pov's and can be read as a standalone.

    Falling for Jillian follows the story of Jillian and Zach. Jillian has just moved back home after ending her marriage. She's trying desperately to move on with her life. However, moving on isn't easy, especially when she finds out that not only has her ex remarried, but also gotten his new wife pregnant; something Jillian has struggled with for years. All she wants is to find that spark, that connection that everyone deserves....

    Zach is everything that Jillian wants. But, a misunderstanding is keeping the two of them apart. And that's not the only thing, both of them have baggage and are afraid of letting anyone get close.......Zach is a war veteran and is struggling with PTSD. As if that wasn't enough, he's having to undo all the damage his ex has done to their son. The last thing he expected was to fall for Jillian. Only,Jillian is exactly what Zach and his son need. But when another misunderstanding happens, it all blows up in Zach's face. Zach has been hurt and lied to before. Will he able to move forward and put his fears behind him? Or will he be too late and loose the love of his life???

    I loved, loved Falling for Jillian. I've been waiting for Jillian and Zach's story for a while now and I was not disappointed. I was pulled into their story right away. I've been needing some answers since we first met them in Loving Cara and was so happy to finally get them.

    Falling for Jillian is a great book about family, and finding love again. Kristen Proby gave me everything that I was looking for: great writing, angst, romance, steam, great chemistry and a HOT alpha male. One of the things I love about these books is that the romance is sweet. There's some angst, but not too much. It's always just the right balance.

    Overall, I found this book to be really enjoyable. I think the story wrapped up pretty nicely and I couldn't be happier with the way things ended. I would love for there to be another book in this series, but if not, I'm ok with that too. If you are a fan of this series or Kristen Proby's books, you will be disappointed. It's a fantastic read and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

    I don’t know where to begin! I don’t know why I am surprised. Everyone of Kristen’s books has grabbed me from the beginning and sucked me right in. I will admit that I was one of those “people” who thought reading was going to end when the Seattle series came to an end…boy was I WRONG! I absolutely LOVED this series. I fell I love with the characters from the beginning. You only got a glimpse of Zack but the intrigue got you. Both were carrying baggage and because of past events were afraid to open up entirely to each other. When Jillian told him her story and that she couldn’t have children it was what she felt was her biggest failure. She felt that he was going to walk away at that point. When Zack told her about his Tattoos and what they represented that was the most he had ever told anyone about his past and his war history. The way they bonded together and the way she brought Seth around was heartwarming. When she found out that she was pregnant it was the happiest day of her life and she felt that Zack was going to be just as happy as she was because after all, they loved each other. What she forgot was how he was treated by his Ex-wife when she got pregnant on purpose. He said horrible things to her hateful things and I will admit that I was ready to jump into my Kindle and punch him in the mouth. He deserved everything she threw back at him but then he was being treated badly by her because he got her defensives up because everything he did to her was done by her Ex. When he decided to show her just how much he loved her and enlisted Seth, my heart skipped a beat. Makes you wish you could find someone like that. When she started to spot and became scared and had no one to call and called Cara and Zack showed up causing a commotion, it was so cute. When they found out they were having twins it was so funny. Skip to the end and unfortunately the end of another great series by Kristen she tied everything together into a nice neat bow. How Seth just blurted the name out for the baby girl stopping the brewing argument about the “girl” name and calling Jillian “mom” was unbelievably sweet. I cannot stress enough that you need to read this series. You will not be disappointed.

    I loved this series.
    Jill and Zacks story was so touching. I loved watching their relationship grow and seeing them fall in love, and overcome the struggles they faced in their relationship. Seth is such a gorgeous kid who has grown so much since 'Loving Cara'. And the story would be the same with out Josh and Cara, Ty and Lauren. They are all such amazing characters.
    This is definitely one of my favourite series. Can't wait to read what Kristen Proby writes next, and hopefully we can see some more of the 'Love Under the Big Sky' characters in the future.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 28, 2015

    I have to say Kristen Proby is one of my very favourite authors and one whose books I pre-order as soon as they become available. I have read the earlier books in this series more than once and whilst this is readable as a standalone, it helps to have read the other two books, Loving Cara and Seducing Lauren. Kristen develops extremely likeable characters who find themselves in a range of situations dealing with emotional baggage from previous relationships. Her style of writing makes her books difficult for me to put down and on a day like yesterday when other authors I read also had releases, I went straight for Falling for Jillian to read first. I was not disappointed and really enjoyed the characters, the families and their interactions. Zack and Jillian met in an earlier book and Seth, Zack's son, was also introduced then. Seth is a loveable boy who went straight to my heart and I enjoyed reading the way in which Kristen wove his character and life into the story of the main characters. I enjoyed that the members of Zack and Jillian's families are also woven through the story. I hope there will be more books to come in this series. This and the other books by Kristen will stay on my kindle as re-read any number of times books. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good story, well written and which leaves you wanting to read more of the characters, both the main characters and the supporting characters.

    Omg!! I'm just so in love with Kristen and even more in love with her books... She's such an amazing author, that there's never any question as to whether or not to by her next book, it's just automatic.. This was yet again another first class story from her.. I recommend any books she has ever written, it would be purely selfish to keep them all to myself lol... written beautifully, with just the right mixture of love and heartache (I sobbed my heart out), awww moment and laughter....
