He is fiercely protective of his family and when he reacquaints himself with Jillian he is persistent on winning her over.

Oh this story and the feels! This story touched on something very personal to me, so it effected me in a way it may not effect the average reader. That being said, I truly enjoyed this story!
After discovering her husband has been cheating on her, Jillian divorces him and moves back to Montana. Jillian’s marriage was never perfect, he was verbally abuse and ignored her, in addition to their fertility problems, but when she learns he and his new wife are pregnant it’s the last straw.

Jillian and Zach had a one night stand six months ago where Jillian woke up alone and immediately flew back to LA. Now she's back in town and her and Zach have avoided awkwardness. But now Zach wants to take a shot at a relationship, but with all of his baggage from being in the army and the fact that he needs to keep a secure environment for his son might get in the way of their happiness.

My favourite of the series. Friends to lovers, second chance, hot, steamy, dirty talker, sweet and romantic! Tick tick tick!
I loved Jillian and Zack's story. They had baggage, but they overcame it, eventually. From a misunderstanding from a one night stand, they tried to avoid each other. But you can only fight it for so long. And the giving on part, aaahhh! Zack had a deliciously dirty mouth, which surprised me. Alpha male and possessive. Great dad to Seth.

I love Kristen Proby, I don’t think there has been a book that she has written that I haven’t at least fallen a little bit in love with. Even the characters that you don’t 100% warm too, still always have a little something about them that you can get onboard with.

Among the three books, Falling for Jillian is my favorite. Zack King and Jillian Sullivan have a natural spark (not that the previous couples don't have one). The sexual tension between them oozed and they're just so romantic. Both of them have mental baggage and had been through terrible relationships. Their relationship is imperfect as well but I love how they managed themselves and the best part Zack had to grovel his way to Jillian's heart. He said hurtful things about her and the MAN. FRICK

4.5 "Sugar" Stars for the Story and 5 "Fantastic Performers" Stars for the Narration!
Falling for Jillian is a gripping story about second chances, and how love heals all wounds. I loved the attention in this story not only to the couple, but also to how their relationship affected the hero's 12 year-old son. It's funny, in the romance genre there seems to be a glut of billionaires, powerful CEOs, rock stars, athletes, etc; but it's been a while since I've read an honest to good love story betwe ...more

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.

In my review of Loving Cara, book 1 in the Love Under the Big Sky series, I commented that the book contained one of the best scenes ever for a secondary character; well that 4th of July scene with Zack King so had me wanting his happy and Ms. Proby did not disappoint.

Falling for Jillian turned out to be yet another awesome story in this series. Zach and Jillian had both been through relationship nightmares and considered themselves to have a lot of baggage. Jillian was a strong, yet vulnerable heroine. She fell for Zach and his preteen son Seth. I loved her interaction with Seth. So heartwarming. When life throws them a curve ball, Zach reacts poorly and hurts Jillian. I appreciate that he tried hard to apologize, I also appreciate that Jillian didn't make i

No, just no.
Look, I get that Zack has some previous trauma about women lying to him but If he truly loved Jill he would've accepted the baby the first time she told him. Sure, she could've lied but he should've stayed and listen to her because that baby is his too. The fact that he accepted Kensi when she was pregnant but he didn't love her and wouldn't accept Jill the woman he loves makes me really mad.

This is my favorite book in the series! I loved Zack and Jilly! I have been waiting for Jill's story since Loving Cara and this did not disappoint. Single dad Zack has been through a lot - he's served in the military and went to war. While he was away, his ex-wife was shacking up with guys who would hit his son. When he moves home to the ranch and has custody of his son, Seth, his priority is being a good dad. Jilly had a bad marriage, tried for years to get pregnant and couldn't. One day, she c

I did really like this one. I was nervous that the time apart would bug me in that it was a result of miscommunication and being stupid/stubborn. But, with their personalities, it worked. I would have liked to get to know Zach better. Felt like his POV was just focused on conversations with Jill. Not a lot of deep thought or perspective. It was pretty sweet. Had some drama and angst. No cheating!
Overall, very enjoyable!
