Fall With Me by Brooke Montgomery

4.75

---

Let me be real—this series and I are in a toxic relationship. We started off strong, had a good thing going, and then somewhere around book two... it all started spiraling. And yet, here I am again, emotionally invested and mildly yelling at fictional characters like they’re my actual friends.

Fall With Me is the chaos I didn’t know I wanted and everything I didn’t know I needed—until it hit me square in the chest with cowboy charm and unexpected tenderness.

🐎 Our Leading Lady... Girl, Please.

Ellie, Ellie, Ellie. You took pills from someone before a race? You trusted Angela (you know—the cousin who literally pushed someone off a cliff)? You blamed Landen for something and spent most of the book resenting him without ever telling him why?

Ma’am. Please.

Then she falls off a horse, gets amnesia (yes, really), and suddenly Landen’s looking like the best thing that ever happened to her. It’s giving trauma-to-love-pipeline, and while I rolled my eyes more than once, I also kept flipping the pages. Because...

🧡 Landen. Sweet, swoony, soft-on-the-inside Landen.

He’s everything I love in a small-town cowboy:

• 
  Broody? ✔️
  
  
  
• Loyal? ✔️
  
  
  
• Whispers sweet nothings in French? ✔️✔️✔️
  
  
  
  

Landen falls hard and early, and he never once gives up—despite Ellie icing him out like it’s her full-time job. Watching him care for her (especially post-accident) melted me. He’s the reason this book worked. Without him, it’s a 2-star ride into frustration.

Also, the hat scene. If you know, you know. Cowboy sensuality at its finest.

🔥 Tropes Galore (and They Deliver)

• 
  Grumpy x Sunshine
  
  
  
• Enemies to Lovers
  
  
  
• He Falls First
  
  
  
• Forced Proximity
  
  
  
• Amnesia Romance
  
  
  
• Small Town Cowboy Chaos
  
  
  
  

The tension? Real.
 The chemistry? Slow burn but worth it.
 The payoff? Could’ve come sooner, but hey, I’ll take it.

😬 What Didn’t Sit Right

• 
  Ellie’s decision-making. Between poor choices and blind loyalty, she tested my patience. Repeatedly.
  
  
  
• The pacing. We spend most of the book in a love-hate stalemate, and just when things get good—boom, it ends. Abruptly.
  
  
  
• Series fatigue. I’m emotionally attached to this world, but I’m begging the women in these stories to make at least one sound decision.
  
  
  
  

Final Verdict

Do I have issues with this book? Yes.
 Did I yell at Ellie more than once? Also yes.
 Did I fall a little in love with Landen and highlight every flirty line? Absolutely.

Fall With Me was frustrating, angsty, a little unhinged—and I devoured it anyway. If you're a fan of messy small-town drama, emotionally constipated cowboys, and love stories that shouldn’t work but do, give this one a shot.

Just maybe keep a stress ball nearby.
