I never thought I’d see the day where I liked an amnesia trope. Brooke Montgomery does an amazing job handling this delicate dance. I don’t know how to explain it other than if you’re like “ehhhh amnesia-pass,” you need to give this book a try. The suspense subplot-I refuse to give away any spoilers-is both heartbreaking and devious. It’s just so so good. Ellie(FMC) can’t stand Landen(MMC), and she’s not afraid to let him know at every turn. She’s dedicated her life to barrel racing and is training with the best, Noah, at her family’s farm. But Noah’s brother Landen is determined to stick around.

This book offers more than just a romance and suspense subplot. We have to talk about the barrel racing information-training and competing-was so detailed. I know absolutely nothing about that world, but I feel like I came away from this book with a little bit of knowledge. I had no idea how involved the training was that goes into something like that. Maybe I need to find myself a rodeo romance book. Ellie is so incredibly dedicated to her craft. She eats, breathes, and sleeps barrel racing(and hating Landen Hollis). 

Fall with Me is the slowest burn. But the pace these two took their relationship at was perfect for their preexisting interactions. Landen was determined to not to rush things with the girl of his dreams. His biggest concern wasn’t that she’d get her memory back, but that she wouldn’t want him once she did. It would break his heart to let his Little Devil go.
