I received an eARC of this book via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.

Falling in Love on Willow Creek by Debbie Mason is the third book in her series Highland Falls. This time we follow the lives of Sadie Gray and Chase Roberts, a brand new single mom and FBI agent undercover. I wanted to love this one, I have loved all of Debbie Mason's books to date, but this one missed the mark with me.

Sadie is a bit of a hot mess when the book opens what with giving birth on the side of the road and all. But after it flashes forward a few months, Sadie is still a hot mess. Newly single, though definitely for the better, and jobless, she is floundering. Her new daughter is colicky, she’s sleep deprived, and at her wits end. I really felt for her. I remember those early days of having a newborn, and they are not easy. I could only imagine doing it alone. But Sadie’s pride gets in the way of her asking for help from her friends who are more than willing to give it.

Then enters Chase Roberts, or Michael Knight as Sadie knows him. Coming to her rescue the night her daughter was born and then mysteriously disappearing just as quickly, Michael was never far from Sadie’s thoughts. However he isn’t who she thinks he is. She believes he’s a park ranger, her “knight” in shining armor. But he’s actually an undercover FBI agent working to find her brother. Chase is extremely smart, but also a bit socially backward. I felt for him. He’s also got a heart of gold, doesn’t like lying, and now thinks he may be falling in love which is definitely against the rules.

The story has multiple plot lines that intersect. First there’s the mystery surrounding Sadie’s brother, her own involvement in the case, and where he might be. Murder may also be afoot
