What an enjoyable single-mom-to-be romance!

Sadie and Chase and their meet-cute was a lovely read! I enjoy Debbie Mason's romances, and this is one more to add to that list.

There were a lot of elements in this book...from the single mom-to-be to the brother who is in trouble.

I would recommend this one!

I have really liked all of the books in the Highland Falls series so far and Falling in Love on Willow Creek fell right into line. I don't think any of the books in the series will top Christmas on Reindeer Road for me, but I really enjoyed this one. I liked the mix of suspense with the traditional romance elements of the series. It kept me turning the pages to find out what happened. What I love most about small town romance series is that we get to know pretty much everyone in town, so it feels like you are living there and a part of the action yourself. I will be looking forward to the next book in the series!

This is a comical romance with plenty of Laugh out Loud moments! I am grateful that I am still reading at home and not out in the real world, just yet.
This story starts out with Sadie Gray in her grandmother’s store in Highland Falls, North Carolina being tortured by said Grandmother. Pregnant, twenty-eight years old, her grandmother had her dressed in a headband adorned with a gold horn and a pink unicorn sweatshirt that says, “I’m horny!”. Thankfully, my grandmother would never do such a thing! She was finding it hard to be happy while the thought of meeting up with her baby daddy, Drew was looming over her head. Drew was far from an upstanding guy. He just was fired from his job for drinking at work, only after Sadie has discovered that he had maxed out her credit card. Sadie really has her hands full with not only a meddling grandmother, but one who has premonitions that come true. This can be fun, but can also be menacing, when you are trying to lead a “normal” life when you have a brother who seems to always be up to no good and adult friends who still tease you about Granny’s second sight.
I am torn with whether I want to be best friends with Sadie or just an innocent bystander. The antics are sure interesting and would definitely spice up a situation, but at the same time, some situations are a little too much drama for me. A brother who almost got me arrested, no thanks, but he sure makes an interesting read! A Granny who constantly seems to be up to something- maybe up my alley. I love me a good naughty Granny! This book is going to have you rooting for a side, screaming at some of the decisions being made and just plain laughing out loud. If you are not one who likes to be judged for your public giggling, maybe read it on the beach. I LOVED this book and am now hooked on this author! This is my fifth book that I have read and I will be seeking out the next book, The Inn on Mirror Lake, coming in February of 2022.

Falling in Love on Willow Creek is a very well written romance. I enjoyed the plot, character dynamics and the setting. The bonus novella was very good too.

Falling in Love on Willow Creek by Debbie Mason is a great summer read. It had romance, humor, mystery, action, and suspense all rolled up in one story. This is book three from the Highland Falls series but can be read as a stand-alone. This is Chase and Sadie’s story and the chemistry they have is strong. They both have hidden agendas that may break them apart when discovered. This story was very well written with strong characters and plot. I recommend this book.

Delightful, but also a bit longer than it needed to be.  The romance was sweet but it's so much more than the romance.  I'm a sucker for a whacky small town with flawed characters.  Throw in the knight in tarnished armor,  a good group of friends, some laughable moments, and some dangerous intrigue and it's a recipe for an engaging read.

The author took me back 14 years to my second newborn parenting experience (and lordy, I don't miss those days!!)  We always joke that the birth order in our family is perfect because if the youngest had been born first he probably would have been an only - I have never related to a new mom depicted in a novel more!  Overall, I recommend as a good beach bag read.

Another wonderful and enjoyable story by Debbie Mason.
Sadie is a single mom, helping her family when an unexpected problem develops with her brother.
Chase is an undercover FBI agent, posing as a park ranger, who plays by the book.
When these two meet, you can't help but wonder if they will be able to deal with everything that comes their way. The way they meet is unique and luckily a strong friendship develops before all the truths are revealed.
A sweet, heartwarming, enjoyable story with a perfect blend of fun, coziness, family love and just enough mystery to keep me turning the pages quickly.
There is an added bonus book at the end......I always enjoy stories by this author!

This third chapter of Debbie Mason's Highland Falls series offers all the elements to make a delightful read. It has just the right combination of likeable characters, a suspenseful story, cute baby, mischievous dog, and a large dose of romance. The bonus story featuring the couples from all three books was a pleasant surprise. I can't wait to make another trip back to Highland Falls. Thanks to NetGalley and Forever Publishing for the advance copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Sadie and Chase meet under unusual circumstances. He's undercover with the FBI investigating her brother. As she's heading out of town during a snowstorm and gets stuck, he rescues her and delivers her baby girl. A bond forms between the two of them and he convinced her brother to turn himself in.

Their relationship grows but he's got to return to his job and her life and family are in a small town. Can they move beyond the differences to forge ahead and make a life together? You'll want to read this and the bonus novella to find out. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I did!

Sadie is pregnant and back to her home town for a fresh start and to help out her grandmothers unicorn shop that doesn't seem to be doing well. When driving home, it seems the baby had its own plans and decided it wanted to come sooner then expected thankfully FBI agent Chance was around to help. Thing is Chase was around because of her brother so he's undercover to see if Sadie is hiding her brother who he's going after. Some how sparks fly between Chase and Sadie.

You know what I got more out from this book then I expected. I thought this was going to be come fluffy contemporary romance with small town drama. While I did get some of that there was also the mystery of where her brother is, a death occurrence, a bit of suspense of when the brother would get caught and something about dirty cops. There was just so much to unpack wit this book and I'm here for it. I just couldn't stop this book I kept having my mind drift back to it when I wasn't reading it because I wanted more. I love the romance but with everything going on it was making things complicated. This was just such a great read highly recommend!

I love this series. I recommend you read them in order as the characters in earlier books make regular appearances in later ones. Also, it will give a chance to get to know all the side characters in the community. The first book in the series is Summer on Honeysuckle Ridge.

This one had a little more danger and suspense than the previous two, but was just as engaging. We also meet some new town residents that I trust (hope!) will be in future books.

Sadie is pregan toad home to help her grandmother with her uniform-themed store. She heads home during a storm and ends up having her baby in the side of the road with the help of two strangers. It’s not the birth she imagines, but one of the men, who introduces himself as Michael, does everything he can to make her comfortable. He imprints hard in both Sadie and her daughter. And then he disappears for a few months. Little does she know he’s undercover and working on a case that involves her brother. A few months pass and Sadie finds herself and her daughter back in Highland Falls where she crosses paths again with Michael (except she finds out that's not really his name).

While there’s a lot going on in this book, the romance between the main characters was really pure and lovely. I appreciated the lack of miscommunication (there were lots of opportunities not to trust each other and they didn’t go down that path which was really refreshing). I love everything about this series and can’t wait for the next one. I wish it was a real place that I could visit!

I absolutely loved every minute of Falling in Love on Willow Creek. This is one of my favorite series. Every book has been a 5-star read, and the characters are the best! Abby's YouTube channel and Finn, the kleptomaniac golden retriever were so entertaining and I really enjoyed Sadie and Chase's story.

The bonus novella, A Wedding on Honeysuckle Ridge, was the perfect ending. I can't wait for my next visit to Highland Falls! I'm really looking forward to reading Nate's story.

Sadie is very much pregnant and extremely worried about her younger brother. She is hoping to find him so she can help him like she always does. He's in big trouble this time with the police looking for him. She goes home even though her baby is due soon and things take a turn for the worse. She ends up stranded on a mountain in labor and with no way to call for help. When a park ranger named Chase comes to her rescue the two form a bond over the birth of her child. Chase has a huge secret he is keeping from Sadie and can't tell her about it. He knows if she knew who he really was she might not feel the same way about him. As the two's bond grows Chase wonders if she'll be able to see past the lies he told down to the truth of his real feelings. Will love be able to conquer all of will lies told get in the way. this was a lovely read filled that had me on an emotional ride which I loved!

Falling In Love On Willow Creek has a lot more danger and energy than the other books in the series, and it will keep you wondering who can be trusted in this small town.

Sadie and Chase's story is not all smooth sailing, and you will spend a lot of the time waiting for the other shoe to drop, however you will also love falling in love along with then.

I liked that it didn't show motherhood as all easy, and I liked seeing a character written that does struggle with life with a newborn.

I did find that it did drag a little bit, and there could maybe have been a chapter or two that were cut to make things flow faster - however that is just this readers thoughts.

I loved seeing more of the couples that we have already met, and we really do all need an Abby in our lives.

Sweet and scary and adrenalin pumping at times, I enjoyed my time back in the falls

I really enjoyed this book. I liked that the mystery and romance had me quickly reading the pages to find out what was going to happen next. It was fast paced and full of action as the plot developed. It was also full of sexy guys, FBI agents, family, friends, and characters from the other books. I also liked that it had my heart pounding at times. I enjoyed the story, the characters, and how the book ended. I found the book to be the perfect book to read on a hot summer day and I enjoyed the romance and the investigation. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.

Sadie Gray is back home in Highland Falls, pregnant and due at any moment. She is home to find her brother who is once again in trouble with the law. She is certain her grandmother is helping him at the cost of losing her treasured business. When Sadie goes into labour, stranded, she is sure life could not get any worse. When a handsome stranger comes to her aid, she experiences love at first sight.

Chase Roberts has one and only one thing on his agenda. To capture an elusive criminal and put him behind bars. When he stops to help a young woman in labour, he has no idea how his life is about to change.

This was just the sweetest story. Sadie’s’ character is so wonderfully written that you immediately sympathize with the young mother trying to keep it all together. Add in a handsome FBI agent and a mystery and it made for the perfect love story. Sadie’s grandmother is quite the character and she added that extra touch of humour to the story. I absolutely adored the book and loved Debbie Masons writing style. The Highland Falls series is one you will not soon forget. My thanks to Forever (Grand Central Publishing), Debbie Mason and Netgalley for an advanced copy of the book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Review:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love small town romances and this one was full of fun small town quirkiness and gossip. Throw in a bunch of unicorns, and I'm hooked! 🦄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I absolutely loved the bonus story, and recommend not skipping it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The author did a great job of building the characters up and creating that connection that we all want with the characters. I do believe that Sadie's Grandmother may be my favorite character in this book. The humor will make you laugh out loud. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
