Falling for You by Barb Curtis is the third and last book in her popular Sapphire Springs series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone book. This small-town romance with opposites attracts trope also has a little bit of mystery to make this a very satisfying read.

Faith Rotolo is a yoga instructor who travels the world providing first-class yoga instruction to travelers. After returning from working at a remote location in Fiji, she finds out she has inherited a sprawling Victorian home in Sapphire Springs from an uncle she barely knew. Faith has no plans to ever settle down, but Sapphire Springs has a way of drawing her in.

Single father of two adorable girls, Rob Milan, is focused on providing a stable home for his girls in order to gain dual custody of them. Over a year ago, he caught his wife cheating on him with his boss. After punching his boss and undergoing anger management, Rob knows he has to keep his nose clean and stay out of trouble in order to gain custody of his girls.

The author has a knack for writing comforting small-town romances, and I really enjoyed my trip back to Sapphire Springs. I liked that this book has a bit of a mystery along with the romance and family drama. Faith and Rob are opposites as Faith is more of a free spirit, and Rob is rooted in numbers and logic, but their romance feels realistic and they balance each other out beautifully.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance and women’s fiction. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

"Your the first person in a long time who's made me believe it could be different, made me want to try."

What You'll Find:
✔️Smalltown Romance
✔️Opposites Attract
✔️Single Parent
✔️Mystery Element
✔️Sunshine/Grump
✔️Dual POV

Faith, a free spirit, has never imagined putting down roots. But all that changes when she inherits a historic mansion in the smalltown of Sapphire Springs. Of course that mansion needs some serious renovation. Enter handsome single dad Rob. A new contractor and also a grump. They don't get off to the best start, but soon their personality clashes make way for a strong attraction. Too bad neither are looking for love.

Falling Into You is an enjoyable addition to series. While being a charming romance with all the feels, it also has a small element of mystery that seems to bind Faith and Rob. These two though, couldn't be more opposite. There is much going on behind the scenes for both of them but somehow they just keep being pulled back together. And soon they can no longer fight the growing attraction.

This has a great smalltown feel, with strong side characters who feel like one big family. It was nice to see Emily and Tim again too, they are my personal favorites. It did take me a little time to get into this one but once I did, I zipped through. If smalltown, closed door romance is your jam then I would definitely recommend trying this series!

I received a free ARC eBook from Net Galley and the publisher in exchange for my honest opinions.

4.5/5 stars. Falling for You is the third and final book in the Sapphire Springs series. They are a set of companion novels, and if you haven't read the first two, you don't need to for understanding what is happening in this book. I have read the other two, and I highly recommend them as they are just as awesome as this one!

This is a small town, closed door romance that Barb Curtis does so well. Faith and Rob, the two main characters are so well developed in this book. You see Faith, wanting to find "home" and finding friends and comfort in the small town of Sapphire Springs. I loved the friendships she developed with characters, including quirky Hazel of the yoga shop. I really felt for Rob in this book. He seems to be down on his luck and a bit lost. I loved his relationship with his two daughters, and I also like how the author wrote them into the story.

I like how Barb Curtis wrote Faith and Rob coming together and how, though they are both not in the place to be in a relationship, they discover that love comes when you are least expecting it. I also like how the book is told from both Faith and Rob's perspectives, which allows you to see the emotions that both are feeling around the new relationship and the other things happening in their lives.

This book is different than the previous novels, as it isn't just a straight up romance, but has a bit of a mystery to it. Faith inherited her house and her and Rob get wrapped up in a bit of a mystery about her family's history, which added to this story.

Falling for You is a charming romance that I really enjoyed. Barb Curtis is an auto-read author for me and I can't wait to see what she comes out with next. Thank you to NetGalley and Forever publising for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an open and honest review. All opinions are 100% mine.

4 stars - I liked it!

Barb Curtis is my go-to for small town, closed door romances! Generally, I like my romances to be super steamy, but Barb Curtis makes me enjoy closed door romances every time! I love this series of hers and to see the past characters making an appearance in this book.

Faith has found out that she's inherited a mansion in Sapphire Springs when she gets a call from a lawyer one day. She goes with the intention of selling the place, only to be drawn to it and prolonging her stay. She's never belonged anywhere before, and since this house is from her mother's side of the family, she can feel her presence at the mansion and is urged to keep it. Rob has been wanting to buy the mansion for a long time for him and his daughters to have a beautiful place to live in, but finding out that Faith is now the owner, he decides to help her clean the place up and make it like it's hay-day, finding out how much they like each other along the way.

This book is unique compared to the others as it has a mystery element in the house that coincides with Faith's ancestors. Rob and Faith discover different journals and old documents in the house and try to find out the truth behind certain events that occurred long ago.

This is perfect for my small-town lover friends, this whole series is! You won't be disappointed by this series and the characters!❤

Thank you to Netgalley and Forever Pub for the earc in return for an honest review.

I loved the first two books in this series and was so excited to take a trip back to Sapphire springs. I was really excited to read Rob's story and Barb Curtis did not disappoint. This wasn't just a straight forward romance, there was also a mystery thrown in which added to the overall story. I really like the way rob and faith's relationship developed. I'm only disappointed that this is the end of the series.

The first two of Barb's small town sweet romances in this series are what I expect out of the trope: a comfort read that I want to relax with on a cold day with a warm drink and blanket. While this one was harder for me to get into, I enjoyed going back to Sapphire Springs and the ending was satisfying.
Rob's heartbreak witnessed though the eyes of his friends needed a turn around. He's lost too much and with a custody battle imminent, he's encouraged to hunker down, cool his jets, and avoid romantic relationships. Into his life waltzes Faith. She's not out to commit to a place to live permanently, let alone a new man.
I think Faith's lack of focus made it hard to relate to her. She seemed to have her hands in all the pies but little drive to see something through. Her interactions with Hazel, Emily, Leyna, and Rob's daughters made her more accessible.
I'm interested to see what Barb writes next. I think she's great with harmonizing chemistry and a believable relationship arc.
Thank you to Forever and NetGalley for the advanced copy. All thoughts in this review are my own.

I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this book.

This is a great book. I didn’t want to put it down at all. This is the third book in a series but I read it as a stand-alone.

Faith comes back from Fiji and gets an unexpected call from a lawyer saying she has a house in Sapphire Springs. She goes to look at the house that her great uncle leaves for her. She starts a relationship with Rob who has to share custody of his two daughters. I felt like I was part of the story.

Thank you NetGalley, Barb Curtis and Forever Publishing for the ARC of Falling for You. This is my personal review.
This is the third book in the Sapphire Springs Series. Each book can be read as a standalone. Reading each if them will give you a wonderful look into the town of Sapphire Springs.
Faith returns from a retreat in Fiji to find she is homeless but within just minutes a phone call tells her she has inherited something in Sapphire Springs from a distant relative. She finds out it was a family home. The place needs work and she wants to bring it back to they way it was. She hires Rob as the contractor, and it isn’t long before sparks fly between the two.
The chemistry between these two is amazing and I could just feel it as I was reading.
This is a fantastic addition to the Sapphire Springs series.

I absolutely loved this entire series! Falling for You was a fantastic addition. Faith and Rob make a great "opposites attract" couple that started out contentious and then blossomed beautifully. This third installment also had a thread of mystery to it and I was so intrigued. It was great to visit Leyna and Jay and Emily and Tim again, as well as the charming town of Sapphire Springs in general. Truly a humorous, romantic, and page-turning contemporary romance series that I recommend wholeheartedly! (And those covers are GORGEOUS.)

Falling for You by Barb Curtis. Sapphire Springs #3. Forever (Grand Central Publishing), 2022.

Stories about women who unexpectedly inherit a house from a distant or unfamiliar relative are among my favourites, especially when these involve renovations, some sort of notable discovery and a romance. Falling for You, a story about Faith who inherits her deceased mother’s family home in a small but charming little town, is a pleasant, easy read.

The plot includes a bit of conflict, not too distressing. Main and supporting characters and likeable and credible.
The book is well written with lovely descriptions of the house, the town and people Faith meets.

Disclosure: I received a review copy of In The Betrayal for free via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. #TheBetrayal #NetGalley.

Loved it. A sweet romance with a hint of mystery. Lots of back stories that keep one intrigued. Terrific series in the small town of Sapphire Springs. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley.

This was the third book in the Sapphire Springs series, but it could easily be read as a stand alone. The book starts when yoga instructor Faith returns from a retreat in Fiji to find out she is homeless and has nowhere to go. Minutes after discovering that she gets a call that she has inherited something from a distant relative in the town of Sapphire Springs and it turns out to be a family home. While in town trying to figure out what to do with her life and her inheritance she keeps bumping into a handsome guy, who turns out to be interested in trying to buy her family home. Sparks fly every time they are near, though both are uninterested in a relationship as they were both hurt quite deeply in a divorce. In addition to this storyline is a family mystery that Faith works to uncover as she digs through the family home. I enjoyed getting to hear updates on other characters in Sapphire Springs from previous books. I’m sad to learn this is the last book in the series as there are so many interesting characters I would have loved to see get their own book. Another great book by Barb Curtis, I look forward to seeing what she writes next! I received an ARC from netgalley, and this is my honest review.

Barb Curtis is a new author for me and Falling for You is the first book I’ve read of hers. I really enjoyed it. I love small town romance and I loved Faith and Rob’s story. Rob and his children are delightful! All the characters seem real and by the end of the book I wanted to visit Sapphire Springs. This is a wonderful story of love and second chances and I will definitely be looking for more by this author. Her writing is refreshing and I love the story from Rob’s perspective. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves small town romances!

I would like to thank NetGalley and Forever publishing for this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thanks to Forever Publishing for the free book.
I love Sapphire Springs, and if all small towns were like this one, I'd leave my city life for it. I liked how the book pulled in the characters from previous books, and gave such a fresh perspective from the newcomer in town, Faith. She meets Rob right away, and I just loved the development of their friendship and potential romance. It was so refreshing to read about people who had kids as their best interest in mind. I also liked how the author showed divorce from Rob's POV and what it looked liked to be an involved, great dad.
These two also get caught up in a small mystery that was so interesting to read about because that time frame is one I'm interested in.

Falling for You is the story of Faith, a yoga instructor who is down on her luck. She unexpectedly finds herself the new owner of a historic small town Sapphire Springs mansion that she hopes to bring new life to. It doesn't hurt that Rob, the new contractor on the project, is handsome and enjoyable for Faith to be around. And perhaps he wouldn't mind her company as well?

Falling for You is an adorable small town romance that is full of charm. I loved the Sapphire Springs setting and felt that it set a good tone for the book. Both Faith and Rob are great characters with interesting background stories. Especially Rob's drama with his ex-wife, wow, how frustrating! Reading the progression of their relationship is so sweet and how their feelings for each other really helps other aspects of their lives. Falling for You is an all around great romance novel and one that I would recommend to other romance fans.

Thanks to Netgalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for this ARC; this is my honest and voluntary review.

Loved reading this book and series if you haven't read it yet I highly recommend doing so. If you can read the books in order

I loved this book and this series so very much. These two characters were so vulnerable and so perfect for each other. I definitely recommend this book and this series.

Faith is an independent young yoga instructor who has been teaching in Fiji and returns to Sapphire Springs as she inherits a home. She hires a local team to do repairs on her home and meets single father and nearly divorced Rob. Neither is ready to settle down and neither is looking for love.

Rob is very realistic and Faith is quite positive, a dreamer. They butt heads more than a little but they also connect in ways that neither expect.

This is the third novel in the Barb Curtis Sapphire Springs Series but can also be read as a stand alone novel. It is also one of my favorites. They just keep getting better and better (though I have loved them all). The storyline is wonderful and relatable as are the characters. The story is well-written and beautiful.

Of all the Sapphire Springs books, this one is my favorite! Rob and Faith's story was the most relatable to me, and I was enthralled with how it ended the series. But I can't let go of these characters. Can we please have a novel about Ella and James next?
