Synopsis
My name is Autumn
Winters.
The truth is, that's the biggest lie I've ever
told.
My real name is Olivia Redmund. Autumn Winters
is the curtain I hide behind. You see, I write bestselling erotic romance
novels. But my life is far from erotic. The only fantasy exists in my head.
The day I met Hunter Grayson, that all changed.
A handsome stranger on a train who turned my world upside down, made me think
and feel things I never knew were possible.
But he's hiding, too.
What happens when I slowly realize that who I
truly am is more similar to who I'm pretending to be? I want to be brave enough
to tell the world, but the fear is crippling.
Fear of myself. Fear of the unknown. Fear of
what others will think.
But life is too short to be afraid.
And I'm so damn tired of hiding.
Excerpt
“Shit,” I mumble to myself when I spy the pink
vibrator, glaring proof of my non-existent sex life now on public display. “God
damn it,” I utter again, shaking my head and scrambling to grab it, when I
notice a pair of beautiful, masculine hands scooping up my belongings.
Completely mortified, my cheeks flush a deep red, and I’m silently praying he
hasn’t spotted my favorite sex toy. My eyes make their way from the ground,
climbing past the hands and up the length of strong, muscular arms to an
absolutely gorgeous face, and I take a hard swallow. A chiseled jaw with a hint
of stubble, irises the color of aged brandy, a sharp, sculptured nose, and
perfectly tousled hair that matches his hypnotic eyes. I don’t realize that I’m
staring until his lips quirk up into a grin.
Could I be any more obvious?
He tosses the items back in my purse and nods toward
the vibrator. “I’ll let you handle that one,” he offers, his voice a rich
timbre to my ears. “Although,” he whispers, leaning in close, “I’m sure I could
put it to good use.” My mouth drops open in surprise, just as he reaches his
thumb out to skim my bottom lip. “I’m pretty sure I could put this sexy mouth
to good use, too.”
Review:
Rating: 5 groupie stars
Reviewer: Ebbie
Can you say HOT!! Finding Autumn is a super sexy little
novella that will have you wanting more of Autumn and much, much more of
Hunter. This novella got my attention from the first page when we meet Olivia
Stadler, erotic romance author going by the pen name Autumn Winters. Her life
outside of her writing has been boring and plain since she found her fiancé in
bed with a neighbor. Autumn meets Hunter at the coffee shop at the train
station; they have a short flirty exchange before Autumn leaves in a hurry to
catch the train. Autumn gets settled into the train and is surprised to see
Hunter boarding the same train; this is when the naughty adventure begins.
Finding Autumn was an amazing novella that was captivating
and fast paced; I could not put this novella down, I read it in a single
setting. I loved the story line and
characters; Hunter brought out the confidence in Olivia that she was lacking.
Olivia made Hunter learn to trust other people besides his brother. They
brought out the best in each other and the chemistry was through the roof;
leading to super sexy and hot love scenes. Beth Michele was very descriptive in
writing the love scenes; you can picture every scene as you read them. I was
sad to see this novella end; I’m hoping for a follow up novella to learn the
ending to Hunter and Olivia’s love story even though I know that this was a
stand alone.
