Ratings and reviews

I loved getting to know Autumn more and she really is the perfect match for Grey whether either of them realize it or not. I love how this series is not only about each of the three Holloway sons finding there match (and maybe someone else too ;) ) but also about a fractured family coming together and finally dealing with past events that made three close brothers become estranged. Grey doesn't want to be home but it is his turn to stay and overlook things at Moonlight Ridge while his father still recovers from a medical event and learning he has to oversee the event planner does nothing to make it better but he i in for a surprise when he meets Autumn just as she is with him, they both have strong work ethic and no time for love especially not Autumn when her life is pretty well falling apart around her due to being ditched before her wedding and a famous father who she has put distance between so she can be seen as her own person. This was a fantastic read with plenty of laughs many including Grey's Dad as well as romance, remembering family isn't only made by blood and that you can have it all if you really want it! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

And just like that, another Holloway brother has gone and stolen my heart. Like Mack, Grey values control above all things, and love is messy, out of control, and he’s only ever seen it end in hurt. Autumn is a romantic optimist. Life has tried to beat her down, but she just keeps getting back up and trying again. With those outlooks, this pair should be the definition of “opposites”, and maybe that’s a large part of why they light up so many sparks when they’re together. Differing outlooks certainly doesn’t stop the attraction from blossoming between them. I loved watching Grey learn how to let go a little and let his family love him. And, while I appreciated that Autumn wanted to stay clear of the mess with her father, I didn’t enjoy the way it felt like she just rolled over and let him get away with his bad behavior. The vindictive parts of me wanted to see justice done for how badly he’d hurt her. There’s still at least one question left that we’re looking for the answer to. I’m hoping that the final book will reveal all. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.

This is the second book in the Autumn Ridge Series and the first book I've read in the series. This was a great book that caught my attention right at the beginning and it was hard to put down. Talk about opposites, she's so positive and upbeat while he' s Mr. Grumpy. But you know what they say about opposites. Their chemistry was magical and it doesn't take them long to create a little steam. A fun book with great characters and a page turning story. I read an arc via Booksprout and voluntarily chose to write a review.
