ABOUT THE BOOK
In this collection:-
THE PLUCKY MISS RUTH by Laura Rollins:
Miss Ruth Hughes is certain she’s caught in a time loop—every day she wakes to find it exactly as the one before. A thrilling prospect to be sure. If the many books she reads on time travel has taught her anything, it is that to break free she must complete an all-important task. For Ruth the task is straightforward: reunite a couple, once desperately in love but forced apart by society. Unfortunately, things are not always as easy as they first appear. Struggling, Ruth opens up to the handsome Lord Lambert and he readily agrees to help. With autumn on the brink of turning into winter, time is running out for Ruth to help the ones who need her most. And, with a bit of luck, perhaps she can even find a little time for her own happily ever after.
- MR. DOWLING'S REMEDY by Annette Lyon:
Crandall Dowling’s aspirations of becoming a physician collapse when he develops symptoms that land him in an asylum. He’s been at Sherville Retreat long enough for autumn leaves to appear when Beverly Stanton arrives. She’s held under the dubious diagnosis of “hysteria” but seems perfectly sane, unlike Crandall, though his verbal and physical tics don’t seem to scare or even bother her. Beverly and Crandall develop a friendship fueled by an undeniable attraction that under other circumstances could become more. But in an asylum, one cannot plan a future, let alone one of love or marriage. Then tragedy strikes, testing staff and patients beyond anyone’s training. When the dust settles, Beverly’s diagnosis may be reversed, but if she leaves, what will become of her? What of Crandall? And what of their autumn-born love?
- A RAILWAY THROUGH THE ROSES by Lisa H. Catmull:
Mr. Adrian Everard has tried everything to keep his father’s factory open, but a single solution remains. Marry an heiress before Christmas to fund the desperately needed railway. The local landowner, Lady Anne Baxter, will not agree to sell her garden—or her heart. Indeed, his childhood friend is determined to sabotage all his efforts to find a wife. As the deadline for Adrian to choose a bride draws close, one thing becomes painfully obvious. Saving the factory will mean losing the woman he loves forever.
An Autumn Kiss shares clean romantic stories that vary from being a sweet romance, controversy romance and a romance with friends turned to romance. The authors' voices differ in a lot of ways, but they come together to bring a fun seasonal Victorian romance anthology that romance readers will find enjoyable and entertaining to read. Each of the stories has something to offer starting with The Plucky Miss Ruth where Ruth tries to break away her routine with something new. This story reminded me in some ways of a time loop that suddenly starts to fray and break apart. It was interesting and different but could have been written a little stronger with more descriptions. Mr. Dowling's Remedy was a sweet romance, but also very appropriately for the season gave off some Halloween vibes. It was more than a little disturbing to read about a sane person being committed without any rights I felt like this was an interesting breakaway from standard romance books and gave the reader something to think about. I enjoyed A Railway Through the Roses. The characters in this romance felt strong and was well-written. Overall, this anthology is an entertaining read that readers will enjoy.
