I can’t be the only person that absolutely loves autumn (or fall if you’re in a certain part of the world). There’s just something so fun and cozy about this time of year and reading autumnal themed romance books has always been so much for me. It always makes me feel like I’m living in Gilmore Girls. So here are 10 romance books you should check out this autumn.

The Pumpkin Spice Cafe – Laurie Gilmore

Jeanie has just been given her aunt’s beloved Pumpkin Spice Cafe in the small town of Dream Harbour and she jumps at the chance of a fresh start away from her dull desk job. As she moves into this new town, she meets an array of interesting characters including Logan, a local farmer determined to avoid the town’s gossip at all costs. But the entire town seems weirdly protective of Logan and Jeanie’s arrival has disrupted his routine so he wants nothing to do with her. Except they both find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another.

Falling For You – Emily Maple

Annie absolutely loves autumn and everything to do with it – the October air, pumpkin-spiced lattes, her hand-knitted scarf and beanie. But her favourite thing this year is the bat costume she’s made for a Halloween party she’s attending. 

She doesn’t expect the huge pop-out wings on her costume to attack someone and end up ripping the shirt off the most handsome man at the party. But she ends up spending the entire party talking to him before he gets an emergency phone call and runs off before giving Annie his number. 

Now all she has to do is find him again…

Apple of My Eye – Claire Kershaw

Nick has almost finished his MBA and is ready to take the business world by storm. His final project is to develop a marketing strategy to revitalise a small town apple farm. Unfortunately, it’s the rival farm of the one that Eloise plans on expanding. 

An Autumn Crush – Milly Johnson

Headstrong Juliet Miller has just invested in a flat after a bad divorce and has to find a flatmate. She’s in her late thirties so she’s pretty sure she won’t be able to find anyone that will be suitable but then she meets Floz. Floz is a self-employed copywriter who has also just split from her partner and they both get along like a house on fire.

But then Juliet’s twin brother meets Floz and there’s an instant attraction, just as his friend Steve becomes interested in Juliet… except he gives her the entirely wrong impression. 

So there’s four friends, two crushes and Juliet is about to discover a secret that could turn their lives upside down.

If It Makes You Happy – Julie Olivia

Michelle’s brand new next-door neighbour, Cliff, seems to have everything figured out. He’s a hot single dad with amazing arms that Michelle definitely has not noticed. 

Michelle didn’t think taking over her mother’s dream bed and breakfast in Vermont was going to be easy but she thought it would be a good place to heal after her divorce. She has nothing figured out.

And Cliff always seems to be everywhere and despite knowing that she’ll be leaving in 3 months… all Michelle can think about is kissing her hot neighbour.
