Autumn Skies by Denise Hunter is a heartwarming romance with a gentle undercurrent of faith. Although this newest release is the third book in the Bluebell Inn Romance series, it can be read as a standalone.
After four years of hard work, Grace Bennett and her siblings, Levi and Molly, are ready to put their successful B&B up for sale. Following their tragic loss, they completed their parents' goal of turning the family home into an inn. Levi, Molly and Grace are, at long last, ready to move on to the dreams each of them have willingly put on hold.
Now twenty-one, Grace has worked hard to get her business, Blue Ridge Outfitters, up and running. She has plans for the next step in her life but she is a little nervous about moving forward. Grace is confident and happy, but a couple of incidents bring up long ago memories that continue to haunt her.
Secret Service Agent Wyatt Jennings is unexpectedly coping with a long unresolved issue following an incident while on the job. When his boss forces him to take time off, Wyatt decides it is time to find some closure. Returning to Bluebell, NC, he impulsively decides to stay at the Bluebell Inn. Feeling much older than his years and a bit world weary, Wyatt is surprised by his interest in Grace.
Grace is supportive of Wyatt's quest and she volunteers to aid him as he searches for the place where his life took a shocking turn. Wyatt is impressed by Grace's maturity and how down to earth she is. They perfectly complement one another and prove to be incredibly helpful as each of them face their painful pasts. As Grace and Wyatt get to know one another, they both fight their unanticipated attraction to one another. Despite their deepening feelings, Grace and Wyatt cannot see any chance of a future together. Or is there?
Autumn Skies is a sweet romance with plenty of depth and substance. The storyline is well-developed with realistic issues for Grace and Wyatt to overcome. Grace and Wyatt are three-dimensional characters who spring vibrantly to life. The Bluebell Inn and surrounding area provide a tranquil backdrop for the unfolding story. With a delightful plot twist, Denise Hunter brings this final installment in the Bluebell Inn Romance series to an uplifting, heartfelt conclusion. Old and new fans are sure to love this charming faith-based romance.

Autumn Skies is the 3rd novel in Denise Hunter's Bluebell Inn series, with each one focusing on one of the three siblings. The latest book focuses on Grace, the youngest Bennett, who falls for Wyatt Jennings, a secret service agent who stays at the Bluebell Inn as he is healing from a job-related injury. Denise Hunter writes in a way that grabs my interest from the first chapter and keeps me reading until the final page. I am sad to hear this is the final book in the series. I would love to read more about the three siblings and their future lives.

This is my first book by the author and I liked it. Though this is the third book in the series, it can be read as standalone. Wyatt is a secret service agent who comes to Bluebell Inn for some closure on his past. Grace is running the inn with her siblings and she has her own survivor's guilt that she is trying to overcome. Both had good chemistry and the story was interesting.

Great story! I didn't realize it was the third in a trilogy when I started, so now I'm going back to read the other 2. If they are half as good as this one, they are going to be amazing!

Charming finale to what has become my favorite series of Denise Hunter. Great characters and a compelling story made this one I could not put down! Sorry to see the series end and wouldn’t mind a follow up story about Ethan.

Autumn Skies is a well-written Christian romance by author Denise Hunter. Autumn Skies is installment #3 in A Bluebell Inn Romance series.
Reading people was part of Wyatt Jennings's job description. Wyatt had always been an expert at handling his emotions. In four weeks he would move up to Presidential Protective Detail. Grace Bennett owned and ran The Blue Bell Inn.
I am so glad I have more of Ms. Hunter’s books to read because I love her writing. Autumn Skies is told from the POV of both Grace and Wyatt, who work well together.
Even though Autumn Skies is the 3rd installment of the series it works well as a stand-alone. I recommend Autumn Skies to fans of Christian Romance. I give Autumn Skies 5*/5*.
