A Cup of Autumn by Melissa McClone
4.0
The covers of this book give nothing away as to the story inside. I wish we had a better description of the characters so it would be easier to imagine them, but I do feel like I know the best part of them as I am reading this. Omg, so many autumn coffee drinks are mentioned in this book that I’m drooling. This later-in-life autumn and holiday romance has all the seasonal vibes and beverages, so many good ways to have pumpkin spice are mentioned. I loved that the story is mature, clean, wholesome, and surprising, with the romance being very subtle. The lively, vibrant Raine and Professor Keaton make endearing opposites. This book was a sweet read with a feel-good ending.
This book is part of The Silver Falls Series but can be read as a stand-alone. Raine is a small business owner of a small-town Coffee Shop. She is a hard worker who doesn’t have time for anything else. Her small-town life has some woes, but they seem not to be the end of all her issues. I do love that she is stubborn, determined, and mature.
Keaton is a teacher at a University but is still awaiting to become a Professor. Keaton doesn’t like change; he has plans and sticks to them, even putting off his life for his career. Unfortunately, he gets suckered in by his matchmaking Aunt into helping with a small-town festival. He can’t seem to say no to family. But it is good as he arrives in the small town of Silver Falls and rediscovers himself.
This book gives a nice sneak peek into the work of putting on a small-town event. I love that this academic man gets roped in to help with a Boo Bash for the business association. I like the author isn’t adding unnecessary drama but instead focusing on tasks and details for the event and the difficulties involved.
Damn, adult problems interfere with the love and relationship budding in this small town, and Keaton must make a choice. Unfortunately, I don’t think he chooses correctly. Still, I understand his decision, and Raine, heartbroken, accepts and encourages it. Ah, Keaton finally realizes that what he wants isn’t what he needs; that was right in front of him. I love how this book ended.
