I really liked Jenna and Ethan's story it was a pretty emotional read in places. Jenna is doing up her families house hoping to open up a bed and breakfast. Ethan is staying next door and I have to admit there was nothing to like about him early on he was really bitter. I really liked watching their friendship grow and as he helped her you start to get to know the real Ethan. This was a really good story and I would recommend it.

Reminds me of a good Nicholas Sparks book. A plot twist you don't see coming, mixed with the perfect happy ending.

This was the first book by Beth Rinyu that I've read. When Autumn Ends by Beth Rinyu is lovely romance story about two people dealing with their past and present. The story has a few twists that were unique and kept you on your toes. I thought the writing in this book was really nice and made me not want to put it down. Everything that happened within the story seemed to flow nicely and there wasn’t anything that I thought needed to be taken away. I do have to say the plot is a little cliche and predictable, in parts, but I think that is to be expected from this type of book, as there is only so much you can do.

I would recommend this book to anyone for likes an unconventional romance story about two people who aren’t perfect.

*NOTE there are moments of abuse within the story but they are handled correctly and not made to be a good thing. Also, if you aren't a fan of graphic romance stories you will enjoy this book as everything is tastefully written about without being graphic.

The cover, although beautiful, had me on the fence for this book. I'm just not a fan of gray. What sold me on this book was the description. One of the best descriptions I've ever read, and I had to know what happened. 

When Autumn Ends is a heartwarming story of perseverance and resiliency. I have to be honest, it's not like anything I've read before. Which is a good thing because I'm sure we're all tired of reading the same thing over and over again.

In the beginning we meet Ethan who is broody and standoffish and Jenna who is feeling overwhelmed and isolated. Jenna is engaged to someone else at the start of the book which usually bothers me however, Ms. Rinyu handled the situation tactfully. I  even hoped for the end of her initial relationship, something that never happens. It was clear he was not the right man for Jenna and there was no infidelity over the course of this book. I fell in love with Jenna right away, he character was relatable and well developed. 

Ethan was a little harder to love. He was closed off and sometimes downright rude. But when he let Jenna in and I saw the man behind the mask, I fell for him hard and fast. Deep down he's a man who has been hurt in unimaginable ways. He's shut himself down as a means of self preservation and it's amazing to watch him open up and live again. That's always my favorite part of romance novels - when the characters stop fighting, realize they love each other and embrace the future together. 

Sounds like a wonderful story, doesn't it? I know it does. But that's not what made this a 5 star read for me. The reason it has 5 stars is that there's a twist towards the end. A twist I didn't see coming, at all. That twist took the book from good to extraordinary. I think everyone should read the book just to find out what it was. 

Overall, When Autumn Ends is a sweet, wholesome read that is sure to leave you with a smile on your face. I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a feel good book to cuddle up with over the weekend.
