Ohhhhh how I LOVED this book!!! Ms Hunter saved the best for last in the Bluebell inn series! I loved that it had romance, a murder mystery. a real Spiritual message, clean romance but romance that makes your toes tingle! And witty dialog! I also loved that we got to peek in on my previous favorite couple, Molly and Adam! I loved getting to see them as a married couple! This book was so good that I will be picking it up to re read again!

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.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the eARC

Autumn Skies is book and probably the last in the Bluebell Inn Romance series. This series is about the Bennett siblings who try to keep an inn running smoothly after the tragic death of their parents. Grace was still in high school when we first met her. In this book she has graduated high school but opted not to attend a university. Instead she sets up her own business which is Blue Ridge Outfitters. The siblings have decided to sell the inn so Grace has to find a new location for her business which is fine for her. In the meantime Levi is getting married so we get to catch up on Levi and his bride which was fun. Her sister Molly is in charge of showing the inn to potential buyers we also get to catch up on Molly and her husband Adam.

Wyatt Jenning comes and stays at the inn and he and Grace become friends. Both have baggage from the past that they must deal with and overcome. I can't tell you much more or it will spoil the story.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Bluebell Inn trilogy #3. This series is about 3 siblings who are finishing the work and dream of the parents to turn their historic home into a B&B near the Blue Ridge Mountains. The siblings have made the busines profitable and are ready to sell the inn to get on with the lives that were interrupted when their parents died.
Autumn Skies is Grace's story. With her story, a circumstance introduced as an aside in the first book, having to do with a the previous owners of the house and a murder, comes full circle. It is a sweet romance and we get to enjoy characters from the previous books in the series. There isn't so much of a mystery in this book as just a case of needing closure from the past. Both for Grace, and for the gorgeous man who checks into the inn. Grace has grown from the teen to an independent woman running a business on the side.
Although it is a Christian romance, it is not preachy in any way and is just a nice small town story whether you are religious or not.
I recieved an ARC copy of this book from Netgalley and Thomas Nelson publishing. I appreciate the opportunity to review this book for them.

Autumn Skies is a fitting conclusion to the Bluebell series. I'm sad that it's all over! I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This book tackles the issue of living with the past. I like that not everything is cut and dried as they so often are in romance novels but instead, a little more realistic picture is shown.

While you can read this book as a standalone, I feel that you will get so much more from it by buying the series and reading them in order. However, if you choose not to do that, you will still enjoy the journey. I read this book in one sitting, so beware, reading it is addictive. For that reason, I recommend it for purchase.

I was excited to read Autumn Skies as it concludes the story of the Bennett siblings of Bluebell, North Carolina. Grace is the third sibling and this story starts two years after the story of Levi Bennett. The inn is the family inherited is up and running successfully and the brother and sisters start planning what to do when it sells. Wyatt Jennings come to stay at the inn to find peace from childhood drama and Grace uses her I wilderness skills to help him.
The story of Wyatt and Grace is the perfect end to this trilogy of books and the reader will enjoy this light romance. I received a complimentary copy of Autumn Skies from NetGalley, but all opinions are my own.

It was bittersweet reading Autumn Skies. The novel was fabulous in every way, shape and form. However, it makes me sad to know this is the final book in the Bluebell series. Saying goodbye to Levi, Molly and Grace is like saying goodbye to family.
In Autumn Skies, Grace is a young, independent entrepreneur who is determined to show her meddling siblings that she is now a grown up. Wyatt is a troubled secret service agent who comes to the Bluebell Inn to get closure in the murder of his mom. Together, Grace and Wyatt work to solve this mystery all the while falling in love.
It’s a sweet love story with a twist in the mystery. This twist just adds to their love story. What a great series!!

AUTUMN SKIES is the third novel in the Bluebell Inn series by DENISE HUNTER. It can be read as a standalone, although I suggest you read the books in sequence as it is a lovely series. I really enjoy the characters and the way the author gets right into their emotions. It is a good ending to the series as we see each of the characters that we have come to know and love, ready to embrace change
Wyatt Jennings is a Secret Service agent who goes back to Bluebell to get closure about something terrible that happened when he was twelve. He finds his parents' holiday home, which is now run as an inn, and decides to stay there..
Grace Bennett, the youngest Bennett sibling and one of the inn keepers, also suffers from survivor's guilt for something that happened when she was a child of seven. Grace is determined to help Wyatt find what he is looking for, and when he does, she is afraid he will never forgive her and that their growing relationship will be short lived.
It is a story that underlines the importance of forgiving oneself and allowing the Lord to take away deep set feelings of guilt and unworthiness, leading to emotional healing.
I am not going to say any more except that it is a most enjoyable read and one I can highly recommend as a really good Christian romance novel.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Thomas Nelson. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

Autumn Skies by Denise Hunter. Third in the the Bluebell Inn Series with Grace and Wyatt's story both of whom had a traumatic event as a child. An inspirational love story told with emotional depth and a touch of humor. Family again plays a large part of the story. Heartwarming that the relationships of the three siblings all have a HEA. Will miss the visits to the Bluebell Inn.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

Denise Hunter is one of my favorite authors. I knew Autumn Skies was bound to be good. I've thoroughly enjoyed The Bluebell Inn Series. I loved both Molly and Levi's stories. I don't know why I went into the third book thinking Grace's story couldn't be as good as the first two. It didn't take long for me to realize I was completely and utterly wrong. Almost near the very beginning, I was drawn into Grace and Wyatt's story. The chemistry that Hunter created between the two main characters was one of the best I've ever read. I devoured this book quickly. I could read more books on these two characters alone. All of Denise Hunter's books are worth buying, but this is a MUST HAVE. My favorite of the series. Captivating, charming, interesting story line, page turner. What more can I say?

Thank you #NetGalley and #thomasnelsonpublishing for the free digital copy in exchange for the honest review. #AutumnSkies
