Love is never easy. Especially when three hearts are involved. Jonas My heart shattered the day my best friend married her soulmate. A man I will always envy. Cora was never meant to be mine. But I never understood the reason why. Until now. Until Autumn. When I enter the tattoo shop, Autumn is the last person I expect. A woman who garners my attention. A beaming star in my dark sky. A woman who soothes my soul and glues my broken pieces back together. For the first time in years, I picture no one except Autumn in my arms. And I plan to make it a reality. Autumn My heart learned envy on my friend's wedding day. She married her soulmate, but also enraptured another man. Not getting romantically involved with anyone is my fate. The hand life dealt me. A notion I came to terms with years ago. But all that gets thrown to the wayside the day I meet him. Jonas. The night Jonas sits in my chair, I forget how to breathe. Forget how to do anything except smile. He kickstarts my heart and teaches it a new rhythm. A rhythm I memorize and play on repeat. For the first time in years, I throw all my reasons for staying single out the window. For once, I trust life has given me another chance at love. ...until the past comes knocking on my door.

After meeting Jonas in The Click duet, I just knew I had to read his story. I'm so glad I did! This story is beautiful and alluring. Pulls at your heart strings because you want the very best for Jonas. Then you meet Autumn and the same feelings apply to her. You want her happy and thriving as well. Together they could be perfection.
They both have road blocks from their past that makes things a bit bumpy. They both need to let go and soar. Jonas is the sweetest, most gentle soul. He truly loves with his whole heart. Sigh. Swoon worthy for sure. Autumn is so strong, but her heart is guarded with high walls.
This is a sweet and emotional read. I knew that my emotions would be all over the place with a book by this author. Loved it so much. I don't want to give too much away from the storyline. There are some twists that will grip your emotions though. Can't wait to finish out this duet with Love Buzz!

Read this if you're into: * Slowburn Romances * Good Boy Hero * Second Chance Romance
I'm not really into plain romances but I just got this ARC and wanted to give it shot. I thought I won't even finish but I finished it in 3 days! I have not read any other books by Persephone Autumn, and I'm not disappointed. Fine Line is about two heartbroken souls mending each other's hearts.
I don't like the cover, not this particular, just anyone with real faces. But I do have an idea for a good cover for it which I might draw and post it here sometime. Anyways, why I'm talking about the cover is because the cover gave me the vibes that Jonas might be a typical bad boy. But he's so not. He's such a damn gentleman, unlike any I've read in books. Autumn is a typical damsel though. It's not so much as a disappointment as it is a lack of appreciation for her character archetype. (Although she's a foodie and I love it!) Nevertheless, the relationship they have is pretty interesting and very beautiful.
I liked how there was no love at first sight. I loved how their conflict didn't span months and years. I enjoyed the slow-burn romance. It didn't feel forced even. I liked how they didn't jump into the bed the first thing. The romance felt so much natural, you know?
I looovvedd Jonas' family and their vibes. The book may come off a bit dark at first glance but it has much positivity. However, the same cannot be said about the next book. With the entry of you-know-who, things are gonna on high stakes reaaaalll soon. I cannot wait to find out what happens next. There are so many things we don't know about Autumn yet, I guess Love Buzz would be a hell of a ride. If this was an emotional roller-coaster, that would be an emotional rocket!
Great work, author! I have high hopes now!! ><
Anyways I guess this changes my worldview of only-romance books. I might dive into one or two here and there to take a break from my heavy fantasy dose. ;p
Also, ladies, gentlemen and middlemen, if you think Jonas is every person's dream, you haven't met my boyfriend yet! *No Romance Reviews Go Without Saying That.* (Speaking of middlemen, I didn't like that the author just assumed everyone to be straight. There were very binary details in the book. Hopefully, that would be improved in the next book.)
As much as I like the author's writing style, I don't think I would read Click Duet. Two reasons: * I don't want to read a book where someone rejects someone like Jonas. I just can't see him get hurt. * From what I read about Cora and Gavin's relationship, I wouldn't enjoy their story. It sounds very cliché. But maybe I might give it a shot someday I want to read something light.
Anyways, do give Fine Line a shot, it's worth your time. Something you can pick up during your reading slump maybe? For romance lovers, definitely pick this up. It's so much better than love-at-first-sight bleh books.
Congratulations to the author on the release of this wonderful book today. Next stop, 2021, November 9th - Love Buzz!!
Jonas is the most amazing book boyfriend!! Wowzers!! This slow-burn builds up more than just the steam! I felt a little left out not knowing much about Autumn. That cliffhanger has me assuming we are about to find out her whole back story in the next book though!!!
Jonas thought he was in love with his best friend, Cora. After she marries the love of her life, he feels lost. For how amazing he is, I don’t know why anyone hadn’t snatched him up before now anyway. As he decides to add to his tattoo collection, he never expects his whole world to feel so right when he meets Autumn.
Autumn has been through so much in her life already. With that, she is more guarded then the Queen of England, with her heart at least. When a gorgeous, all-around great guy shows up in her chair, she doesn’t know how to resist but she has more than herself to think about.
I hope to raise my boys to be like Jonas! Despite them both having bruised hearts, they learn to love again. Ends on a cliffhanger but plenty of steam to hold you over!
After meeting Jonas in the Clicked series, it's nice to see him get his own story in the Inked Duet. Jonas is a sweetheart. The gentlest of souls and the biggest of hearts. After all he's been through in the prior duet and the opening of Fine Line, you have no choice but to root for this very special man.
We are instantly rewarded when he crosses paths with Autumn, the uber-talented tattoo artist. There is instant chemistry between them but Autumn has a history of her own. One that forces her to keep her walls up and Jonas at bay, initially.
Persephone does an incredible job with this slow-burn romance. Peeling away the layers of resistance by Autumn as the characters open up to each other step by step. With a well-placed twist or two along the way, Jonas and Autumn walk that difficult trail of friends to lovers. By the time they share that first kiss you will be bouncing on your sofa and pumping your fists in the air and cheering for two special people who deserve love.
But, just when you think you can spot the HEA in the distance you remember that this is a duet. Another twist appears, one you won't see coming, that endangers everything and sets up part 2 - Love Buzz. I can't wait to see what happens.
If you're looking for a sweet slow burn with a cinnamon-roll hero, this is the book for you. While the sweet and slow burn are not my usual cup of tea, I actually enjoyed this because of the storytelling and how relatable the main and side characters are.
We first meet Jonas, pining for his best friend at her own wedding. He knows in his heart that she married her soul mate, but as he had loved her for so long, he has not quite gotten over it yet. When he goes to get more tattoo work done, he meets Autumn, the artist who is working on him, and he immediately becomes intrigued.
Autumn is not an easy nut to crack, however. She has built reinforced steel walls around her heart because of her past. Good thing Jonas is so incredibly sweet, kind, and patient - super powers that seem to penetrate the steel that guards Autumn's heart.
Jonas, Jonas, Jonas. This fictional man is too good for any world, real or fictional. He is compassionate, understanding, and caring. A man who willingly comes to family dinners and helps Mom with the cooking. He works hard in his Dad's garage and is super-close with Pops. He adores and respects his two sisters. Most importantly, he takes such great care of his puppy Spartan. He is clearly a great match to Autumn's more reserved and conservative demeanor. She is no match for his sweet displays of affection and willingness to wait until she is ready.
What I love about Autumn is her quiet resolve and unwavering loyalty to the small circle of friends she keeps. She has an introverted charm that I can relate to so much. I find her connection with her best friend Penelope so adorable. They are both clearly in sync with each other.
I enjoyed this book because it did not have that tedious back-and-forth drama. While there are points of conflict and misunderstanding between Jonas and Autumn, they approach it with maturity and grace. It was just refreshing to read that kind of realistic courtship.
** I am voluntarily reviewing an advance copy of this book. **
I'm not crying your crying! Oh what a sweet story. With the sweetest hero ever! I mean seriously he cooks, he cleans, he's responsible and kind. Then there's Autumn quirky and fun, but also a little shy and allot guarded. Mostly though she is thoughtful and caring, and fiercely protective of those she loves. The secondary characters I so loved, Jonas's family from his parents and sisters to his friends. Some you may have met like Cora, Gavin and Shelly. Then there is Autumn's tattoo shop family Penny, Rex, Reznor and Iliana. Penny is definitely my favorite she is hilarious. Then there are the show stealers Clementine and Sparty. But that's all I'm saying I loved them.💞 Things for Jonas and Autumn/Scarlet (Jonas calls her Scarlet) are going so well and right at the end prepare for Presephonie to crush your heart it's amazing. You will gasp and curse at her but don't worry she won't make us wait to long.
Having read The Click Duet earlier this year I’ve been looking so forward to picking up more of Ms.Autumn’s work! As soon as i found out about this duet i couldn’t wait to pick both books up! I got into this one as soon as i could. I enjoyed this first book!
I was so glad that Jonas was getting his own duet! Jonas and Autumn’s journey pulled me in quickly! I really liked how these two were brought together and how I wasn’t sure what all was going to happen in this first book. I loved that I felt so many things with both characters throughout reading!
With Fine Line, Ms.Autumn has created such a good read that’ll make you feel so many things! I can’t wait to get back into the Inked Duet world and find out what happens next in book two, Love Buzz! (:
*I volunteered to read and review a copy of this book from Tormented Book Promotions / the author*
This was a brilliant book. It was my first time reading anything by Persephone Autumn, but I will be looking at reading some more by her. I loved her writing style and the way she makes you feel the story, not just telling you. She’s very talented ♥️
I loved Jonas, he’s such a gentle guy and I just wanted to hug him! I was cheering him on instantly! Such a swoony guy and one I’m adding to my book boyfriend list ♥️
Autumn has been through so much and although there is instant chemistry with Jonas (that you feel jumps off the page at you!🔥) she holds him at bay as she has such high walls up (understandably!) I loved watching them go from friends to lovers, I was so happy after their first kiss I couldn’t stop smiling!♥️
Persephone is such a skilled writer, the slow burn romance really gets you invested in the story, I couldn’t put it down. I recommend this highly!📚
It was nice to see Jonas finally get his story. I’m was excited to dive into the story and Persephone did not disappoint. It was great to see Jonas’ side. At first I kind of didn’t like him when he was first introduced in the Click duet but seeing him here we get to really know Joans and I think that’s very important. He’s passionate, loving and totally book boyfriend material. He even steps into a role later in that it’s just the sweetest. And then we have Autumn, the tattoo artist. I adored her. Not only is she a strong character but she’s also loving and I don’t blame her for falling so easily for Jonas but like the click duet, trouble brews and Persephone ends the first half right when those arrive. I can’t wait for the next installment to see what happens!
Persephone is a new to me author and I absolutely love her!
Right from the Prologue, I was hooked on Jonas. He's sweet and caring. Loves his family and works with his father in the family garage. Jonas is the best friend to Cora - the girl who always kept him in the friend zone.
Autumn is sweet and kind. She's a tattoo artist who's hoping she'll find happiness with a partner one day.
When she's immediately drawn to the handsome man booking a tattoo appointment. Full of doubts and insecurities, Autumn's wary about starting something with him.
Fine Line was such a relatable & perfectly written story! I can't wait to read Love Buzz.
Fine Line is freakin amazing! Jonas is swoon worthy and Autumn is absolutely amazing! Jonas is so sweet and is patient with Autumn, which is just what she needs. I connect with Autumn because I am similar to her about wanting love but also not wanting to actually try to find it. It can be scary letting someone in but Jonas makes it worth it! Definitely a major cliffhanger but I expected that. So if you don't like cliff hangers, don't worry there is a second book. You can always wait till the second book is out and read them together. Fine Line is definitely a must read! Persephone Autumn books just keep getting better and better!
This is my first read from this author and it won't be my last!
Fine Line was a wholesome and sweet story. I fell so in love with Jonas! Watching the romance blossom between him and Autumn filled my heart with so much warmth. You'll only wish for their happy ending as you learn more about their hardships. I'm so excited to read the next book after that ending!
Sweet, fun, straight to the point. Is an amazing book with a perfect plot and surprises that will have you busy reading non stop, can't wait for the next book as the characters made me fall for them and had me in their hands the whole time. Definitely an amazing must read
This is my first book by Persephone Autumn. So this book can be read on its own but is part of the Bay Area series. Jonas and Autumn story was amazing to read. The road is bumb through their relationship and ends with us excited for the second book in this duet. I can't wait to read how they make their relationship work and get that happy ever after ending.
Such a relatable and so perfectly written story! We’ve all pined for someone who chose someone else. The person we thought was meant for us, and then the right person actually comes along and puts those feelings to shame…this story was so sweet and beautiful. A man raised to be a gentleman and takes his time wooing a woman. A woman with deep rooted issues and fears. A few surprises and a twist to make me anxious to get my hands on the next book. This is a new to me author, and I’m very excited to check out her backlist!
I had a very special spot for Jonas in the Click Duet and I was beyond thrilled to learn that he was getting his own story. I felt gutted for him in the prologue but Persephone put him back together again with Autumn. Autumn is an inspirational woman who is building a life for her and her daughter Clementine who is a real cutie! Jonas has a wonderful family that you want to be a part of and embrace Autumn and Clementine effortlessly. It is wonderful to see how all their relationships develop and grow and I was so happy for all of them. I did not see that ending coming and I can’t wait for the second book in this duet!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine Line was my first ride by talented author Persephone Autumn and it will not be the last. This duet stands alone but several of the characters are from the overarching series. This friends to lovers romance is about Jonas and Autumn. Jonas is trying to move on since his best friend, Cora, married her soulmate. When he decides it's time for another tattoo, Autumn is the very talented tattoo artist. Both are immediately drawn to each other. Their chemistry is palpable. Both have hearts that are bruised by events from their individual pasts. This was such an incredible story. I loved all of the characters, especially the ones with fur. Jonas was such a good guy. I hope with all my heart that my son grows up to be just like him. I related quite a bit to Autumn. She ferociously guards her heart. Jonas is so patient with her making this slow burn all the better. I don't want to give too much away. Just know that I highly recommend it. I plan to definitely keep up with whatever this author writes. It does have a doozy of a cliffhanger so be prepared. This is my honest opinion, freely given.
Jonas Thompson has been in love with his best friend forever...and she's marrying someone else. He needs to get on with his life. He goes for some ink and runs into Autumn the gorgeous tattoo artist.
Autumn hasn't dated in a long time. There's a reason for that. She gives Jonas a chance and she hopes that she doesn't regret it.
This was such a sweet and emotional slow-burn story. I felt so bad for Jonas and his predicament of going to the woman he loves's wedding. I didn't read The Click duet but now I am for sure. He's boyfriend material and I just loved him.
Autumn was such a strong woman. She was trying to do the best thing for her family. I loved how she was willing to open her heart after her past. Her retro ways and style were so awesome.
There's a cliffhanger at the end but thankfully we don't have to wait that long. 🖤
So this had a lot of potential. I did enjoy the writing and some of the storyline but i kept waiting for that wow moment. Autumn keeping the secret from Jonas didn't really make sense too me and it fell flat. Then we hit a plateau within the storyline were nothing was happening no drama no angst nothing. Just them being happy, even the ending which is a cliffhanger was kinda just blah.
ARC proved for free for a honest review. All opinions are my own.
After being introduced to Jonas in theClick Duetseries, I knew I had to read his story when I found out he was getting his own duet series.
The love at first sight with the slow burn build up between the two gentle and loving souls Jonas Thompson and Autumn had me falling down the rabbit hole of their love story. The way Persephone had writtenFine Linegave us a full in depth view into the blossoming relationship between Jonas and Autumn. Going from Friends to Lovers in their journey together had you seeing puppy love grow into true love. The way they took their time with each other in their budding love story, definitely had me sighing and swooning, especially with seeing the gentlemen ways of Jonas in what he did for Autumn gave you all the feels. Putting his heart and soul into giving her his all proved he was not only one of the good guys, but that he was a true pure loving gentle soul. It should be said though the story wasn’t without drama and heartbreak given the obstacles that Jonas and Autumn faced. Through that we are able to learn about them on a deeper level, given the story being told through dual POVs. Resulting in learning about their thoughts and opinions, but also their own personal lives and what they feel for each other, gave an understanding of their character on a deeper level.
My only critique was while I knew it was a slow burn and didn’t mind really mind that. The lack of pizazz needed to bring some oomph back into the story had it feeling a little too dragged out for me because of it.
Although that cliffhanger ending was partly expected, it was still somewhat surprising in a way given what was said. Safe to say Persephone Autumn has me reeling forLove Buzzto know what will happen and how it will all play out.
*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is a new to me author and I enjoyed this first book in the Inked Duet, part of the Bay Area Duet Series. This duet is a single parent, second chance romance with a little angst and a hot mechanic. Jonas and Autumn’s relationship is a slow burn as they both have issues they are dealing with but it is a very realistic progression from when they meet, to becoming friends and then lovers. Jonas is a absolute gentleman and so swoon worthy.
Love is never easy. Especially when three hearts are involved.
If ever a prologue made you fall in love with the hero then this author has done an excellent job . My heart went out to Jonas and he had my sympathy for his situation right from the start. Just like Autumn, I straight away felt such a connection to him. I couldn’t wait to find out how he was going to find the love of his life who all his friends told him was out there waiting for him.
Jonas Thompson is a sweet and caring. Loves his family and works with his father in his garage. He hasn’t dated properly for years because he has been in love with his best friend Cora. His struggle is a real one many friends go through so it was easy to emphasise with him. Jonas is overwhelmed by the instant feelings he has for Autumn.
Autumn is immediately drawn to the handsome man booking a tattoo appointment. She is very wary about starting something with Jonas especially as she not dated for years. Full of doubts and insecurities, she doesn’t want to get her hopes up when more is involved. The mystery surrounding Autumn slowly builds. We get hints at what it may be and I think you will quickly work it out. Again it is a realistic issue that many women go through as they’ve not only themselves to think about. We find out there have been problems in her past and she is not used to a man like Jonas, a good man who doesn’t take but asks.
I loved how they were both like teenagers again when getting ready for their first date. Their journey is fun and enjoyable as they slowly build up the trust needed to make their relationship work. Jonas notices that Autumn avoids talking about her past and appreciates she needs to take things at her own pace.
If you think Jonas is great, wait till you meet his husky. Spartan is soppy, adorable and brings so much entertainment to the story. He barks as if answering Jonas, like they are having a real conversation. Autumn has a great friend in Penny, who teases her about Jonas but also persuades her to take a chance, live for a change and find happiness. It was heart warming how all their friends were supportive and encouraging as they knew that the pair were having difficulty admitting their true feelings.
No good romance is without its ups and downs. Autumn’s secret leads to assumptions and misunderstandings. Jonas upset but realises she is scared and protecting the only life she’s known. It was brilliant how he asks his sisters for help to win her back and uses their excellent ideas to help him. He just won’t give her up and fights with everything he has for her. I was cheering them on but knew another twist was coming.
This does end in a predictable and to me a slightly unrealistic cliffhanger, which was a shame as I was caught up in them working everything out but as I absolutely adore Jonas, I can’t wait for the conclusion - Love Buzz. If you want to read Cora and Gavin’s story then they are the featured couple in the Click Duet - Through the Lens #1 & Time Exposure #2 plus you get more of Jonas!!

My first read by Persephone Autumn and I can't wait for the next one!!...
This is Jonas's book, (you meet him in the first Bay Area Duet but I've not read it. I don't think it's hindered my read but it would be good to know more because I love Jonas so I will probably go back and read it!) Anyway, he's recovering from a broken heart - kinda. He's been in love with Cora (from the previous duet) for 10years and he's just sat through her wedding 😔 He knows himself it wasn't meant to be but the heart wants what the heart wants....until he goes in for a new tattoo and the artist makes him lose his breath! He soon realises that what he felt for Cora wasn't real because the feelings that Autumn illicits from him are mega!!! Autumn is guarded and we soon learn that's because of her little'un. I like Autumn, she's genuine, had a hard time but she's soldiered on and made sure her little girl is happy and loved....
This is a slow burn read, majorly slow but it doesn't feel dragged out or anything. It's just a guy and a girl taking things slow. There's a child involved and I love that Jonas adores her, he's a real gent. Very sweet, very handsome and very addictive!
Really enjoyed this read and can't wait for the next one!!!!
Oh my gosh. I received an ARC for this book in exchange for an honest review. This story was so heartfelt and the characters were so lovable. I loved how there were alternating chapters between Jonas and Autumns’ perspective . It was so easy to get into their heads and hearts and understand the past pain they’ve experienced and how it makes them the people they are presently. Slowly with one another , they work on healing from their pasts and really get to know what love feels like. Because of a secret from Autumn’s past, she hasn’t dated for 7 years. Autumn is scared of how her secret will impact things with Jonas and so they take things very slow. This book is a major slow burn. The hero is probably the biggest gentleman I’ve read in a very long time . The heroine is so strong and brave , and it’s so refreshing to read that. The ending was a crazy unexpected twist , which had me dying for book 2 in this duet!! I can’t wait !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jonas is so sweet and loving he has been in love with his best friend for years and she just married the love of her life which was not Jonas. He is struggling with some deep emotions until he meets Autumn a sweet and caring tattoo artist. He feels a pull to her right away. He takes things slow. When they do finally get to have that first date things are wonderful and the chemistry between the two is magnetic but she is still holding back. He is so caring that he tells her they will take it as slow as she wants. This book is a sweet slow burn that draws you in from the beginning and keeps you intrigued until the end. They have there ups and downs and struggles due to Autumns past and her feelings are pulled in two directions but once they get there you can just feel the love. Then we get the cliff hanger and OMG can't wait for the second book.
Persephone you did it again. This book has left its mark on my book loving heart. Is a story that will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on my heart that will never fade. I absolutely love Jonas. This story It’s more than just a romance, it’s also about overcoming your problems, facing them and coming out better for it - all while finding happiness and love.
The plot is incredible. It catches your attention from the very first page and has some very surprising twists.
This is not just a love story but so much more. Their story is everything pain, heartache, love.
With beautifully written characters that perfectly develop through the storyline.
These characters completely pulled the rug out from under me and left me pining for more!!
Fine Line is a book that you must read. I fell in love with it and I will rate it with 5 bright stars.
From the moment I downloaded this story and started reading I know I was going to be hooked. What a incredible slow burn romance . Jonas is the most incredible book boyfriend . Ever since meeting him In the Click Duet his character had totally intrigued me , and I cannot express how excited I was for him to get his own story .Autumn Ana Jonas will grab onto your heart from the beginning and keep you anticipating what will happen from one moment to the next. The steamy moments, all the emotions aka angst not to mention the off the charts chemistry are only a few things that make this such a phenomenal read . I honestly adored every single minute of this amazing book
Fine Line is part 1 in Persephone Autumn’s Inked Duet. It’s a brilliantly written slow burn romance with a sweetheart of a guy and the strong amazing woman whose perfect for him.
You immediately connect and feel for Jonas right from the start. It’s no wonder Autumn is drawn to him as well. Unfortunately, love isn’t always easy and with their own baggage to sort through, Jonas and Autumn’s road is a bumpy one.
Obviously Fine Line ends in a cliffhanger, but man I can’t wait to find out what happens. Maybe Autumn’s backstory??
I had a love-hate relationship with Jonas. It wasn't until this book I really fell for him. Jonas is charming and caring and he feels so deeply. He's a guys guy but not in a crap way. He's phenomenal and wonderful. He makes you wish for a sliver of the man he is in your own real love life. I truly loved Jonas so much, I never wanted this story to end. This author keeps giving us fictional characters we're not worthy of but I'm forever grateful for the chance to experience these wonderful stories.
I love what this story is about. Two lost souls finding one another. I loved Jonas, Autumn, and Clementine. I loved the flow of this book. I loved the family dynamic. However I felt it was a little long winded for me. And that cliffhanger? I'd love to yell my two cents but I won't spoil it. Not really liking where that is going in all honesty.
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*
