Ezra Bennett is like a drug. Autumn Green has been clean for ten long years.
But that doesn’t stop the cravings.

I got over Ezra a long time ago.

It was easy with us living two thousand miles apart. I sent him away the day I learned of Dad’s illness. I wouldn’t let my family issues stop him from getting out of this town and away from his father.

But out of the blue, he’s back, hired by my traitor friend and boss to design the bistro on our Christmas tree farm. The bistro I’ve been waiting ten long years to run.
Yep, irony has decided to punch me in the gut and laugh. Again.

My epic plan—ignore the man.
I’m trying. However, his new muscles and facial hair are stirring up feelings and making my ignoring efforts problematic.

I have to figure out how to sweep those feelings under the rug.
Because we have the same problem today that we had ten years ago.
Ezra can’t stay and I can’t leave.

Ezra:
Ten years ago I held the gold medal for kissing Autumn Green.
But that was another life. One that included an absent mother and an alcoholic father.
And of course, Autumn.

The thing is, back then, I’d take all the bad if it meant I got Autumn. I’d give up all my other dreams because she was the ultimate dream.

Until the day she tossed my heart into a food processor, chopping it into a million tiny pieces, and leaving it on her doorstep for the birds to peck at.

I’m only back in Wyoming, back in our home town because if I want to eat, I need a job. And I like eating.

So, I’ll help Autumn design her bistro for the Christmas Tree farm but that’s it.
Because I am not here for the girl.

At least that’s what I keep telling myself.

Falling for Autumn (Again) is a closed door, dual POV, laugh-out-loud romcom filled with witty banter, steamy chemistry, and heart-warming moments. It deals with matters of alcohol abuse, cancer, and loss of a parent while still being light, funny, and uplifting. And of course it is a happily-ever-after read!

Autumn and Ezra were high school sweethearts with plans to get out of their small town and go to college. The night before they are supposed to leave Autumn over hears a conversation between her parents that changes the course of her and Ezra’s lives.
🍁
Fast forward 10 years. Ezra is now back in his hometown for a job. The job just so happens to put him right in Autumns path. Forcing the two to address decade old hurts and longing.
🍁
Can the two repair what has been broken? Is their a future for both of them in their small town?

This story will make you laugh- not just laugh, but cackle out loud. Brace yourself to get misty-eyed too. You know what, just prepare yourself to feel every emotion there is.
🍁
Packed full of off the chart banter, snarky side characters, a hot headed main character, and a whole lot of depth.

Kisses only. Closed door.

Such a beautiful love story!

Jen’s books are always so fun and full of heart. This story is all of that, but it also has a serious side to it. The heaviness and the lighthearted blend together perfectly, and made for such a sweet, swoony, and touching story.

Autumn and Ezra were high school sweethearts who were planning on leaving their small town right after graduation.

When Autumn overhears some bad news, she knows she’s needed at home and can’t leave. She also knows Ezra must leave and get away from his abusive father. Knowing he won’t leave if he discovers the truth, she breaks up with him, lying about the reason, and he leaves for NYC.

Ten years later, Ezra comes back to town. He’s been hired to help design a bistro, not knowing that he’ll be working closely with Autumn on the project.

Sparks fly when Autumn and Ezra see each other again. They’re both dealing with a lot of hurt and resentment. Things change once Ezra finally uncovers the truth about what really happened a decade ago. But Autumn is determined to keep her walls up with him, knowing her heart won’t survive losing him a second time.

You can expect:
🍂 Found family
🧡 Forced proximity
🍂 Meddling Bosses
🧡 Second Chance Romance
🍂 Cinnamon roll mmc
🧡 Reverse Grumpy Sunshine
🍂 Dual POV
🧡 Character growth and healing
🍂 HEA

I adored Ezra! I loved his strength in overcoming his past, and how he viewed his father. “I’m not a product of him. I’m whoever I choose to be.” I loved how his character openly talked about going to therapy. The way he fell for Autumn, again, pursued her, and made sure she knew he was never leaving again was just the sweetest.

Autumn was prickly around Ezra, but she was a sweet, strong woman with a beautiful and caring heart. She made so many sacrifices for her loved ones, and it made me so happy when she finally let Ezra back into her heart.

Many thanks to the author for an ARC.

This book is part of the Cinnamon Rolls and Pumpkin Spice series- each book written by a different author.

Falling for Autumn (Again) is a second chance romance between high school sweethearts Autumn Green and Ezra Bennett. Once upon a time, they were graduating high school and then moving to New York together for college until Autumn learned some devastating news and just knew she couldn't leave her parents and the small town of Love, Wyoming. She also knew that Ezra HAD to get out of town and away from his alcoholic father. Instead of the truth, Autumn broke it off with him and he leaves town without her.

Ten years later, Autumn is still living in Love and Ezra is back for a job. He is very surprised to find out that Autumn neve left. He wants answers from and is determined to get them.

Honestly, at first, I didn't care too much for Autumn in the present day. She seemed overly stubborn and rude, not wanting to talk or explain anything to Ezra. But then, I saw a softer side of her and how she is protecting herself from all the tragedy he has been dealt and is still dealing with.

Though this deals with some serious issues there are lighter moments. Overall, this is a sweet romance.

Thank you to the author for an advanced readers copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It’s not often that I see prologues in books, but this one packed a punch!  The way the prologue began and where it landed are on opposite ends of the emotional spectrum, but it’s a great launching point for where the first chapter begins!

If you hadn’t seen your high school sweetheart since you broke their heart, it would most definitely be awkward seeing them again after ten years!  Autumn sent Ezra away for his own good, but all he knew was she went from ready to run, then flip to ready to stay all within a matter of hours.  Now, one of her dreams (even if slightly downscaled) is about to come true and Ezra happened to turn up again.  Monkey wrench or helping hand, Autumn seems to not know how to feel about his reappearance.

Ezra being sent on his way to fulfill his dreams alone wasn’t part of the plan.  Fast forward ten years, being unemployed and the only one hiring is someone from the hometown, he did his best to forget, is anything but thrilling!  To make matters more complicated for him, the girl who sent him packing, didn’t leave town like she longed to do!  Now these two must figure out how to compartmentalize their past to get through their circumstances in the present! 

Jen Atkinson knows how to hook you in and keep you dangling on the line until the very last word!  She also incorporated flashbacks to help aid the reader in understanding the past that the protags shared!  There is even a cameo from her summer novella and that adds some awkwardness at the reunion of our main characters!  While this book deals some on hard situations, I love that Jen handles it with the right amount of tact!  This is what makes her one of the greats!  I would say this book is all that and a squirrel’s hoard of acorns, but there are no squirrels in this book!

“I loved you then and I love you now. I love how time has treated you, and changed you.”

~Falling tor Autumn (Again) is a second chance romance between high school sweethearts Autumn Green and Ezra Bennett. Once upon a time, they were graduating high school and then moving to New York together for college until Autumn learned some devastating news and just knew she couldn’t leave her parents and the small town of Love, Wyoming. She also knew that Ezra HAD to get out of town and away from his alcoholic father. Instead of the truth, Autumn broke it off with him and he leaves town without her. Ten years later, Autumn is still living in Love and Ezra is back for a job. He is very surprised to find out that Autumn neve left. He wants answers from and is determined to get them…

“I’m happy to spend the rest of my life learning. I will fall for you again and again and again. Over and over.”

-This story has dear and tender characters who go through real life heartache and pain, but also so much love. It is filled with forced proximity, second chances, grumpy/sunshine characters, meddling friends, dual pov, fun banter, crackling chemistry, swoony moments, found family, a Christmas tree farm, fall vibes, deep character growth and healing, and a satisfying happily ever after! It’s a story where love plays such a guiding force, as this story deals with some serious and deep issues and lighter moments.

“I’m here to stay. Through the good and the bad. I love you.”

What I enjoyed most of all about this story was watching dear characters navigate through the variety of emotions and piece together the past, so that there just may be another chance at their future waiting for them! It’s a heartwarming-heart-wrenching tale worth the read! 🙌🏻📚❤️

“I can promise you that I’m all in. That I’m here for you.”

-Content: matters of alcohol abuse, cancer, and loss of a parent, coping strategies.

“You’ve always belonged with me and me with you.”

This is a dual pov, clean romance. It is part of the Cinnamon Rolls and Pumpkin Spice Series but also has ties to “Her Runaway Vacay”. I believe this story can easily be read as a stand alone.

Once again Jen has hit is out of the park with her newest story. I absolutely love second chance stories and you can’t help but fall in love with these two. The flashbacks to their first love and witnessing how they grow back together in present time is truly a work of art. The story flows in an easy way. Not only is this a romance but you will have quite a few sweet moments and laugh out loud moments. The transition of Autumn is the biggest change we see. She is very prickly and needs to find who she is again to truly live her life. She put it on hold for years and I enjoyed seeing her find herself again even if it was Ezra and Meg who had to coach her along a bit. I also love Ezra’s redemption story, as much as my heart hurt for him; I’m glad he has found who he is as an individual and not being defined by his family.

Awww!! This book is absolutely adorable! I was hooked from the first page and didn’t want to stop reading!

Autumn and Ezra were high school sweethearts determined to leave their small hometown of Love, Wyoming for bigger and better things. Bit, when Autumn overhears her parents discussing health concerns with her father; she know she can’t leave. So, she sends Ezra off by himself with a broken heart and stays home to help her family.

Now, it’s 10 years later and Ezra is back in town for a job offer he got from his former bosses Don and Dessie. Little does he know, Autumn is still in Love working on the Christmas Tree Farm they worked at as teens. With the help of some forced proximity, some meddling, and some feelings that have never died, these two just might get a second chance at love!

I loved Ezra so much! He was so sweet and had overcome so much childhood trauma! He was amazing in every way and I loved how patient he was with Autumn and how determined he was to help her see his feelings for her and that the belong together.

Autumn was sweet and spunky and a little bit hard headed! I loved how she took care of everyone else before thinking about herself. But, I also wanted her to fall at Ezra’s feet the minute he was back in town! Haha! However, her resistance made I some great flirty moments, fun banter, and crackling chemistry!!

This is the perfect fall book! Can’t wait to read more in the series!!

I really enjoyed this book and getting to know Ezra and Autumn. I love how Fiercely protective Autumn was over Ezra especially with how difficult it was for him growing up with an abusive alcoholic father who was really never there for him. I loved seeing when Ezra came back to town after so many years how he kept showing Autumn how much he still loved her and wasn’t going anywhere this time no matter how stubborn she was and how much she tried to push him away.

I loved how he helped Autumn’s mom after she became a recluse when her father died. He really just kept showing Autumn how much he loved her and never stopped loving her in so many little ways. This book does deal quite a bit with grief and it did have me crying a lot but I think that just goes to show how accurate Jen portrays that grief and how it’s different for each individual person. It literally had me sobbing at the part where Ezra visits Autumn’s father’s grave and how he talks about him being a father figure for him and how much he love and respected him! This was such a good book a bit heavier but still with those light hearted moments that make you laugh.

I can't say anything about this book except its absolutely brilliant, once you start you just get hooked. Autumn and Ezra graduate school and are set to move to NYC for college except nothing every turns out how it's supposed too. Autumn stays in Love Wyomin while Ezra follows his dream alone. Now ten years later Ezra is back in the town he swore he'd never return too, but he needs the work. Can he just keep his head down draw up plans and leave, she won't be here anymore anyway. Again fate has other ideas. This is a story with many different incidents and encounters from side spliting laughter to tears of sorrow. But can the hidden truth finally come out. Can Ezra forgive Autumn. Can Autumn finally accept and enjoy her dream. Or will Ezra be able to stay in a town that his dad still lives in. Everything about this story is addictive you just need one more chapter or one more page. The there's Dessie and Don who bring it together as only small towns can. I think we all need a Dessie on our side. If you can't tell already I can't recommend this story enough and Ezra is just the perfect bbf. 💖📖💖

I thoroughly enjoyed Falling For Autumn (again) and it had me invested in it from the prologue. Autumn and Ezra’s story was a joy to read and it took me on a wave of emotions. I loved the flashback chapters learning about their history and their journey to their present circumstances. This book is part of the multi author Cinnamon Rolls and Pumpkin Spice series and there is no order in reading them. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and oh Ezra was perfect especially with what he does for Autumn’s mum. I would highly recommend this one. I received a complementary copy from the author.

Pairs will with a pumpkin macchiato ☕️

this book was delightful! I was captivated every second of reading it, and it was easy to fly through the pages!

Ezra was a supreme cinnamon roll! And, I actually ate a cinnamon roll while eating this book now that I think about it. 🫣😂 Honestly, he was the sweetest. And I loved him. Autumn. That sweet girl. I was rooting for her and that she would find her happy! Absolutely loved the appearance of Meg Miller!

This book is perfect if you love:
🍁 Fall setting
🍁 Close door romance
🍁Second chance romance
🍁 Small towns
🍁 Meddlesome elderly characters
🍁Some depth/grief in the main characters’ backstories
🍁a book that can be read in one setting

Thank you for trusting me with a copy of your book, Jen! I am honored to have gotten to read this eARC!

What a sweet second chance story! It was hard to see how angry Autumn was toward Ezra for the first portion of the story. Even though she was the one to break his heart and send him away, her decision ten years earlier also broke her own heart. Her resentment built over all of those years and bubbled over upon his return.

Ezra didn't understand why she was so angry with him at first. And he quickly realized that he had never stopped loving Autumn. I loved the way he fought for her and all of the ways he worked to show her that he cared and was all in for her.

There were plenty of fun moments to balance out the sad and difficult times. And there were also lots of wonderfully swoony moments as these two began to realize that they were both still completely in love with each other.

I listened to the audio book and thoroughly enjoyed the dual narration.

Falling for Autumn (Again) is the second book in the Cinnamon Rolls and Pumpkin Spice series. This is a multi-author series, with all books being able to be enjoyed in any order or as standalones.

If you're looking for a beautiful fall read that is equal parts emotional and laugh out loud funny... this one is IT! Autumn and Ezra were high school sweethearts with big plans to leave town and his abusive alcoholic father to make their dreams come true after graduation. But when she learns that her father has been diagnosed with cancer, she sends him away on his own. Ten years later, he returns to town and all those feelings start to resurface. I have always loved a good second chance romance and this one was absolute perfection. They had such a beautiful relationship with such amazing chemistry... and also really valid reasons for things not working out back then. Seeing all that they had been through in those years and the growth made me root for them to finally get their much deserved happily ever after. I loved that the story was very pro therapy as well. While it deals with some pretty heavy topics, it was perfectly blended with those laugh out loud moments that kept it feeling lighter and fun overall. I absolutely adored it!

Falling for Autumn (Again) is a closed-door romance with sizzling kisses only.

“I’m still stirring all the minty mentos into my Autumn Diet Coke, waiting for her truth to pop.”

One thing I love about a good fiction is when my emotions run high and I become very passionate about the characters and situations. I felt sooo much with this book. Autumn and Ezra were high school sweethearts with big plans and when an unpleasant and unexpected event catches Autumn off guard, she tosses their plans into the wind without any explanation.

Ezra has risen from the tumultuous ashes of a terrible homelife to become the most amazing man to walk the streets of small town Love and I just couldn’t understand–HOW could Autumn watch him go? I spent a good chunk of the book so angry at her, yet Ezra is so compassionate, forgiving and still so in love with her, and a beautiful story unfolded to reveal just how amazing he is. It warmed and thawed my vexed heart and I found myself cheering this dynamic couple on.

As expected, Jen Atkinson writes a tale with delectable banter and wit and laced with the swooniest moments. I found myself deeply invested and my heart was pricked with all the feelings. This is a sweet story that will warm anyone’s autumn day.

Content: off-page parental alcoholic/neglect/death; mild, swoony romance

This is the second book in the Cinnamon Rolls and Pumpkin Spice Rom-Com Series but it can be read as a stand-alone. It is a second chance romance trope. Fun fact is some of the characters in this book are in a previous book by this author (Her Runaway Vacay). I absolutely loved this book and read it so quickly that I was sad it was over when I was done. The main characters are Ezra and Autumn who were high school sweethearts. Circumstances forced them apart and they are now being forced together for the first time in a decade in their hometown of Love, Wyoming. Lots of funny events and banter occur between these two plus the author tackles some heavy topics of parental death and parental abuse (all off page) in this book. I appreciate the mix of romance, comedy but also showing that the characters have depth and have real feelings. Both characters have to handle very real situations in order to make it to a HEA. Overall this book made me laugh out loud, scream at the book and cry at certain times but it was such a rewarding read that I would totally read over and over.

Did I start this and finish it in one day? Absolutely!! I couldn’t end the day without getting a HEA. This truly is the perfect fall Rom Com that gives just a hint of Christmas coming with the setting of a Christmas Tree Farm.

Autumn and Ezra were high school sweethearts and due to family/life issues they went their separate ways. But there is a second chance at love for this cinnamon roll man and a loyal, loving but stubborn woman.

Their love story has all the swoon, chemistry, sweet kisses, and witty banter with some real life issue thrown in as well.

I don’t understand why Autumn is the one that broke up with Ezra, changed all their plans and ghosted him with no explanation after two years of dating, but she’s the one that is angry and rude? She stomps around and shoves him and yells at him when he returns to town because…??? I guess the book tries to explain this away by saying she was upset he returned after she “let him go for his own good” but all she did was gaslight him. Sure she had her reasons for staying and telling him to leave, but there was just no good reason for the way she raged and treated Ezra terribly for the majority of the book. She crushed him and still he managed to be patient and kind with her. I just really didn’t like Autumn. I did feel bad about everything she had to deal with in her life, but taking it out on someone else, especially someone you claim to love, isn’t okay.

ARC Review⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another fabulous book that has it all. A multi-author series, laugh out loud fun, rom-com adventure and more can be found in the pages of this fall favorite. If you want a cute seasonal and easy to read book, this is the one! It is also part of the cutest series called the Cinnamon Rolls and Pumpkin Spice series. Which is a multi author series of standalone books.

Here we meet former high school sweethearts Autumn and Ezra 10 years later. Ezra makes his way back their small town and sparks fly when they are reunited. Both characters are dealing with lots of hurt and resentment and are working through that. Autumn is prickly and guarded and Ezra is open and warm. I loved seeing the changes Autumn goes through and it was just overall a cute and sweet romance. I would recommend this book!

Read if you enjoy:
🧡 Second chance
💛 Fall vibes
❤️ Christmas tree farm
🧡 Forced proximity
💛 Grief and growth
❤️ High school sweethearts

🧡 Quotes:
"I loved you then and I love you now. I love how time has treated you, and changed you."

"I'm happy to spend the rest of my life learning. I will fall for you again and again and again. Over and over."

“I am wrapped around that man like a pregnant woman wraps herself around a body pillow.”

❤️ Thank you to the author Jen Atkinson for the advanced electronic copy of the book!

“I’m cool as a cucumber Ezra…because the cooler I am, the more she seethes. I’m not sure why it’s suddenly my mission in life to make Autumn seethe. But then, maybe she’ll finally get upset enough to actually tell me the truth.”

This story is so much fun! It’s such an interesting twist— the frenemies to lovers of second chances, if you will.

I love how this book is light-hearted and full of laughs, yet acknowledges and addresses harder topics. It leaves you feeling happy and cheering for the main couple.

I adored Ezra and his tactics to win Autumn over again. Seriously, so good!

I just adore Jen Atkinson's books! Falling for Autumn (Again) takes place 10 years after high school sweethearts Autumn and Ezra break up before college. Autumn is the manager of a Christmas tree farm and Ezra is an architect now. Being hired to build a bistro for the Farm, Ezra and Autumn may be being set up by the Christmas Tree farm owners. Can they speak long enough without fighting, to sort out what truths ended their relationship?

Ezra is your next book boyfriend. He never gave up on his feelings and the sweet little things he does to prove to her he's not leaving, again, have you yelling at Autumn to notice lol.

Autumn has a lot of pain from different sources, one being herself. You 100% understand why she did that she did but you want her to realize that was 10 years ago.

The banter is fun, Autumn is amusing haha. And I LOVED seeing Meg from one of Jen's other books. Also, while part of the Pumpkin Spice series, I love the Christmas tree farm location! Overall, very cute!

I rarely rarely give up on a cheesy romance novel but I just can’t finish this one. I am half way through and the nothing has happened. All we need is for 2 people to have a conversation. If Autumn wasn’t such an annoying character and would just tell Ezra what happened we could all go home. It was ten freaking years ago. That’s a long long time to be holding on to the same emotions and seems unrealistic to me. It’s just too annoying. I’m also tired of authors writing these perfect guys who are head over heels for the most difficult, annoying women. Why can’t we make both characters flawed humans who are decent?

Also, what kind of name is Bre? I assume it’s pronounced like “Bree” but I said “Breh” in my head out of spite.

Summary🍂🌻🧡:
“Yes, Autumn sent me away, broke my heart, and confused the heck out of me. But she also has a secret to tell. A reason I’m not aware of.”Autumn Green had big dreams of moving to New York with her boyfriend, Ezra Bennett, after graduating high school to pursue their dreams. However, on their last night in Love, Wyoming, Autumn overhears her parents discussing her father’s illness. Realizing she needs to stay and support her family, she makes the difficult decision to convince Ezra to leave town without her and away from his abusive father. Ten years later, after cutting all contact with him, Ezra returns to Love to help build The Bistro at the Christmas Tree farm, reopening old wounds and memories. With her friend/boss meddling into their relationship, can Autumn let go of the anger? Will Ezra ever find out the real reason Autumn broke his heart? Read to find out!

This book is a cozy, fall romcom. It follows the story of Autumn and Ezra, high school sweethearts that were reunited 10 years later after going their separate ways. Autumn is always saving everyone around her, she is thoughtful, stubborn and a passionate girl. She tries to protect her heart by being grumpy and pushing away the love of her life. Ezra is a man that never gives up and fights for what he wants! This is my second read from Jen and again she didn’t disappoint at all, with the funny moments, healing journey and making the characters relatable! This is a must read for the fall!

Many thanks to Jen for providing me the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Once again my heart is overflowing with happiness and love for two phenomenal characters. Jen Atkinson has done it again and continues to write stories that will live rent free in my mind for eternity.
Ezra and Autumn are the definition of second chance romance. Both of their lives were anything but easy growing up. But love is powerful and conquers all.
Having flashbacks throughout the book helps us, the readers, learn more about the characters and grow a better understanding of how they are. Besides Ezra and Autumn we meet Don and Dessie who are the sweetest older couple ever! Plus Meg from Jen's previous book HER RUNAWAY VACAY makes an appearance and I'm all here for it.
This book has it all! The cozy fall time setting, the perfect guy, romance, mentions of delicious sounding food, and an ending to make you swoon. This is a closed door romance, so when I say romance it's more the verbal kind. It's sweet and sensitive, the kind that gives you all the feels. Along with sweetness there are plenty of moments that made me laugh out loud. It doesn't start out with rainbows and roses but rain showers and thorns. You have to make it through the bad to get to the good.
