I can always count on Thee Tasha Marie to deliver a quick, fire read, and sis did NOT disappoint. Autumn & Woods gave me the insta-connection I didn’t know I needed, and I was very much fed. The chemistry? Immediate. The vibe? Vibing. The friendship dynamics, the hunching, the Thanksgiving shenanigans—she packed a full meal into a snack-sized story. Now, I’m not gonna lie… that ending had me looking around like, “Wait—THAT’S where we stopping?” But I got over it real fast because clearly I wasn’t done with this couple anyway. I’m already perched and ready for whatever comes next, because Woods and Autumn deserve more page time, and I will be seated.

Sis wrote the heck out of this book! Not only was I cackling but it was 🌶️! Autumn and Woods had such great chemistry, hell every character played their part. I’m glad Autumn was real and had a backbone, she didn’t allow others to play in her face. I’m so ready for the rest of their story.

quick and spicy

This was a quick spicy read. Autumn and Woods had me clutching my pearls. I also liked that autumn was no punk when Woods ex was acting obsessed and jealous. 4.25⭐️

“This feels… fast.”
“Nah,” he said, shaking his head slightly. “It feels real.”

Woods…
When I saw Autumn at an airport bar, something inside me knew this was different in a major way. Now that I have her in my grasp, I’m determined to make her mine.

Autumn…
What are the chances that the fine ass man I met at the airport would be my best friend’s cousin? I’m supposed to be trying to get him out of my system, but for some reason, I just can’t let go…

I love a “How Did You Get Here” love story. Neither Woods nor Autumn can fight what’s been written in destiny. The only problem with this story is that I have to wait until Christmas to get the ending.

whew 😰 child, Mr. Woods didn’t come to play!!

Heat Level: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (Full-blown Inferno)

The story follows the magnetic and complex of Autumn, a woman who knows exactly what she wants but hasn't yet found the match that can handle her fire. Enter Woods—a man who defines "tall, dark, and dangerous." From their very first encounter, the air doesn't just crackle; it combusts.

The chemistry between Autumn and Woods is visceral. This isn't just a "slow burn"—it’s a high-speed collision. Tasha Marie excels at writing tension that feels heavy on the skin, building through lingering glances and sharp, witty banter until it reaches a breaking point.

When the steam finally hits, it hits hard. The "spicy" scenes are choreographed with a mix of raw intensity and poetic intimacy. They are explicit, unapologetic, and deeply satisfying, catering to readers who want their erotica to have both heart and a very high internal temperature.

If you are looking for a romantically spice filled book by an author with a nice pen game, then this is the book/series for you. Now, go download and enjoy the ride (literally🌶️🔥🍆💦😉)

Woods’ cousin Taj was hilarious. She had me cracking up; literally laughing out loud all by myself in my bedroom. First time a book made me laugh so hard. 🤣

TheeTashaMarie is my girl but I knocked off a star because this story had a lot of errors. Also some of the slang and lingo I didn’t quite understand. Idk if it was accidentally written wrong or maybe Im just not accustomed to it. Some of the writing is just “off” in this one! There were mistakes which caused confusion on which character was speaking. However it was still a solid book that gives you the feels and I will definitely read part 2 because I like the couple and want to know how their HEA plays out! I hope 🤞🏾 book 2 has less mistakes.

A Layover

A layover due to weather for a connecting flight truly led to a connection of a lifetime. Woods was trying to get home to spend time with his family only to see a beautiful stranger in the airport. The chemistry Autumn felt was instant with Woods. An unrelenting spark that just wouldn’t dim was shared between the two. Coincidence and fate led them to each other’s orbit again on Thanksgiving. What makes this story so special is that they both fall for each other without ever stating it. The intensity Autumn & Woods have seems unique and pure. Can’t wait to read part 2.

This was a good time! Autumn and Woods had immediate chemistry and a connection that felt tangible. Although they parted ways without sharing information, thoughts of the other weighed heavily on their minds. When they see each other again they are initially shocked, and that fire that wasn't quite put out reignited big time! 😜🔥Lots of fun, laughter, and a little drama later.... Gotta wait til Christmas to see how this all unfolds.

Imagine seeing your casual airport hookup at thanksgiving dinner and then y’all become inseparable until you fly back home only to realize that this might just be your person.
I discovered Thee Tasha Marie in October and I can’t wait to go down her catalog but first I need book 2 expeditiously!

This one was cute.

Woods had a layover that kept being delayed. He was heading to his hometown to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family. He was a successful businessman so he valued any chance to have downtime.

While at the airport, he spotted the beauty that is Autumn. Autumn was chillin at the bar, also upset that she was being delayed from getting her best friend's grandmother's sweet potato pie which she had been craving for two years.

These two started talking, drinking and one thing led to another in the bathroom. Nothing beyond first names were exchanged, they said their goodbyes and they were out. Little did they know, they couldn't stop thinking about each other and regretted not exchanging contact info.

The next day they both got a surprise, Autumn was Woods' cousin's best friend and Woods was the cousin said best friend was going to try and hook her up with. The attraction between these two continued throughout the duration of Thanksgiving, including after his bitter ex arrived trying to create drama.

They spent a passion filled weekend together and continued talking and face timing weeks later once they were in their respective cities. That is until Autumn realized she'd missed her period.

A layover indeed

A layover in the best way 😝 meeting at the airport bar with undeniable chemistry led to a quickie in the bathroom.. both enjoyed with the idea of never seeing each other again.. even though they both felt connected.. however they never expected to see one another again at the family Thanksgiving.. Autumn came with her best friend Taj, who happened to be 1st cousins with Quamaine aka Woods.. the attraction and chemistry still lurked and they found a bedroom to continue at his grandma house.. then spent the rest of time in his room learning each other mentally and physically.. really feeling each other.. his ex popped up at dinner and Autumn put her in her place and had to do it again when they went out to the club.. but they still vibed and was reckless.. so much so, that Autumn has now missed a cycle with burrito cravings.. both back in their respective cities.. far from each other, but still staying in touch.. and it says to be continued for Christmas.. I enjoyed and can’t wait to see what happens next

love me a good spicy thanksgiving book

This book had me in a chokehold, the spicy was spicy-ing and the chemistry between Autumn and Woods I was here for it. This book gave you a good love story in the making. Spicy spicy scenes and good vibes. I can’t wait to read until Christmas. If Thanksgiving is the season of leftovers, let me tell you—Autumn & Woods proves some leftovers are worth heating up again and again until the plate melts.

Autumn wasn’t expecting to see Woods at her best friend’s grandma’s house. She definitely wasn’t ready to face the man who still owns her body. She thought that trip to the bathroom would be the last time she would see Woods. But when he steps back into her orbit looking good D walking.… every emotion she tried to bury starts clawing its way back up.

Woods is the kind of man who walks in smelling like danger and temptation, and Autumn is the woman who refuses to fold but absolutely wants to fold—for him, maybe one more time. Their chemistry literally simmers like a pot of collard greens on the back burner.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Heat Level: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (Let’s just say the turkey wasn’t the only thing getting basted.)
Autumn & Woods proves that sometimes, the only thing hotter than the oven on Thanksgiving… is a second chance with the one person you never stopped wanting.

Woods and Autumn met at the airport bar while waiting on their delayed flight and after a few drinks they hooked up in the airport bathroom. Leaving out the bathroom they didn’t exchange info but ended up at the same Thanksgiving dinner. It was Woods’ family and Autumn was there with her best friend Taj who she met at cosmetology school. Woods nor Autumn couldn’t forget their bathroom rendezvous and were both glad that they got to run it back. They never once used protection and Woods even got so comfortable that he stopped pulling out. Even bragged about his super sperm loading her up with twins which is a possibility since his cousins Ty and Taj are twins. Three weeks later and Autumn has been craving the same burrito for weeks after returning home. It dawned on her that she hadn’t had her cycle at the very moment Woods was calling her and the book ended on a to be continued at Christmas. I can’t wait to see what happens next with Woods, Autumn, and possible twins.

She does it again( Possible spoiler alert) When Woods and Autumn met in that airport during a delayed flight, I just KNOW the universe was playing matchmaker because whew…the chemistry? Instant. The vibe? Insane. The hookup? Gave “we’re not supposed to be doing this but we absolutely are.” 😭🔥

They walked away like strangers, only to run into each other again like fate said, “run it back.” And baby, I devoured this book in 3.5 hours. Literally could not put it down.

Only thing I’m mad at? That cliffhanger. Why would the author play in my face like that?! I’m praying I don’t have to wait until Christmas for book 2 because I need answers NOW. 😩😂. Thee Tasha Marie is gonna always give the girls exactly what the need because yet again this book reminds me to never give up hope. One day I know I’ll run into my Woods 😩🤣💯

10/10—ate it up from beginning to end. 📚💋

Thanksgiving Fling or more 👀

Short, sweet, and giving Thanksgiving fling turned holiday chaos in the best way 😂

Imagine being stuck at the airport, colliding with a fine stranger, and suddenly y’all got nothing but time… so you toot up in the air — and no, I’m not talking flights ✈️😏 Once you land, you think it’s giving “one and done”… but baby, that was just the warm-up.

The vibe was vibing so good things got a lil’ reckless… and then it got dramatic because somebody absolutely got slapped (and yes, it was deserved 💅🏾).

Autumn is “soft but solid. Gorgeous but grounded.”
Woods? A whole boss, fine, muscular, BDE, and ready to keep something sweet by his side 👀🔥

This little novella was the perfect holiday snack and the inkling we might get more for Christmas has me READY. I can’t wait to see what happens next… because baby, this ride is not done 😮‍💨🍂📚

WHEW CHILE THAT ENDING 👀👀👀

BAYBE THEE TASHA MARIE DID HER MOTHERFUDGESICKLESTIX THANG WITH THIS ONE!!! I SWEAR I WAS INVESTED FROM THEIR FIRST ENCOUNTER. I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA HAVE TO WAIT IN BOOK 2, BUT THEN I REALIZED I’M LATE TO THE PARTY🤣.

THAT DANG YOHANA🙄. SO GLAD SHE HAD FRIENDS WHO DIDN’T CONDONE HER MESSINESS.


GIVE ME WOODS ALL DAY EVERYDAY😍😜! THAT MAN RIGHT THERE🥰. HIM AND AUTUMN’S LITTLE DELAY AT THE AIRPORT TURNED INTO SO MUCH MORE. FINDING OUT THAT THE COUSIN HER BESTIE WANTED HER TO MEET WAS ACTUALLY THE MAN SHE THOUGHT SHE’D NEVER SEE AGAIN. THESE TWO WERE THE TRUE DEFINITION OF ANYTIME ANYPLACE😜. WOODS KNEW IT WAS MORE THAN JUST SEXUAL CHEMISTRY AND HE APPLIED ALL GAS NO BRAKES BEHIND AUTUMN 🥰. I JUST LOVED THEIR OPENNESS, AND THEIR BANTER. BUT THAT ENDING😳😳😳👀👀👀. I MOST DEFINITELY SAW THAT COMING🤣🤣🤣

LET’S GO BOOK2!!!

Thee Tasha Marie can do no wrong in my eyes! If I ever need a quick read that’s gonna give me the feels, a lil humor and some spice, it’s always gon be a Tasha book baby and Autumn and Woods gave me exactly that. I loved the insta-love connection between the two, the friendship between Taj and Autumn, and the whole family dynamic. That was a real black Thanksgivin’ right there lol! You gotta have a lil drama so Yohana brought that, but Autumn and Woods got her together hunty.

I kept checking that percentage trying to figure out how Tasha was gonna wrap it up that quick, but I knew I wanted more of this couple. When I say I can’t wait for Christmas, baby, I mean it. So ready to see what’s next for Autumn and Woods😝🥰

Whew, baybeeee… Autumn and Woods was that novella that wrapped itself around me like a soft holiday blanket and whispered, “Stay right here.”
This little gem served every bit of the seasonal magic my spirit craves—twinkling-light warmth, cozy-cup comfort, and storytelling that feeds ya soul!!

The journey through these pages felt like stepping into a quiet Fall Harvest evening where the characters guide you by the hand, showing you pieces of themselves that feel tender, real, and beautifully human. I devoured this read with a smile tugging at my heart the whole way through.

If you’re closing out Novella November and want something that feels like sipping cocoa by the fire while the world softens around you…..this is the one,

Go ahead and gift yourself this final little delight.

I just knew it…

That too be continued!!! Guess we’ll have a baby for Christmas from Autumn and Woods! I can’t wait for the follow up! I love how they connected at the airport bar, and then ended up running into each other again at the house for Thanksgiving. These two were meant to link and be together. Now, they are bonded forever. Wonder how they’ll continue with this long distance relationship. I was mad Yohana came to the family dinner knowing her and Woods been over, but acted petty. You see he’s moved on, even though they really had just met… she didn’t know that though lol. Woods, Taj and Ty family a mess lol. Love them all! Great read

Now this is a thanksgiving hookup!!

Both Autumn & Woods caught in a storm, having their flights delayed on their layover, decided to have a little fun to take the edge off. Little did they know they were heading to the same destination. When both of them parted ways after landing, they didn't think they would ever see each other again much less end up at the same thanksgiving dinner.

Ms Tasha Marie put her entire foot into this one. It was hot and steamy, messy, and two main characters who couldn't get enough of each other. I was laughing, gasping and kicking my feet. Woods was a mannnn okurrrr!!! And Autumn she don't play either because why did she slap that girl like that?? lmao
