58 Miles: North Like Hell
Captain Arthur Rostron-
I am the captain of the RMS Carpathia, you know my name, my ship, but you do not know my story...
An SOS went out into the night - We heard you from fifty-eight miles away.
The day the unsinkable ship whispered into the night - Save our souls. I went down in history for defying God and braving the ocean when it demanded payment in the form of souls.
Even the devil feared the burn of my engine for I would fight him in hell itself if it meant the captain didn’t go down with his ship.
Captain Edward Smith-
I was born to make history- I am the captain of the ship that could not sink.
What a laughable thought now.
For everyone knows my name, knows my fate, but none were privy to my heart.
Fifty-eight miles and a fight against time- but a captain always goes down with his ship.

Imagine this scene in the Titanic Movie.... but the captain was so very excited to return home to the arms of his male lover.
To make it worse, his lover is captain of the Carparthia, who was in the area rushing to rescue the titanic 😭
Did this movie emotionally ruin anyone else when they were like 10? 😂
Impressive for a lil novella with no HEA.
It was interesting getting the Captains wife POV, she knew she'd lost her husband well before the disaster.
It was a really different take on a queer titanic retelling.

I don’t know why, because I was like 7 years old, but when the Titanic movie came out, I went to see it 5 times at the movies. So to say I was obsessed is an understatement. That movie, and let’s be honest, young Leo marked me, and ever since I’ve been low-key into the whole Titanic story. So when I came across this book by chance, I just knew I had to pick it up. It didn’t matter that it obviously didn’t have a HEA; I just knew I had to read it.
It was absolutely heartbreaking and beautiful, the pining and yearning 😭❤️ it almost made me cry in the library, wouldn’t change a thing though.

Arthur (captain of the RMS Carpathia) and Edward (captain of the Titanic), both men of power and wealth, married with children, are in love and having an affair for years in secret.
This story is equally beautiful and heartbreaking😩 Despite the short length of the story (~123 pages), it is but filled with these two men yearning and longing for each other🥺 These two men that love each other against all odds. A love that is a secret from a judging society ; a love that is build on stolen moments. A love that is hidden from the world but also bigger than the whole world💔
We get to experience their stolen moments and their love throughout their letters to each other, and still feeling their love in the present moments while they are apart. A love that you can feel from the very first page and until the last page.
It is such a raw and emotional story😭💔
"I would crawl to you. I would walk across the bottom of the ocean floor until my lungs give out. I would give up my vessel, my name, and my honor if that is what it takes for you to accept the fact that I am undeniably in love with you."
"If this is my punishment for loving you, then I take it with pride. Shoulders held high, and my love for you overflowing as the water around me fills the ship.
I love you until my last breath,
-E"
"The hurt that started within my chest seeps deeper than anything I have ever felt before; even my bones ache and scream. Every muscle twitches, preparing to run to him, to swim down to the ocean’s floor and wrap myself in his grasp. I would rather die than be damned to live this life without him."
"Why did you not wait for me? I begged you to wait for me! Fuck, Edward, why didn’t you just hold on? I was coming; we were coming for you."
"Eternity will always be Edwards."

Reading this brought me right back to the days of watching the Titanic. It was a great retelling of this story and I enjoyed it for what it was. It was short, sweet and heartbreaking. Since this was a short read I didn’t get the chance to connect well with the characters; therefore, it didn’t affect me the way I hoped. Still good nonetheless.

Autumn has ripped my heart out again, and again I find myself thanking her for yet another emotionally devastating read.
MM Titanic retelling, this is a romantic tragedy with no HEA. The amount of yearning in this book is absolutely next level, the letters literally tugged at my soul. This is tragically beautiful, since it’s a novella I will not say more. If you want emotional devastation, yearning, and a tragic love story this is for you!

I think i have cried all the water from my body!
We know the tragic story of the Titanic, and going into it i knew how the book was going to end - by MY GOD!! This was something else!!
An absolutely beautiful forbidden love story between two captains and the 58 Miles between them on that final night.
This book emotionally WRECKED me, not only because I know the story of the Titanic and how that story ends. But I fell absolutely in love with Edward and Arthur! Their love for each other is unmatched! The longing and yearning and pure devotion they have for each other that they poured into each other was absolutely STUNNING!
The LOVE they had for each other and for a life where they didn't have to hide in the shadows and steal rare moments at port every once in a while - eugh! My heart could not cope!
The flashbacks to the times when they were together were perfect, their letters to each other over the years - BEAUTIFUL, and those final 58 miles between them - utterly heartbreaking.
Both of their POV's tore my heart open and even though I knew how this would end, I will forever want so much more for them and want them to have the life they both dreamed of.
I'm going to go eat chocolate and stare at a wall.

ARC REVIEW
Autumn does it again. I absolutely love the way she preserves the historical writing style while weaving in her own creativity to breathe new life into such a tragic, haunting story. The emotions feel so real and raw that you’re completely transported back 114 years—right alongside those aboard both the Carpathia and the Titanic.

I was so excited to read this novella but..it just didn't do much for me. The forbidden love was a nice trope to read about. However, nothing was a surprise, I literally felt like I was just watching the Titanic movie again but instead its a book. I will say the yearning love between the two main characters was tragically beautiful. And maybe this book is too short for it to be more but I just felt like I knew what was going to happen next and there were no surprises. I just wish the original story was twisted a little more to make it feel like I wasn't just hearing the same story again.

Was not expecting to be sobbing my eyes out over a book that was only 124 pages but oh my gosh it happened. Beautifully tragic. 😭😭😭
July 14, 2026
This was sad but predictable so I think that affected my lack of response to it. I also think it could've done without the smut and still had the same emotional impact and yearning I was looking for.

“Mother Nature is simply reminding us that we sail upon her seas, and this is her territory.”
The RMS Titanic, a sinkable ship after all.
This is a historical romance retelling centered on the tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic and the rescue mission of the RMS Carpathia. A doomed love story with Captain Rostron racing through the night to save the Titanic while Captain Smith faces the fate of his ship.
I’m usually not a fan of historical romance but I do love Titanic. I think I saw that movie in theaters like 7 times when it came out & I was only like 11. So reading this takes you back a little bit to the movie & remembering some of the things that happened. The iceberg hit. The ship breaking in two. The passengers trying to get to lifeboats. Women and children only which I personally always thought that was crazy. Back in those days I’m pretty sure the men were pretty much the ones providing for their families. What would the women and children do without them is what I always thought.
It was an intense & emotional story for sure. I enjoyed it. It was very well written & it was a quick read. Autumn has a talent for writing that’s for sure. Her ability to take a well-known historical tragedy and make it feel intimate, emotional, and alive. I knew the fate of the Titanic before I ever opened this book, but somehow, Autumn still made me feel the tension, the desperation, the heartbreak, and the hope as though I were experiencing it all for the first time. Great read.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I really did this to myself, I went into this novella expecting a HEA, (yea, sue me, I thought, MAYBE, there was going to be a different outcome) instead I got heartbreak, yearning and now I’m emotionally wrecked. Even from the author’s note, right down to the venom the wife spewed (and honestly, she had every right), you could feel everything building toward that devastating ending… & it hit so HARD. This story was absolutely BEAUTIFUL, but it left me completely distraught. Like full-on sobbing, eyes-burning kind of crying.
Edward and Arthur??? The yearning??? I’m unwell. We experience their romance through letters and memories of their time together, but never once getting a single moment of them together in the present, and that completely gutted me. All they wanted was the chance to love each other openly… and the way that was taken from them? I’ll never recover.
This is a retelling of the Carpathia & the events of the Titanic, centering on a forbidden romance between Edward, the captain of the Titanic, and Arthur, the captain of the Carpathia. The story moves through before, during, & after that tragic night, and the way the author weaves real historical events with romance, devastation, and grief is incredibly well done. It’s tender, haunting, and beautifully written.
For such a short book, it delivers the most intense emotional punch. The romance, the angst, & that inevitable heartbreak? Ugh, so well done.
Anyway… I’ll just be here crying forever.

I don’t even know how to properly put into words what 58 Miles: North Like Hell just did to me.
This book didn’t just break my heart. It owned it completely. From start to finish, I felt like I was holding my breath, watching something beautiful and devastating unfold at the same time. The tension, the longing, the ache of it all never lets up.
The characters feel so real it is almost uncomfortable. The kind of real where you do not just read their story, you carry it. Every decision, every moment of hope, every second ticking against them hits you right in the chest.
And the love. God. It is not soft or easy. It is desperate and consuming. The kind that makes you question how far you would go if you were in their place.
This story is raw, emotional, and honestly a little brutal in the best way. It stays with you long after the last page. I am still thinking about it. Still feeling it.
Five stars is not enough. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a MM Romance novella with no HEA (I don't know why I was expecting different but I was nonetheless). Make sure to check the trigger warnings prior to reading!
This was my first historical romance and it did not disappoint! Needless to say, this was an emotional roller coaster that left my heart hurting... and I'd gladly do it again. The amount of emotion that was poured into this really made you experience it all with the characters: the yearning, the hidden/secret love, the grief, the betrayal (justified IMO), and every other emotion in between. The writing itself was very poetic and enjoyable. I really liked that the author did extra research and consults to get the tone and colloquialisms to match the setting.
Very well done - 5/5 for me! (I wish it were longer but honestly idk if my heart could take it being any longer).
Tropes:
-Forbidden love
-Race against time
-MMCs yearning
-MM romance
-Titanic x RMS Carpathia retelling
-Romantic Tragedy

58 Miles: North Like Hell was the epitome of emotionally devastating to me (I LOVED EVERY MINUTE) I felt every gut wrenching turn like It was happening to myself the terror that filled even the background chacters shook me to my core. I fell in love with A and E! I even resonated with Ethel understanding her turmoil and finding myself wishing I could ease her confusion, anger, sadness; but also looking at the situation in despair as A & E had no other choice making the best out of what they were given in the unforgiving world they lived in back then.
58 miles: North Like Hell a beautifully written quick read with a HELL of an IMPACT! I highly recommend you experience it for yourself! 10 STARS 🌟 🤩

I don't even know where to start, other than to say that this book RIPPED me apart.
The emotion I felt when reading this was absolutely insane. The love between Arthur and Edward is so pure and beautiful, and as much as I knew how it was going to end, I held onto every shred of hope that it wouldn't end that way!
Autumn is an incredible author, she puts her heart and soul into everything she writes. I know if I read a book by Autumn, i'm going to end up with my heart broken but in the best possible way.
This is a must read for those who love an emotional, heartbreaking read

An incredibly well written MM romance during a time when such relationships were forbidden. Although we know the fate of the Titanic, this love story between it's captain, Edward and the captain of the Carpathia, Arthur, gives you that glimmer of hope that all will be well. Autumn has done an amazing job of bringing these characters to life and giving us the experience of their forbidden love and the ultimate pain of loss. Then there is Ethel, a woman who supports her husband, Arthur through his grief.
A beautifully painful experience of love and loss.

I think no matter what Autumn writes it’s going to split my heart in half. Ethel the wife of Arthur; the hurt she had in the beginning knowing her husband was in love with somebody else let alone a man but the ending of the book 😩😭 I have no words except grab a box of tissues while you read about Captain Edward Smith and Captain Arthur Rastron. You can feel the love between Edward and Arthur through there letters and the flashbacks with each other. Everything is real, raw, and emotional.
“Eternity will always be Edwards”.

This book reached into my chest, yanked my 💔 out, pulverized it, and then set it on fire. I absolutely loved it but I was actually SOBBING for like 90% of it. I guess I was expecting a HEA and it never came. The letters between Edward and Arthur starting each chapter were excruciatingly heartfelt and made everything happening in the story hurt even more. Arthur’s reaction when they got to the shipwreck 😭😭😭😭😭 I fear I will never recover from this. I’m crying right now. This was beautiful and breathtakingly tragic.

First of all, thank you for the ARC.
I enjoyed the idea behind this story; I’m a lover of MM romance. I don’t know if it was the letters going back and forth (bouncing back and forth with the dates) or the writing style with this story in particular, but this was a letdown. And the cheating… I mean, I understand why it was “necessary”, I guess, but that was a turn off. Overall, it was fine. I teared up at the parts you would expect during this story, but I overall feel underwhelmed unfortunately.

I knew the heartbreak was coming but it didn’t make it hurt any less. This is not a HEA. This is a romantic tragedy packed with a forbidden love that made my heart ache. The passion and deep yearning between Edward and Arthur was evident between the letters shared throughout the book. I've always been fascinated with the story of the Titanic, so to have that as the backdrop for this love story added so many other emotions. This was a short read but its still gonna leave you clutching your chest and longing for what could have been.

Brilliant to release on the anniversary of the sinking of the titanic
Grab your Kleenex because Autumn is taking us on an emotional journey.
Autumn is absolutely amazing writer. She has this magnificent way to pull you into the story from the first page.
I felt every word.
As though I was standing in captain Edward’s office writing those wonderful words to Arthur that he would never see. 🥲
I also love the font change, reading the actual letters the captains wrote to one another. Brilliant touch.
Looking forward to the what Autumn has in store for us next.

Autumn is absolutely amazing writer. She has this magnificent way to pull you into the story from the first page.
I felt every word.
As though I was standing in captain Edward’s office writing those wonderful words to Arthur that he would never see. 🥲
I also love the font change, reading the actual letters the captains wrote to one another. Brilliant touch.

Tragic 😭
I had no clue what to expect going into this (I refuse blurbs). But I know Autumn loves to emotionally destroy her readers, so I was prepared for that. But I was not prepared to tear up over fictional men 🥲
This is a M/M romance, well I wouldn’t call what i just read a romance, a tragedy? Some Shakespeare stuff 😂
I died. A piece of me sunk with the fictional titanic 😭
If you want to be all up in your sad feels, this is it. Well, anything by the brilliant woman is it 😂

Yeah unfortunately this book wasn't for me at all. I didn't connect to the characters in any way and didn't feel any sort of emotion towards it. However I think this is because Historical fictions just arnt my thing. Seems others have loved it though so im sure if historical fiction is your thing then this would be a great short read for you.
I do think the message of love came across though and the hope that the world would change for the better and people to be able to love who they want to love in the future. Thank god we live in a different world now. 3 starts.

,,A captain always goes down with his ship, and a love that was never meant to be stays in the shadows while history writes our stories…” 🌊
my initial review read — ,,watching my undisputed favorite film will never be quite the same again” — yet only three months later, i’ve come to realise i’ve already forgotten most of this novel.
i suppose that speaks for itself. it failed to linger long enough to leave behind a lasting impression or allow any genuine attachment to form.

Just when I think I'm tough, here comes a 100-page novella with shit like:
"My heart knew its other by your mere presence."
"Passengers of this vessel comforting strangers of yours, and it all comes flooding back, stealing my breath. The breath I would give to you without a moment's thought."
"I know that for the rest of this lifetime, he will belong to me, but in the next life or afterward, it will be Edward. Eternity will always be Edwards."
Aight dawg, just leave me be 😔

I absolutely loved this book even if it broke my heart!
Star crossed lovers, just two ships passing in the night.
A tragic titanic retelling of forbidden love between rival ship captains.
Desperate to be together but fated to be apart.
A race against time to save the other half of his soul that will bring you to tears.
“A captain always goes down with his ship”

Love
It knows no limits… if there is one thing I can count on from Autumn it is that she will reach into your chest and rip your heart out. This is my second book I’ve read by Autumn and again it was an easy 5⭐️ to give. While it was on the shorter side, it didn’t matter because you can still feel the love between Arthur and Edward in this short book. The yearning, the love, and the struggle they had was truly beautiful. Thank you, Autumn! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Truly!
