Chasing Autumn
Small town life is not what I imagined.
When my great aunt died and left me her house, I wasn’t sure what to expect.
Serial-killer neighbours, hot men everywhere I look, new friends inviting me to book club, and being chased by flesh-eating zombies probably weren’t on my bingo card.
I learned a few things really quickly:
1. I have a very overactive imagination, and maybe my neighbours aren’t who I thought they were.
2. I hate Halloween.
3. Maybe I’m not too much; maybe I just needed two men to help me find my happy ever after, although, right now, I’d settle for them both giving me a happy ending before the zombie finds us.
The only problem with my new situation? I think my new neighbours might be as into each other as they are me, and neither of them seems to realise it.
The night we spend together unlocks some demons, and they are forced to confront their past; the only question is, what’s left when the dust settles?
Chasing Autumn is a Halloween-themed MFM that becomes an MMF.

A great little novella perfect for Halloween.
This is a short fast paced story set at Halloween. It has great Halloween touches that sets the book but does not take away from the main characters.
I absolutely love these three. The will they wont they between Asher and Silus is written so well I wanted to bang their heads together.
Spicy in all the right places this is not to be missed.
My only criticism would be it’s not long enough. I didn’t want it to end.

Sweet, spicy, and emotional. Autumn moves to town to live in the house left to her by her great aunt. She didn't expect to find such a close knit community or to be so attracted to BOTH her hot new neighbors, Asher and Silus. She starts dating both of them, and things progress quite quickly. What the guys don't expect is to finally realize they have feelings for each other! Autumn becomes the glue that brought them and holds them together. It was a perfect quick, Halloween read. Loved it!!!

Holiday Fun
This was a lovely story of 3 people coming together.
It had none of the suspense that Esme’s books usually hold, but I loved it just the same.
It felt easy and warm, watching how Silas and Asher finally worked out how they felt about each other. Autumn was a breath of fresh air, who matched the two men perfectly.

Lovely little Halloween novella
Esme is a new author for me and i loved this why choose Halloween novella.
It was just what I needed to break up my reading a bit, im usually way darker so i'll 100% be checking out Esme's backlist.
It was a cute cosy story, perfect for this time of year.

This is the perfct quick read if you want a cosy (but HOT) Halloween novella.
Set in the familiar Esme universe, this MFM turned MMF is full of life, banter and spice, a joyful read with characters that are larger than life.
No spoilers, but the spice be spicing and you wont regret reading this!

Very well written. Had me smiling from ear to ear. I am glad it is a novella because if it were longer it may have been filled with more angst and taken them longer to work through their issues. Took only a few hours.
