Falling For Autumn: A New Adult Sports Romance

by Emily Camp

Autumn is a genius. As a senior in high school she tutors college students. Kolson is her newest client. She's tutored his type before. He plays football, has to be the center of attention, and thinks that he can charm her into doing the work for him. Little does he know she's immune to guys like him. However, when it comes to her heart, it may be a different story.

Kolson needs to keep his scholarship. He's a beast on the football field, but struggles in the classroom. The pressure weighs on him. It doesn’t help that the girl who's hired to tutor him gives him no slack, unlike everyone else he comes across. Oddly enough, he doesn't mind that Autumn challenges him and doesn’t let him get away with doing the bare minimum.

This story follows Autumn & Kolson. Autumn is a smart high school student, in fact she is so smart that she tutors collage students. Kolson is a jock who needs to be knocked down a few notches and his grades need major saving. Autmun being the genius she is gets her newest collage student to tutor Kolson....Let's just say Autumn has her work cut out for her.

Kolson is use to being the center of attention and Kolson believes his smooth ways and charm will win Autumn over. But, he is for quiet the shock when he finds out Autumn isn't like every other girl who falls head over heels for Kolson.

For Kolson, to keep his scholarship, he needs Autumn. Pressure is weighing on him and Autumn could care less she isn't taking it easy on him by any means. But, Kolson might find out that he likes being challenged or....at least he likes when Autumn challenges him.

This is a short novella, age gap romance that can be binged in one sitting! I enjoyed this story and Emily's writing!

Love it! 🥰 I would have gotten done with it sooner but life got in the way lol.

It’s cute funny and fast to the point it’s a cute love story between the two characters. It might not be labeled as he fell first but to me it is. He’s not like most jocks he’s different he’s just trying to make it through college then ends up meeting the right person for him. In a way, he brings out the better in her even if it wasn’t shown that much in the book you can just tell that’s where it’s going. I can’t wait to start book two in the series

Falling For Autumn Review

BEST BOOK I EVER HAVE READ. It was quick, had a cute story line and everything was perfect. I finished this book in roughly 3 hours as it has under 200 pages and I think this is a perfect book if you love sweet romance, closed door and if you are in a reading slump will get you straight out of it!

[Gypsy Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely love the story between these two. It was such a sweet book that makes my heart happy.

[Christie · Rating 2 out of 5]

As a parent and a high school educator, I just can’t get behind the plot of this story. Autumn makes so many poor choices (but she LOVES him) and her parents seem to be mostly uninvolved, which is sad. (What kind of parent lets their high schooler go away for the weekend with their 20yo college boyfriend?!?) And I felt bad for his “friend” at the sorority, too.
This could have been such a sweet story, but it was disheartening to see the characters’ poor choices romanticized when any responsible adult would have encouraged them to be smarter. The ending came too abruptly, but I was glad that it was over.
Not an entirely clean read.

This was a sweet read. I read this novella in one afternoon. Emily Camp wrote it with perfect pacing so that this short book didn’t feel rushed or like insta-love. I don’t often find college aged characters likable anymore, but these characters are both sweet and enjoyable. The age gap wasn’t my favorite aspect, but that’s a personal thing as I don’t like any age gap relationships that are mentioned multiple times. (The age gap isn’t creepy so no worries.) If you’re looking for a slump busting sports romance, want a quick read to help with a reading goal, or just desire a good read, this book is worth checking out.

I love a good sports romance and the couple featured in this story will have you giggling at how adorable together they are together! While there was one element of the book that made me a little uncomfortable, the way the author handled it was commendable. Overall, a super cute and quick read! If you’re in the market for a fluffy book to cozy up with this holiday season I highly recommend adding it to your TBR!

Cute

Socially awkward, genius high-schooler and self assured, broke college football jock.

Easy read. Cute couple. little drama, but big blow up

[Kelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another amazing book by Emily Camp! This was a tutor romance and I absolutely loved it! If you want a YA version of Off Campus I would check this one out!

[A Brew Story · Rating 4 out of 5]

I ate this book up. A great Young Adult romance. I love how the FMC stands up for herself and doesn't let the "hot guy" push her around. I love how Emily pulled together the two characters and led them both to the perfect person. I cannot wait to read the second one.
