Autumn Skies (Bluebell Inn Romance #3) by Denise Hunter

 

 

The Bluebell Inn is turning a profit, and it’s time for the Bennett siblings to sell it and move on. Only Grace has plans to stay in the small lake town of Bluebell, North Carolina, where she hopes her growing outfitters business will save her from the loneliness of her siblings’ departure and the persistent sense of unworthiness in her life.

A gunshot wound resurrects the past for Secret Service agent Wyatt Jennings, and a mandatory leave of absence lands him in Bluebell. There he must come to grips with the tragedy that altered his life fourteen years ago.

When Wyatt books a room at the Bluebell Inn, sparks fly between him and Grace. She volunteers to be his mountain guide, and he soon opens up to her, drawn to her strength and sense of humor. But both are reticent to talk about the survivor’s guilt they each carry, and when their pasts finally collide, their budding romance might not survive the truth.

I think this book may be my favorite of this series.  I really loved it- from beginning to end.  The characters and the story progression felt natural and moved forward at a great pace.  I was so invested in this story the whole way through. 

Wyatt and Grace are two characters that are easy to like and easy to root for.  I enjoyed them together and apart.  Wyatt is cautious and conflicted and his story is more complex.  His search for closure brings him close to Grace who struggles with some of her own demons.  The emotions were real and even though I don't personally struggle with the same things Wyatt and Grace did, I connected with the way the characters were feeling.  That's exactly what I want as a reader.

I've loved this Bluebell Inn series but again, this story was my favorite. It was nice to see Grace's sister and brother in this book too, keeping with the family connections present in each book.  I loved how all their stories came to a feel good resolution.  It was so well done.  I think this book could stand alone but I would really recommend reading this series in order.  These three siblings play a prominent role in each book and their stories progress in each even though each book focuses on one particular person.

Content:  mild peril, mild violence, kissing.  Christian fiction.
