Excerpt from Autumn’s Ghost
As Mother and I sat at the waterfront restaurant enjoying the slight breeze and the sound of the Gulf’s gently lapping blue water, a seagull swooped low, causing us to duck from its trajectory. Mother laughed and said, “Wouldn’t you know that the one time I didn’t wear a hat, I’d be accosted by a bird.” I looked up, chuckling to express that I’d heard her comment.
“You’re mighty quiet today, Autumn,” she said. “What’s on your mind?” “Just thinking about applying to grad school.” “Oh, why would you want to do that? We can give youeverything you’ll ever need.” My mother was clueless when it came to being anything other than the wife of a wealthy man.
“That may well be, Mother. But what I want is a career in photojournalism. I doubt you can give me that.” “We’ll discuss this at another time. Today our topic is your birthday. How about a nice lunch in Paris or Prague? You name it, and I’ll make it happen.”
My shoulders slumped. No matter what my age, nothing ever changed. They still treated me like a China doll.

My thoughts on Autumn’s Ghost
Autumn’s Ghost is a charming quick story to read on a lovely fall evening.
Cricket Rohman has a knack for writing captivating clean romantic fiction. She lived up to that reputation with this book.
Autumn and Ranger have that instant sizzle necessary to carry the romance part of the story.
Autumn’s affluent parents are overly strict and treat her like a much younger girl than a woman who has just graduated college.
Up until now, she’s been perfectly happy to let them make all the decisions for her. She has a best friend and her library book club to keep her busy.
When she wins a contest from the Fantasy Maker, she sneaks off to fulfill her dreams of a vacation to photograph New Hampshire’s fall changing of the season.
Through a series of mishaps and fortuitous coincidences, she and Ranger put their chemistry to the test.
The story has everything from a mysterious benefactor to a haunted house. I normally love a story with a faithful dog, but the inherited horse & injured wild red fox fill that role admirably.
The descriptive details are vivid and create beautiful images throughout the book.
There were occasional places where I felt like I needed a tad more information. However, this is part of a series, and I trust the author to tie these mysteries up with the perfect bow in the next books.
I recommend this delightful tale to all lovers of fall, Halloween, and sweet romance.
I received a free digital copy of this book via Booksprout. This is my honest, unbiased opinion.
