Another excellent contemporary roman from Kathleen Gilles Seidel. I always like how she writes characters. They feel like real people that I would like to know -- most of them. They act in ways that I can understand. She does great with the backstories even in a short spice. If there is a sequel I would like to read it but I doubt there will be because all three snowboarders have books. But there is still the mysterious Lailah. ( )

Autumn’s Child by Kathleen Gilles-Seidel
Stand ingTall #3

Slow beginning that almost had me give up on the book but knowing that I have enjoyed this author’s books in the past I plugged on. With more than one thread to the story it was a bit of a puzzle about who Autumn even was till much further into the book. There was the sort-of romance and second chance for Ben and Colleen to achieve a HEA. There was the issues of inheritance and some getting more than others. There was the issue of family and adoption and blood. There was a huge media circus with crazies running around. There were friends that came to visit. For some reason I just could not get into this book and really had trouble relating to the characters. I did not see what Colleen and Ben saw in one another or why she was still interested in him as to me he seemed rather selfish. Anyway, I did finish the book but do have to say that I much prefer other books that I have read by this author.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Lyrical Shine for the ARC – This is my honest review.
