Autumn Stratton has it all. Or so she thinks until she catches her two-timing husband with his pants around his ankles. There is much Autumn can forgive but infidelity isn’t one of them. Since she obviously can’t trust her judgment in men, she decides they are only good for one thing… changes the day she accidently flashes him. After viewing something he shouldn’t have, Connor is seeing his friend in a whole new light. When she says all she wants now from a man is a fling, Connor is all in. Having watched his twin brother fall apart because of a woman, Connor has no intention of giving any female the power to hurt him that way.
Autumn and Connor agree that friends with benefits is the perfect solution for both of them. They are friends and will never hurt each other. That’s the plan, anyway. But as happens, the best-laid plans often go awry. And when they do, the quirky residents of Blue Ridge Valley decide to take matters into their own hands, all in the name of love.

Sandra Owens has a wonderful talent in writing characters who a realistic and easy to fall in love with. Her new series-Blue Ridge Valley-makes a wonderful summertime beach read.
Great book, couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait for the next book in the series. I am so wrapped up in this world Sandra Owens has created!
Another great book by Sandra Owens. The second installment of her Blue Ridge Valley trilogy is “All Autumn” and it begins about four months after “Just Jenny.” As with the first book, this one is told in the first person with chapters alternating between the heroine, Autumn, and the hero, Connor. Connor has been one of Autumn’s best friends for years and since he has made it clear to everyone he has no intention of ever getting married, she turns to him for a fling once her marriage to an adulterer is over. One of my favorite tropes is “friends to lovers” and this one is very well written. Both Autumn and Connor come with baggage and it’s that baggage that causes them to refuse to see what was right in front of them all along. Add into the mix a delightful town full of quirky characters and you have another very satisfying visit to Blue Ridge Valley.
Has to be in the top five books I have ever read! Was even better than Just Jenny #1 in this series! Can’t wait for #3! Don’t miss either one!
What makes this book a 5-star rating? It’s written by a superb author, Sandra Owens. Her books are compelling, suspenseful, humorous, and romantic. You know when you start to read one of her books, you’re not going to want to put it down. All Autumn is no exception.
When Autumn catches her husband with his pants down…literally, she decides to divorce him. She also decides that she wants to stay single and play the field with no strings attached. So what could go wrong when one of her best friends, Connor, agrees to be her friend with benefits?
You’ll love this book set in a small mountainous town near Asheville, North Carolina featuring lots of hilarious characters. The courtroom scene will have your laughing out loud with all the characters chiming in on the proceedings. Author Sandra Owens’ descriptive writing style makes you think you know these characters and can relate to their shenanigans.
This is the second in Owens’ Blue Ridge Valley series but you don’t have to read the first one, Just Jenny, to connect the dots. Do yourself a favor.. read All Autumn. You’ll be glad you did.

I loved Sandra Owens newest book, All Autumn. #2 in her Blue Ridge Valley series. There wasn’t one thing I didn’t absolutely love. I loved Autumn Archer. And Connor Hunter? My new book boyfriend. One of the most romantic hero’s I’ve read in while. Which is saying a lot. Honorable. And just a nice guy. I loved how he was “All about his best friend, Autumn.” I love small town romance + best friend’s to more trope, so both of those made this the icing on the cake. This book had some LOL! Make you smile moments. I love the residents of Blue Ridge Valley, and loved visiting with them again. Especially Jenny and Dylan. If course I loved Beauregard ‘Beau/Sam, Autumn’s dog. A feel good, can’t put down book. I’m now eagerly anticipating Still Savannah in October. Loving this series so much!
This second book in this series, manages to grasp your attention from the start. We are back with the group of childhood friends, whose lives are not only intertwined , but whose love has also evolved.
This story belongs to Autumn, whose marriage is not what she thought it was, and Connor, who suddenly sees Autumn in a different light.
The author reminds us of the complexities of life, and relationships . Also, we are reminded that our childhood does in fact affect us as adults.
In the end will Connor and Autumn be able to overcome their doubts and past hurts in order to find real love?
Can’t wait for what else the author has in store for us.
I voluntarily read this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
I adored everything about the book!
All Autumn steals your heart from
the very first page to the last.
It’s is steamy, funny, & tender love story.
Autumn’s life is good. Her husband
is everything to her. She wants to
surprise him with a fantasy birthday
gift, but the surprise is on Autumn.
She promised herself a long time ago,
she’d never be like her mother.
Autumn & Connor have been close
friends since grade school.
After accidentally getting a peak at her
girlie parts one night, Connor hasn’t
been able to stop thinking about her.
Autumn has had it with men & love.
After they kissed, something has
changed between Autumn & Connor.
They’re both not looking for a relationship,
so why not be friends with benefits.
But, sometimes things don’t go as planned.
Another awesome book in this series!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR EVERYONE!!!
The second book in this series centers around Autumn and Connor. Autumn goes to surprise her husband, Brian, on his birthday, but she’s the one the one that gets the surprise. If you’re going to be doing the nasty in your office, he should have locked the door. I’m so glad she found out he was a cheating snake. I just love this small town and the residents. No spoilers about what happens, but I will say this was an awesome read. I can’t believe how much I laughed reading this book, lol. Grab your copy and see what happens. Now, I have to go read Savannah’s story.
