♥ A mysterious, medieval retelling of Beauty and the Beast! ♥
On a trip back from Scotland, the ship that carries Lady Autumn is caught in a storm and forced to dock. The dark and dreary Ravenscar Castle sits high atop the cliffs, ruled by the mighty and frightening warlord known as Ravenscar. The Lord of Ravenscar is said to be a true beast, keeping children of war as servants, and kidnapping … of war as servants, and kidnapping women to be his lovers.
When his liege lord falls ill and dies, Benedict Grenfell assumes the identity of Ravenscar, keeping the legend of the infamous man alive. But when he falls ill, he needs to find a healer quickly who is willing to step foot inside his castle to heal him. He hears of a lady with a miraculous healing touch whose ship has docked on his shores. He kidnaps her, bringing her to his castle, insisting she heals him. But Lady Autumn’s touch is much more than healing to his physical body. Her presence in his life starts to heal his soul as well.
A dark lord and a lady of light are brough together by force, but stay together by choice.

Unusual twist on beauty and the beast, personality instead of looks.
Love this family of characters and strength of the women.
I love all of Rose’s books. This was a wonderful clean and romantic novel, truly enjoyable reading.
The book was original! I liked the characters and the plot!
a sort of beauty and the beast where both characters are developed and real
“Autumn’s Touch: Seasons of Fortitude Series, Book 3” by Elizabeth Rose is the 3rd sister book. Autumn knows which herbs to use, and seems to have the powers of healing. This story moves at a fast pace, and I got the book on Audio, but I loved reading it myself. There is a lot to this story…most of which should be read instead of being told what is going to happen.
I love her books and all the characters!
Love the whole Season series. A good representation of the time period in which it takes place.
This is the first book I have read of Ms Rose. I received it as an ARC and was very impressed. I enjoyed the story line, of a man flooded with darkness and an innocence woman filled with light. I found that it wasn’t a heavy book to read but one I found hard to put down. Ms Rose developed the all characters well and you couldn’t help but feel for them. Not just the main ones but the various others through out the story. I would definitely suggest reading it even though it is part of a series,it can be read alone but more enjoyable if you have read the first ones.
2.5 STARS
I’ve read the previous 2 books in the series, they are stand alone stories.
When you don’t feel a connection to the h/H until the very end, it’s hard to finish, but I did.
The ending saved it from 2 stars, barely. The H acted like he had a split personality. First he would be kind and listen to the h, next he was yelling and screaming.
I am wishy washy on whether I liked the h. She has just turned 17 and for her to ask the H to teach her about some parts of lovemaking, turned me off. There is a few times where there is everything but the actual act, prior to marriage. They get married, have sex and it wasn’t filled with passion at all, because they didn’t seem like a couple. Heat level 3-3.5 out of 5.
There is some suspense and violence. No cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA, no romance and some steam. I’m going into the blurb as many have explained it. Just some facets you may find interesting. (ljb)
Nothing to write home about.
Wanted to like this book….but it just didn’t grab my attention and was boring.
I lost interest and didn’t bother to finish the book.
Disappointing. No surprises. Sorry I wasted my time
it was too predictable and the characters were a bit shallow.
Love Elizabeth Rose. Great writer.
After she has lived in a nunnery for 4 yrs, she wants adventure.
Autumn has been gifted with a healing touch after the tree she is touching gets struck by lightning. She makes the trip to her brother’s castle to help his wife deliver their twins. On a ship back, they are forced to dock at the castle of a beast of a man. She is kidnapped when the lord of the castle needs a healer and she is held prisoner.
Will she ever make it back to her regular life or will she remain a prisoner?
Another A+ story by Elizabeth Rose!
Autumn’s Touch by Elizabeth Rose is yet another reason why I love this amazing author. While, book 3, it can be read as a stand alone. This is an amazing series!
Autumn is my favorite, I think. She is such a caring person. Ms. Rose did an excellent job of describing the caring arts of old, and the toil it could take on a healer. Benedict has secrets, he has become bitter and uncaring, due to his true liege’s influences, who has recently died.
This is one of those stories that lingers long after the last sentence. Can a lady of lightness tame the beast of darkness?
Fast paced, well written, with an engaging cast of characters and a plot that is intriguing and captivating. I enjoyed learning more of Autumn’s story, her caring ways and gentle touch makes her beautiful inside and out. Benedict, while living a life of lies, and deceit finds his courage and his redemption. I always love A visit her Autumn’s family. *Wink*
A tale of love, healing, redemption, romance and finding a HEA. Compellingly Powerful! A must read for fans of romance, strength, courage and destiny.

i loved this series and this book did not let me down, it was hard to put down, the characters in this book came to life inside the pages of this book and was easy to place myself in the pages also. I love a story about a strong women and a guy that’s hard core fall for love. in need of her magic but then her love what will happen between Lady Autumn and Lord Benedict Grenfell. If you want to know what happens then you will have to read the book. I don’t read and tell all. I won’t take the surprise from the readers. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author, but i enjoyed it so much i bought it also, so i could have it on my kindle to reread again when i leave the computer.
