What happens at De La Porte’s annual Labor Day weekend party in the Hamptons—never stays in the Hamptons.After my marriage to my high school sweetheart ended, I made a list of all the things I “desired” the next time around. After all, marrying for love had failed me. One year single, and I had all the love I needed in an amazing career and great new friends — the ex got the old ones in the … ones in the divorce. I was only lacking in one department …
Hot, passionate sex
-Taller than me
-Fit, bulging, biteable arms
-Six-pack abs
-Suit and tie
-Chiseled features
-Tattoos
-Gentleman on the streets, freak between the sheets
-Oral AF
-Smells delicious
-Gives me chills
-Can buy the occasional meal out
-Not an employee of De La Porte
That’s it. That’s all I wanted. Easy, huh?
WRONG!
Have you ever tried online dating?
Shit. Show.
No one’s honest or up front, and when you are, they slither back into the dark hole they momentarily climbed out of to rub one out.
Standing at the bar with my best friend, the weekend of our annual Hamptons company getaway, a man who checked all my boxes magically appeared.
I will admit it was the best weekend of my life …
Until I found out he was still in college … and that his father was on the board of trustees.

I absolutely love Coutue Love! The characters and the story grabbed me right away and I didn’t want to put the book down!
Eric is quite a few years younger than Autumn but he seems to understand the depth of his feelings and the uniqueness of the relationship that they have an opportunity to build together. The beauty of this story is that he won’t give up on her and is willing to wait for her to accept that they are meant to be together. She has baggage from a past relationship and is having a hard time believing that a younger, hot guy would really want her. She is beautiful and independent but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t harbor insecurities from the emotional abuse she suffered in her past and doubts about herself and her potential for love and a relationship with Eric. She has to open her heart and simply let him in because when she does their chemistry is off the charts!
The story is definitely worth your time to read and enjoy.
“Love written in the stars.”
Another amazing read by MJ Fields! Eric and Autumn’s love story definitely wasn’t easy. There was so much lust, angst, and emotion wrapped in each and every page. This story will leave you breathless!
Eric may be young in age but he will have you totally swooning. He is the PERFECT alpha and has the biggest most beautiful heart. Autumn is a force to be reckoned with and refuses to let anyone walk all over her. She has learned her lesson from her past mistakes.
This story will pull you in and break your heart just to see it back up again. From start to finish you will feel all the feels.
I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy of Couture Love . This is my honest opinion .
This is a steamy hot , sexy and definitely a love story . This is a very emotional story . Two damaged souls
Trying to manage life and their insecurities so they can make it thru to the other side . It’s quite a journey . They stumble alot , make questionable decisions . The story teaches life and love isn’t always sunshine and rainbows . Sometimes you have a rough and rugged path to follow to reach a Happily ever after . This is a beautiful and sensational story . Eric is a mature and supportive young man due to growing up so fast . Autumn is strong and independent woman recovering from a divorce . They both have alot of baggage to deal with . This is one of my new favorite stories . I highly recommend taking the time to read this story .
Autumn falls for Eric and uses him to help her move on from her divorce—until she finds out who he is and realizes his age. After that, much of the story is spent with Autumn acting far less mature than Eric while he tries to keep his family going and convince her they are meant to be. I truly adore Eric Shelby is a hoot. This story does not follow a traditional storyline, much like most of this author’s work doesn’t, which I love!
Reading this series I’ve been looking forward to Autumn’s book. This book definitely delivers on the feels, but it also delivers on the heat. Autumn and Eric have undeniable chemistry and the emotions our off the pages for those two. This book has a younger guy older woman, but the age gap isn’t too big. I couldn’t have asked for a better match for Autumn. Though what they have is forbidden on so many levels it’s so perfect. You can feel to connection between them, but also the struggle they have. Autumn has a lot of self doubt and insecurities when it comes to her own happiness. Watching her blossom through out the book was one of my favorite parts. I was sucked right into this book. All the characters pulled me in. Eric’s family dynamic is another intriguing part of the book and one that had me hooked.
Awesome. MJ Fields has once again given here readers exactly what they expect. Eric is your next book boyfriend. He may be young but he knows exactly what and who is wants. When the situation comes up for him to step in he does so and knows exactly what to do. He takes responsibility seriously. Autumn is set in her ways. She is afraid to love because of her past. She doesn’t want to get hurt again and therefore closes off her heart. She also lets the age difference build part of the wall she keeps around her heart. She feels he will want things she is unable to give even though he assures her she couldn’t be anymore wrong.
I loved the side characters also. I think Shelby is my favorite of them all. It took a while to get to understand her but once you do you want to take her under your own wing and protect her and watch her grow. MJ Fields does such an amazing job with all of her characters. You feel like they are a part of you and you find yourself feeling what they feel. Happiness, anger, sadness, joy. She gives it all and never disappoints her readers or anyone who chooses to read her work. She is such a talented author and her works prove it everyday.
After reading this book, I would like to take the time to nominate Eric Cartwright for sainthood for his patience. He was one amazing man that despite the events that took place, he was present and did what he needed for his family. The pair, Autumn and Eric were damaged by circumstances in their lives but came though to the other side with a lot of work on themselves. Their story was told from both POV and had off the charts chemistry together. I liked the return of the characters from the previous books in the series as this book does overlap with some of the events from the other books in this series. I am glad that Autumn got her story told as she played such important rolls in the other books of the series. I also would love to see Shelby get her story told and or Claudia but who knows what the future will bring for them. I would definitely recommend this book as well as this series to others.
Couture Love is book 4 in the Timeless Love series by MJ Fields and is a standalone read. This is Autumn and Eric’s story. She’s a sexy divorcee with this must have list for what she’s looking for in a mate and a ton of rules to go right along with them. But on this weekend, she ends up breaking all them rules and must haves for this incredible man she just met- Eric. He is handsome, intelligent, so passionate and romantic plus really patient. And he is younger than her…the chemistry between them is really intense and amazing!!! Eric knows he wants Autumn in his life the moment he laid eyes on her and is willing to work to get what he wants. Autumn knows she had a fantastic weekend but when she finds out how much younger he is than her, she is soon on her way to ruining the best thing to happen in her life.
Can Autumn work past her hangups and fears to let Eric in her life? Will Eric be able to get Autumn’s fears and they work on their relationship to get to the next level? The plot is beautiful, moving and sizzling. A woman who is in her 30s and the man whose in his early 20s. Loved the chemistry between them and the story that shows how they work through the baggage each has. Fabulous ending!!!
My Rating: 4.5 stars *******
This is the fourth book in the Timeless Love series, though can easily be read as a standalone. This book follows Cinq a Sept (Angela & Bass) and Amour Battu (Natasha & Oliver), Hearts So Big (Stella & Aaron) and is Autumn & Eric’s story.
This is the story of turmoil, wasted time but realising true love has been there waiting all along.
Autumn is Angela’s best friend, confidant and PA, having had her heart crushed before, she is reluctant to give a guy the chance to break through her walls, even when she falls for Eric at the De La Porte annual Hamptons weekend.
A lot of trust issues, means Autumn can’t give in to her desires and when she finds out a ‘secret’ about Eric, all bets are off, her walls are back up and she retreats back within herself.
Can Eric get through to her? Or has too much time already passed by?
This is heart wrenching, but at the same time you want to bang both their heads together!
I loved this continuing story of the De La Porte ‘family’ and can’t wait for more
Thank you MJ, for giving us Autumn’s story
This is one of my favorite series by MJ and this story is GREAT! I couldn’t put it down. I was only 10% into the book and holy HOTNESS! I’ve loved Autumn right from the first book in this series but now I totally get her and love her even more. Now Eric OMG! I’m totally in love with this man! You’ll laugh, need a few panty changes ;)…if you’re like me shed some happy tears and have some awwww moments! It’s a must read!
