How to read Falling for Autumn romance book series in order

The Bodyguard’s Fall by Cindy Steel

Her stalker is getting closer. So is her bodyguard.

I know how to write murder mysteries.

Dead bodies? Great. Blood and gore? Even better.

Romance? Absolutely not.

Unfortunately, my production company disagrees. After years of writing cozy crime dramas, I’m suddenly being forced to write a flannel-and-cider romance packed with pumpkin patches, fall festivals, and happily-ever-afters I don’t actually believe in.

Not after spending months hiding from a stalker who’s growing more obsessive each day.

Which is how I end up back in my hometown of Autumn Ridge, Vermont, under the protection of Tate Walker: my older brother’s best friend, an off-duty cop recovering from a dangerous undercover operation, and the same overprotective pain in my neck who never could mind his own business.

Now I’m hiding out on his family’s hay farm while police hunt my stalker. Between self-defense lessons, tractor rides, and cozy autumn outings that feel suspiciously like dates, I start finding inspiration for my romantic screenplay in the one place I never expected:

My bodyguard.

But as the threats escalate and my stalker gets closer, so do Tate and I. Turns out the hardest love story I’ve ever had to write… is the one I’m living.

♥ The Bodyguard’s Fall is a cozy, closed-door romance full of sizzle, witty banter, and chemistry but without explicit content.

Autumn on My Mind by Gracie Ruth Mitchell

What happens when two exes find out their parents are dating?

When Reese and Dominic secretly dated and then broke up years ago, they knew they’d have to see each other again. They were from the same small town of Autumn Ridge, Vermont. Their families still lived there. It was inevitable.

What Reese didn’t expect was to see Dominic across the table from her, being introduced as the son of her mother’s latest boyfriend.

Dom and Reese can be exes. They can be neighbors. They could even maybe someday be friends. What they cannot be is siblings.

But Reese’s mother has her eyes on the prize, and she’s not walking away without a ring on her finger. So even though part of Reese’s heart still hurts from the past they share, she and Dominic agree to team up and separate their parents.

Spying? A necessity. Sneaking around? Obviously. And sabotage? Well…never say never.

But the further apart they attempt to push their parents, the closer Reese and Dom get—until the lines between past and present begin to blur, and they find themselves with the stickiest conundrum of all: owning the truth of what really happened between them…and deciding if their love deserves a second chance.

Resisting the Fall by Jess Heileman

Their divorce never finalized. Neither did their feelings.

The discovery that I was still legally married — years after I thought my divorce was final — was supposed to be the worst thing to happen to me this fall.

It wasn’t.

Because apparently the state of Vermont believes in closure. And no regrets. And court-ordered thirty-day reconciliation efforts. So now, in order to fast-track my divorce from Bennett Walker—my high school sweetheart and the man who walked out on our marriage six years ago—I’m being forced back to the small town we grew up in to spend an entire month proving our relationship isn’t worth saving.

A situation Ben annoyingly finds amusing.

Which is why I plan to make this the most memorable, insufferable, torturous thirty days of his life. As a prank-loving aficionado, I have countless ideas about how to drive Ben crazy while keeping myself focused on the goal: finalizing our divorce.

With my life in New York and a career I absolutely love, not even deeply embedded habits and old feelings can threaten my resolve.

I’m resolved.

So resolved.

Absolutely, definitely, one hundred percent resolved. And if I keep saying it, maybe this time around, I’ll be capable of resisting the fall.

Perfect for fans of cozy autumn romance, delightful banter, and heart-melting second chances, Resisting the Fall is a swoony, closed-door romcom about first loves, unfinished endings, and the unexpected journey of getting lost on the way to where you thought you were meant to be.

Falling for Keeps by Kasey Stockton

Emma Harper wants a love story. Carson Price wants nothing to do with one.

As the children’s librarian in Autumn Ridge, Emma spends her days surrounded by happy endings. But between restoring her old farmhouse, keeping her family together, and searching for a decent man in a very small town, her own romance feels permanently shelved.

Then one impulsive night at a bar, she kisses Carson Price—the popular guy she crushed on in high school.

For Emma, it’s a reckless little dream come true.

For Carson, it’s a fun night with a beautiful woman he never expects to see again.

Until the next morning… when he moves in across the street.

Newly divorced, cynical, and focused on raising his daughter while rebuilding the dental practice he just bought, Carson has no interest in love. Marriage? Never again. Romance? Absolutely not.

Friendship with his warm, bookish, unexpectedly tempting neighbor? That might be safe enough.

Except Emma has never been good at doing anything halfway. And the more he lets her into his life, the harder it is for either of them to pretend friendship is all this is.

She’s ready to fall. He’s determined not to. But in a small town, staying just friends might be the hardest thing of all. Falling for Keeps is a sweet, single dad, sworn-off love romantic comedy set in the small town of Autumn Ridge.

Once Upon a Fall by Becky Monson

Rosie Harper is great at a lot of things. Saying no is not one of them.

As the owner of Once Upon an Inn, a newly opened princess-themed inn in the charming town of Autumn Ridge, Vermont, Rosie has said yes to everyone—the town’s fall festival, a neighbor’s truck in her only garage, and every favor anyone has thought to ask. Meanwhile, her guest rooms are unfinished, and a balloon payment is coming due whether she’s ready or not.

Then Dean Alden arrives with a rolling suitcase, a month-long reservation, and absolutely no patience for inefficiency.

A business consultant by trade, Dean is only in Autumn Ridge long enough to decide what to do with the abandoned apple orchard his grandmother left him before returning to the life he’s built on hotel rooms and temporary addresses. Staying was never part of the plan.

But somewhere between fixing Rosie’s curtain rods, getting pulled into small-town chaos, and watching her make room for everyone except herself, Dean begins to see more than a disorganized innkeeper with impossible plans.

And Rosie begins to wonder what might happen if, for once, she stopped giving everyone else what they wanted and admitted what she wanted too.

Because Dean Alden was only supposed to be a guest.

He was never supposed to feel like home.

Once Upon a Fallis a cozy small-town slow burn filled with autumn festivals, grumpy-sunshine tension, forced proximity, and a romance about finding the courage to ask for what you want—and choosing the place you want to stay.

Fall Fake-Out by Kortney Keisel

The relationship is fake. The feelings are not.

Ari Langford thought rock bottom looked like a breakup, an empty bank account, and moving back in with her parents. Then her younger sister got engaged.

Now Ari’s back home in Vermont, watching the entire town lose their minds over the “wedding of the century” while her mother keeps trying to set her up with every single man within a fifty-mile radius. That’s rock bottom.

The only bright spot? Wade Stevenson.

Unfortunately, Wade is also the problem.

The charming high school principal has a reputation for flirting first and thinking later, and half the town is still waiting for him to screw up so bad he loses his job. So when a student’s inappropriate crush threatens to turn into dangerous rumors, Wade needs a respectable girlfriend fast. Ari needs her mother off her back. Fake dating seems like the perfect solution.

Until the lines between fake and real start to blur.

Because suddenly they’re sharing cider donuts at the fall festival, sitting by each other at the football games, and spending more time together than either of them planned. The closer they get, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends.

And Ari’s not sure which is scarier: Wade breaking her heart or realizing he actually could.

Forbidden to Fall by Martha Keyes

He’s the villain in everyone else’s story. What happens if he becomes the hero of hers?

Sadie Stevenson is very good at three things: baking, avoiding conflict, and pretending she never had a crush on her brother’s best friend—ex best friend, that is.

She’s about to get worse at all three.

When James Carver returns to Autumn Ridge after eight years away, Sadie tells herself that working alongside him at Carver Maple Farm is just business. She tells herself she can handle this.

She cannot handle this.

In a town with a long memory and with a brother who will never forgive, falling for James isn’t just complicated, it’s forbidden.

Too bad James Carver turns out to be nothing like the villain she was promised.

Autumn Kissed by Deborah M. Hathaway

The good news? My five-year crush finally noticed me. The bad news? My dad noticed, too.

I told myself I’d outgrown my crush on cowboy Archer Kade—somewhere between braces, pimply skin, and writing his-name-plus-mine on every page of my diary.

Turns out, I was wrong.

I’m back from college for the fall, and that old crush is back, too. But this time, Archer’s not the young, ex-rodeo star I used to dream about. He’s a man making me laugh, walking me home, and trying to get my attention as much as I used to want his.

The only person who isn’t thrilled with this development?

My dad, the mayor of Autumn Ridge.

He says Archer’s trouble. I say I know he is—but I just can’t help myself. Especially when Archer’s suddenly everywhere. Helping with the fall festival. Running Horseshoe Holler Stables. Looking at me like I’m not that teenager who used to wear too much sparkly eyeshadow to catch his attention.

I left Autumn Ridge to get over him. This autumn, Archer might prove I never really did.

Autumn Kissed is a clean, closed-door, romantic comedy with no spice but plenty of sweet kisses and a forbidden romance.
