Release Blitz & Review: J.A. DeRouen's "Waiting for Autumn."

The Hopeless Romantics Book Blog are pleased to be part of the Release Blitz & Review for J.A. DeRouen's "Waiting for Autumn."


Synopsis:

Sebastian

“Race me for it.” 
Four simple words. Five desolate years.

Sebastian Kelly believes he isn’t worthy of redemption, of a chance to right his wrongs. But an unexpected trip home, the place he dreads most, calls in question everything he’s come to believe. And who knows, he may find exactly what he’s been waiting for. 

Autumn

One broken promise. Two pink lines.

Autumn Norris knew in an instant her life would never be the same. Years have flown by in a flurry of sparkles and dress up, and Autumn has refused to let the anchor of regret pull her under. 

Until she lays eyes on Sebastian, and the wave of “why," “where," and "how could you" flood her every thought.

Old hurt and new betrayal twist first love into a reluctant partnership, and theirs may be a bond even pigtails and butterfly kisses can’t mend. But the past five years have felt like a lifetime, and Seb is willing to wait as long as it takes.

Because the truth is, he’s always been waiting for Autumn.

Review: Jo 

I was introduced to this author last year, when I read and loved the "Over" series. Since then I have been eagerly awaiting her next release, so of course it was a no brainer when this books came my way. I didn't even read the synopsis, I just knew I had to read it. 

"I've always been a dreamer, and when it comes to Autumn and me,
 I've always dreamed big." 

"Waiting for Autumn" was a sweet second chance romance that melted my heart. Sebastian and Autumn's love story was full of heart that made me swoon repeatedly. The things that I loved most about this book were the characters Sebastian and Autumn, their love for one another, and I also adored the style of writing. I always know how much I enjoy the writing by the amount of highlights I make, and with this novel, I did a lot. The words were beautiful. 

"Old memories intertwine with new, and the enormity of this moment...
this man....wraps around my heart and squeezes."

Sebastian and Autumn were both easy to like characters who had a ton of history together, but sadly things had gone wrong for them. Now, in this book the couple were given a second chance, a chance that Sebastian was not going to let go. He loved Autumn fiercely and I don't think he'd ever stopped, even when they had been apart. The way he loved Autumn was just so dreamy and I wanted nothing more than for that strong love to be reciprocated. 

"...my body catches fire, knowing it's match, 
feeling how right we are for each other, deep down to my soul." 

As well as the romance, there was also a huge curve-ball that added an extra twist to the story and I'm sure I could sense something going on between Brady and Lexi. I'm wondering if the author is planning to write a novel for these two characters. If she does, I would by more than willing to read it. 

"It was always forever."

Wonderful writing, a heartwarming story and sweet romance made "Waiting for Autumn" the most perfect second chance love. It gets ❤️❤️❤️❤️ from me.
