Good morning, readers.
Another short read today, only eighty-five pages.
Golden Days of Autumnville just sings autumn, right? Leaves are turning to 'golden', the air carries a crispness of 'autumn'....
This was a book I definitely wanted to include in the September Reads series.
BLURB:
Marigold Harper has spent
her whole life in Autumnville, a charming Vermont town where fall colors the
world in gold and cinnamon, and the scent of fresh cupcakes from her bakery
fills the streets. After losing her husband too young, Marigold built a quiet,
steady life — safe, simple, and closed off to anything that could hurt her
again.
Gabriel Reid is the last person Autumnville needs — a polished, big-city businessman sent to scout small towns for corporate buyouts. Cold. Calculated. Temporary.But from the moment he steps into Marigold’s bakery, nothing goes according to plan.
Against the pull of old fears and fresh mistakes, Marigold and Gabriel find themselves tangled in something real: gentle mornings setting up the fall festival, late-night talks under starlit skies, and a connection neither expected.
Until secrets come to light — and Marigold learns Gabriel’s true reason for coming to Autumnville. Now Gabriel must prove that some risks are worth taking — and that some places, and some loves, are too good to let slip away.
I loved the story. Maple Reed is great with description and putting you IN Autumnville. She paints a picture I could see in any Hallmark movie and I think while this book is only eighty-five pages, I think formatting a script from the length would be a challenge but I'm not sure how she could flesh the story out into a longer length without feeling like the words were just added filler. I would read more from Maple Reed.
My only problem with the story was the formatting. She needs to learn how to format a book. If you are going to join the ranks of Indie Authors, learn the things that make your book the best book ever.
I'd love to introduce her to Publish & Thrive where she can learn all the ins and outs to make her books stellar.
For the formatting as a huge issue, I'm giving Golden Days in Autumnville...

All my best!
