About The Author
My Review
This heartwarming romance delivers a slow-burn love story filled with charm and sweetness. Autumn Haze, a dedicated nursing student, is determined to focus entirely on her studies, firmly upholding her “no men” rule until she completes her degree. To support herself, she secretly takes on work as a hired companion through Plus One. That’s when Dr. Jenson Edwards enters her life—a handsome, emotionally scarred doctor recovering from a public breakup—who hires Autumn to accompany him to an awards ceremony.
What starts as a professional arrangement gradually evolves into something more meaningful. The chemistry between Autumn and Jenson feels natural and engaging, with Jenson emerging as the ultimate book boyfriend—thoughtful, kind, and perfectly complementing Autumn’s driven personality. Autumn’s best friend, Lilly, brings humor, warmth, and grounded advice, adding an enjoyable dynamic to the story.
Though the story maintains a gentle pace and minimal drama until the climax, the emotional stakes remain heartfelt as both characters navigate the implications of their secret arrangement. This is a feel-good, low-drama contemporary romance, perfect for readers who love swoon-worthy connections and softly emotional love stories.
