"Gracie charms and entices with this launch of the Regency-era
Chance Sisters series. Orphaned governess Abigail Chantry receives
the astonishing news that her younger sister, Jane, has been
abducted and is captive in a brothel. Abby rescues Jane with the
assistance of housemaid Daisy and fellow captive Damaris; the four
bond together but struggle to make ends meet. Desperate, Abby
breaks into a house-and meets ailing, charming Lady Beatrice
Davenham, who has nothing worth stealing but could use some
company. She takes in the four "Chance" sisters as her purported
nieces, but the deception falters upon the return from overseas of
her handsome nephew, Max. Abby's warmth and caring nature shine
from the first moment, and Max's dedication to his family and
friends make him worthy of her love. Layers of secrets and deft
characterization make for a deep, rich story that will leave
readers starry-eyed." -Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
"A complex, charming heartwarmer that celebrates love, brave
heroines and the miracle of second chances." --Kirkus
Reviews
"Abigail Chantry sprints across London rooftops and into the window
of an abandoned mansion in search of something to sell in order to
save her sister and friends from a life on the streets. What she
doesn't expect is to be greeted by an elderly lady asking, "Have
you come to kill me?" and then being taken in by the woman. ...
Delightful Jane Austen quotes introduce each chapter and add to the
fun. VERDICT With a pair of beautifully matched protagonists and
some particularly despicable villains, this funny, dangerously
addictive page-turner is a hands-down Regency winner; the rest of
the series can't come fast enough. -Library Journal
"I honestly can't remember the last time I've enjoyed a book quite
this much.... I predict The Autumn Bride is going to be
"THE" book to add to the TBR list of Historical Romance fans
everywhere." --Night Owl
"Readers will want to take a chance on this delightful,
heartwarming series about sisters of the heart, family, friends,
and the fun and passion of romance. Gracie lifts readers' spirits,
creating a delightful cast of characters, tender moments and
lighthearted repartee designed to tug at the heart. Keep a hankie
handy for tears of laughter and joy." --Romantic Times
"A warm and well-crafted romance novel, perfectly setting the stage
for the stories to follow in Anne Gracie's new "Chance Sisters
Romance" series....Heartfelt, charming and wonderfully paced,
The Autumn Bride is full of emotionally rich characters,
witty conversation and Anne Gracie's characteristic expert
storytelling, guaranteed to leave readers with this story stamped
on their hearts." --Reader to Reader
"There is nothing more enjoyable then a beautifully written, sweet
romance where you watch two people fall in love-and The Autumn
Bride is precisely that. -Heroes and Heartbreakers
"I loved this romp through the nineteenth century, an entertaining
rags to riches story..... I suggest you pick up THE AUTUMN BRIDE
and laugh and cheer. I did. -Fresh Fiction
"I loved everything about this book-the "sisters" who create a
family out of affection and need, the hero as disillusioned boy and
as honorable man, and the gallant, all together wonderful Lady
Beatrice, who almost steals the book from the lovers. From page
one, I was engaged with this story. When Abby assures the three
younger girls that "It doesn't hurt to dream," and the four share
their dreams of what they want from life, I was in up to my heart.
.... I didn't allow a small thing like the need to sleep keep me
from the story. I finished it in the wee hours, knowing that Anne
Gracie had created another world that I would want to visit again
and again. I can't wait for Book 2." --JustJanga
"What an absolutely enchanting story!!" --EBookObsessed
