Synopsis (Goodreads):

Autumn has always felt a soul-shattering pull to her stepbrother, Hunter. The only problem is that they’ve never met. But this Thanksgiving they’re finally going to meet and when they do, all her desires will be confirmed.

Hunter Danvers has lost a lot, and seeing his father marry a nightmare of a stepmother, he thinks he’s lost him, too. He reluctantly comes home for Thanksgiving. And then everything he knows to be true changes.

Warning: Get stuffed with insta-love, a secret baby, and gravy puns galore! This glossed-over holiday just got a reason to be celebrated, and it has nothing to do with the cranberry sauce!

Thoughts on Thankful for Her: I fully expect an over-the-top romance whenever I pick up an Alexa Riley book AND I AM NEVER DISAPPOINTED. Never. The attraction hits hard and fast and it pulls the characters under ruthlessly.

It's FANTASTIC!

In the case of Autumn and Hunter, Autumn's attraction to her stepbrother is more instinct than anything since they've never met. Her stepfather is the world's biggest sweetheart, while her mother is...the polar opposite of that. She's not sweet. She prefers to keep Autumn hidden away and out of her hair. So when circumstances (and an insistent stepfather) bring the entire family together for Thanksgiving, Autumn is finally going to see if her bone deep attraction to Hunter is everything she believes it to be.

While things don't necessarily turn out they way she dreams, she does end up in a good place. Eventually. I'm not just talking about Hunter's bed, either. THINGS HAPPEN, OKAY? Good things.

And something shocking at the end. DUN DUN DUN!
