This is a story of love, pain, loss, hurt, forgiveness and re-love. 💞 In first chapter 1️⃣ itself, Ruhi 🙍🏻‍♀️ lost her love, Aman.💔 She is just one complaint, she couldn't get one memory together with her unborn son and her husband.👨‍👩‍👦 She couldn't catch one moment of complete family.😔 On other hand, Riaan has lost his career of MD🥼 due to an unfortunate situation.🥺 He then became an athlete.🏃🏻‍♂️ Riaan knows what he has done wrong 🙅🏻‍♂️ with Ruhi but Riaan is a stranger for Ruhi. They slowly fall in love 💝 but don't realise till the destiny entangles their lives. 💕
.
I have gone through a bunch of emotions 🤩 during their journey - happy, sad, laughter, pain and love. It was wonderfully explained that everyone loves in his/her own way.🥰 There is no single way to love. One can do anything to save his/her love and one can sacrifice their life just to save their love from future troubles. We should not judge anyone and just feel this beautiful feeling called LOVE! ❤️

The world is too small.
Life is too unpredictable.
Society is never going to be the reason behind your peace and happiness, don't let it be the reason behind your sadness.
.
These are the thoughts that were there in my mind, the whole time I was reading this book. I seriously believe if a book can give its reader something, the author has done a great job in writing it. This book has so much to offer.

🌻 BLURB-
The story revolves around Ruhi and Riaan.
Ruhi is a single mother and has been living her life in sadness after her husband Aman dies of cancer. Her son, Adi is an image of her mother's sadness and grief and on many occasions been presented as a sad child.

Riaan is an athlete and has his own fitness centre. He was just gotten the news of his long term girlfriend getting engaged. The reason for the breakup- a secret that no one in the world knows.

What will happen when these two lost souls collide? What is the secret that Riaan has? How is it related to Ruhi and what kind of destruction can it cause in their lives?
Read this emotional, heart-warming story to know more.
.
~The book is an emotional ride including love, hate, death, family and life.
~The language used is easy to understand yet some lines, some quotes will just stay with the readers for a long time.
~The plot is so good and interesting and while the whole tone of the book is romantic and emotional there is a little undertone of mystery too.
~The characters feel so real and all the emotions are depicted with such ease it is poetic and surreal.
~No doubt this is one of the best books I have read this year by far.

Rihaan-- “Do you think we are lucky to have felt that kind of love, or unlucky to feel that kind of pain?”
Ruhi-- “We are both, lucky as well as unlucky,”

This conversation snapped something in me, and I still have a thought or a question lingering in my heart - "Do I have the courage to witness it or even feel it, to undergo this hot turmoil of emotions."
It's not a normal love story between two protagonists and a villain. It's about love, breaking boundaries or how can one become selfish in love unintentionally. Sometimes we don't even know that "what we call love" is an obsession to own or to keep something to us only.
As said "sharing is carrying" love sometimes overshadow this aspect, the fear of losing someone cripple us so much, that we forget we might hurt the other person to hold a bit more, spent a few more moments and create life long memories..

“Love has different shades, and we share one shade of it...
Can we define all shades of love we have in our life.. Are all love between two people meant to be romantic?
Or
Is it beyond the measure where we can put a name or level to the love.. Henna love for Rihaan or Aman love for Ruhi can't be expressed in mere words or phrases, it's can be seen in their eyes or on the call when someone says "pull the plug".. A love I want to enjoy yet scared to experience..

Great writing language, lucid, expressive in emotions, character build-up and the plot with full of twist and turn to make a story to read on and on.. It left me with a need to know more about the story.. Although there is a closure yet I want more..

Do you like Autumn?
I always get amused by the autumn season. How beautifully nature embraces the change. “The Autumn of love” is a reflection of this beautiful season.
Ruhi is a would-be mother, who was living a loving and happy life with her husband. One day her world got devastated when he lost her husband Aman. Ruhi’s love for Aman was still deep, she was struggling to raise her son Adi in between the pain she was going through.
In between her path crossed Riaan. Riaan a handsome guy who was going through heartbreak because his love Ananya got engaged to someone else. Did two broken hearts take a second chance? Did they accept and flow with the change just like autumn?
This is a brilliantly written book full of emotions: love, pain, forgiveness, and sacrifice. The plot is engaging and unpredictable in the best ways and the character build-up is profound. If you are a romance lover then you must pick this read.

The story has two narrotors
1.
Ruhi and Aman were the most happy couples, until Aman was touched by the cold hands of cancer.Ruhi was pregnant when they came to know about this.She does everything she could do for his treatment, but fate take him away from her. That's how the story begins, her life then. The people she encounter then.

Book is available at amazon Kindle.🍂🍁

🍁“Sometimes, the world is against you,” he whispers. “It blames you for loving too much, too hard, too long, as if it’s your choice. As if it’s not pain that chooses you, but the other way round. People who find it easy to move on, will mock you, question you, as to what makes you hold on. But they don’t understand that everyone loves differently. You can’t teach anyone how to love, how to unlove, how to feel.In the same water where a lotus thrives, a cactus dies. You can’t force a lotus to thrive in deserts, you just can’t force it."

And as a reader I was stuck at this concrete paragraph for so long. This conversation flawlessly vouches for the fact that 'how petty & helpless all human beings are infront of of our destiny.'

Th Autumn of love is a short tale of love, hope, life's tragedy and most importantly about second chances. It's a story of Ruhi and Riaan who are both - parallely - forced to face some extremely perilous circumstances. These events of their lives are somehow tangled & become the reason for the collision of their paths. Ruhi who has lost her husband to cancer is a depressed single mother to a little boy Adi, a quiet and sad child. Riaan, an athlete is also trying to recover from the disastrous breakup with his lady love. Reason being his nature of keeping secrets. He holds some of the most dark secrets which turn the story unexpectedly. The story starts brewing up when Ruhi's and Riaan's paths collide.

What happens when their paths intersect? What is the secret Riaan has kept buried deep in his heart? Read the book to know more.

I simply loved the book. The writing style, poignant characters and the fast paced story is what kept me guessing what's gonna happen next? I completed the book in 3.5 hours and trust me I never got bored at any turn. This book portrays some harsh facts about our societal structure and how people hold us back. But instead of focusing on them how should we overcome the grief and try to learn loving with full zeal and passion.

Life always offers you a second chance. It’s called tomorrow. – Dylan Thomas

It is rightly said Life is a great teacher & Life teaches us in forms of experiences which may be good or bad.

This is a beautiful story where both the pratagonists Riyaan & Ruhi are still living in their dreadful past & not able to move ahead in life. Ruhi could not get over the grief of her dead husband even if it was impacting the happiness of her own son. She was leading a robotic life until she met Riyaan. Riyaan was at first stalking her to get his own closure. He was struggling whether he wanted revenge or forgiveness. When Ruchi’s son joined swimming classes at Riyaan’s club, their friendship stemmed. Although they both were broken but soon they realized there is always someone else who has it much worse than you do.
Writer has beautifully weaved their struggling emotions for each other & has concocted the story with a blend of love, sadness, heart break and emotions. There is no romance in this story but the way both the characters experience intense pain, it touches the heart of the reader. There are sudden twists in the story but not dramatic. This story is very much near to the real life where u will empathize with Ruhi’s pain & monetary helplessness to carry on medical expenses expenses of her dying husband, how her grief started affecting her son Adi, how small joys like a swimming class brought a change in Adi & how Riyaan & got their final closure.
While readers can relate with Ruhi’s suffering from page 1 but Riyaan’s secret remains suspense till last few chapters & that brings the major twists. When they both never met each other why Riyaan was looking for a closure will keep you hooked.

Overall a heart melting read by Alka which will stir your emotions. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to Alka.

Spoiler free review of the book - 'The Autumn of love' by author 'Alka Dimri Saklani'

Autumn of love is a book about Ruhi, a lady who looses her husband to cancer while she is pregnant. Her struggle while raising a 5 year old with full time job as a single mother, and her journey of finding herself back again.

It also talks about Riaan, a smart handsome lad who finally figures out to put his life back in place. But he has a secret, a secret that is sharp enough to cut all his threads that he spent gathering lifelong.

What happens when the two of them cross paths again and Ruhi is  unaware of the connection they had in the past?

Read the book to find out more.💫

My thoughts-

This book is a fictional romance, with a pinch of drama and a bucket full of emotions.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. It is a fast read.
The story is very well narrated and no part of it is stretched unnecessarily.

I could relate to every emotion written. I cried and chuckled while reading the book. It took me 4 hours and 15 minutes to complete the book and I devoured it all in a single sitting. I was awake the whole night just to complete one more chapter... and one more .. and one more.

I liked the writing style of the author, deep insight of characters is provided without boring the readers.
The book shares Pov's of both the characters and it easily grabs the attention of it's readers.

My Rating - 4.5/5 ⭐
Author - Alka Dimri Saklani
My favourite quote -

'As if it’s not pain that chooses you, but the other way round. People who find it easy to move on, will mock you, question you, as to what makes you hold on. But they don’t understand that everyone loves differently. You can’t teach anyone how to love, how to unlove, how to feel'

Final say - If you are a sucker for romance and love to read books that make you cry.. you should definitely give this book a try! I am really looking forward to read more of  authors work! ❤️

Rihaan- “Do you think we are lucky to have felt that kind of love, or unlucky to feel that kind of pain?”
Ruhi- “We are both, lucky as well as unlucky,”

✨Authour: Alka Dimri Saklani
✨Genre: Romantic Suspense
✨Published: March 2021

⚡The Autumn of Love is a short story about love, pain, loss, sacrifice, forgiveness and second chances. The story takes us through lives of Ruhi and Rihaan and their pain which they have been hiding from their loved ones and dealing with silently on their own.

💫No one wants to be separated from their loved ones but sometimes it’s inevitable. There is no guarantee how long we have with someone. We have no control over it.
But what we can control is, how we spent our life, our time with someone. We should live in the present and enjoy every second of our lives. No one can take away our happiness from us if we decide to be happy.

💫Can you love someone you are supposed to hate? Also, can you hate someone you love? Messed up right.
The story has so much pain and yet you don’t want to stop reading it. You want to know all about Ruhi and Rihaan and the untold secrets.
It is a story of pain and loss but also of hope and second love.

💫 It takes a lot of courage and determination to leave our pain behind. But it can become easier with one step at a time, a step to drag us out of our misery and sadness, a step towards happiness. We need just one person in our life to help us, challenge us to make that effort; to take that step towards happiness.
💫Can Ruhi and Rihaan help each other to overcome their pain and find their way back to happiness?

✨The story is interesting and captivating. There is an element of mystery, which keeps you hooked.
✨The language is very easy to understand and the reading is effortless.
✨The characters melt your heart at every step. They make you cry, smile, and laugh with them.
✨The selfless love and care depicted by the characters took my heart away.

The Autumn of Love: Can you love someone you can't forgive is a romantic fiction written by Alka Dimri Saklani. The main protagonist of the book is Ruhi and Riaan. Ruhi lost his husband Aman due to cancer, five years ago but still she is not able to cope up with the trauma in her life.

Similarly, Riaan has lost his career in MD and now he is an athelete. There is some connection between them but they're strangers to each other. The story will reveal all the further things between them.

The cover page of the book is very sweet and beautiful. After looking the cover page, I fall in love with the subtle theme in it. The title is also suitable for the book and perfect for the plot. The language used in the book is simple and understandable to all the people.

The narration of the book is also lucid and everything is explained very well. The ending of the book was quite predictable but I love the plot of it. There was something unique in the plot, with both the characters livin' their life with some trauma or past things in their life.

Both have lost something but there life are entangled together. They have more things in common that's why they fall in love. Forgiveness is a bliss but you can't forgive everyone.

It is short read with perfect and discrete plot, I loved the character of Ruhi. She was fierce and very inspiring. Overall, it is a nice book and it is a one time read for me. I'll recommend it to all the romantic fiction lovers.

"Isn't autumn brutally beautiful? It detatches the leaves from the tree, which were once inseparable. But the tree has to start anew, to shelter the birds that still look for a home in its branches, to shade the growing shrub beneath it... and for itself... Because autumn is not an end, it's the beginning of a new spring, just like the autumn of love."



Ruhi, a single mother, lives in the memories of her late husband. Riaan too, on the other hand, is somehow trying to rebuild his life.

But destiny made them fall for each other - willingly or unwillingly. But as Riaan's secrets regarding their common past comes out, the question arises is, was it she who ruined his life, or was it he who wronged her?

First of all, I was fascinated by the beauty of the cover, plus such an intriguing title gave me high hopes. Though I really loved the blurb, the book couldn't meet up to my expectations. But I'm really sure that had I not judged the book beforehand, I could have enjoyed it better.

The language and writing is really good and the author has potrayed the emotions very well. Or, we can also call it as a emotional read. All the characters are well developed and I felt that the main concept of the book is 'How far you can go for your love!'

Overall it is a fresh plot and a good one time read, though a bit predictable.

"Isn’t autumn brutally beautiful? It detaches the leaves from the tree, which were once inseparable. The leaves must go with the wind, blend with the earth, but the tree must survive, it must yield new leaves."

Ruhi is struggling to come to terms with the tumult that destiny made her face. When her only reason to live is her little son Aditya, her path crosses with Riaan. Apparently, they have a sensitive chord that connects their past that isn't too pleasant. They are two broken souls and the tie-in that prospers brims with rage, agony, attraction and guilt. Will they ever heal? Or does it lead to a darker future?

More than plot, this book is more about emotions for me. The positive and negative emotions that wreck us and heal us are so powerfully expressed through the emotional battles of Ruhi and Rihaan. The author shows that the emotions - rage, love, lust, sadness, happiness - on the basis of which we are constantly validated and judged, are as pure as anything else in the nature.

What I also loved is the way autumn is used as the symbol of broken souls who have their own glory despite their wounds and scars. I was totally absorbed in this impassioned narrative and my heart went out to this unique love story.

Muffled with Emotions


Can you love someone who can't forgive? Even the novel cover page begins with the question. Then how the readers can't? We can live with the person whom we hate. Then why can't love?

Autumn gives the spring. Why can't the faded love gives the mutual relationship?



Here the protagonist Ruhi lost her marriage life. Her husband died in cancer. Her only hope her son. He is in grief. So, her life becomes throne full world.



Riaan regained his future in career. But lost in his love life. His hard work paid by the God in career. But his long love has met a breakup without unknown reason.



How the opposite poles met the life together?

Are they opposite poles or made for each other?

How they met again in their life?

What is the secret of Riaan's past life?

Which blurb gives the grief in between them?

Did they United? is the story.



The storyline gives the emotional block. This novel has muffled love, pain, grief, forgiveness, sad, lost. Language is lucid to comprehend the storyline. The author intention is giving life in autumn, Love in grief, Mutual relationship in forgiveness.





I recommend this book for young adults.

This book revolves around a woman named Ruhi, who lost her husband Aman unfortunately while being pregnant. And as we all can understand how difficult it is to raise a child without your partner. In between, she met Riaan who was also facing heartbreak because his girlfriend was about to marry someone else. This is a book full of emotions: love, pain, forgiveness, and much more if you like reading romance then you must pick this read.

Generally, people raise questions on the life choices of a woman being involved with the other man after being a widow. 

I want to ask you all, that what should Ruhi do now? Should she consider spending a life with Riaan or just carry on with her kid Adi without having a love life. Tell me in the comments below.

The story is based on 2 main characters- Ruhi and Riaan. Ruhi is a widow with a 5-year-old child. She has had a depressing past that plays a major role in squashing her hopes for a second chance at finding love. Riaan too has had a difficult past and is dealing with a heart-break. Life dealt a tough hand which taught him to make no mistakes and be determined to build a better life.

They come in contact and slowly form a sweet bond, unaware of their entangled past. Before they could act on their feelings, the secrets of Riaan's past get revealed, putting both of them in a dilemma. How far have their pasts destroyed them? What are their secrets? How are their past connected? All this is revealed later in the book through a well-explored, detailed plot!

It is a well-paced story with lucid narration and simple language. The character development is interesting and inspiring. The book does have a few twists but is pretty predictable which was a huge let-down for me. But apart from that, the title of the book is apt and the cover is simply gorgeous. Recommended to all those looking for a sweet, romantic-fiction read with a HEA!!

🎑SYNOPSIS: Whenever I thought about autumn it made me feel that nothing is permanent by looking at the fallen leaves from trees. The tittle of the book is somewhere talks about the same when we finish reading this book. Ruhi and Reyaan both are the lead characters of this book.Ruhi who has lost her husband five years back and still not able to manage the void and feels that she will never fall for anyone. On the other hand Reyaan who is trying to build his live and does not have any scope for mistake. What will happen when they both will intersect the path.

🎑NOVELTY: Though the back drop of the story is love but I love the way author has explored other emotions as well while holding the base.

🎑GUESSWORK: This book has elements of suspense as well. Thus there are certain moments we try to guess the plot but in real it doesn't happen.

🎑LANGUAGE: The language has been kept simple and narration flows in apt way along with story.

🎑FINAL CALL: This book talks about nuances of every emotion and will also compel to think beyond. Overall a light and breezy read for everyone.

Although both of them know about their past and their struggles they have now,
They couldn't stop themselves from getting attracted to each other.
To know about their past connection and the way in which they get united
Grab this book!


The writing style is simple.
The book is definitely a bit emotional.
The author did a good job in making the book touching.
✨✨✨✨✨
The thing that I loved in this book is that this is not a normal love story with a hero,heroine, villian.
This is about the true feelings one posses when he/she falls in love.
This is a book which gives us a fresh feeling.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A good read

Autumn is all about the transitory nature of the earth. The tittle of the book  somewhere talks about the same when we finish reading this book. Ruhi and Reyaan both are the protagonists of the book.

Ruhi who had lost her husband five years ago but was still not able to manage the void and sadness due to the loss of the love of her lives ,feels that she will never fall for anyone. 

On the other hand Reyaan is trying to build his live and doesn't have any scope for mistakes in his life. What will happen when their paths intersect.

 This book talks about nuances of every emotion and will also compels one to think beyond. The language has been kept simple. Overall a light and breezy read for everyone.

Can you love the person who has hurted you badly?

Really a heart- touching love story of Riaan and Ruhi.
Riaan and Ruhi were silently walking through their own path, when they came in contact.
Both of them were facing the impacts of their bitter past.
And most importantly they were the reason behind each-other's bitter past, which they found latterly.
This particular plot is crafted so beautifully I must say.
But now on one side they are having immense love for each-other and on the other hand, their faults. Can they forgive each-other and let their love win.
But your heart gets really badly hurt when  your loved one hurt you.
Forgiving is the main theme of this story, really unique love-story plot.
And I like the writing style of the author - some catchy dialogues make this story stands out but the author should give proper name to each story chapter else it is thoroughly enjoyable.

A hearfelt yet heartaching story,this book is about Ruhi, a widow and single mother exhausting her existence into the harsh realities of life with responsibilities . With no hope fpr feelings or love in her life , she crosses path with Riaan , the hardworking make it happen and want all good rhings in life kinda guy. His life turns around with her and slowly they develop a connection.

The turn comes when Ruhi get to know about his past and how that affected her miserably. A second chance ?? To falling in love again, To forgiving Riaan, To love him again ,To accept his past. Will she choose a second chance for him and herself?? What is Riaan's unforgivable sin??

The answer to these and the many questiond about love , forgiveness, chances and choices that this book will make you ask yourself are vividly hidden in this book with its catchy dialogues and good writing style.

Highly Recommended to love and life genre readers.

Theirs was a different kind of love. Love that was real... so much so that it felt unreal ✨

Narrated by both of it's protagonist this is the heart touching story of Ruhi and Riaan.

Ruhi is devastated after losing Aman and struggling to live her life as a single mother.

Riaan , a broken heart man who tries to build his life after he realised that the love of his life is engaged to someone else. He is filled with revenge and forgiveness whenever he sees Ruhi. But why .?

There is one thing that is common in both of them. They both lost someone that left void in their life that was unrepairable until they met each other .

How in this whole wide world did they two end up at the same place ?
What's future holds for them ?
Will they be able to love themselves ?


Well Read to know that.

I liked the deep connection that the protagonist shared but the story is full of twist and turns but also predictable at points. Go for it if you are looking for a light and easy read.

Book is available at amazon Kindle.🍂🍁


🍁“Sometimes, the world is against you,” he whispers. “It blames you for loving too much, too hard, too long, as if it’s your choice. As if it’s not pain that chooses you, but the other way round. People who find it easy to move on, will mock you, question you, as to what makes you hold on. But they don’t understand that everyone loves differently. You can’t teach anyone how to love, how to unlove, how to feel.In the same water where a lotus thrives, a cactus dies."

as a reader I was stuck at this concrete paragraph for so long. This conversation flawlessly vouches for the fact that 'how petty & helpless all human beings are infront of our destiny. And how the society dictate its ruthless terms & stereotypes on us.

Th Autumn of love is a short tale of love, hope, life's tragedy and most importantly about second chances. It's a story of Ruhi and Riaan who are both - parallely - forced to face some extremely perilous circumstances. These events of their lives are somehow tangled & become the reason for the collision of their paths. Ruhi who has lost her husband to cancer is a depressed single mother to a little boy Adi, a quiet and sad child. Riaan, an athlete is also trying to recover from the disastrous breakup with his lady love. Reason being his nature of keeping secrets. He holds some of the most dark secrets which turn the story unexpectedly. The story starts brewing up when Ruhi's and Riaan's paths collide.

What happens when their paths intersect? What is the secret Riaan has kept buried deep in his heart? Read the book to know more.

I simply loved the book. The writing style, poignant characters and the fast paced story is what kept me guessing what's gonna happen next? I completed the book in 3.5 hours and trust me I never got bored at any turn. It teaches us how to break the walls we build to protect ourselves from pain and allow love to bloom on the barren land of our heart again It'sct pick for people who love to read romance with a slight touch of mystery.

MY RATING 3.7/5 🌟
"...one reason I fear sleeping anymore. Because though sleep brings me a few hours of solace, waking up shatters my dreams and my pain becomes anew, fresh, raw."
What will you do when your loved ones leaves you forever or betrays you even after having a healthy relationship?
Ruhi; the female protagonist who suffered the death of her beloved husband while Nurturing their 5 year old kid and Riaan; an accomplished sports person who deals with a heartbreak with his long term girlfriend. Both in the rarest case scenario haven't thought about they can love anyone else in their entire life. Will they be able to make it happen? Will they ever feel the feeling of love again?
The authoress has captured the emotions of love, friendship, companionship, trust and heartbreak quite raw and real. The narration and storytelling is pretty decent with the length of the book is also not too long. Written as simple as ABC, overall nice one time read and quite apt for beginners.

Can you love someone you can’t forgive??

🍁COVER AND TITLE
The cover is mesmerising and depicting autumn beautifully. This rhetorical question imprinted on the cover is answered eventually in a skilful manner.

🍁 ABOUT THE BOOK
This novel is truly arresting. Though it started with some pain which has its tint throughout the story and ultimately transforms into love after the sturm and drang.
The story begins with Ruhi, who was a loving wife and would-be mother, People who are in love always feel that they will never be separated but destiny always has some secrets in its lap. Aman, the husband of Ruhi was a cancer patient and left Ruhi broken with unsaid and expressed love to their unborn child.
Life was filled with fear and apprehension for Ruhi which made her life overcoated with sadness that also cast its shadow on her son Adi.
As she was going through all the mishappenings, she met with Riaan, a guy who followed her even which Ruhi detested.
Anyways, misunderstandings were clear. But they both were not normal and after meeting in the pool some proximity was seen in their relationship but not that way. Riaan was the owner of the pool by destiny and Ruhi brings Adi for swimming classes to get over his sadness.


Still both Ruhi and Riaan we're connected. Riaan was much inclined to her.

Will she be able to forgive Riaan??
