I have been looking for Fall Romance-themed books to read. Books that include fall-themed topics (such as fall festivals, Halloween, homecoming, paranormal activities, or football). Cozy and seasonal activities that put you in the mood for fall. It was a difficult task especially if trying to find books by Black authors. It took a while, but I have seen some books. These are the ones I have read or plan on reading.
The Dating Playbook
Taylor Powell is a fitness instructor who needs new clients. When a professional football player takes her fitness class, it appears that business might improve. He wants her to be his new trainer. She agrees but soon realizes that they are attracted to one another. Taylor has no dating policy with her clients.
All this goes out the window when Jamar Dixon and she get attention. Dixon does not want anyone to know that he has a fitness instructor. His goal is to reenter the league successfully, without any setbacks. She agrees because she has bills to pay.

This book was exceptional and left me feeling satisfied. I love how Taylor was a badass woman who knew how to take care of herself. She was a breath of fresh air because she did not give the vibes of being a damsel in distress.
