How we scored them

The Shelf Score weighs fit for the reader, contents and edition, value, and the listed reading age or level where one is given. None of the five lists a reading age or grade level, so that part of the score is zero across the board. How we pick explains the weights.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each book’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score. Reading age or level counts on a list where at least one listing gives one, and a book whose listing gives none then scores zero on it. Where no listing gives one, the score is taken over the other 85 points. Books carry no warranty, so warranty is not scored.

How to choose the best romantasy books for fall

Series or standalone

The Honeycrisp Orchard Inn and Fall Inn Love are both Book 1 of 2 in their series, so the story continues past the last page. Falling Inn Love is Book 2 of 14, which means starting here skips the first book of its series. The other two list no series at all. If the reader likes to start at the beginning, see our best romantasy books for beginners for series starters.

How spicy

Fall Inn Love lists spicy scenes and a plus-size FMC, while Falling Inn Love is described as sweet and clean. The Honeycrisp Orchard Inn is described as cozy and sexy. Check the description’s own words before buying for someone else; the level varies book to book. For more autumn picks, see our best novels for fall.

Cozy romance, not fantasy

None of the five lists fantasy elements; these are contemporary cozy romances set in fall, with orchards, inns and harvest festivals. If the reader wants magic systems with the romance, these are not that. The fall setting is the through line, not the genre.

Before you buy

• Check the series position: two of these are Book 1 of 2, one is Book 2 of 14.
• Note the spice level from the description; it varies from sweet and clean to spicy scenes.
• Confirm the format: the Honeycrisp Orchard Inn lists 272 pages, the others state no page count.
