De: Whitney Dineen

Narrado por: Tiffany Morgan

When Lexi Blake was 12 years old, a fortune teller gave her the following cryptic message: In your 30th year, once the dog jumps over you, your life will change in the most unexpected ways.

Lexi is 30 now, and the following unexpected things have occurred:

• While walking through Central Park enjoying a beautiful fall day, Lexi eats dirt when a careless dog owner throws a frisbee at her head. A dog jumps over her.
• Lexi gets a promotion that pays less than her current job.
• Her crush announces that he's engaged.
• Her apartment turns condo and she can't afford the down payment.

In order to escape her bad luck, she takes a vacation to visit a good friend in Creek Water, Missouri. But as it turns out, fate has a lot more in store for Lexi Blake.

beautiful story

Love the historical family references and the wholesome writing with twist and turns one after the other. the he truths in this writing are amazing

Just a feel good story.

Loved the family connections! The southern hospitality was fun to read about. Can’t wait to read the 3rd book in the series.

Sweet, funny story

This book was just what I needed, lighthearted and fun. I found myself laughing quite a few times. The narrator was great!

Cute small town romance

Cute story girl from Big City comes to visit a friend in a small town and falls in love with an old house and the realtor. Low drama just sweet clean romance.

Ok. too repetitive from book 1

The narration was much better in this book 2 since the main characters didn't need the over exaggerated southern drawl.

The story, however, took 2 steps (stars) back.
First, there were just too many ideas repeated from book 1. Where the interactions were cleaver and hilarious in book 1, revisiting a version of the same thing in book 2 felt stale. Because of this, the romance between Lexy and Beau had no chemistry. Plus, they were both so underhanded and 2 faced I never came to like either character. Their connection felt forced, wrapping it all in prophecies was not well explained and felt thrown in to just complete the match.

The back story about unknown ancestry was good, but the pyschic thing really fell flat. Also, several interesting storylines were opened, but once the ending neared, everything was too rushed and with simplistic or incomplete conclusions. Explaining every thread in an epilog is lazy and anti-climatic.
I felt cheated and wished a couple more chapters had been written to really develop and organically explain fates of all the characters.
