Story
Overnight, a shiny new business opens on Chancey, Georgia’s Main Street, with a manager straight from New York City, who doesn’t find the South charming, at all. Carolina’s bookstore is also opening on Main Street. If she can keep Patty’s mind on books instead of a new romance. Then, when a secret wedding catches everyone off guard, a springtime tornado in Chancey just seems like icing on the cake. (Wedding cake, that is.) Trains still run by Crossings, the B and B for rail road enthusiasts. Ruby still sells coffee and muffins. And kids still get out of school for the summer.

Story
Jewel Mantelle has never lived in the South, much less on the coast, so moving from Chicagoland to the historic North Florida coastal town of Sophia Island seems like just the adventure to fix her marriage. However, when she arrives, she finds that it’s awfully hot and humid there and that these Southern folks really like to hug. Her husband’s past on the island includes a creaky old house in the historic district and lots of nosy relatives he’d forgotten to mention.

Story
After a brush with death at the tender age of nine, Faer Michelson has a near-perfect autobiographical memory. He has a good life, a loving wife, and he's only mildly concerned about Y2K. Sure, no one else remembers Bobby Kennedy was president or that time an alien took over the TV to declare war, but what's that in the grand scheme of things? Then one day Faer remembers something that he can't shrug off: his own death in 1968. It turns out the Time Warp isn't just a song in Rocky Horror.

Mary floated across the room, shaking her hands in frustration. Finally, she turned back to Mike. “When will the men in my life realize that no one is responsible for watching over me?” she asked sadly. “I am a grown woman. I am a former police officer. I am not some hot-house flower that can’t handle my own life and my own safety.” Victoria sighed loudly and rolled her eyes.

Yet all it takes is a few heart-wrenching seconds to upend Kit’s world. Live coverage of a club fire in Auckland has captured the image of a woman stumbling through the smoke and debris.

With it comes a flood of emotions - grief, loss, and anger - that Kit finally has a chance to put to rest: by finding the sister who’s been living a lie.

Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

Make no mistakes about it. I know what I look like to others. Young, government-aided, pregnant mom. They see Lucy on my hip, and they see a mistake. I mean, why else would someone have a child so young, right? They couldn’t be more wrong. I’m too busy most days between parenting, work, and finishing up my last year of nursing school to let their judging gaze tear me down, until he moves into the vacant house next to the apartments I live in.

Publisher's Summary
Should she jump?
When the train is headed for disaster, the engineer can jump out, right?
Carolina knew moving teenagers from the Atlanta suburbs to a small Georgia mountain town was a horrible idea. She knew opening a B&B was an even worse plan. She can’t see around the next curve, but....
Should she jump?
Oncoming headlights aren’t only aimed at her family, the town of Chancey is being set up for a collision that could change everything. And as that unfolds, Carolina’s husband Jackson is smack dab in the middle of it all, his hand on the throttle, going full steam ahead.
Should she jump?
Would you?

The Chancey Story continues...and so delightfully
This audiobook was provided to me for an honest review.
To be honest, when I was gifted the first three books, I wondered if I should have just requested the first one in case they were disappointing. (Better to have to write one review than three, eh?) But WOW! I was so engaged in the town of Chancey by the time I was half way through the second book, I went to Audible and purchased the rest of the series. I LOVE these stories.
Kay Dew Shostak hit the mark on small towns. I grew up in one, and she understands how they work. Her characters are pretty accurate in most small town politics – one dominant leader (also known as a bossy know-it-all), people with assertive personalities (the fun people) who work around the dominant leader, and then the followers (everyone else that wants to stay neutral). It makes for a fun mix in a tiny town where gossip travels faster than a speeding bullet.
Her characters draw you into their lives and before you know it, you feel like you live there too.
There is no murder, no violence or descriptive sex – just good clean stories. If you want to just lose yourself in a book (or preferably the whole series), I recommend these audiobooks. You’ll come out of it feeling quite satisfied!

Love Everything Chauncey
Another great book in the series. These stories are so true to the lives that the average person lives. I love that the storylines are relatable and the characters come with flaws and all. I snickered so many times when reading this as it made me think of all the drama I’ve had with family throughout my life time. In the end though, it’s those that drive us the most nuts that we truly love the most. Thanks for writing such a wonder story that shows just how important friends and family really are.

Love this series
I loved this series from the start however this book was filled with some turmoil that I did not like. I like the couple and the family to be solid but they were on shaky ground which did not sit well with me. Basically, this series is a cozy one with great, likeable characters along with bits of knowledge sprinkled in. I am looking forward to the next one in the series. Anyone have a free code?

Another great story. This book is as good as the previous volumes. A story most people can related to in some way. Small town life and its ups and downs.
Loved the narration. Suzanne Barbetta makes the story come to life.

This IS small town llife...
If you have never lived in a small town, you really won't understand how true this series of books are. The mom, Carolina, is realizing how hard it is to move from a bustling town of Atlanta to a slow moving, everyone knows everyone (and in your business) life. Best of all, as a passive/aggressive Mom, who LOVES HER KIDS, she is willing to do whatever it takes to make her family happy. Even if she is not sure that she is happy doing it. I love Carolina. I love the 'in your face' Lainey, the 'this is how it is' Susan and...Mrs...well...she reminds me of an Aunt I have, so how could I not love her, as well.
I got a bit aggravated with Jackson and his attitude about the B&B that HE wanted, but has nothing to do with, but Carolina makes it work.
Suzanne Barbetta is perfect as the narrator for this series. Her southern charm, the nuances of her voice, the flow in which she tells the story all bring the characters to life.
I love this series and HIGHLY recommend it!

Carolina feels like the discarded new toy when a child is tired of it. After a few mishaps Jackson is still not really talking to her nor is most of the town. It can really wear on a person. Then come Jackson’s work is brought and a new plant in town and the woman he’s working with and this all spells disaster. That is until her friends but in! Fantastic narration so easy to listen to!

Great narration and easy listen - lovely story
This was such a fun listen but also had some interesting lessons. Can just imagine my teenage sons when they were like that, and so expect my daughter to be like Savannah in a year or so. She is already a cheerleader princess.
Again it is hard to describe the story or genre it is just easy listening and I am loving the muffin ideas. I am experimenting them whilst listening.
I was given a free copy by the author but this did not impact my review.
