About this listen
Beloved author Molly Harper launches a brand-new contemporary romance series, Southern Eclectic, with this story of a big-city party planner who finds true love in a small Georgia town.
Nestled on the shore of Lake Sackett, Georgia, is the McCready Family Funeral Home and Bait Shop. (What, you have a problem with one-stop shopping?) Two McCready brothers started two separate businesses in the same building back in 1928, and now it's become one big family affair. And, true to form in small Southern towns, family business becomes everybody's business.
Margot Cary has spent her life immersed in everything Lake Sackett is not. As an elite event planner, Margot's rubbed elbows with the cream of Chicago society and made elegance and glamour her business. She's riding high until one event goes tragically, spectacularly wrong. Now she's blackballed by the gala set and in dire need of a fresh start - and apparently the McCreadys are in need of an event planner with a tarnished reputation.
As Margot finds her footing in a town where everybody knows not only your name but what you had for dinner last Saturday night and what you'll wear to church on Sunday morning, she grudgingly has to admit that there are some things Lake Sackett does better than Chicago - including the dating prospects.
Elementary school principal Kyle Archer is a fellow fish out of water who volunteers to show Margot the picture-postcard side of Southern living. The two of them hit it off, but not everybody is happy to see an outsider snapping up one of the town's most eligible gentleman. Will Margot reel in her handsome fish, or will she have to release her latest catch?

okay - quite slow
Have enjoyed other books by author more - tighter writing, or better editing, and more humour/witty commentary. romance aspect was thinly developed, so didn't really make sense when Kyle responded poorly to Margot saying she was leaving- his response seemed to indicate a relationship with him and his daughters that had not been written about, like a whole chapter was missing. would not recommend.

Loved this audio book.
This is a light hearted and funny book, I really enjoyed it and didn't want to stop listening to get on with life (boring) so had it playing at every opportunity.

How rampaging flamingos gave Margot true love.
Margot is an event planner whose last event in Chicago goes terribly awfully wrong. Flamingos and shrimp were involved and it turned ugly.
Now unemployed and pretty much unemployable in her chosen profession the only choice left to her is with the extended family whom she’s been estranged from since she was a baby.
Margot is about to enter a ‘brave new world’ in Georgia.
....but it turns out to be not so bad.
Loved this book. From Molly Harper’s down home prose and quirky, very loveable characters, to Amanda Ronconi’s fantastic narration it’s a funny, heartwarming way to spend a few hours. Guaranteed.

Such a disappointment
I had high hopes for this book. The premise should have been tried and true but it was just so poorly done.
The lead character reads too much into her so called relationship for most of the story to the point you feel sorry for the poor guy she’s clearly stalking.
Storylines that could have been fleshed our more just aren’t.
Then nearing the end the cousins husband is randomly brought into the story as though the author remembered he hadn’t really been mentioned since being introduced ten chapters earlier and felt guilty about it.
I was tempted to pull the pin with 2 hours to go but hung in there hoping it would redeem itself.... it didn’t.

ruined by chipmunks
A big fan of snarky books I had settled in for a fun evening... then it happened, the chipmunk voice.
Was the occasional helium balloon given to the narrator? Did the audio engineers knock a button?
After a while, I was so distracted by the random change of voice to chipmunk that I lost track of the story.
Not your best work...

disappointing
I love Molly Harper's easy reading Style. this book had potential but fell short of the mark. it lacked relationship development with love interest and the father. Perhaps these were deleted during proof-reading because there seemed to be references to events I don't really reading about? the lead character was unlikeable from the beginning. the love interest was standoffish and gave the impression that they wanted nothing more than a fling.
Amanda did a great job narrating.
