This continues the story of the Chance brothers. The six Chance brothers each have their own story beginning with California Chances. In this book, the brides are from Kentucky.

Last Chance by Cathy Marie Hake: Widow Lovejoy Spencer escorts her sister and 2 neighbor girls who are to marry the MacPherson brothers, former residents of the mountain community in Kentucky, to Reliable, California. She wants to be sure the three brothers will be good husbands before she returns to Salt Lick Holler. But she keeps running into widower Daniel Chance and his 2 young daughters and the rest of the Chance family. She has many occasions to use her vast knowledge of remedies as the healer in Salt Lick Holler. When it comes time for her to return home, will Daniel be able to let her go?

Chance Adventure by Kelly Eileen Hake: Logan Chance dreams of having some adventures before he settles down. He's heard so much about Salt Lick Holler, Kentucky, that he decides that will be a great place to have some adventures. So he and his youngest brother Bryce travel there hoping to hunt and fish and maybe find God's will for their life. Of course they come bearing gifts from the MacPherson brides, so end up staying in the barn of Widow Willow Hendrick who has continued as the healer when Lovejoy left. She is training Hattie Thales in the art of yarbs and healing. Will Logan's adventure turn to love?

Chance of a Life Time by Kelly Eileen Hake: Bryce is quiet and doesn't say much, but he's made an attachment with little Jamie Thales and his widowed ma Daisy. He decides to stay the winter at Salt Lick Holler and court Daisy. She's lost a lot in her young life and having a 5-year-old son with palsy demands most of her time and abilities to make a living. She doesn't want pity or charity. Can she turn everything to God so she can find love again?

I love reading these stories where each leads right into the next and continues on.
