It is not everyday one inherits a plantation and a historic tavern located in New Orleans's French Quarter. However, this is what happened to Rebecca Brousseau when her beloved aunt died. Prior to her death, Rebecca's aunt gave her a family heirloom necklace which turns out to be much more than just a piece of jewelry.
This is an intriguing and enchanting story. It combines time travel, mystery and love seamlessly. The story is well crafted and easy to read. I am hoping for a sequel. Highly recommended.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Deep in Time is a pretty good clean, time travel romance. I did have a hard time getting into the book until about 40-50 pages. I am so glad I kept reading. It got so very good. There are some twists that I did not expect. I felt the ending was a little rushed and wished the book could have been a little bit longer.
Overall, I give Deep in Time three and a half stars. Definitely a worth a read.
I received this book from the author. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
Rebecca Brousseau had been living with her Aunt Emma every since her parents had died, together. Years later, now, Aunt Emma was moving toward the end of her life and Rebecca visited as often as she could. Rebecca, a haunted house tour guide worked odd and late hours, but took care to keep her Aunt in books and other special things each time she visited. But this time, her Aunt had a present for her as well, a beautiful antique necklace that apparently had been in the family for years, but for whatever reason, had never been worn by any family member...
Rebecca's lover and her Aunt's lawyer, Alex, had made all arrangements for Aunt Emily's entire estate to go to Rebecca. But when Rebecca lost her too soon, she wasn't worried about what she had inherited... So, when she finally felt she was able to deal with the legal aspects, she was surprised to learn that not only had she entertained the entire plantation, but also a local tavern, one Rebecca had never known was owned by her family...
Adjusting to her new responsibilities could take time, but, after moving into her Aunt's home, she also started going in to meet with the present manager, who she asked to stay on, and to get to know the business. She had never owned any property and felt a great responsibility... That feeling of responsibility was not welcomed by the man who had controlled all aspects of the Tavern for many years...
Before finishing her tour guide position, Rebecca was working one night, only to have a man, apparently dressed in costume, join the group. He introduced himself as Maddox and instead of watching the places they were touring, he kept his eyes on Rebecca...and the necklace she wore...
Not thinking too much about him, except from a personal point of her attraction to him, she was shocked, upon beginning to review what was in the attic of her new home, to find a picture of...the...man who she had just met on her last tour! The painting was dated a century ago...
Can a spell cast many years ago bring together true lovers? Readers will enjoy watching it happen! And also watch Rebecca as she takes on many new responsibilities and then... disappears... I must admit I had a few questions at the end--would I give up my life for what may be true love? Would you?
This is a fast read which flows smoothly from one calamity to another while we watch a young woman move into an entirely new, independent life that offers so very much...Wealth and riches or love... Karen Chalfant takes us Deep in Time to tell us this intriguing and enjoyable tale. Highly recommended.
Rebecca Brousseau, a New Orleans French Quarter haunted-tour guide, is a compassionate new age adult character drawn to full measure by Author Karen Chalfant in Deep In Time.
Beneath the surface suspense seeps into Rebecca’s life even before her romantic infatuation with Alex Masterton, a successful attorney. While their matrimonial bells pause on the upswing, blissful hope exists.
Masterful suspense is constant as visible and invisible threads build to an artful conclusion. Throughout, the reader is exposed to Rebecca’s family history, a uniquely costumed street character, and Aunt Emma. Before Aunt Emma’s untimely death, it is her special gift passed to Rebecca that is the fulcrum of the balance between reality and paranormal fantasy.
While this reader was provided a complimentary copy for an honest review, it would be devilish sport to reveal too many delicious tidbits. Suffice it to say, readers will find a character, if not Rebecca, to satisfy the mind or one’s loving soul.
Remember, this is New Orleans where, outside city streets, moss-draped plantations were a lifestyle unconnected to Bourbon Street, or not! If you dare, trust your divining senses, or intuition, or the portrait eyes you stare into.
Whatever you chose, you’ll be sure to enjoy a Deep In Time journey.

Surprised at how easily the story enfolds. Had not read the excerpt so had no idea of the author's writing style. I was pleasantly captured by the flow of the story.
The author was able to incorporate this story with sci-fi, fantasy, romance, and relevant abuse and still have the reader wondering what was going to happen in the end.
The author is able to use her imagination with these truly wonderful characters and allow the reader to become invested in their lives and their happenings.
There is a sense of the ridiculous and fantastical in the time travel twist of the story which in no way detracts but draws the reader in even more.
I was impressed with the development of the characters and the hint of Alex's personality early on but not until the end of the story--is he fully exposed. The author has enabled her readers to see a glimpse into a small part of one woman's life and how abuse crept into it while hidden in a veneer of love.
The end of the story was dramatic but appropriate and left the reader with a feeling of completion.
A truly remarkable read.
