| This book is a treasury of four individual stories which absolutely captured my attention as few series do. Tabor Heights is a city that’s the brainchild of author Michelle Levigne. Through the books written to date, I have become fascinated with what is going on in this town as well as with the people who live there. I can visualize the town itself and the individual shops and other structures. Every time I read another Tabor Heights novel I feel as if I’m going back home.
Within this anthology we are introduced to new townspeople. We also are allowed to revisit old friends made when reading the previous books in her series. I am excited to see what will happen in her upcoming books. Levigne’s concept is absolutely inspired. Her creation of the town and its citizens is more proof of her ability to mesmerize her readers. She is able to give us romance without sexual content. These books within this anthology develop belief in God without being offensive. The first offering in this book was Cops and Bobbers which introduced police officer Mike Nichols and Trina Delveccio. Trina ran the summer recreation program in the city. Their romantic ‘hits and misses’ was entertaining and engaging. Troubleshooting gave us the story of Jake Conway and Bailey Malone. It gave us more of a suspenseful storyline with an intensity not usually presented in a shorter book. In the Air, On the Air told the story of John Whitcomb-Riley (aka Riley and Whit). He worked the midnight shift at the Christian radio station. He was interested in Gina Avallone, a woman he went to church with who thought she was in love with a man who worked in her Daddy’s company. Finally, From Turkey to Mistletoe was like watching God take care of Jenna Brady whose life and career was seemingly doomed by a disgruntled co-worker. Mitch Wilson was the man who literally was thrown into the mess created by Jenna’s vindictive supervisor. I cannot say enough about this book. It was spellbinding and I recommend it for everyone. Don’t dare miss this book!
