    Description

    At twenty-one, Abby Callahan leaves her parent’s home for a rented motel room in Redford’s Crossing. She has no friends, let alone a boyfriend, so why did she tell her controlling sister she’s bringing a date to a family party? With only one week and no prospects, she needs a miracle.

    Rory St. George needs a cashier for the store he manages, and Abby is the perfect choice. When he invites her out, hoping to propose a job offer, she agrees to go---if he will accompany her to a family party. Rory’s plans don’t include a relationship, but he’s drawn to Abby in a way he didn’t anticipate.

    A series of misfortunes threaten to end their relationship before it begins. With the odds stacked against them, can their newfound love survive? She’s new in town. He’s from the wrong side of town.

    When disaster strikes, can love turn ordinary people into Superheroes?

    Abby and Rory are two hurting people from simple backgrounds. The description of Rory’s hardscrabble upbringing pulled at my heartstrings, but the thing that stood out most was his memories of simple joys, ice cream on a summer evening with his family. It was a reminder that these are the things children remember from their childhood. Abby is working hard to make her way in the world as a young adult. No spoilers, but at a point early in the story, she had a big decision to make. I was rooting hard for her, and I wanted her to stand up for herself. The plot is good, but the characters make this story shine. Oh, how I loved Rory’s brother Olly! I love catching up with characters from earlier books set in Redford’s Crossing and already have a couple of ideas who might be featured in the next installment. If you haven’t made a trip yet to this charming small town, pack your bags now!

    Abby left home to escape her parents controlling her. When she needs a date for a family dinner, it coincides with Rory asking her out. When she needs a job, Rory also comes to her rescue and even though it means they can only be friends, she accepts the position. With a cast of wonderful costars, can Abby and Rory navigate their way through disaster to become superheroes. Not giving anything away, you have to read it yourself to find out.

    The struggles of life meet strong faith in M. Jean Pike’s newest release, “Super Heroes”. Friendship soon turns to attraction between Rory and Abby but can they rely on each other when tragedy strikes. Can they trust God in the bad times and find their way back to each other? Ms. Pike has a flare for character development. Once a character is introduced readers feel like they know them in just a few pages. This is the third book in her Redford Crossing series and characters readers loved from the past books come into the story like old friends. The word pictures are wonderfully painted and the writing flows smoothly with the plot moving along at a good pace. Reminders of God’s goodness and His promises are gently woven throughout the story. The scripture references fit each situation perfectly and will resonate with readers. The characters and situation are realistic and the dialogue is current. I found myself rooting for Abby and Rory individually and as a couple. Shyla’s story will t
