He’s a villain looking for a hero rebrand. She’s the marketing genius who can make it happen in this fantastical romantic comedy by the author of the Beasts of Gatamora series.
Over two decades ago, forty-eight young, gifted superheroes fell to Earth and were eventually marketed as opposing brands: heroes and villains. Now, one exceptionally gruff bad guy is looking to hop teams. Hello, PR director Vanessa Theriot.
His real name is Roland Casteel a.k.a. the Pyro. First, swap that with the less incinerating the Wyvern. Next, put him in spandex to highlight that near-godlike body. Finally, give that hero in training a heroine—if Vanessa will play the part in a pretend romance guaranteed to make the city swoon. She’s game. As shy as Vanessa is, it’s her job to be Roland’s very own Lois Lane. Who knew that fake dating would change their worlds?
But falling head over
heels for real makes for a dangerous shift in the narrative. A monstrous
supervillain is bringing out Roland’s bad side again. This time, it’s to save a
woman who, against all the odds, is becoming the human love of his superhero life.
This book was so
cute. I loved every minute of reading it. It did start slow but once it got
going the pacing definitely picked up. I loved that Pyro was all she is my wife
from the very beginning. She thought he was joking…he was not joking. There is
some very series issues addressed in the book and everyone should read the
warnings.
