More than 20 years ago, 48 young heroes came to earth, and for marketing and capitalist reasons, they were eventually split into two groups that were promoted as The Heroes and The Villains, respectively. Villain Roland Casteel, widely known as "The Pyro," is looking to become a hero. Roland meets with Vanessa Theriot, a PR manger and the owner of her own PR company, in hopes that she can help change his public image.
The plan seems simple enough. Change his name, change his look, and give him a heroine? Vanessa agrees to become Roland's "Lois Lane" and suddenly they're fake dating!
Vanessa starts to become infatuated with Roland, but just as things are going good, they turn south. A supervillain has Roland acting like his old villainous self, but this time it's to save someone he's fallen madly in love with.
This book is hilarious, spicy, sweet, relatable, heartwarming, a little dark (as it covers topics sensitive for some audiences), and just overall a really good read! There is anxiety and PTSD representation in this book through the main character, Vanessa, and her character's situation and emotions are so easy to identify & resonate with. (⚠️ - Please make sure to check the Trigger Warnings for this book on the author's website!)
As a comic book, superhero, romance, and paranormal romance fan reading this book was really an enjoyable experience. It felt so good to laugh so hard.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
