Review by Angela

I’ve been a fan of Elizabeth Stephens for quite a while. I discovered her when I stumbled upon the Xiveri Mates series in Kindle Unlimited and devoured the whole series in a matter of weeks. So, I was super excited when I discovered that Montlake was publishing her all-new series featuring SUPERHEROES AND SUPER VILLIANS.

All Superheroes Need PR is a fun, sexy read featuring only a good guy for you, fake dating, workplace romance, and the kill her and die tropes. There is also a lovable, loyal diverse friend group, a wonderful adoptive family, a FMC with PTSD and childhood trauma, and a MMC who is a bit mysterious.

PR director and agency owner Vanessa Theriot is good at what she does. She’s also surrounded herself with competent, smart people who are able support her ideas and make their small PR firm successful. She prefers being the person in the background while her employees take center stage. That all changes when the Heroes are looking to sign Roland Casteel a.k.a. the Pyro and need to change his image. Vanessa’s firm is in the running, and this could be the big break that would set them up for big future successes. But when the first meeting goes to hell in a handbasket, and Pyro demands that she leave the meeting, Vanessa fears that will be the end of any collaboration between her small firm and the Superheroes.

But no dear reader, it doesn’t end there. Lots of shenanigans ensue and before Vanessa realizes it, she’s not only signed an exclusive contract (at Pyro’s direction no less) but finds herself being the sole focus and fake girlfriend of the world’s newest Superhero. And that is AFTER he has a run-in with her overprotective brothers. But what is supposed to be fake, soon feels all too real. And the reasons Pyro feels such a connection with Vanessa will soon reveal themselves.

THIS WAS SUCH A FUN BOOK. It kind of reminded me of all of those old school paranormal romances I used to devour. It’s also super sexy. There are serious themes, especially Vanessa’s PTSD related to her childhood, but they are handled with care. Vanessa has a strong support system, and even though the romance with her superhero is sometimes confusing, and other times downright dangerous, their love blossoms into something very real.

The set-up for book two is delicious, and now that I’ve discovered who will be the main love interests, I’m beyond excited. I’m absolutely here for how this author seems to be setting up the expansion of worldbuilding and superhero/villains backstories. But being familiar with her work, I should have expected it. If you haven’t read this author, I urge you to do so.

Final grade- B
