She realized that one night while out for a run that something wasn't right with her stomach, but she tried not to dwell on it. The entire trailer begins to tremble as she is deciding where to relocate next while watching the news and looking at the map on the coffee table in her living room. A dazzling flash of light emerging from the sky is the next thing she notices. Gracie coerces herself to stand up and head outside to investigate the situation. She notices a well-known male body lying in her yard, badly injured. I CANNOT COMPREHEND THE LOGIC. the worst part is… THEY FORGIVE HER. they straight up went on their merry way as if this was just another day for them 🫥 There is an entire portion of this story that felt completely out of place. I won't give anything away but it has to do with Gracie's secrets. It could have been left out of the story completely because once it's over, there was zero reason for it. (Except to horrifically traumatize Gracie.) I didn’t know I needed this. I didn’t know I wanted this. And now I have it. I’ve always been craving a superhero romance and here it was: Mariana Zapata delivers with her magic. This story was incredibly unique, different than anything I've ever read before. I'm so conflicted because it was also kinda boring.
i liked the heroine, even though she was a little dense at times and didn't ask enough questions considering the circumstances. I just liked it. I loved the whole super hero dynamic (which I won't say more about so I don't spoil anything. But I will say this: Team Grandma.) I love MZ's brand of enigmatic male grump. I mean, she even had it directly in the title this time. I also just enjoy having to work for everything in an MZ book. That doesn't always work for me, but it just does with MZ for whatever. Want more of Mariana’s delicious slow burn? Why not try TikTok hit From Lukov With Love next, and don’t miss any of her romances beloved by millions of readers!honestly, relatable af. what makes her think this beautiful specimen cares about her boring human name 🥱 (why am i acting like his mans name isn’t alexander)
Everything Mariana writes is pure gold . . . a true gift to romance readers everywhere’ Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author There were so many plot holes! You're telling me a decent investigation reporter couldn't have figured all this out in a hot second? A teenager with a cell phone could've figured it out! The new novel from the author of TikTok sensation, From Lukov With Love! No one writes slow burn like Mariana Zapata and her millions of fans agree!
The Defender is one of three superheroes who protect Earth. They are literal super-beings that no one knows much about. Where did they come from? Why do they help us? One day The Defender is dropped on Gracie's front yard, in agony and barely able to move. So begins the story. Despite all of this, I loved both characters and the family and all the superpowers stuff was so cute. I had a fun time reading this, with moments that had me laughing out loud, and it left a sweet taste when I finished it. Which perhaps was a blessing as I went into this expecting it to be...less than a favorite MZ read. Sadly and with regret, it's a no. I'm not going to say that I hated it because it's a strong word but I also don't think this was good... The more I think about it, the more I think it was the laziest plot I have encountered in a while and the execution wasn't better.
what’s a sassy heroine and grumpy hero without their fair share of banter? they’re nothing that’s what I made it two weeks before I started craving cheetos and i only wanted to eat them with you around” I stayed up all night to read it in one go. Worth every second of lost sleep. Just a perfect superhero slow burn romance’ i guess this brings me to the main problem i had with this book and that was the romance between gracie and alex. i know MZ does slowburns and i completely anticipated the romance being developed later in the book but it felt like it never happened 😭And now that I've finished it, I can definitely see why this wasn't a hit for a lot of people. MZ takes the slow burn train as par for the course. But this thing? Took slow to a whole other level. The grump in this will make your heart melt, especially for how he feels for Gracie. I would’ve loved so much more of this world. And man, I could’ve dealt with a longer epilogue but honestly MZ? This was magic. Pure sunshine. Pure joy. Devoured this.
Great Deal
