All Superheroes Need PR was such a fun read! I truly love the way Elizabeth Stephens writes her FMCs and this one was no different!

The premise was fun and I am excited to see where the story line for the series goes. This background story was very reminiscent of the Go family from Kim Possible to me so it felt nostalgic. It felt like a childhood classic, aged up for an adult crowd!

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.

Years ago, 48 superheroes fell to Earth, and the world was never the same again. In the years since, the battle lines have been drawn, and the arrivals are either heroes or villains, with all the branding and publicity to make it profitable. Vanessa is the owner and manager of an up-and-coming PR company, and she needs the new contract in order to continue the business. Roland was formally a villain, but has now turned to the good side, and needs a complete rebrand - including a loving girlfriend to make it believable. That all sounds great, until Roland announces he will only work with Vanessa, and she needs to be his ‘girlfriend’. What may have started out as a Lois Lane fake romance, soon proves to be anything but.

Wow, this book was epic! I was not expecting how funny and gut wrenching it was - Elizabeth really knocked it out of the park here. Vanessa was an amazing FMC, vulnerable and imperfect, but loveable all the same, and when I say Roland fell hard, he fell hard, and was ready to go toe to toe with anyone and everyone who got in between him and her. I’m someone who loves superhero films, so when this book popped up on NG, I knew I’d enjoy it, but I loved it! The plot, the romance, the characters - everything was engaging and so diverse. A few things happened that I was not expecting, but the cover perfectly matches the book, and I am now desperate to get my hand on book 2. Elizabeth is now one of my auto-buy authors!

Absolutely fantastic read. Loads of fun with engaging characters and plot that keeps you reading. Wonderful balance of seriousness, humor, and banter.

"All Superheroes Need PR" was a fun read! I have been wanting to read a superhero romance and this book somewhat satisfied that craving. Roland is very possessive with a hint of psycho mixed in. I LOVE that in my fictional men. I did not expect Roland to have a POV and was pleasantly surprised when his chapter came up. Stephens did that so well. She made us intrigued enough to wonder what the hell is wrong with this man and then delivered his inner thoughts on a platter. Roland was straight up COMEDY at the press release. Vanessa's anxiety was stressing me out. She is so nervous and clumsy that I was having a cringe fest for the first half of the book. Her backstory is pretty sad though, so I get it. Sometimes I didn't quite like their relationship. It seemed so unbalanced at times but it got better as I continued reading. I enjoyed this read and I am very intrigued how the next book will play out.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this arc!

I am obsessed with this book. Thank you NetGalley and Montlake for the ARC. I am almost angry with myself for taking so long to get to it. It kept getting bumped down my TBR when it should have had a prominent spot! I was mentally prepared for a fluffy, mild/moderate spice, fake dating, standalone romance. I got instead a HOT, sci-fi lite, mental health rep, diverse rom-com that was still somehow fluffy?! The next book comes out in November, which I immediately requested on NetGalley and preordered.

I really wanted to love All Superheroes Need PR — However, it fell short for me, which is a shame considering how fresh and exciting the blurb seemed!
I genuinely can't pinpoint where it didn't hit for me. There is a lot of deep, triggering themes targeted in this book, and it certainly tries to shed a light on key issues, however it didn't leave me with a lasting impact which could be due to not enough time or importance given to fleshing out these themes.

I think a major setback was the multiple backgrounds and storylines that made the book seem like seperate stories rather than one connected whole. At times, this was quite confusing, however if you are a fan of this story there is a whole potential 47 OTHER HEROES AND VILLIANS THAT COULD GET THEIR OWN BOOK!

It wasn't a complete miss - the premise is good, it's a totally fresh concept and there were certainly moments that made me smile! I think perhaps later I would like to give this another try!

2.5/5!

A fun, flirty superhero romance with heart and heat! All Superheroes Need PR blends fake-dating, workplace drama, and a clever take on celebrity culture. Vanessa and Roland have great chemistry, and the emotional depth adds weight to the witty banter and action. Love how diverse the characters are.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Listen, when I tell you no one world builds like Elizabeth Stephens does. No one. The amount of detailed worlds and lore her brain contains is unbelievable honestly. I’ve read her viking, alien and post-apocalyptic worlds so this contemporary super hero world was something totally different! And a rom-com at that. I had the best time. I received an e-arc of this, but ended up listening to the audiobook via Kindle Unlimited and I’m so glad I did! The narration by Dara Brown and Sean Bassett was excellent. This book was so many things, hilarious, fascinating and of course with Elizabeth’s brand of spice (filthy) lol. It was like if Marvel’s MCU, Megamind and The Boys became a throuple… this book would be their collective love child. I can’t wait to keep going…

You can expect

-M/F
-Black romance
-a quirky FMC with anxiety
-“he hates me” (but he’s actually obsessed with her)
-insta-lust/fated mates
-funny + action packed
-spicy spice
-a monstrous twist


Thank you Montlake and Netgalley for the free arc

This book was so good! First of all I love the humor. I love the FMC's I guess quirkiness? Idk but she was different and I loved that. I think that's what set this book apart from other romance books. The MMC was hell on wheels at first but he did not play about Vanessa at all! Her background is incredibly sad but it was nice to see her get her justice. Overall 5/5 stars. Cannot wait for the second book! Elizabeth you have done it again!

This was an amazing read. The book was extremely well-written, and I absolutely loved the storyline and the characters.

I loved the story of this book so much. Villians and superheroes are just one of the best tropes, and with the added romance, this book was excellent.

Vanessa and Roland were the best. I loved their dynamic and how Roland brought out Vanessa’s confidence and helped her beat her demons. If anyone deserves a HEA, it is definitely these two.

The side characters in this book were also one of my favorite parts of the book. Vanessa’s brothers were a hit, along with her co-workers. I really hope we get to see a book about Margerie in the future.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading future books in this series.

This book was an utter delight! Just truly, so much fun!

Vanessa Theriot is head of her own PR firm, but she prefers to stay behind the scenes, mostly due to her social anxiety. She had a very difficult young childhood, but things turned around for her when she was adopted. Now, she has a loving mom and dad, and many overprotective brothers, who love her and dote on her. When her small business gets the opportunity to work with the heroes coalition, she's anxious but THRILLED.

The Pyro, aka Roland Casteel, has tried to stay on the fringes of the heroes vs. villains media machine, until he can't anymore. He's considering taking a deal from the heroes coalition to join their ranks, and meeting Vanessa seals the deal for him. He's obsessed from first sight, but he goes about everything wrong at first.

Vanessa and Roland had a bumpy road after their first interaction, and it kept me on my toes wondering how things would progress between them. I'm SO GLAD we got Roland's POV in the book as well, because then we got to know how he felt about Vanessa from the start, and all of his inner thoughts, which often erred on the side of villainous. Watching him fight his impulses in regards to her was fantastic. Trying to be a better man, and be everything his Nessa needed him to be, kept him going. I absolutely loved the dynamic between the two of them, and how HOT they were for each other.

The side characters here were fun, especially Nessa's brothers. It was really easy to fall in love with everyone, and I can't wait for more stories in this world! There were quite a few surprises along they way too, which were perfection. I just really loved the entire experience of reading this story, and I'm so glad I picked it up!

Passion and longing intricately intertwined into a truly stellar, unique and unforgettable plotline, that’s All Superheros Need PR in a nutshell.

It's a well written story with lots of heart. Vanessa and Roland's journey is extremely sensual, almost poetic. Loved it!!

All Superheroes need PR
-Touch her and I'll set you on fire.
- One bed
- This book gives so many distant superheroes/ alien references.
- Roswell
- The Incredibles

In a world of superheroes and villains, Vanessa's company is selected to handle the rebrand of Pyro.

This was such a fun read. I really enjoyed the "touch her and I'll set you on fire trope"
This book reminds me of Roswell, DC comics while also having its own identity.

I would recommend to anyone who likes anti-heroes.

This book is such a needed addition to superhero romance—this is going to start a trend, I know it. The characters were complex and interesting and funny. The stakes were just right. It was such a fun read and hot in the way that Elizabeth Stephens really excels at. Loved it.

All Superheroes Need PR by Elizabeth Stephens is action fueled alien romance where a superhero hires the marketing maven & head of her company only for this matchup turning into an adventure that will change their lives forever.

This is book #1 in the Supers in the City series & It was a banter filled start that wonderfully combined romance with action & adventure.

All Superheroes Need PR Is great for those looking to read…

🩷 Forced Proximity
🩷 Anxiety & PTSD Representation

I was fortunate enough to listen to the audiobook of this dual narration & it was superb! I listened at 2x & it was perfect for my ADHD brain.

I never want to give away spoilers for one of my favorite lines was, “I may be a hero, but I’m only a hero for her. For you, I can be a villain at just fine.” (77% of the book)

I loved the pure love, chaos & hilarity that her family provided & were moments of joy & adoration in this story.

This was just a breath of fresh air for the romance genre with its utter uniqueness & unputdownable super ability. I cannot wait to read more form this series & this author. I highly recommend All Superheroes Need PR !

Massive thanks to NetGalley, Montlake & Brilliance Audio for the gifted copy, which I voluntarily read & reviewed.

From beginning to end, this book had me! I loved every minute. The family dynamic had me laughing so hard and just loving the bond everyone had with each other. And Let me mention a Superhero like no other, fine as all get out with some changes by the end of the book (that would still have me calling him fine)! I adored the growth in the relationship between the FMC and MMC. This is a must read.

Thank you so much to Montlake and Netgalley for providing an advanced copy of this book! All thoughts and opinions are still my own.

Literally everything Elizabeth Stephens writes immediately becomes a favorite. There is just something about her writing that completely hooks me every single time. And I absolutely loved her unique spin on superheroes here.

We follow a heroine who is exceptionally capable but suffers from severe anxiety - and I loved her character. I loved how this showed that strength doesn't always come in the same package. That you can be strong and still need help.

This has fantastic side characters - friends, family, other supers - you immediately care for and want more of (if I don't get a romance between Vanessa's brother and best friend I swear to- 😅). Tons of action to match the superhero/action vibe. And a hero who would (literally) burn the world for the heroine.

There are few things I love more in a romance than a hero worshiping the damn ground the heroine walks on. And Roland was simping hard.

And I loved that the author made even superheroes so quintessentially her. I don't want to ruin the little reveals but I loved how much *more* this story became by the end.

I'm so excited for the next book. Honestly I'd read 100 of these.

Thank you Netgalley and Montlake for my ARC copy!!
I wanted to love this so much and it was still a really good reading but it's not the 4/5⭐️ I predicted it would be. It was a nice quick easy read and I have a few friends I recommended this too as I thought they would love it but it just was not for me unfortunately.

Gosh I shared my review on StoryGraph but forgot to also do it here…

I loved this book! I’m already a fan fan of the author and her writing style so I had high expectations. This was such a refreshing twist of the typical super hero story, amazing set of characters and full of diversity. Elizabeth always manages to give us enough spice and humour to be completely satisfied at the end of her stories and this one is no exception,

ARC Review:
4.5⭐️
3🌶

Elizabeth… you did that! This book was funny, sexy, and romantic in the best ways. I had an absolute blast with All Superheroes Need PR—a story that follows Vanessa, a sharp but shy PR director who lands the opportunity of a lifetime: managing the image of a… hero? Ok, technically a hero—but let’s just say Wyvern (Roland) has a few PR challenges (and by “challenges,” I mean he’s hot, chaotic, and possibly allergic to good decisions).

What unfolds is a hilarious, swoony, and heartfelt journey that I didn’t want to end. Vanessa’s family and friends? ICONIC. I adored the entire cast, and these relationships added so much warmth and hilarity. The banter? On point. The romance? Super delicious. And the character growth—both individual and as a couple—was so satisfying to watch unfold.

This story shows what it looks like when two people truly find their person, and it's done with so much care and charm. I was laughing out loud one minute and clutching my heart the next.

And if we don’t get a second book about Charles and Margerie, I’m staging a peaceful protest outside Elizabeth’s inbox. 😂

✅️Highly recommend if you love:

✅️Superhero romance with spice

✅️Characters with depth and growth

✅️Found family and laugh-out-loud moments
