omg the audiobook! Woo. Listen, I've read audiobooks for a minute and usually I do one or the other - read a book with my eyes or my ears. This time, I did both and I get it. The experience of taking it in simultaneously is unparalleled. The narrators were SO good and it was just as good as the first time I read this delightful book 1. Cannot WAIT for book 2. Can't believe I have to hold out until November!

Elizabeth is and has been an auto buy author and this is exactly why. She delivers. This romcom that starts out like a little work romance, with a little don't like each other to love you down forever where he falls first and HARD but is actually a superhero monster romance? Delightful!! There's a splash of some very spicy spice but it's the way he will do anything for her and the way she shines because she knows she's safe that really does it for me.

“He’s a villain looking for a hero rebrand. She’s the marketing genius who can make it happen.”

This monster romance between Vanessa and Roland was a fun time! Roland is immediately obsessed with Vanessa and will do anything to make her happy.

I enjoyed the story and am intrigued where the series might go from here.

My main complaints were about the insta-love elements and how possessive Roland was immediately. I know some people love that but it’s not really my favorite dynamic.

Get ready for a swoonworthy sci-fi, romcom in All Supheroes Need PR! It was scrumdidlyumptious, I want to experience it all over again. The narrators did an amazing job of bringing these characters to life. It is dual style narration, so the chapters alternate.

The existence of ‘superbeings’ had only been discovered within the last twenty years, after they fell to earth. Known as the 48, these gifted beings had been categorized into villains and superheroes. Vanessa Theriot is a PR director who is tasked with rebranding the image of a former supervillain who is now ‘switching sides’. However part of the deal in making Roland Casteel a hero involves Vanessa playing the role of his fake girlfriend.

This book had the perfect balance of romance, wit and humour. It also deals with some sensitive themes as well so do check the content/trigger warnings beforehand. I just need to say Roland Casteel is BOOK HUSBAND material! This man starts off a bit standoffish towards girl Vanessa but something shifts and then he is SO DOWN BAD for her which you’ll get to experience first hand from his POV.

I was very intrigued by this change and had a couple of theories flying through my mind as to why there was this immense connection between the two. Vanessa is a little hesitant about the fake dating but comes around to play her part. She is a bit of an introvert and has really bad social anxiety but her confidence improves and she comes out of her shell as the story goes on. Vanessa has a great support system in the form of her colleagues which are also her friends as well as her adoptive family. They were a great addition to the cast of characters.

Elizabeth did an amazing job of weaving diversity in this novel, ranging from ethnicity to gender, we need more authors creating stories where everyone can see themselves in the characters they are reading about!

I cannot wait for more from this series ☺️

I first read Elizabeth Stephen's alien romance and as a Marvel fan was excited to see a superhero romance coming. It took me two tries to get into this book but when it captured me I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the next one. The male narrator did his thing, with the mood changed and deeper, lower voice to indicate anger.

I absolutely loved this book! The narrators were awesome and brought it all together. The characters, story, and plot stay with you even after finishing the book. I loved that the story was a fresh take on a superhero/paranormal romance book. Congratulations to the author on yet another fantastic novel .

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for letting me review this audiobook!

I haven't read or engaged with many superhero movies/stories/comics/books, but this was a fun way to engage with that world through romance. I appreciated the diverse cast of characters as well as the character and plot development.
Narration was superb, and I look forward to more books in the series.

This was a fun, new twist on paranormal romance - superheroes! The slow-burn romance paired with the intrigue and suspense of learning more about the world and planets the heroes and villains came from propelled me through this book at lightning speed. The relationships felt genuine and heartfelt, going into the backstory of each main character. I'm anxiously awaiting the next installment!

3.5 rounded up.
I went into this blind based almost purely on the cover and based on that and the first 25% ish i thought it was a super hero rom com. Then WHAM all of a sudden we have a crazy mystery, a complex interplanetary plot, and monster / alien porn.
Not to say that I didn't still eat it up, I was totally hooked for the plot, but the romance had me wishy washy. I loved them together most of the time, but I didn't like his way of easing her into intimacy involving light choking out the gate, and some minor dom/sub play. It just felt too rushed given what we were learning about her past and her anxiety.

Thank you to Netgalley and Montlake for this ARC (I actually have the audiobook ARC and bought the paperback, and alternated between the two).

This is such a fun book! From the banter between Rollo and Nessa, to the relationship with her brothers, to the endearing inner thoughts Rollo has - major touch her and die vibes, you'll have a great time with this one. I like how Stephens approaches a classic superhero vs villains world in a different way, giving a nod to one of the most famous alien-human relationships to ever exist.

One of my favorite things about the book is how Nessa may have come from a traumatic background, but she's loved by everyone around her and is overall lovable, even by skateboard kids (loved that part!).

I can't wait to read the sequel and see where this world goes. What shenanigans will Nessa and Rollo get into next?

Decent book with a good premise. I loved that the characters are all very diverse and well fleshed out. The relationship was okay, it wasn't my favorite. I just couldn't see them together. The book does come with a significant Trigger List that I don't actually remember seeing before jumping in the book. I would advise looking at the whole list before going into this one since I know some of these TW are intense.

The flow of the book I think is where I struggled. The writing has potential but the plot felt like 3 books that was forced into one book. The book was constantly jumping from one thing to another and it made the book a little confusing.

I also hated the spice. There was too much and I didn't like the way they were written.

We need more books like All Superheroes Need PR. This was such a fun and unique read and I would like 100 more like these! Elizabeth Stephens did such a fun job of capturing such a captivating story and I flew through it. The audiobook was also phenomenal, and the cover was the first thing that stood out to me. We are being intentional about making sure this book is available in our bookstore!

Have you watched "the boys"?! I totally got those bad ass vibes from this! Alien superheroes+ a bad ass relatable FMC. Rolo aka the wyvern 🫠 had me in a puddle multiple times. I was laughing out loud on multiple occasions.

And the side characters!! Loved them all so much I hope this turns into a series. There was loads of representation in this book as well. Definitely a favorite of the month!

Thank you to Brilliance for the ALC/arc

Soooooooooo how do I explain All Superheroes Need PR? If you took I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore, Renegades by Marissa Meyer, and the smuttiest monster romance by CM Nascosta rolled all into one. Remember that scene from Breaking Dawn where Edward didn’t want to hurt Bella during sexy time and then it fades to black? This one does not fade to black AT ALL and he ROCKS her world with his super hero 🐓! 💅🏻 And it was GOOOOOOOD!

If you need more reason to pick it up, that isn’t smutty and or sexy at all, there is fighting and superhero activities that also happen. Her life is threatened and he goes all touch her and die. But I also find that super sexy, sooo…!!!

Thank you to Montlake Publishing and NetGalley for my ALC.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS!

I had received an audio arc from the author Elizabeth Stephens via NetGalley, the audio was perfection!

Superhero romance is a new to me combo but it worked so well. Loved the world and all the characters.
Sprinkling of omegaverse vibes at the end sent me screaming.

Loved the banter between Vanessa and Roland. Always great to read a relatable FMC. Roland’s (MMC) perspective was priceless. His inner monologues had me kicking my feet with how immediately obsessed he was.

All Superheroes Need PR by Elizabeth Stephens has very quickly become one of my favorite books I have read this year.

Broody, cold Superhero Roland Casteel (AKA the Pyro) becomes obsessed with his new Shy PR director Vanessa Theriot immediately upon meeting her, and it's decided that to change his image, she will become his Lois Lane.

This book truly has everything that I love in a book, fated mates, fake dating, a beautiful monster man, and the most fantastic spicy scenes.

I can't wait for the future books in this series and have loved every second I spent in this world.

This book had me giggling, gasping, and falling to the floor (especially whenever Sean Bassett spoke in this audiobook)

Both narrators were fantastic, and I would relisten to this audiobook over again in a heartbeat.

Thank you so much Brilliance Publishing & Brilliance Audio for an opportunity to listen to this alc!

I’m obsessed. Elizabeth Stephens does it again—*All Superheroes Need PR* is a knockout blend of action, steam, and heart. Her recent releases have all been bangers, but this might just be my favourite yet.

The audiobook? Absolutely top-tier. The narrators *nail* the chemistry and character voices—funny, swoony, and perfectly paced. If you love audio, you *have* to listen to this one.

Think: Smallville meets The Incredibles—but make it Black, bold, spicy, and smarter. With supernatural shenanigans, real emotional depth, and one hell of a romantic arc, this book delivers on every level.

💥 Tropes & Themes to Love:
- Villain-to-hero
- Touch-her-and-die energy
- Fake dating (Lois Lane clause!)
- Workplace romance – shy PR rep x alpha pyro in need of a rebrand 🔥
- Spicy (yes, knotting 🌶️)
- Anxiety rep – beautifully done and relatable
- Found family vibes with a lovable, diverse crew who would go to war for you (literally!)
- Fated mates with real payoff
- Big worldbuilding energy - I’m thinking I need 48 books set in this world!!!

If you’re into superhero rom-coms with a punch of heat and heart, *All Superheroes Need PR* is your next must-read (or must-listen). Add it to your TBR and thank me later.

I did not expect this book to be so hilarious?? Pyro's inner monologue had me laughing my way through the story. It was spicy, sweet, and so much fun!

I listened to the audiobook and the narrators did an INCREDIBLE job bringing these characters to life. Highly recommend!!

I absolutely love Elizabeth Stephens books. I’m so happy to her getting traditionally published. I loved this alien/monster smut. It was a little unexpected twist I didn’t see coming and I devoured it.

The audiobook in this was stunning.

Here's the thing, was I surprised with the way this ended? Yes. but I should've known since I have read other Elizabeth Stephens books. Like Jaw on the floor amazing. Love. I adored every little things about this.

I loved All Superheroes Need PR by Elizabeth Stephens. From the moment I dove in, it had me hooked. The mix of humour, heart, and just the right amount of chaos made it impossible to put down. The characters are vibrant and relatable—especially the lead, who’s juggling everything with a perfect blend of wit and vulnerability. It’s that kind of story that makes you smile, laugh out loud, and genuinely root for everyone involved. I appreciate how it balances the superhero action with real-life PR madness, making it fresh and super fun. Honestly, it’s the kind of book that stays with you long after you’ve finished it.
And the audiobook version, narrated by Dara Brown and Sean Bassett, takes it to another level. Dara brings this lively energy to the female lead that fits so well, capturing all those quirky and heartfelt moments perfectly. Sean Bassett’s narration adds a great dynamic, giving the male characters a distinct voice that balances the story beautifully. Together, they make the characters feel even more real, and the back-and-forth between them adds extra sparkle to the whole experience. Listening to it felt like hanging out with friends who were just as invested in the wild, fun superhero world as I was.
