I read this in a day! It's a good, quick read.
Celebrity, fake dating, superheroes? All favourite tropes of mine in one book? Yes please!!
Gwen is a famous actress and Ava is her personal assistant. She's also Swiftwing, LA's resident superhero. I got big supercorp vibes off this story, which is a plus for me!
The writing was easy to read, Ava and Gwen were good protagonists, and the side characters were good too.
I did think the climax wasn't really much of a climax but it was still a fun read! I'm going to check out the authors other work now!

Fauxmance, celebrity romance and superheroines...this book really does have it all. This was such a fun, smile-inducing read. I honestly enjoyed every minute of it and definitely recommend it if you're looking for a sweet and highly entertaining romance. It also helps that this has all my favourite lesfic tropes, I am just a sucker for fauxmance and romances with famous people. The superhero aspect was somewhat secondary, but still a major part, which just added some uniqueness and fun to the mix.
While this was definitely an enjoyable read, I didn't connect to it as much as I wanted to. I enjoyed it while I was reading but it is not something that I will remember or want to re-read. I fell like this is mainly because I never connected to our main characters. I think their relationship was really good, but I didn't particularly care about either of them enough on their own to get truly invested. The chemistry was still pretty good (although not the best that I've read) and their relationship, as I said before, was definitely fun to read.
I just love how different the books in this 'series' are turning out to be. They are all standalones and the authors are definitely putting their unique spins on the superhero genre in each book. While Shattered was much more contemplative and much less romance-heavy, this book was much lighter and heart-warming. And while this isn't my favourite book, I did enjoy the author's storytelling and am excited to read more from her in the future.

This book is amazing, but I might be biased because my very talented fiancee wrote it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I knew from the summary that this was based on Supergirl fanfiction and sadly I’ve read this before. Not much has changed from the ff so it’s pretty recognizable as Supergirl. That being sad; it’s short, so what okay reading that will keep your attention for a few hours.
