This isn’t a bad book. But I need more substance for the main relationship. It’s a slow burn friends to lovers romance; but with Harper being in a relationship with someone else for 80% of the book I felt the romance aspect of Harper and Eliot to be lacking. I just felt like as soon as their relationship was taking off the book ended. But I did enjoy everything else and look forward to reading more from Warren.

Not all heroes wear capes. Nor are they all good people.
Harper’s girlfriend Caroline is a pediatric oncologist so of course work is her priority. Harper is fine with this, even though she sometimes wishes they had time for more than just sex, albeit hot sex. She’d like to be able to talk about her day at the job she hates or the volunteering she loves. When a friend from work invites the couple to dinner at a fancy restaurant, Harper decides to attend despite Caroline cancelling once again at the almost last minute. Harper’s evening is saved by Eliot, a late arrival at the dinner and the only person to pay attention to her. After spending the day at the hospital with her seven-year-old niece, Eliot, a comic book artist, doesn’t really feel like socializing and things get worse when her best friend volunteers her to help out Harper with a fundraiser she’s organizing.
At first I found Harper a little too naive to be true. Then I thought maybe she’s simply a good person, someone who sees the best in people and wants to do the right thing. She’s so busy looking up to her unappreciative girlfriend that she doesn’t see she’s as worthy of respect and love as anyone else. Eliot is a sweetheart too, and I really liked both families around them. There could have been more character-development, however. Eliot and Harper are sweet but one-dimensional. And the conflicts resolve themselves a bit too quickly.
This is my third book by this author, and despite those remarks, I really like the way she writes, the characters she gives life to and the stories she tells.

I love this cover by Joseph Krystofiak. It is fun and makes you want to pick up the book and see what the story is about. Its formatting fits Eliot’s character perfectly.
One of my favorite characters from Hero(ine) Addict is Audrey and I predict she will be one of yours too. She is a different kind of superhero, but one who makes an impact all the same on one of the main characters. The other is a young man by the name of Brandon who we do not meet in this story, but whose story is told by the other main character, Harper. It is the influence of these two very powerful people who impact this story the most and I am thankful that Blythe H. Warren told their story.
Warren writes about some heavy topics in this slow-burn romance story, but like all comic story heroes, they always come from a dark past - or in this case present. There is plenty of humor mixed in here too. Warren keeps the reader balanced on that fine edge of just about to cry and then pulls you back with some humor. Harper provides plenty of humorous moments too.
There is romance too (laugh) - messed up romantic moments. Sometimes this reads like a really awkward romance because you see what is going on like a really bad train wreck that you just can’t stop watching. Yup, that just happened. Thank goodness you picked up this book and were here for it!
This is a book with popcorn and tea moments! Em throws so much shade, she should join the ladies in Atlanta. (not that it isn’t worth it mind you) Then add in the romance and you have become an Addict too! It’s worth it.
I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
