Synopsis:
A swooning photographer and a double-crossing superhero come together with electrifying chemistry in an out-of-this-world romantic comedy by the author of All Superheroes Need PR.
From the moment forty-eight alien superheroes crash-landed on Earth, photographer Monika Neumann had a favorite. She’s been crushing on the literally electrifying Taranis ever since she saw the cutie crawling out of his pod. Unfortunately, his popularity isn’t exactly crackling these days. He could use an image boost.
Monika is in. One right photo op and she’ll put her ridiculously hot lightning-bolt-wielding hero back in the public’s favor. The best part is, the mission will bring her closer to Taranis. She’s already looking forward to the sparks. Monika never imagined there’d be a worst an accidental recording that reveals Taranis could be more villain than hero. In fact, her pretty golden boy can get kind of ugly.
Going all 007 and spying on Taranis isn’t the adventure in romance and derring-do she expected. Can she trust him? Doubtful. Can she resist him? No way. Is she ready to risk everything on a shimmering Champion with the power to zap her heart in two? Well, yeah.

I’ve spotlighted Elizabeth Stephens quite a bit on my blog over the years. She creates such unique and original stories, and I always fall in love with her characters and romances. All Superheroes Need Photo Ops was no exception. It’s a fun and swoon-worthy romance and a great addition to the Supers in the City series!
Initially, Taranis, the MMC, is hard to like. Arrogant, condescending, and deceitful, he has a very negative view of humans. Actually, he has a negative view of most everything, and his desire for power over all is his main motivation. Luckily, Taranis shows an incredible amount of growth over the course of the story, thanks to Monika.
Monika and Taranis are fantastic together, and I love their banter! Their chemistry is also off the charts, and their sexy scenes are HOT! Like, grab a fan kind of hot because you will be swooning by the end. Stephens really has a skill in creating supercharged sexual energy and spicy shmexy scenes. Loved it!
The plot is also interesting and builds upon the first book in the series, All Superheroes Need PR. It’s exciting and suspenseful, and I’m really curious to find out more about this group that came from another planet. There’s so much we still don’t know about them, and that they don’t know about themselves, and it will be interesting to see what happens as they learn more. I also love that the characters from the first book have roles in this book, too. They’re fantastic, and to see how in love they are and how their relationship has progressed warmed my heart.
If you like spicy sci-fi romance or paranormal romance that’s suspenseful, sexy, and fun, this is definitely a series to check out! Thanks to NetGalley and Montlake for providing me with a copy of the book. All thoughts are my own.
- touch her and die
- he falls first
- morally gray MMC
Elizabeth Stephens writes romance of the SciFi, paranormal and suspenseful varieties. Her favorite trope is enemies-to-lovers and she loves to world-build so much so that she sometimes gets lost in places that don’t exist.
One year into her author journey, she’s been shocked to see her books listed among Amazon’s bestsellers in their categories. Still, her favorite pieces of fanmail are from BIPOC women expressing surprise and gratitude that they’ve found an author who looks like them and (does her very best!) to write books that make them feel included.
When she isn’t tip-tap-typing away, you might find her getting her hands dirty on a pottery wheel, traveling as much as she can, or learning a new language. A Seattle native, after over 15 years spent in Johannesburg, Cairo, Beirut, Geneva, Addis Ababa, and Berlin, she’s made her way back home with her loving husband and doggo, King Louis.
