Not All Himbos Wear Capes: A Superhero/Villain MM Romance (Villainous Things Book 1)

This was such a delightful morsel of yummy I don’t know quite where to begin. It’s quirky, naughty, and way too cute for words. Because even with all the supernaturals fighting (and occasionally murdering), and all the lightweight kink going on, it’s mostly an adorable story of enemies falling in love. In the most unlikely and over-the-top way possible. And I freakin’ love it. Not All Himbos Wear Capes is an enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract, villain-nails-a-hero-yes-in-the-fun-way kind of story. And it’s to die for. Synopsis: Xander is a villain. He’s grumpy as all get out and he’s particularly annoyed by Captain Masculine, the city’s superhero who keeps disturbing his plans and his work. But Masculine is hot A.F. in Lycra though, so there's that at least. Butch is the golden boy of Big City, but being a superhero is tiring, and constantly putting everybody else’s wishes and wants before his own might be the hero way but he just wants a break. Enter Bangers, the perfect hook-up app for normies. No better way to blow off steam, right? Neither Xander or Butch expected to meet the perfect guy – too bad that supernaturals and normies aren’t allowed to be together… I fell in love with these guys. That’s the only way to describe it. (Alright, I might have fallen harder for Xander, but you will too if you give this story a shot). The way they were together was perfection. I believed their instant attraction. I felt how they clicked and found someone they could actually…

A dangerous thing can happen when a book (or series) comes highly recommended—expectations get high. For me, that often leads to heartbreak when the book inevitably lets me down (yes, I admit, my expectations can be ludicrous). But sometimes, just sometimes, the opposite can be true. Here in lies the case with NAHWC. Holy Cheeze-Its! The hilarity, the ridiculousness, the camp. It’s all perfectly woven together in accessible yet sophisticated prose. I have no idea what I expected (okay, yes I do. It was a lot. Those expectations were HIGH), but holy sugar honey iced tea did this deliver! The world building is immediate and easy to follow. The camp, much the same. The insta-love (usually not a fan) is perfectly used and abused, just like our main Himbo. I mean these two are (chefs kiss) perfection. There is a good amount of spice (tbh, I could’ve handled more) but it doesn’t take away from the gravity of the world building and plot and awesome 👏🏻 side 👏🏻 characters 👏🏻! What’s more, this was Rochelle’s first MM-only romance. I mean, WHAT? It’s all just so delicious. Read it. Burn it into your memory. And then read the next one. And the next. And the next. Daddy says so. And so do I.
