Just say he asked, two words, no known to the world that was just ugh could have shortened the book down a lot if you deleted that bit. Gracie is twenty nine and has been running all her life. Now that their grandparents are dead, she’s been surviving by going from an unknown village to another. She doesn’t have friends, she’s never had a lover. She realized that one night while out for a run that something wasn't right with her stomach, but she tried not to dwell on it. The entire trailer begins to tremble as she is deciding where to relocate next while watching the news and looking at the map on the coffee table in her living room. A dazzling flash of light emerging from the sky is the next thing she notices. Gracie coerces herself to stand up and head outside to investigate the situation. She notices a well-known male body lying in her yard, badly injured. honestly, relatable af. what makes her think this beautiful specimen cares about her boring human name 🥱 (why am i acting like his mans name isn’t alexander) All the feels . . . Mariana Zapata is one of the best writers out there – to be cliché: the words come alive’
This book in particular was so different to all her others. It was a paranormal superhero romance. What. It was so different but also so similar because it had Miss Z’s touch all over it yk. I didn’t know I needed this. I didn’t know I wanted this. And now I have it. I’ve always been craving a superhero romance and here it was: Mariana Zapata delivers with her magic. since i think it’s very interesting, some of alex’s abilities include: super strength/hearing/smell/vision, flying, speed, invulnerability, being sexy, being adorable, being a cheetos fanatic and fast healing.I'm going to go with 4½ stars that I'm rounding up despite the slog in the beginning. Once past that part, I had a hard time putting it down and the banter was tons of fun. The Defender is one of three superheroes who protect Earth. They are literal super-beings that no one knows much about. Where did they come from? Why do they help us? One day The Defender is dropped on Gracie's front yard, in agony and barely able to move. So begins the story. There is always a hint of immaturity in this author's heroines, but the fact that the word "butthole" was said SO many times throughout this story was ridiculous. OMG I am almost lost for words, I loved this so much! . . . Zapata is the queen of the slow burn for a reason, and I love how well she writes the trope’ And for those of you wondering about the age difference, she’s 29 about to be 30 and he is 35. You are welcomeeee :)
Everything Mariana writes is pure gold . . . a true gift to romance readers everywhere’ Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author Gracie steps in to assist the Defender right away. Over a long period of time, she gradually assists in his healing and care. She repeatedly asks him if he would like to go somewhere else, but he is a cranky son of a bitch and has no intention of leaving. But Gracie was okay. She got a lot better as the book went on because she stopped crying so damn much. Finally, was it just me or did that feel like a fanfiction of the boys...which you know...who the hell were you thirsting after to write this? The Defender..... Homelander....
I'm begging Gracie to love herself. She apologized so many times, for her own existence sometimes and it's terrible. This need for the characters to be liked is annoying - I promise they're allowed to be flawed and if Alexander wants to grunt and be an asshole when he's annoyed, she can be a cunt to him too. with the way gracie described alex as “the most beautiful man ever”, it really had me imagining him as henry cavill in the first superman film 🫡 So many tropes: grumpy- sunshine, one bed, kidnapping, fated mates, etc etc; I don’t want to spoil this for y’all but this will have you smiling from ear to ear.
Great Deal
