Big City is supposedly the place where dreams come true. As someone just trying to live my life, I can tell you it’s more like a recurring nightmare where dreams get c*ckblocked at every turn.

Especially if you’re a supervillain like me.

The irony is that I have zero powers, despite coming from purebred villain stock, but try telling that to Big City’s beloved hero, Captain Masculine.

This himbo is ruining my research, and if his firepower doesn’t kill me, the sight of him in Lycra surely will. Luckily—or unluckily, in my opinion—my bestie just signed me up for the Bangers dating app and found my perfect match.

If this isn’t the start of my villain arc, I don’t know what is.

It’s hard feeling like I have to wear a mask every day—that the only value I bring to the table is the sparkling image others have created for me.

Such is the life of being Captain Masculine, Big City’s greatest superhero. This is the existence I was destined for, and I will gladly defend this city against every threat to its people.

Except Doctor Antihero.

I’ve seen countless villains come and go, but something about Antihero intrigues me more than the usual hero-villain encounters should.

It’s because of him that I impulsively signed up for a dating app, hoping a meaningless fling with a local normie will help get my head back in the game. The truth is, what I really want is someone who sees me—the man behind the mask.

But that’s a luxury no superhero can afford.

Not All Himbos Wear Capes is an MM romance between a superhero and a villain. This is not your kid’s superhero book. This is Sin City and The Boys having a love child with extra spicy Spideypool and is meant for 18+ adults who can handle such things.

The Villainous Things series contains standalone books (each with HEAs) that feature interconnected characters and an overarching plot.

plot and smut! yes villain/hero trope. yes everybody knows BUT the mc's trope and yes I lived the well written cornyness

Now this was funny. And hot. Hero x villian, dom sub elements, secret identities etc. It had dark elements (the world has supervillains, of course there are dark elements) but the funny parts didn't get suffocated by them. Laughed out loud a lot. I've already picked up the next one in the series. Also I've only ever heard John Solo do omegaverse titles before, so hearing him do something more conventional was interesting - he did a great job. First time listening to Philip Alces ever, I liked his style a lot.

Strong opening to a fun series

I thought this would be sexy and silly. And it was. And a lot of fun. And the story was engaging.

Came for the smut, stayed for the plot

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

While it's not anything fancy, the story is really interesting. I wish the author focused a bit more on it, particularly at the end as there was some interesting things that was going on in the background but was quickly swept away by the romance. However some of that may be looked more into in future books. I'm intrigued enough to continue with the next book.
Narrator did a good job too!

A smut story with actual plot

Best story I have listened to in ages. Different, to anything I have read. Well worth a listen! Can't wait to listen to the next bk coming out next week.

Super Story!
