About this listen

Of all the things that could have landed in her yard, it had to be him.

For most people, finding a half-naked superbeing in their yard might be a dream come true.

Unfortunately for Gracie Castro, it’s the exact opposite.

Especially when he’s grouchy, rude, and shows no signs of leaving anytime soon.

But when a hero of mankind needs you, you do what you have to.

Even if it compromises everything you know.

And totally changes your life.

This story has so much potential! Something different from Mariana Zapata and I genuinely loved the gist of the storyline. The slow burn, the supernatural aspect & the grumpy hero. The characters development was fantastic. The story needed some heavy editing and the repetition was nearly unbearable in the first half of the book. Overall, glad I preserved & still a big Zapata fan.

I loved he chemistry between the two characters and the POV dialogue. I hate when you get a duet and it's only chapter for chapter. hearing them talk like in real life is perfect. another win for MZ

Both narrators were fantastic in adapting the characters from the great book I had already read and enjoyed. A beautiful slow burn of a story with interesting twists and turns, and lovable but flawed characters. Amazing story and beautiful narration.

Fabulous narration of a gorgeous story

I had originally read the physical copy of this book & really enjoyed it. When I saw the audiobook was available, I thought a re-read but geez this was a struggle listening to the most annoying American accent from Callie Dalton. I would recommend skipping this one & read instead.

I had to struggle through this one

this is the first superhero romance book I've read and I love it.

Funny, quirky story line with a very different take on the superhero trope. A story about finding where you belong. Narrators were awesome and I'm thrilled to have found another fabulous audio book boyfriend 😍😍

Really enjoyed this.

The story dragged a bit and felt somewhat repetitive, however I loved the setup and the story placement

The performance by Callie was exceptional, but the storyline was not up to Mariana Zapata’s standards. The male lead in this book was extremely repetitive, the male narrator was out of place, and would have been slightly better if Callie just did both parts as it may have glossed over the repetitiveness of the male leads boringness and deadpan tone. Just save the credit/money and if you are really in need to listen to this Audiobook, maybe check out your local library on Libby to trial run it properly before committing to adding this book to your collection.

Not what I was expecting.

First half of this book is repetitive and annoying, with the FMC constantly asking “are you sure?” every few paragraphs.
Was the demographic for this book 13 year-olds? The FMC frequently talks about poo, farts and uses ‘butthead’ as an insult.

If you can tolerate that, the final 25% of this book has some unique world-building and romance.

The voice actors were great

Repetitive and juvenile
