And for those of you wondering about the age difference, she’s 29 about to be 30 and he is 35. You are welcomeeee :) Mariana Zapata's latest work took me by surprise as it deviated from her usual style. It offers a delightful blend of her signature slow-burn romance, but this time with a grumpy superhero. How can one resist?! aaanywho, i'm not mad i read this because really i'll read anything MZ coughs up. to sum it up, this was utterly forgettable and i imagine all i'll remember is that superhero part I CANNOT COMPREHEND THE LOGIC. the worst part is… THEY FORGIVE HER. they straight up went on their merry way as if this was just another day for them 🫥 And now that I've finished it, I can definitely see why this wasn't a hit for a lot of people. MZ takes the slow burn train as par for the course. But this thing? Took slow to a whole other level.

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. Gracie Castro vive una vida de solitaria. Desde que murieron sus abuelos, sólo se ha tenido a sí misma. Ha aprendido a estar bien con ello ya que es la única opción que tiene. Entonce, un día, un superhéroe gruñón irrumpe en su vida, pero literalmente. Este hombre acaba en su jardín por un accidente y acaba muy malherido. Gracie sabe de quién se trata y aunque realmente no quiere, acaba ayudándolo y cuidandolo. Entonces inevitablemente la vida de ellos dos se junta y no creen que pueda volver a separarse." Also, there was a lot more...filler than her books usually have. A LOT more downtime where not all that much was happening. A LOT of things that felt repetitious. What the hell is the Trinity, you ask? Many people are unsure what the Trinity is, but the majority of humanity assumed they were superheroes, and they were certainly correct. The Primordial, the Centurion, and the Defender are Trinity's members. yes bitch, we know he’s hot…he’s henry cavill for pete’s sake but tell us more about how you think he’s sweet and caring 🙃

Oficialmente Mariana Zapata es capaz de escribir cualquier cosa y hacerla épica, este libro es muy diferente de sus otras publicaciones pero siempre siendo fiel a su estilo. By 30-40% you see how Gracie and The Defender's relationship is coming to fruition, how he stops being so grumpy and slowly starts to open up to Gracie. As always, the build up to their relationship was a 10/10, it's a slow slow slow slow burn, but when it happens.... I'm not going to lie, it took me till about the 20% mark to truly get into this book. It had a bit of a slow start for me, but as the book went on I loved it more and more. The last half especially was perfect. Gracie and her grumpy hero stole my heart and this book left me with the biggest smile on my face. It was magical and I didn't want it to end. on top of that, we come to find out that the reason alex crash landed in gracie’s front yard was because...

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. Sadly and with regret, it's a no. I'm not going to say that I hated it because it's a strong word but I also don't think this was good... The more I think about it, the more I think it was the laziest plot I have encountered in a while and the execution wasn't better. 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)

i guess this brings me to the main problem i had with this book and that was the romance between gracie and alex. i know MZ does slowburns and i completely anticipated the romance being developed later in the book but it felt like it never happened 😭 I stayed up all night to read it in one go. Worth every second of lost sleep. Just a perfect superhero slow burn romance’

But Gracie was okay. She got a lot better as the book went on because she stopped crying so damn much. The new novel from the author of TikTok sensation, From Lukov With Love! No one writes slow burn like Mariana Zapata and her millions of fans agree! expected to love this, but sadly it was just an okay read for me. debated giving it just 2 stars tbh, but settled on 3 for now. I also missed some more details about the ‘superheroes’, there was an explanation but not much. There was also not much action in the story, after all the fear of Gracie, the ending was a bit of an anti-climax for me, it left me a bit dissatisfied. I missed an epilogue too. If you like a Slowburn Romance, Grumpy/Sassy, amazing banter and a little bit of spice then I highly recommend you read this book!!’i must say, i’m glad MZ didn’t release a single promo for this book prior to releasing it because i may have actually disliked it 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’s done it again! This book didn’t disappoint, I can buy any book by Mariana without reading anything about it and know I’ll love it!’
