This was close to perfect. Loved every second of it. I need an entire series on this superhero team and more CB/Soledad! <3

"High-heat f/f romance" is RIGHT okay. It would probably help to not read this in the subway like I did lol.

Overall, I loved the fluff between Cinnamon Blade and Soledad Castillo and the superhero bits so much. They certainly had great chemistry and great build up, but I do wish we could've seen some pining in the beginning. We got thrown in to all this history between these lovely girls but it was more told to us than shown.

More to come later..

F/f sex with minimal plot but also superhero shenanigans. Well written, but some of the sex bits didn't really work for me.

I'm a Shira Glassman/Cinnamon Blade Fan Girl. All the squee. All the joy. All the happy sighs. All the excitement. I loved absolutely everything about this story. ESPECIALLY the dinner out. ;)

A cute, steamy romance! It took me a hot second to get into the grove of the story, but once I was in, I was IN. Blade and Soledad are adorable, and I can totally see the Knit One Girl Two ladies, Clara Ziegler and Danielle Solomon, going gaga over them. Definitely fanfic worthy

This was a fun story - one you could read in a sitting if you wanted to.

It‰ЫЄs got everything! Superheroes! Vampires! Lycanthropes! Lesbians! Jews!

I mean - a well-written LGBT superhero story is a delight; but then my girlfriend is Jewish and I loved all the little references. Especially:

In describing the leader of her superhero team: His voice held that familiar tone of grim determination she knew so well. He took tikkun olam‰ЫУhealing the world‰ЫУvery seriously, especially since he had extra might to work with.

(I love the idea of tikkun olam!)

Keep in mind, it warrants an ‰ЫПR‰Ыќ rating, but it‰ЫЄs worth reading if your stories don‰ЫЄt need ‰ЫПPG‰Ыќ sensibilities.
