Spandex and the City

LOCAL GIRL SWEPT OFF HER FEET
Mild-mannered publicist Holly Phillips is unlucky in love. She's embarrassed beyond belief when the handsome stranger she meets in a bar turns out to be 'Ultimate Man' - a superpowered hero whose rescue attempt finds her hoisted over his shoulder and flashing her knickers in the newspaper the next day.
But when Holly's fifteen minutes of fame make her a target for something villainous, she only has one place to turn - and finds the man behind the mask holds a lot more charm than his crime-fighting alter-ego.
Can Holly find love, or is superdating just as complicated as the regular kind?

light superhero fun Holly Phillips is single and looking for love, however she doesn't expect that her next moment is going to be flashing her knickers at the press as she's being rescued by Ultimate Man; Centerton's own superhero.  Holly keeps finding herself in trouble and having to be rescued and Ultimate Man finds her attractive, but can he allow himself to love; after all his attraction is keeping her in danger.
 
It's fun, light and from the point of view of a superheroes girlfriend, it pokes loving humour at a lot of superhero tropes and is dedicated to Mary Sues everywhere. Holly is a fun character with a lot of spunk and you can tell that the author had a blast writing it.
