Xander

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.

Butch

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. Our men find other men in tight supersuits incredibly attractive. Sometimes, they keep these supersuits on while engaging in explicit extracurricular activities with each other (and sometimes they even use bad words!). 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.

Who’s Your Daddy

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2024

Verified Purchase

Butch and Xander meet through a dating app after Xander’s best friend Kai creates a profile for him. Neither one knows that the other one has a secret identity, which makes them enemies. They introduce themselves using their “normie” names rather than their real names, thus hiding their true identities. Their first date goes really well, leading to them going home together.

Butch has never dated a man before, but he is captivated by Xander. Despite being the famous Captain Masculine, he’s submissive in the bedroom calling Xander “Daddy”. Xander, also known as Dr. Anti-Hero, is dominant both in and out of the bedroom and Butch is only too happy to do what he says. They quickly become inseparable, despite nether of them ever having been in a long-term relationship before.

"Not All Himbos Wear Capes" is a captivating novel that revolves around the story of two rivals who unexpectedly connect on a dating app. Xander, a member of the notorious Suarez clan, and Butch, the designated savior of Big City, unknowingly find themselves in a relationship. One of the many things that make this book engaging is Butch's reluctance to use profanity, which adds a layer of humor to the story. The supporting characters in the book are also well-developed and add an intriguing element to the overall plot.

The steamy scenes between the two main characters are incredibly hot and will leave readers wanting more. I personally listened to the audiobook and was thoroughly impressed with the narration. The voice actors did an excellent job of bringing the story to life and made it an enjoyable experience. In conclusion, "Not All Himbos Wear Capes" is a must-read for anyone who loves a good romance novel with a unique and exciting twist. I rate it five stars and would highly recommend it to others.

I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I was a bit on the fence about this book. I’m a huge superhero movie fan, but the idea of a MM romance with superheroes and villains
..ehhhh….I wasn’t quite feeling it!

But I am soooo glad I gave this book a chance! It was fun and exciting and unlike anything I’ve ever read before. Xander and Butch were super cute! I’m not always sold on instalove but I loved these two. Butch was a golden retriever in human form. He was super adorable! He was a natural submissive and relished in the dominance that Xander had over him. Xander was sexy! The way he handled Butch was 🥵🥵.

I had so much fun reading about these two. We got so much in this story! Superhero action, a swoon worthy love story, plot twists, and drool inducing steam.

I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did! If you are on the fence about this story, I HIGHLY suggest you give it a chance!!

I am looking forward to book 2, Wolfgang’s, Xander’s brother story! A man with hands that literally will kill you. I need to see how his story plays out! 🤣

Good luck finding a more entertaining universe

This book is so much fun. The perfect balance of obsessive love and romance, superhero-y action, and some of the spiciest smut you’ll read.

I think one of my favorite parts about this is how, if you strip back all the action and ‘extra’ stuff going on, you still have a really sweet (and filthy) romance at the center of it all to kinda bring it all home. They’re fated mates so there’s definitely an instant connection, but it doesn’t necessarily read like instalove. Their connection is believable and you can see how they work together basically right away.

Their dynamic is a LOT of fun. Butch is an absolute beefcake of a (younger) man, and he loves to be a good boy for Xander. The mix of mild degradation with praise really works, and both MCs love it. If you’re worried about the degradation warning, I would honestly say there’s not much to worry about (unless it’s a trigger for you), because there’s so much pure affection behind it.

I think I’ve mentioned this previously as well after reading the second book, but the humor is top notch. It’s so on the nose sometimes, especially with the funny hero/villain/character names, that it makes me chuckle every single time. It’s sorta cheesy, but only in the best way. Gentlemen Prefer Villains is still my favorite, but there’s no doubt that this is also a solid 5 stars. Hats off to the author for building this fun universe with lots of smut, and still managing to center it all around a good romance.

Não esperava nada, ganhei tudo

Reviewed in Brazil on July 2, 2023

Achei o livro enquanto passeava aleatoriamente pela Amazon em busca de algo interessante para ler e aproveitar meus 3 meses grátis de KU. Estava um pouco sedenta então essa capa me chamou muito a atenção, já que eu também queria algo que saia um pouco da "realidade". Entrei de cabeça sem ler a sinopse nem nada, literalmente fui não esperando grandes coisas, mas achei uma mina de ouro.

O livro não é 100% perfeito, eu admito, mas supriu o que eu estava buscando no momento e caiu certinho com a vibe que eu estava procurando ja faz um tempo e por isso acho que gostei tanto dele, já me fazendo seguir a autora em busca de mais.

O livro em si é rechado de muitas cenas personagens se comendo com gosto (praticamente desde o primeiro capitulo), umas ações desenfreadas, um pouco de gore, muitos kinkys e até um bom desenvolvimento de personagens.

Eu recomendo para quem está procurando algo bem fluido e em que você não precise tanto ficar pensar e só vai com eles página após página, mas também algo que traga uma profundidade de alguma forma pra história e torne elmais completa.

Butch consegue ser um fofo e me conquistou muito. Mas a família do Xandy... Essa tá de parabéns, já tem o meu amor ali e mal posso esperar os outros livros com os outros irmãos.

Creative and witty

Reviewed in Canada on April 5, 2023

This story (as the inside info tells us) is definitely more along the lines of The Boys and not your typical hero story.

That being said, I think the violence and mayhem of this story not only makes sense but lends a bit more character to both Butch and Xander.

The world building in this novel, while not fully developed or explained, is interesting and lends itself to more of the intricacies being developed more in the rest of the series. The hints and bits of the past that are given in this novel are enough to sustain the plot and keep the reader intrigued while also allowing them to understand the world more as the story unfolds without a lot of exposition dumping.

Overall this was a great start to a series and I look forward to more characters getting their fated mates (a rare combo for a super hero series as well and an interesting take). I hope we get to see more of our adorable Himbo and his grumpy love in upcoming instalments.

Loved the quirky, cheeky writing style, phenomenal world building and fantastic characters who had super hot chemistry. The structural politics n hidden identity add a layer of suspense that had me on the edge of my seat.

Not the usual hero vs villain

Reviewed in Italy on October 22, 2023

Verified Purchase

Before the story even begins, the fun warnings and advisement about content at the forefront of the book already set the mood, good and bad are more grey tones than clear-cut ideals, capes aren't necessary but special suits are, and superpowers can be manipulated by politics and greed.
Dark up to a certain point, sweet with hearts and surprising feelings, spicy with a bit of kink, fun to read for any Marvel or DC aficionado.

Voilà un livre qui m'aura tenu sur mes gardes. Je ne m'attendais pas du tout à la direction que ce livre a prit. Vraiment original et bien écrit. J'ai adoré les personnages et les situations. Je ne peux pas trop en dire pour éviter de spoiler mais il est vraiment bien. On est loin des livres de super héros bien propre et gentils. Vraiment une bonne surprise. Je continue la saga avec plaisir. Le livre audio vient de sortir, je cours l'écouter 😊
