Genre: LGBT Paranormal
Jamie Monday lives in two different worlds. With his family, he’s the golden child of awakened superpowered society. He’s meant to do Great Things and pass on his powers — with the appropriate girl, hand-picked by his mother. He’s already failed at the former, so he can’t bring himself to tell her that the latter isn’t happening, either. With his friends, he’s the social … social director and life of the party. He’s also an out gay man with an appetite for the quick and easy lay. It’s tough to have a relationship when you’re hiding off-the-charts electrical powers, but Jamie doesn’t mind.
Not until the prickly, paddy rocking, geeky-hot new guy at work shows him what he’s been missing, anyhow. Kellan Shea’s singular combination of dirty mouth and pure soul makes Jamie spark right from the beginning. To break through Kelly’s defensive front and get to the gentle heart inside, Jamie will have to reconcile his split life: come to terms with his past, his family, his powers, even his nightmares.
Easier said than done, but if Jamie doesn’t step up and own the truth, he could lose his love before it gets off the ground.

Nobody’s Hero is the third book in the Superpowered Love Series. You don’t need to read in order.
An incredible m/m romance. I really felt for Jamie. So many expectations. His mother wants him to get married to a woman and have children. She doesn’t know he’s gay. You could just see how hard all of this was for him.
By friends he’s known as a party guy and is out as gay. Essentially it’s like leading a double life (poor guy)
He’s meets Kellen who is completely different. He’s more aggressive and flies off the handle a lot.
Lots of chemistry and steamy scenes. All in all another great read in this series.
Can quite easily be read in one sitting.
MM romance, third in series but reads as a stand-alone due to different characters featured in the story. Lots of angst, keeping secrets and going against the communities and Families expectations. Steamy romance with a guaranteed HEA. Thoroughly enjoyed reading their story, lots of issues covered within their story. I’ve spent the day binge reading the first three books in the series.
Jamie Monday was always known as being kind, considerate and friendly to everyone. At work he is openly gay and is known for his one night stands. When he is with his mother, he tries to be the son she wants since he disappointed her when he quit med school. He is afraid to tell her he is gay so she keeps pressuring him to marry the daughter of her best friend. Jamie is living two different lives and it is very stressful. Then he makes Kellan, a computer geek at work. Jamie is instantly atracted to Kellan but Kellan seems anti-social. Jamie doesn’t give up and after awhile Kellan relaxes near him. Jamie enjoys Kellan’s quirky ways and his blunt language. Jamie learns quickly that he wants more than a night with Kellan but he has some secrets that are driving them apart. Jamie is awakened and has a talent with electricity but it is discouraged to tell the sleepers about the special abilities.
Kellan knows he is a geek and not skilled around people. He comes from a big Catholic family which makes it hard for him to come out as gay to his family. His religious beliefs makes him uncomfortable with penetration but he enjoys playing around. When he first met Jamie, he saw him as the cool type of kid who would never be interested in someone like him. As he gets to know Jamie better, he learns he is very kind and considerate. He seems too good to be true until he learns that Jamie has never come out to his mother. Learning about Jamies short-comings make Kellan care for him more. However Jamie is hiding things from him which really annoys him. Can the two make a relationship together?
This is a great book and I really enjoyed Kellan and Jamie. I received a copy of this story in return for my honest review.
This book 3 is another wonderful story held in this world of “sleepers” and “awakened” and I enjoyed so much how the author uses this premise to ensure a very entertaining story about family expectations and their influence in love. Not spoilers, but Jamie and Kellan are simply so great together. A beautiful superpowered love story!
This one was longer than the first two. Jamie is a somewhat of a playboy who not out to his family. Kellan is his total opposite. This was a really good story and fun to read, really enjoyed it! I’m voluntarily reviewing from an advanced copy that I received. My reviews are solely based on my thoughts and opinions.
This story was longer than either of the first two, and contained more personal angst, particularly for MC Jamie. Jamie is something of a gay playboy around his friends, but leads a completely different life with his mother and her friends, who think he is a superstar among the ‘awakened’ and expect him to propagate their kind. The second MC, Kellan, is Jamie’s opposite in many ways. He is an introverted geek with a dirty mouth. This story dragged a bit for me in places, and I missed some of the action from the first two books in the series. I also found the notion that Jamie could hide his gay/partier life so completely from his mother and the community a bit hard to believe. There was more description of the ‘awakened’ community and their customs, but I feel the series could still do with a bit more world-building. I didn’t like this book as well as the first two. It was longer, but didn’t use the additional words to good effect. This is a book that could have benefitted from a dual POV (IMO).
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.
This series just keeps rocking those tropes! Here we have the playboy, Jamie who is bowled over by the geeky, mouthy Kelly. These two have to overcome family pressures, their stereotypical views of each other and Jamie has to do some serious thinking about what kind of man he wants to be. I was initially a bit daunted to see this series has ten books, but now I can’t wait to read them all and suspect if these first three are any indication, I’ll want many more.
This is book three! In this fast paced stand alone series! I’m enjoying reading this series, but I wished the stories were a bit deeper! I read an advanced copy of this book and this is my unbiased review!!
This was a very entertaining read.
I have really enjoyed this series.
I’m looking forward to reading more.
Jamie Monday is not happy with his life. As an awakened in his community, he is expected to do great things, pass on his talent as well as allow his mother to select who he will do that with. So far, he has avoided most of it and he still has not told his mother he is gay. Then he meets the prickly new guy at work and his role as social director and life of the party is not enough. Kellen Shea appeals to Jaimie on so many levels.
These two together were magic. Their chemistry was so strong I am surprised my ereader still functions properly. They did have some issues with trust. Kellen was out while Jamie still had not told his mother, leading to some Awkward moments. In addition, Jamie had the big secret of being awakened. His mother kept telling him a life with someone who is not awakened could never work. Love works in strange ways. Pick this one up and read about how love worked in this story, Nobody’s Hero.
I am absolutely in love with this series! This one is my favorite so far! Kellan and Jamie have just made me fall in love with them! Full of steamy moments and sweetness! I can’t wait to dive right in to the next! I can’t get enough of this series!
The best so far of the series!
I really liked Jamie and Kellan together. Poor Jamie, I really felt for him and you could see how the expectations of his mother were slowly crushing him. Kellan was a bright spot, he had such lovely energy though I did occasionally get frustrated with how quickly he would react. Sometimes, I felt he should have made more of an effort to listen to Jamie before reacting especially given how Jamie respected Kellan boundaries and never pushed for more. Kellan was still a wonderful character though and he really was perfect for Jamie. I’m really enjoying this series so far and I’m looking forward to the next book!
I read the first 3 books in this series. With this one being the third one.
Even though I loved the covers, I liked the premise and the writing there was something missing.
After the second book, I realized that there is “love” in this series but the “superpowered” part of the title is just not there as much as I expected.
The couples in the books are more like normal people falling in love. Some of them have superpowers but they need to be careful and hide because they are being hunted. There is not much action apart from sexy action…
However, this third story had a bit more of a “superhero action” than the others.
With that said, this doesn’t mean that I won’t read the rest of the series. It is a fast, fun read.
P.s. I cannot find the series with the comic cover anywhere… (frustrated much?)
Thank you to @gayromancereviews for the ARCs!
It was okay. I liked the first two books better. I felt Nobody’s Hero was a bit boring. Not for me.
This is book 3 in this series and is about Kellan and Jaime. Jaime has powers but Kelly doesn’t. Told in Jaime’s point of view. He lives a double life, where at home he plays straight, while out with friends, he can let his hair down and be himself. Even though Jaime is smitten, it takes a bit for Kellan to warm up. It was a great book and I recommend.
I received a copy of this book for my review
The Superpowered Love series takes place in a world where there are “sleepers” (normal folks) and “awakened” – people with special powers, either thermal or electrical. The awakened are only known to themselves and fear persecution if found out by everyone else, but they live normal lives among the rest of the world. The books can 100% be read as a standalone.
Jamie is an awakened from a privileged, insular family – as a powerful awakened he has a strong family duty to marry the right awakened girl and make superpowered babies. Only problem is Jamie is gay – and everyone but his mother and her friends know it.
Kelly is a super smart geek from a big Irish Catholic family. He’s one of 7 kids, mildly religious and honest to a fault with a very broken filter. Jamie wants him from day one, but getting Kelly means telling all his truths – something Jamie has never done before.
So far, this is my favorite book of the series – Jamie and Kelly are the best together and Jamie has to confront some super hard truths about who he is, who he wants to be and how active he wants to be in creating his own destiny. This book was well written, sweet, funny and sexy!
