"The reigning queen of paranormal romance." —The Best Reviews
The Fates, three women who control the magical universe, got fired. On the run, they turn to an old friend for help, but that friend died. Her niece, Vivian Kineally, runs her estate. Vivian, who loves comic books. Vivian, who also happens to be psychic.
Dexter Grant, the inspiration for the greatest superhero of all time, lives a simple life. He runs a pet store in Portland, Oregon, and privately calls himself a Kitten Superhero because he saves stray animals. But he aspires to something greater.
The Fates steer Vivian to Dexter. They want his help. Together, Vivian and Dexter must save the Fates—and deal with true love all at the same time.
Praise for Simply Irresistible:
"Simply Irresistible is an enchanting blend of sweet romance, mythology, and magic as Grayson puts her own unique magical stamp on figures from Greek myths and fairy tales, including a deliciously over-the-top super villain and a hero who inspired the creation of Superman. And Grayson's clever, humor-tinged writing is absolutely delightful."—Booklist
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Like a comic book adventure, this witty confection is stuffed with nonstop action, superhuman heroics and a hasty helping of romance. Psychic Vivian Kinneally loves comic book superheroes, but it isn't until she becomes embroiled in a fiasco involving three women who call themselves the Fates, a humanitarian pet store owner and a villain intent on world domination that she begins to believe that comics can have a factual basis. The novel hits fever pitch the moment Vivian opens her door to three damsels in distress who claim to be the Fates, chief justices of a magical otherworld. Having temporarily relinquished their powers, the Fates are now on the run from an unknown person intent on harming them. They seek shelter with Vivian, but when they learn Vivian is untrained and unaware of her powers, they send her to fetch pet store owner Dexter Grant, a sexy, century-old man possessing Superman's face and form as well as some of his superpowers. The pair meet up briefly with the protagonists from Grayson's previous novels (Completely Smitten, etc.) but, ultimately, it is Vivian who must save the day. All the events occur within a few days, which makes for a slim, speedy but surprisingly believable romance. Zany and over-the-top, this playful novel is a delight.
