First, I have to give the author a lot of thumbs up for uniqueness and plot. You don't see many romances with superhero heroes and heroines. Also loved that the bad "guys" were female. Nice touch!The setting is mostly a superhero lair, complete with hidden cameras , an underground driveway, and booby traps. There are two conflicts: The head honcho (hero) has permitted and sorta "hired" four gargoyle women, knowing full well they are bad seeds and after his lair/operation, but he wants to keep his enemies closer and find a way of killing them.The other conflict is a romantic one: Does he love the heroine? Did he bring her back (she had the superhero group previously) because he loves her and missed her or because he needs her help to kill the gargoyles?The story is very climatic.Problems: This is an idea that could have been expanded on a lot. More scenes, more details, and def more emotion would have been nice. At times the writing came across as cold and unfeeling, just far too "to the point".
