Elaine White's Life in Books
The Author
Elaine White is the author of multi-genre MM romance, celebrating 'love is love' and offering diversity in both genre and character within her stories.
Growing up in a small town and fighting cancer in her early teens taught her that life is short and dreams should be pursued. She lives vicariously through her independent, and often hellion characters, exploring all possibilities within the romantic universe.
The Winner of two Watty Awards – Collector's Dream (An Unpredictable Life) and Hidden Gem (Faithfully) – and an Honourable Mention in 2016's Rainbow Awards (A Royal Craving) Elaine is a self-professed geek, reading addict, and a romantic at heart.

Reviewed for Divine Magazine
This was amazing! It was such a fantastic Young Adult story, with plenty of character development, a kick-ass plot and and still suitable for all ages.
It has action.
It has drama.
It has teen romance.
Oh, and it has a really AWESOME cover!
There were Superheroes. Supervillains. Super complicated romantic entanglements and lots and lots of cheese-tastic goodies. Think classic Comic books, geek fuelled, high octane, ridiculous superhero vs supervillain drama, with a dash of young adult hormones.
We have a strong, independent, African American supervillain of a lead character in Max, who is all kinds of snark, opinions, hormones and more. Then we have the blonde, perfect superhero Crush, who lives up to his name in more ways than one. Together, as Max and Crush, they're awkward teens, trying to bridge the gap between popular and unpopular, with developing new feelings for each other. As Dynaman (who can fly!) and The Crush (with great powers of strength), they're highly invested Arch Enemies.
In this, you get a superhero you can be proud of and a supervillain you wish you were brave enough to be! What more could you ask for?

“Max felt a grin bust out of his face. “This was great. We should go home, though!”
“Okay, just let me grab my–Max!” screamed Crush as Max pushed him off the building.
“Don't worry,” Max shouted, “I'll catch you!” and dived off the roof after him.”
