Scatter (Heart of Heroes Book 1) Kindle Edition

When Deputy US Marshal Danielle ‘Danny’ Martin was told she’d gotten a promotion, she expected to be leading her own fugitive retrieval team. Instead, she got transferred to Pontian Florida of all places, and assigned to a Superhero support detail for Focus, a seemingly immortal superhero who is also one of the most famous lesbian icons on the planet.
Bad enough she’s got to spend every day working with a woman she’s had a crush on since she was five years old, but when she arrives at her new post, things start getting weird. It turns out that Focus asked for her by name, and it quickly becomes apparent that Focus wants to be more than just coworkers, or even friends.
After Focus has a violent reaction to Danny getting hurt in the line of duty, she starts looking into why the Superhero might be so fixated on her. She begins to suspect that seeing the future might be one of Focus’ powers, but when a mission leaves her stranded thirty years in the past, right at the start of Focus’s superhero career, everything becomes clear, except why the Focus in the past can barely seem to tolerate her presence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Basically perfect. 10/5 stars.

I bought the book, then let it sit there until one day I had read everything else in my library, and don't feel like searching for something new. I can't say why I did that; the cover is awesome, the synopsis is right up my alley, but I just let it sit. Maybe because I read another super gay super hero book recently that I absolutely loved, and I wanted some space from the theme....
Anyway, this is one of my new favorite books.
Everything about it is awesome, the plot, the characters, the pacing, the quality of writing, all the stuff I usually nerd out about in reviews...I wouldn't change a thing. Except I want a hard copy. And the audiobook of there is one. And a movie. Its not super dark or gritty, so maybe not Marvel, but this would fit neatly into the DC universe/multiverse.
Also, I will be making a point to follow this author. You should too.
I read wlw fiction a lot. On average about 350 books per year between Kindle, Scribd, Audible, and random bookstore finds, not including fanfic.
I love a lot of books, and tend to rate books based on my enjoyment of them, then leave reviews where I pick them apart anyway. So, when I say this book lands in my top 20 favorite books in the wlw fiction genres, I'm putting it above literally thousands of other books I've greatly enjoyed. This is one I'll read annually most likely.

That isn't saying it's the best written, or the most emotionally moving, or has the top dialog. It's not the funniest or the anything*est* either.

It's more that this book was so well rounded and just so incredibly enjoyable, that it stands out to me in a big way.

I'm excited for book 2, whenever it happens, whether it's a continuation of the same main characters stories, centers on side characters from book 1, or sets up new characters in the same universe, I'll be loyally following along.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars for one of the best WLW superhero books I've read!
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2022

I made the mistake of starting this book at bedtime on a Saturday night and before I knew it, 2:30 AM had me in it's clutches. Regretfully I was forced to put it down for something trivial, like sleep. I had so much to do the next day (on little sleep) and couldn't come back and finish until after dinner. I've still got the book hangover.

What I liked:
The characters were unique, talented AND flawed in their own ways. Danny had a successful career and was a badass long before she went to work in the super unit. Focus was overpowered and phenomenal and her attitude provided more than a little mystery to the plot.

I didn't expect what happened when it happened, nor the many other things discovered within the "meat" of the book. It's great to read a book full of action, romance, and adventure that isn't completely predictable. I also liked the fact that there wasn't a ton of angst, just enough to understand the emotional consequences to what was happening.

What I didn't like:
Lost sleep and a lack of book 2.

Overall, this truly is one of the best superhero books I've read. It's a well-written mix of fantastical creatures, extraordinary powers, and WLW love. I will add that for other readers, I consider this more of a love story than big epic superhero battle. Yes, they do fight antagonists throughout, including a longer antagonist plot arc, but I don't think that's the REAL focus <= see what I did there? of this novel. It's about two people that fall in love, and all the ways they get there.

Well done. I'll be checking out Molly Bragg's sequels for this series in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story, likeable characters
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2023

The story is well thought out, many common tropes of time travel like needing to be super careful not to change the past are ignored, which I quite enjoy, as trying not to affect the world around you is simply impossible, and any changes you made already happened, simply solving paradoxes by saying that they just can't happen, making the story feel far more real. While this story revolves around time travel, it is definitely not the focus (pun fully intended). the relationships between the characters, especially Danny doing her best to save Focus from her self denial and misplaced feelings of duty stand center stage and are treated in a mature manner that greatly enhances the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book captured me
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2022

This is definitely outside of my typical read because most sapphic novels and stories are smutty reads with little character development and even less plotline development. This book, however, was not that at all. The author actually provides relatable emotional depth to these characters and their stories that makes you want to keep reading. She also paces the action and storyline in a way that's doesn't bog down the flow. Was it a little predictable? Yes but, honestly, sometimes I think we want a read that has an ending we actually desire instead of one that leaves us hanging or devastated or filled with some other negative emotion. For me, this story was about the journey the author took to get to the end that made this it so unique, compelling, and perfect for re-reading when you need to lighten your mood in chaotic and dark times.
The cover art also caught my attention. I'm all about strong female leads in any genre and to see a comic book style super hero cover with female superheroes grabbed me immediately. After reading the book, I think there should be a comic arc around Focus and Scatter.
I originally purchased the Kindle edition but have since purchased the hard copy to add to my physical collection of books which is something I only do for my absolute favorite reads.

5.0 out of 5 stars I want more

Such an amazing story. I think this is the feel good kind. The characters are sort of wholesome and even though there's a bit of friction, it's the sweet and amusing kind. So there's little to no drama, considering the future or the past is already "known" to some of them. It was anything but boring, if that's something one would expect, and seeing them figuring things out was so enjoyable and entertaining.

I hope to see them more in the present (or future), because even though it was nice to follow them up in the past, there's a whole bunch of characters in the future that I'd love to see more of.

Thank you so much, I really loved this. I felt the story and plot were interesting and well paced and I always wanted to read more. But for me the way the main characters developed and grew together I thought was just adorable. I thought the dialogue and the interaction between them was just really insightful and showed a lot of emotional intelligence. It gave me a wonderful warm feeling all the way through and left me with wanting to hear more about them and their stories. Thank you again, any chance of a follow up?

I read a LOT and not often sci-fi and I had many nights with my kindle looking at me sleeping out of exhaustion because I did not want to put down this book.
I am in awe how the whole story had been imagined and so well written.
There is everything you may be looking in a ff romance, humour, love, so much love and so well described, fun, scary a bit but all turn out to melt in front of my eyes.
I finally put down this book without even trying to fast forward reading. Which never, ever happen to me.
So congrats to the author ! and many thanks for this awesome moment.
