Jill Shalvis | Fairest of Them All...Not Hardly. We Want To Know Which Heroines Kick Butt!

Romance novels are all about strong women, but in my latest novel, HE'S SO FINE, Olivia goes above and beyond trying to save our hero, Cole, from drowning. She jumps off the dock before realizing a) he doesn’t really need any help and b) she can’t really swim.

In honor of her somewhat misguided heroics and his nickname for her—Supergirl—I wanted to rank my top five female superheroes. And don’t worry about Olivia, Cole knows that the best way to stop hypothermia is to use body heat.

#5 The Invisible Woman

Because everyone wants to be able to hear and see things without anyone knowing.

#4 Rogue

This Southern Belle learns to not to take anything from anybody.

#3 Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Talk about tough—she is a Vampire Slayer who has to also survive High School!

#2 Catwoman

Because I wish I was as graceful as a cat and I could flirt with Batman.

#1 Wonder Woman

This girl knows how to accessorize. Bullet-deflecting bracelets, a lasso of truth, and an invisible jet. Sign me up.

About HE'S SO FINE

For Olivia Bentley, Lucky Harbor is more than the town where she runs her new vintage shop. It's the place where folks are friendly to strangers-and nobody knows her real name. Olivia does a good job of keeping her past buried, not getting too cozy with anyone . . . until she sees a man drowning. Suddenly she's rushing into the surf, getting up close and personal with the hottest guy she's ever laid hands on.

Charter boat captain Cole Donovan has no problem with a gorgeous woman throwing her arms around his neck in an effort to "save" him. In fact, he'd like to spend a lot more time skin-to-skin with Olivia. He's just not expecting that real trouble is about to come her way. Will it bring her deeper into Cole's heart, or will it be the end of Olivia's days in little Lucky Harbor?
