What does the god of love do when he’s suffering from a broken heart? Go to therapy! At least, that was Cupid’s plan until his potential therapist passes him onto someone else. Now we have two gods flying to Lake Tahoe to find Cupid’s latest worth only to learn that her heart beats back!
I’ve been loving this series and I really wanted to love this book, but the romance was a bit of a miss for me. I think the book started off strong as we watched some of our favorite characters hot on the trail for Cupid’s latest worthy. I loved Reed in the previous book, and he was just as delightful as ever, but he felt a little out of place at times this time around. However, I really enjoyed seeing him and it helped take some of my attention away from the romance that lacked chemistry.
Of course, our star couple is Cupid and Mariposa aka Psyche! I was so excited to see Cupid meet and fall in love with his one true love. Sadly, they lacked romantic chemistry. I could see them becoming great friends but the romance just wasn’t there for me. There wasn’t a single spark between them, and the story kept telling me they were in love without showing me they were actually in love. It didn’t help that Pan and Reed were both present and clearly super into each other while Cupid and Mariposa were just sad almost friends.
Overall, this was a good story. It’s unfortunate that the romantic chemistry was non-existent since this is a romance novel, but I am happy with how things turned out for the characters. While you can technically read this as a stand alone story, I do think everyone should at least check out the previous book since the events heavily impact Cupid.
