However, this subplot doesn’t really manifest until much later in the book. Jake and Eliza spend a lot of time together during Eliza’s training and eventually uncover some nefarious elements messing with Eliza’s love enchantments. Both Jake and Eliza have huge crushes on one another, though they refuse to believe the other shares those same feelings. Eliza’s mentor is a former childhood friend, Jake Sanders. In order to get her license, she needs a mentor to log her time and experience during the process. When a family emergency puts Eliza’s dad out of commission right before her brother is due to leave for a Cupid conference, Eliza agrees to step in temporarily, officially get her Cupid license, and fill in for her dad. I was worried that Cupids could enchant people against their will, but I’m happy that it was specified that it just makes existing feelings stronger. Thankfully, enchantments only enhance attraction that is already there and only last a lunar cycle. She could step on their toes, trip into them, etc. The fact that Eliza is incredibly clumsy means that she winds up enchanting strangers.

In fact, she has a hard time believing in love, the kind with a “capital L.” To make matters worse, Eliza is incredibly powerful and, instead of needing to draw blood to do an enchantment as is customary, all she has to do is injure them. Her family runs a very successful Cupid firm with her twin brother Elijah, but Eliza has no interest in the family business. While neither the romance nor the mystery were incredibly strong, the world and the surrounding mythologies could lead to some wonderful future books.Įliza Herman is a descendant of Cupid and exists in a modern world, specifically California, where people turn to Cupids to help with their love life.

There’s a friends to lovers romance, an adorable beta hero (who gifts the heroine with Dunkaroos), and a whodunnit. Genre: Contemporary Romance, Paranormal, Romance, Science Fiction/FantasyĬrazy Cupid Love is an interesting fantasy/paranormal romance that will definitely appeal to mythology nerds.
