"Third Cupid novel contains the fresh humor and romance"

The indignity of the penalties for violating the "hands off humans" policy imposed on Venus and Cupid by her father (his grandfather) leaves both stunned and miserable. Jupiter demoted Venus from the Goddess of Love and Romance to the Goddess of Fruit Trees and Gardens. Alas, poor Venus has learned that she suffers from allergies. Cupid is now a goat, which better fits his new role as the God of Flocks and Shepherds. He suffers from constant scratching caused by the endless fleas enjoying a meal on him. Aunt Vesta, the Goddess of Virtue and Hearth, has been named to perform double duty as the Goddess of Love too.

Vesta's plan is to turn the world into a pure place where women remain virgins and men do the honorable thing, not the sex thing. She chooses Olivia "The Ice Queen" Montgomery and Andrew "Drew" Sullivan for her first matchmaking exercise. However, Venus plans to prove that only she is capable of being the Goddess of Love by matching Andrew with Francesca "Franki" Ling. Thus ends the prologue.

The third Cupid novel contains the fresh humor and romance that make the first two tales so much fun to read. The plot never slows down due to the amusing antics of Venus, the fumbling efforts at sexless love by Vesta, and the asides by Cupid triangulating modern mortals into a warm contemporary romance. J.M. Jeffries has written a tremendous novel that adds luster to a great series. Fans of paranormal romances will gain much pleasure from reading all three books in this whimsical and delightful series.
