I’m so thrilled that Josh, the narrator of “The Accidental Cupid,” is finding fans. He’s a little edgy, that guy, and he can come off a bit snarky until you get to know him. I received a fantastic Valentine from the dames at Bachelors and Bombshells, who appreciate Josh for the sweet, dirty soul that he is.

Overall, I thought that it was bold, quick, and refreshing. Josh’s snarky, innuendo-laden internal monologue was hilarious and at times eerily similar to my own thoughts of what was happening on the page.

I say, suspend disbelief and cut the author some slack. This isn’t The Odyssey;  Mayne has 50 pages to give readers sweet, sexy, funny, Valentine’s Day romance, and he delivered all of that and more.

Thanks, Catherine! I love your writing style, and I’ll be back to read more reviews–you two have a great voice.

Many thanks to Lucy at Hearts on Fire for her four-heart review of “The Accidental Cupid.” It’s always such fun to see what readers expect from a story, and whether it lives up to those expectations. I was glad that Lucy seemed pleased:

I have to say – I thought from the beginning that this was going to be just a sex-a-thon and instead it was unexpected and adorable.  As Josh says, “Somewhere there’s a kitten trading his ball of yarn for a fifth of vodka because he knows he’ll never be this cute.”

Thanks to Cindy, writing at The Blog of Sid Love, who gave “The Accidental Cupid” a four-star release day rating. This is the first shorter work I’ve published, and I am all kinds of relieved to get a positive response. In fact, Cindy closes her review with this: “This is the first story I’ve read by this author but I will be looking for more.”

This made my entire week!
