Reviews of The Accidental Cupid

Bachelors and Bombshells gives The Accidental Cupid four smooches

February 14, 2014

AccidentalCupidCoverSmallI’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.

Hearts on Fire gives “The Accidental Cupid” four hearts

February 12, 2014

AccidentalCupidCoverSmallMany 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.”

Sid Love Gives “The Accidental Cupid” Four Stars

February 6, 2014

AccidentalCupidCoverSmallThanks 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!
