Laura Sweeney is desperate to get a boyfriend, so she prays to Mercury for help. Mercury enlists Cupid to finish off the job, so he is given a disguise as a beautiful girl to go and befriend Laura and find her perfect mate, but under 1 condition, the disguise ends on the 25th day. Cupidity wrecks havoc as soon as she gets there. People from the opposite ends of the social ladder start falling in love, under Cupiditys bow and arrow.
But one day, something goes horribly wrong and Laura pierces Cupidity with one of her own arrows. Cupidity loses all recollection of herself and Laura tries to find a way to reverse the spell before time runs out. She contacts a Conjure Woman, but that makes the situation worse. The only way to reverse the problem is to find Venus.
I thought that this book was ok. I liked the mixing of Roman mythology and modern day life. Cupidity was a bit cheesy, but it makes a fun, easy read, especially when you need a break from reality. Id give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
