When a single arrow inspires romance, can you really trust happy endings?

Sometimes love needs a shove.

Eliza Herman (a.k.a. The World's Worst Cupid) has spent her entire life carefully avoiding her calling as a Descendant of Eros. After all, happily-ever-afters are nothing but a myth. But when a family crisis requires her to fill in at the local Cupid-for-hire shop, Eliza finds herself enchanting couples under the watchful eye of her assigned mentor, Jake Sanders...the one man she could never get out of her head.

Before long, Eliza is rethinking her stance on romance—until things start going terribly wrong with her enchantments. Now Eliza and Jake must fight to unravel a conspiracy that could destroy thousands of relationships, including their own...and spell the end of Love itself.

No pressure, right?

      In a modern and magical world where Greek myths are very real, one matchmaking Cupid learns to harness her powers of enchantment.Eliza Herman comes from a long line of Cupids, or as she prefers, Erosians. Unfortunately, she's a Cupid who hates romance after experiencing years of embarrassing accidents. Injuring a person makes them susceptible to falling in love with the first person they see, and, sadly, Eliza is a top-notch klutz. But when her parents' Cupid agency is in dire straits, due to the ever evolving matchmaking technology and her father's sudden heart attack, Eliza is willing to strap on her Cupid bow for the sake of helping them out. Temporarily. Because Eliza is a little rusty and never fully finished getting her Cupid license, she needs a mentor: Jake Sanders, fellow Cupid and former childhood best friend. Heger (Semi-Scripted, 2016, etc.) creates a light, bubbly, heart-filled environment in present-day California that will tickle any reader who has a weakness for mythology. However, some of the more integral details regarding the nuts and bolts of Cupid-ing are absent; the worldbuilding takes a while to fully coalesce. The romance is adorable, though, with Jake first surprising Eliza with her favorite childhood snack, Dunk-A-Roos--discontinued in the U.S.--which he's brought back from Canada for her. As the black sheep, Eliza has a bittersweet relationship with her family. She longs for their approval, but the success of her twin brother, Elijah, in the family business often makes her feel invisible. Because the majority of the action lies in establishing a contemporary Cupid mythos, the growing relationship between the main characters suffers at times. Still, the cheekiness is positively infectious.An effervescent, pick-me-up romance.

      Eliza Herman may be a Cupid, but she has no desire to work for her family's agency, which rekindles romance and matches potential partners through enchantments. When the business reaches the verge of collapse, however, Eliza reluctantly steps in to help. To become a licensed Cupid, she has to be mentored by Jake Sanders, her childhood crush, who has grown even more handsome and charming. Just as her skills start to improve, her enchantments begin turning sour. Eliza and Jake must work fast to figure out what is going wrong because both the family business and their own budding relationship are at risk. Heger's characters are not richly developed, but this whimsical Greek-gods-inspired world is thoughtfully created, and the writing is funny and smart. Readers in the mood for a quirky, entertaining romance with a touch of magic will be enchanted.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
