Meddling matchmaker, Gran, keeps trying to set Aimee Beasley up on blind dates with everyone she knows that is single. When Aimee sees her Gran catching the eye of the neighbor’s uncle, Theodore, she decides to step in and play matchmaker for her Gran. Making her plans she realizes that she will have to have the help of her neighbor, Doyle, to make this work. The problem? Doyle is a thirty something professor who Aimee does not get along with. For her Gran’s sake she is willing to put aside their differences and make nice with the neighbor.
My Review:
This is book three of the Heavenly Bites Series, having read each one, I have to say this is my favorite. As fun as it was watching Gran set up each of the girls with their perfect match, it was just as fun to see the tables turned on Gran and her set up. Although I have to believe that Gran knew what Aimee was up to and it was all part of Gran’s big plan. I am sure if I asked her she would tell me this.
Christine S. Feldman writes novellas that manage to tell the whole story in very few pages, but enough pages that you get to sink your teeth into the story and care what is going on. Playing Cupid is the perfect short story. I got to connect with the characters and learn their backgrounds, without a lot of the other information that authors sometimes include that leave you feeling that they need to get on with the story.
If you are looking for a short story I highly recommend this one. It can be read alone, although the whole series is really worth reading.

Here’s what this book is about:”Much as she loves her meddling matchmaker of a grandmother, free-spirited Aimee Beasley is tired of dodging the dull and downright tiresome dates the older woman keeps trying to arrange for her. So when she notices her beloved Gran preening in the presence of a distinguished elderly gentleman who’s been visiting their apartment building, Aimee is delighted at the prospect of turning the tables on her. But her plans to match her grandmother up with the gentleman in time for Valentine’s Day hit a snag when Aimee realizes he’s the uncle of their downstairs neighbor, a stodgy thirty-something history professor named Doyle with whom she butts heads on a regular basis. She’ll need to find a way to make nice and enlist his help, or her plan to see her long-widowed Gran happily matched again will never work. For Gran’s sake, she’s determined to find a way. In the process, she starts to realize that her cranky downstairs neighbor has a softer side she never suspected existed. And when it comes to romantic heroes, history professors may not have gotten a fair shake…”
This book was so cute. I enjoyed this book series.

I'm jumping right in and saying that I LOVED Playing Cupid. Yes, it's true that I also loved the previous books, Pastels and Jingle Bells & Love Lessons but this one was probably my favorite. Either this or Pastels and Jingle Bells. I can't quite choose.
Anyway... I really enjoyed it!
I already liked Aimee in the previous book, Love Lessons. She's probably my favorite of the three girls that have been featured in the series. I also really like her grandmother and I loved how even though Aimee's Gran usually does the matchmaking, this time it was Aimee's turn to play cupid. I also loved Aimee's relationship with her neighbor Doyle and how they weren't exactly warm towards one another until they got to know each other more. Doyle was a great character. I really liked him. Especially together with Aimee. So adorable!
Playing Cupid by Christine S. Feldman was cute as well as touching with not one but two relationships that were blossoming. A perfect Valentine's Day book that everyone should definitely read!
