Hearts and Halos by L. Eveland

4.0

A sweet, fun story. I really enjoyed the setup with the so-called monster going all sweet and caring for his human lover. Cupid doesn’t make the best first impression but is swift to do an about-face for Charlie once they get to know each other. Cupid is painted as both a successful warrior and a himbo, and that combination did require a bit of suspension of disbelief. It didn’t bother me too much though because Charlie deserves all the loving, protecting and compliments and Cupid certainly delivers. I liked Charlie a lot; he’s such a genuinely nice guy and has been so hurt. He is still licking his wounds after getting out of an abusive relationship, and his feelings for Cupid take him by surprise—in a good way. There’s some more action-driven, suspenseful scenes as the mystery of Cupid’s missing halo unfolds. I really liked how all of that worked out. The secondary characters are mostly familiar faces, which was quite nice.
