Quiver: Crossed Swords Edition by G. Eilsel

4.0

4 stars
This is my second book from G. Eilsel and I have to say I really like her style. This novella was hot and sweet, hilarious and a bit bitter at the same time.
I enjoyed very much this unusual love story between a Cherub, who's temporarly working as The Cupid, and a human, a bisexual teacher.
Azrael finds himself in all sort of ridiculous situation, thanks to his clumsiness: a mistake during a job will end with him and Beau strongly attracted to each other.

I loved their dynamic because, while their relationship was evolving, we got to know them under a different light: clumsy awkward Az is actually very determined in bed and he's not shy to ask for what he wants; Beau, confident and at ease with everyone, is more uncertain during intimacy because he never got to have experience with men.
I really liked how Beau helped Az to become more self assured and competent: the parts were Azrael talks about how he's always been treated as an outsider were a little sad.

What prevented me from giving a higher rate:
I'm not sure about how the situation with Delilah ended, but it seemed to me that maybe it should have been some kind of punishment.
I didn't like that there was o safe sex talk between them before intimacy.

I loved Beau and Micah being sort of frenemies and also how things developed at the end.
Overall it was a quick steamy funny story and I recommend it.

I received an ARC of this book from the author and this is my honest review.
