Book Review: Cupid's Shot

 


Romance Tropes:
Second Chance (at a first chance), Friends to Lovers, Small Town, Holiday Romance, He Falls First, Secret Admirer

Since when does Aaron Olson have abs like that? I haven’t seen him since high school, but now I find myself desperate to see much more of him.

Sarah Anderson's plan for the Cupid's Crush event at the local bar, High Five, is straightforward: enjoy some playful banter and score a free drink. After a decade on the West Coast, Sarah’s still adjusting to life back in her small Wisconsin hometown, surrounded by familiar faces—until one of them completely catches her off guard. Aaron Olson, the once scrawny high school wrestler, is now tending bar shirtless with fluffy angel wings strapped to his back, revealing a physique that is distracting in the best way.

What starts as light-hearted banter turns into a flirtatious game of cat and mouse, where Sarah learns that you shouldn’t judge someone by who they were in high school—because they might just surprise you in the most irresistible ways.

In this flirty and steamy Valentine’s themed novella, discover the thrill of seeing an old friend in a whole new light, and watch sparks fly as past perceptions are shattered and new attractions take hold.

(This is Book #2 in an interconnected series. It is encouraged, but not essential, to read Santa's Coming before reading Cupid's Shot.)


My Review

Each novella in this series can be read as stand alones but you are going to want to read them all. If cupid looked like Aaron, I too would want to me struck by love. This book is one quick and steamy read. 

Who knew that the wrestler back in school would turn out to be such a hunk. Aaron is looking way to sexy with his abs on full display and his angel wings. Sarah can't help but notice. Aaron has had a crush on Sarah for a long time. He decides to be her "secret admirer". 

Once, these two shared their first kiss, it was all uphill from there. Things between these two got steamy real fast. 

It was nice to see Emily from Santa's Coming and Rachel as well. I can't wait to read Rachel's story next.
