Publisher Description

Nick Garret is jaded, cynical, footloose and corruptible. He's flypaper for females, and he likes it that way. They stick for a while, then fly away. So does he. Then, one rain-slick night, a young woman steps in front of his pickup truck, and his jaded, cynical life takes a sharp swerve toward trouble.

Calliope is a banished Fae on probation for granting a wish gone bad. Her punishment is Nicholas Garret, deemed unredeemable by Freya, the Fae Goddess of Love. If she fails to help him pair three couples in everlasting bliss, he's doomed to never experience real love. And she will share his fate - as a mortal.

Nick can't decide if this charming, exasperating woman is a dream come true, or a saucy, sexy nightmare sent to drive him insane. Yet something about her makes him want to rise to her challenge. He'll do anything to make her stick around a while.

"For anyone who loves myhtology and stories of the Greek pantheon come down to earth to interact with its inhabitants, this is a great book. Calliope has to get the male protagonist, Nick, to help her set up three couples or they both will become numb to love...forever. Cute book, with clever ideas."

    " I thought it would be terrible, but it was interesting, sweet and engaging. The cover art is hokey, but don't let that put you off. This is a solidly executed story. "

    " A quick, fun and light read and like most of the other reviewers, it was a Kindle freebie! I found the story to be simple, interesting and enjoyable and would recommend it to a friend as 'transition' reading whether you read several books at once like I do or if you need a break in between books.

    " For me the book (and the story) was so-so. I would probably quit reading it half way through but... I was on the train to UMB and I was in this really crappy mood and so... i finished the book in one go. Nothing special but still nice. "

    " I liked this book. It was romantic without being sappy. I would recommend it as a light read. However, the ending could have been a bit more detailed. I would have liked an epilogue. "

    " Very predictable, but it was a cute little read that I just couldn't put down. I'm a sucker for a lighthearted paranormal romance! Recommended for those not looking for an epic tale of arch-enemies and whatnot. Really quick read. "

    " This was a great story to read. Poor Nick didn't stand a chance when Calliope appeared on the scene. I will admit to holding my breath near the end - even though I knew this story had to have a HEA ending. Highly recommended. "
