Michael and Nina work at the same company and have known each other as friends for five years. However, they haven’t dated as Michael, an economic whiz geek, has been too afraid to approach the beautiful Nina, his programming partner extraordinaire, on a personal level. Cupid is sent to give the couple the joining nudge – or arrow – so that they will get together by the deadline that is crucial in the human course of events!

Mistress Fate, Ursula, is advised by her mixed band of Attorneys that there is a clause in an ancient celestial book that indicates a certain couple, Michael and Nina, will produce an heir who will one day replace her. But the couple has to get together before Valentine’s Day. The group of attorneys makes up the firm of Harvey, Wallbanger, Kent, Smythe, Remington and Leach, Universal Solicitors. A bit tongue in cheek already!

Miss Fate sends her retinue of attorneys to block Cupid in any way they can. Fortunately for Cupid he is a God and immortal because his father, Ares, has to rescue him from one death attack after another. Each attack, including a stabbing, drowning, a hit and run, and a mugging, upsets Cupid as they ruin some of his really nice and expensive suits. It’s a tight race to the deadline as clumsy Cupid keeps falling prey to the not so subtle or skilled attorneys and “would be” assassins!

Don’t let the very beginning of the book fool you – it sounds like it may be a sexual story but the beginning is just a means to introduce Mistress Fate’s personality. Beyond that there are sensual scenes between Cupid’s parents, Ares and Aphrodite, but it is done lovingly and nicely. There are some entertaining scenes with a drag queen dinner theatre too!
Even with the shortness of this story you get a good personality picture of each of the characters. The bumbling antics of the assassins and Cupid are extremely amusing. This is a short but very fun read – definitely providing laughter for stress relief!
