Cupid's Kiss

This is the culmination of Harbough's Cupid series, and is well wroth waiting for. I only managed to read Book 2 (Cupid's Darts) and not the first in the series, Cupid's Mistake. I was disappointed with the second book, feeling that the only characters worth being interested in were Psyche and Harry.Finally, here, we get Psyche's own story, in which, as her mother puts some pressure on her to find a husband, she realises with a shock that she's in love with her childhood friend, Harry... who she can't have because he is actually Eros, the God of Love, in disguise. Harry has been looking for his wife for the last thousand years, and Psyche is helping him in his quest.But now she loves him... and circumstances reveal to Harry that he loves her too. Both manage to hide their feelings quite successfully until, in a gesture of friendship, Harry kisses her.The book becomes very poignant at times, especially when Psyche pleads with Harry to make her fall in love with someone else; but thankfully, as the cover notes tell us, Harry realises who Psyche really is.The subsidiary romance involving Artemis is also delightful. This book really is a keeper!

The final book in Karen Harbaugh's Cupid trilogy, this book absolutely was the best of the three. Although I enjoyed all of them, this is the one that I go back and reread from time to time. We finally get to see Psyche and Harry together after watching their friendship and amusing stunts in the previous two stories about Psyche's brother and sister. Not remembering much about my mythology, I also enjoyed the background information that Ms. Harbaugh included - and the side plot with Diana the Huntress was also very enjoyable. Absolutely recommended reading for anyone who enjoys Regencies - and many who typically don't!

I had eagerly awaited the release of Cupid's Kiss, having read the other two Cupid books by Ms Harbaugh and was not disappointed at all. The tension between Cupid (known as Harry)and Psyche Hathaway was wonderful. Lots of zing! He was convinced that his friend was his long lost wife, but she was not so sure. Cupid does his best to make her remember including some heavy duty kissing. But Psyche is frightened of becoming someone else. In the end both get what they want and save the world too!

I was walking through the supermarket and glanced at the rack of books. My eyes were immediately drawn to the cover of Cupid's Kiss. I hadn't heard of this author before and haven't read the first two Cupid books (tho I am looking forward to reading them). I thought I would read the first chapter or two before bed and see if I was going to like it. Well, as I closed the book after reading the last page later that night, I decided I liked it VERY much! I couldn't stop smiling and laughing and saying, "What a fun book that was!" I was listening to Sarah Brightman's collection of arias "Time to Say Goodbye" and there is one on there that I thought went perfectly with this book. It was titled "There's No Time For Us." If you check out this CD and this book I think you may agree with me. I have long loved Regency England and Greek Mythology, and I loved every minute of reading this book!
