This book made a cheater out of me. Ask me how, I dare you. Oh all right, don't be so pushy, I'll tell you. You know how it usually goes, you pick up a book, you read it, you form your opinion while reading it, you put it down satisfied. Sometimes if the book is not doing it for you - you dnf it. Right? Weeeeeeell. That's not exactly how it happened for me this time. This time I picked up a book, started reading it, realized the writing felt flat but the story just seemed interesting enough to follow. But then it got more and more tedious, so how did I cheat? I skipped through it. I wanted to see where it was going and yes, if I had to be absolutely honest, I wanted to get to the sexy parts. Because, hello, reverse harem, right? There was bound to be sexy stuff in this damn unreadable book. Sure, it might seem a bit desperate, but hey, I'm on a dry spell, so don't judge! So I skipped paragraphs, I skipped pages, I skipped dreadful inner monologues just to find out... Wait for it. Waaiit for it... There was no sex!
Hell, this was not what I expected when I picked up a reverse harem book. But then I thought, well, there's like five books in the series, maybe the author was just taking it slow. Right? So I skipped through the second book too, reading enough that I saw how the story progressed, how the characters fared. And I maybe got to like 80 % or so and then I stomped my feet and said: "Enough is enough". I couldn't handle the bad writing and the annoying as hell MH, and still - no sex. So I DNFed it. I couldn't even cheat all the way through. So there, I'm a half-way cheater!
Over and out

I'm in love!! It's exactly what I needed while trying not to have a nervous breakdown with all of this terrible weather that's freezing my pipes! 😂 I laughed or had a smile on my face the entire time I read it!
The characters are perfection! I adore the heroine and all three heroes on so many levels! 😍 Their banter is everything!
The whole scenario going on makes the story hilarious, entertaining, adorable, and so much fun!
I honestly can't think of a single thing that I didn't enjoy, but brace yourselves......
There isn't any sex in this one.
It's definitely going down in the next one though, and the way the story is written made me not miss it too much.
😱 I know! I can't believe I said that shit either. 🤣 I wanted it to happen, but it made sense that it would happen in the next installment instead. When it does, I know it's going to be hot af with those guys! 🔥
I'm going to jump straight into Bonds of Cupidity soon which is probably another reason I'm not as concerned with that particular aspect. Lol I've got nothing to do but worry and wait! This author is helping me through a stressful time, and I'm so thankful. 🙌🏼
Paranormal RH fans, this one's for you!

I finally caved and read this book. 1000% glad I did. What's not to love, you have Cupids, The Fae, witty banter! The whole shebang!
Emelle is hands down one of my favourite FMC. The way she takes everything in stride and her humour *Chef's kiss *
I can't wait to see her relationship with her anchors evolve. I also hope to see more of Belren.

Well, this is exactly what I was expecting it to be and I'm pretty happy with it!
✅
CUPIDS WERE UNIQUE and I enjoyed this new type of magic. An invisible creature whose job is to blow flirtations and lust around at people is pretty hilarious! I just wish Emelle had used her powers more frequently, but I guess she didn't really have many opportunities
✅
EMELLE'S LONELINESS was written really well. If your job was to make other people fall in love and have sex and you could never talk to anyone, let alone
feel anything, life would definitely get pretty lonely
❌
THE ROMANCE was super tame so far. There's obviously a lot of flirting and banter, but there was only one kiss in the entire book! Seems like this is a trend in the rh books I've read so far and I'm not sure if I like it haha. While the slow burn makes the eventual payoff feel
soooo amazing, I am super impatient! I am here for some trash smut please 😏
✅
THE WRITING STYLE was super casual and absolutely hilarious. Emelle was so funny and I love the back and forth she had with each of the guys. But let's be honest... Evert is clearly the front runner right now - I mean tousled dark hair, bright blue eyes, sinfully flirtatious, what's not to love?! 😂❤️
Overall, I was looking for something fun and easy to read and this definitely delivered, although I'm ready for the steam to take it up a notch in the next book!

✅ Reverse-Harem (very mild in this book)
✅ Characters
✅ World-building
✅ Funny and light
✅ Pace
✅🆗 Plot / Intrigue
The beginning is a little weak, there are some awkward scenes in the first 50 pages or so, but then it gets really good. Emelle is a cupid, but she kind of sucks at it. As a punishment, she is sent to another realm, where she ends up stranded on an almost-deserted island after escaping from the castle where she was playing Cupid.
“It’s like I landed on Sexy-Guy-Island, population: 3.”
It reminded me a lot of Four Psychos and Trickery. The storyline is similar to Four psychos. The girl that couldn't be seen, heard or touched for so long finally has a physical body... But Signs of Cupidity was better written than Four psychos. The plot is well built and well explained. No info-dumping or weird useless interactions. There is also the fact that she identified the males with numbers. I don't know if it's a secret RH rule that I don't know of, but the last 3 that I read all had male characters identified with numbers.
Emelle also reminded me of Willa in Trickery. They both are clumsy (though Willa is definitely the worse) and they have a tendency to say anything that comes to their mind, without any filter. Emelle is quirky, funny and a great main character, she made me laugh out loud many times. The writing is just so casual and light, I loved it!
I like the fact that this story is based on Cupid and his power to gift love and/or lust. Emelle is one of many cupids, and she is bored with her job. Since she does not meet her quotas, she is sent to a Fae realm as punishment. Of course, she gets in trouble because she is so clumsy, and she ends up being held prisoner by 3 sexy male Genfins. They seem like assholes at first, but they grew on me. I liked Evert's flirt and teasing, Sylred kind and caring personality, and even broody Ronak became likable as the story moved forward.
“He looks at me incredulously. "Cute little kitty cat tail?"
"Yeah. It's adorable." I say, watching it flit back and forth behind him. "Can I pet it?"
He makes a weird chocking sound.
"Whoa. Are you gonna have a fit or something?"
"I... you..."
"What? Is petting your tail like a no-go? I haven't read the genfin rulebook. Is it off-limits? Too bad. It looks so soft. Maybe when I get out of here, I'll find some other genfin who will let me pet his tail. Or I bet Evert will let me pet his.”
Anyway... It is a very enjoyable book, funny, light and quick to read, and I definitely recommend it!

Cupid : 1
My expectations : 0
I really wanted to give this 5 stars but the similarities between two well known RH are just too obvious and numerous to overlook.
Despite that
I absolutely freaking loved it It's gets the Gaby
Feel Good RH of the year award
Maybe because my expectations were low and I knew it was gonna be a rip-off it didn't bother me.
This is one that will make you laugh, just the right burn, NOT YA (hooray) doesn't require much thought and it's on KU!

this was actually really fun, but first things first: this is practically the same book as Four Psychos. the same storyline, same heroine, same relationship, etc.
still, i guess that made it a good story!
Signs of Cupidity was just some easy, light fun from my kindle recommendations. reverse-harem and very entertaining, it made me smile throughout the book. pretty good!

So funny, cute, and I ate it all up!You'd think being a cupid would be all kind of fun. Shooting people with arrows all freaking day would ease the anger from terrible break ups - right? However, the no touching, eating, and the talking to your only friend (yourself) does take the fun out of that job. It sounds terrible and I wouldn't like that job either.
Emelle has had enough of people's shit. She gets in trouble while roaming the human world and is sent to fae world. There she thinks she has finally made it. Has she finally found the perfect couple? Nope, everything goes wrong. She gets so freaking mad that she just continually shoots arrows at this guy, who happens to be a prince. He doesn't take it too kindly because he somehow knows he's getting hit with something.
Fast forward a couple of seconds, and she's falling after getting hit by his magic. Eventually she lands-ish in pretty bad shape. Luckily for her, she has three gorgeous men to sort of take her. However, they actually keep her as prisoner because they don't trust the demon that fell from the sky.
Throughout her stay, she eventually worms her way into their hearts. There's so much sexual tension in this book between this group of people. I wanted something to happen.. and what I got was a kiss. A FREAKING KISS. I wanted more and I demand more.. so maybe I will get that in the next book?? Maybe.
Other than that, I love Emelle. She's hilarious. Then there's Not-First, Second, and Third and they were pretty great too. After the ending, I have a couple of questions that I hope will be answered in book 2.

Okay, if you like C.M. Owen's...errr...I mean Kristy Cunning's
The Dark Side series (Four Psychos, Three Trials, Two Kingdoms), then you will probably like Kennedy's
Heart Hassle series. The thing is though, you will probably pick up on a lot of similarities too. The similarities were enough that at times I wondered if Kennedy straight up stole some pages out of Cunning's book, but Kennedy delivered an intriguing enough of a story that I actually didn't care if she did. The H is ridiculous and annoying, but she made me laugh. Rather than wishing her death, which I normally do with weak and annoying female leads, I actually found myself rooting for her. She is a klutz and absurd, but I couldn't find myself hating her for that.
This series is a reverse harem series (my new addiction), and I found myself very intrigued by each of the guys that are the potential harem. As with most RH series, we are given the "nice" one, the "carefree" one, and the oh so "alpha male tortured soul" one. With that being said though, I think we might also get a "mysterious" one too. I'm not too sure where the author is planning on taking this series, but I like what she's cooking up so far.
I wouldn't call this super slow burn, because we get some super charged moments, but it's no insta-love either (THANK GOD); there are no sexy times in the book. If you are looking to get your rocks off by reading this book...you are going to be sorely disappointed.
I had a lot of fun while reading this, and I'm looking forward to the next in the series (whenever the hell that may be).

The lack of real smut got on my nerves after a while, and the slow burn was really annoying at times. I hope the next book would do better in that regard 👋

I should have probably read the synopsis before starting this book. I'm not really in the mood for smut rn..
Oh well, come to mama. Who am I to argue with fate.

I am pleasantly surprised by this book. A couple of reviews I read said it was similar to Four Psychos but I didn't see it. Yes,she was invincible like Paca and she had a fun personality but IMO that's where it all ends.
RH on a whole is a hit or miss,you have to be convincing pairing up 3-6 guys with one girl and I felt this book really sold on that. I thought I was going to find it passable but I enjoyed it. Can't wait to read the next one.

Funny and different, even if it reminds me of Four Psychos, but with three. Definitely reading book 2. Thanks to Jessica for the recommendation.

I LOVED THIS BOOK SO DAMN MUCH! I devoured it and I can't wait to read the next one, but please tell me there are more than two books? *sad face* Edit: the author said there's going to be three books, maybe four. YAY.
Signs of Cupidity was hilarious, fun, sexy and just overall amazing. The plot was original and unique. The concept was really interesting as I've never read another book with a Cupid in it. The heroes were all yummy (especially Evert and his flirting). This book was just the perfect combo for me. The descriptions of this world (or should I say worlds?) were so well done that I could easily picture it in my mind.
The ending left me wanting more. If this author publishes more books, I'll be reading them for sure.

4.8 stars.
Ok. I loved this.
I’m a little peeved that it’s single POV, but Emelle’s thoughts and sarcasm really make up for the lack of the guys POV. For now. I’m still crossing my fingers, desperately hoping that we get multiPOV in the other books.
This was a really good start to the series. I’m not sure what’s going to happen next but I’m super excited to find out.
I’m also super excited for the steamy bits to start. This book was just a lot of vague descriptions of other people going at it while she was doing Cupid duty. And then a lot of flirting and banter while with the guys.
I’m excited to see where that goes.
I’m just excited in general.
I really like all the characters and their banter and all the different drama that’s popped up. I’m super interested in this character she meets at the end and if we’ll see them again.
I’m excited. I want to know more. I want to know everything. I’m kind of kicking myself for waiting so long to read this series.
But so far it’s been a fantastic beginning to the new year.

I absolutely loved book 1 in this series, the h's voice was fricking hilarious and I had many laugh out loud moments. 4 stars for a book with no sex is a lot for me 😂. I loved the originality of the plot as I'd never read about a cupid mc before. I enjoyed the freshness of her role and her hilarious voice.
Now book 2 threw me for a loop with the addition of another male especially as he was a completely different species as well as the insta connection but I rolled with it because he was a sweetheart. After a bit of a boring start it picked up and delivered great humor with some heat. 3.5*
By book 3 however what had been amusing just became overdone and annoying and I was so sad at this installment. After enjoying the first couple books I really wanted to like book 3 but the humor started to feel crass as well as the book felt drawn out for no reason. I mean they'd have sex at the weirdest times and they'd be just waiting around while so much was happening around them it just couldn't be believed. Also it reeked of convenience as the h developed so many awesome powers that she took forever to effectively use. Humor can only take you so far 2.5*
Book 3.5 was almost cute, an extended epilogue we get to see the family living together and cute babies but again some of the humor was just reaching a bit too much. I however love an epilogue so 3.5* in gratitude
All in all maybe if this had been a duet plus the extended epilogue I might've been able to maintain the high ofbook 1 straight to the end.
