Review: Cute Take on Cupid

Cute is the word that best describes this book for me. The main character, Emma Valentine, is a divorce lawyer, but when her dad, THE REAL LIFE Cupid, asks for her help in reuniting a soon-to-be divorced couple, Emma has to perform the exact opposite of what she had been trained to do. The whole premise of Cupid and his family having a matchmaking company is really sweet. I love the fact that Cupid has magical powers that are inherited. The fact that for some strange reason, Emma's brother completely missed the Cupid gene, by a long shot, is hilarious and leads to disaster! The story is a light romance, some fun dialogue (which the Krumbines always does so well) and good humor. I would have liked to have seen more conflict between the couple Emma was trying to get back together, maybe even some more romance for Emma herself, a little more "meat" in the storyline. Maybe the next book will bring more into the story. Also, this book is a good read for all ages are there are no adult-themed scenes at all. I would bet teens and tweens would like this. Cupid's daughter is a fun, easy, quick read if you are looking for lazy-day afternoon book.
