What a lot of fun to read! The author categorises this story as a novella but I thought of it as a long short story.The goddess Venus plays a trick on her son Cupid by betting him he can't make a certain mortal woman fall in love and forget her inhibitions to pursue the object of her desire.  Cupid takes the bet not knowing that the dowdy librarian, Lizzy Sweet, is in fact a 300 year old witch and is going to be much harder to manipulate than he thinks. Even less straightforward is the fact that once the spell is cast there are two men pursuing Lizzy, a mortal and a warlock.How Seaton weaves the story of mortals and immortals, and love and lust together makes for a very entertaining couple of hours' reading. She does it well.
