I received this book from the author for an honest review.  It is the second book in the Cupid Chronicles series.  From the description I was somewhat skeptical about reading it.  I was under the impression it was a paranormal, but to me it was a contemporary romance with a sweet ending.We are introduced  to Michael who turns out to be an angel or more precise a cupid.  He is sent to assist individuals who are meant to be together in their relationship to get to a happily ever after.  This assignment Michael is to have an apprentice, Ariel, whom he is to instruct on what the duties of a cupid involves.  What appears as a straight forward assignment takes on many different struggles for those involved.Braelyn is a beautiful, single mother who teaches special education at school and volunteers at a local nursing home.  She and her son, Tristan, move to Texas for a fresh start, but things are not going well for Tristan as she had hoped for.  Braelyn feels that most of his problems are a result of his father signing over all his parental rights just before they moved.  Maybe if he had a male role model in his life it would help, so she signs him up to be apart of the Big Brother's program thru school.  Needless to say Tristan wasn't overjoyed, but after meeting Michael he decides it might be cool to have someone to hang out with.As with all old houses problems will arise and they do.  Michael offers to oversee some repairs which turn out to be a little more difficult than he expects.  He turns to his friend and coworker Noble Blackfeather for assistance.  Noble just happens to be Braelyn's next door neighbor and they had met previously.  Noble reluctantly agrees, not because he doesn't want to help, but because there is too much chemistry between them.  He doesn't do relationships and she was a "forever after" type girl.  The more time they spend together the greater the attraction on both sides.Each fighting the attraction, the more complicated Michael's job became and then throw in Tristan and his objections.  Michael feels he may be unable to complete this assignment.I loved this book.  Shauna Allen brings us a sweet romance.  She brings us well developed characters with flaws that show true family and relationship issues.  The plot flows effortlessly.  I would recommend it to anyone.
