Review: Review: Cursed by Cupid
Rating: 4 out of 5

What a cute story!  I loved both Tilly and Byrant.  Tilly unwisely ignored the dire predictions in a chain letter, and her love life has been cursed ever since.  If there’s a good looking, single guy in the area, she will, without a doubt, turn into a klutz and completely humiliate herself in front of him.  Flying milkshakes, tripping into doors, landing in a plate of shrimp linguine – each scenario is embarrassingly possible, and has domed her to a life of being depressingly single.When she meets Bryant, after tumbling into his shop, covered in milkshake, he doesn’t know what to make of her.  Or the curse. One thing he does know is that he’s not going to let her just walk away without figuring out if there’s something special between them.Their date, when they are finally able to go on it, is nothing short of a disaster.  Even I started to wonder if poor Tilly was cursed!  And all because she promptly deleted a chain email, something that I do all the time, too!  Bryant ends up in the hospital, Tilly swears off men and romance for the rest of her life – and then Bryant, a glass is half-full kind of guy, puts a positive spin on every near death experience he’s encountered since meeting Tilly.  How sweet!  I even loved the way he wrote reminders on his hands so he wouldn’t forget to do things.Cursed by Cupid is a short, sweet read that’s guaranteed to put you in the mood for Valentine’s Day.  Wendy Sparrow takes the idea of an urban legend and brings it hilariously to life, much to the dismay of the “cursed” Tilly.  Extremely engaging protagonists makes this read so much fun.Grade:  B/B+
