Review: Jackie Cupid's First Love and It's Written In The Stars

Jackie Cupid's First Love and It's Written In The Stars by Mary Leo
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

Step into Jackie's world, where starstruck lovers get a little help from Cupid . . . Jackie Cupid!

Jackie Cupid’s First Love:
When Eros, the god of Love, appears to Jackie Cupid and transforms her into a real life Cupid with magical love powers and an outstanding bombshell body, Jackie is keen to take on the challenge. “Look out, baby, there’s a new Cupid in town!”

There’s just one catch. Jackie’s first couple is a test. The potential soul mates are estranged best friends who must fall madly in love with each other by Christmas morning or Jackie will lose all her powers, along with her outstanding bombshell body.

Samantha Bowers, the local preacher’s daughter, and Luke Rutherford, an out of town businessman, haven’t spoken in over a year. Getting these two together is a series of star struck misadventures. Jackie has to learn how deep to prick someone with her tiny magical stars (arrows are way too gauche) so they can become delirious with desire . . . just not too delirious. More importantly, Jackie must learn when to poke them or that person might fall for anyone but their intended lover.

The clock is ticking. Christmas is fast approaching. Will Jackie Cupid turn these two misbegotten lovers around in time to keep her powers? Or will her magic become a stardust memory?

It’s Written In The Stars:
Billionaire, Antonio Milani has come to London for the annual book fair and to retrieve his first edition, signed copy of Oliver Twist, from a woman who not only played him in his bed, but pretended to be a talented new author his publishing house was courting.

Margot James has spent the better part of her adult life raising two children in a small town and writing stories in her personal journals. Now that her kids are grown, Margot takes a leap of faith and travels to London to visit her best friend, Jackie Cupid. When her friend takes a hike and leaves her with Antonio Milani, the delicious looking billionaire, Margot wants nothing more than to fly back home.

But Jackie has used her magical stars on these two and the attraction, heat, and a pending book contract get in the way of Margot’s departure. Will Cupid’s magic be enough to keep these two lovers together, despite the odds, or will best-friend guilt get in the way of their destiny? 

My Thoughts:

Cover/Title: The title is what drew me in. I loved her name.

Characters: Jackie Cupid is one of a kind and I loved this character.

Plot: I don't want to give much of the book away but I love who Jackie Cupid turned out be. The stars were a nice touch as well.

Overall: I loved the story and I so wanted to give it 4 stars. However, the one thing that kept bugging me was the grammar. Things like perusing instead of pursuing. The words mean two totally different things and it was throwing off the story. If it had only happened once, I wouldn't have thought much of it but it happened a few times with different words. Otherwise, I definitely enjoyed the book.
