Lila Black doesn't believe in matchmaking, let alone soul mates. So then why is she constantly being hassled by the Cupids Matchmaking Service? But this gilded, cherub-bedecked dating agency isn't exactly what it seems . . . and it's about to turn Lila's entire world upside down.

It turns out that Cupids Matchmaking is the real deal. As in, it's run by actual cupids—who don't look at all like they do in the paintings—and they have a serious problem with Lila's "match." Because this guy shouldn't be in the system. He shouldn't have a match. And while he's irresistibly hot, he's also incredibly dangerous. Because Lila's true love match is Cupid. The original bad boy of love. And he wants her.

Now Lila's once-normal teenaged world has exploded into a mythological nightmare overrun by crime-lord sirens, wrathful cupid hit men, magic arrows that cause no end of trouble, and a mischievous, not-so-angelic love god she can't seem to stop herself from falling for . . .

      Fated love fails to ignite. On the surface, 17-year-old Lila seems like a normal girl: She spends time with her best friend, Charlie, and her boyfriend, James, in the quaint, inexplicably romance-oriented Southern California town of Forever Falls. Ever since the death of her mother, Lila and her father have been unable to heal their broken hearts. The letter Lila receives from the Cupids Matchmaking Service is unexpected. It turns out Lila has been matched with Cupid--the original cupid--and that's not allowed, per company policy and Cal, the cupid assigned to prevent the match from happening. But when Cupid--coincidentally Cal's brother--makes an appearance in Forever Falls, Lila has to try and resist him--which should be easy since Cal is a better match for Lila, according to her definition of love, than Cupid. For the story to work, the match between Lila and Cupid has to happen even though this match would bring about disaster. One twist will be obvious to readers with a knowledge of mythology and fails to add any tension to the lackluster, ponderous plot. Meanwhile, Lila is perpetually kept in the dark by Cal, Cupid, and others. Lila and most characters are assumed white; Charlie has dark skin. The inevitability of destined love makes this book inevitably disappointing. (Romance. 12-16)
