This book has so much potential. It needs editing and formatting something terrible.

I was given the opportunity to read this novel by Lauren Palphreyman, early in exchange for an honest review.

Cupid’s match is a fresh and original take on the supernatural teen romance genre. I loved it, I powered through the whole novel in a matter of hours, unable to put it down without thinking about it. There were lots of unexpected twist and turns throughput the novel that stopped me from putting it down. I was able to easily sympathize with the characters and found myself holding my breath as I cheered on Lila and Cupid every time they were together.

There are many times throughout the novel that made my heart swell and many that had me chuckling to myself as I read along.

The novel included mythological and historical characters to help move the story along and it was executed seamlessly and enriched the overall storytelling experience.

My only criticism of the story is that I would have liked to see more of Lila and James relationship in the beginning to be able to feel the full impact that Cupid had on her. In the end though it does not change the quality of the novel.

Other than that one note, I have nothing remotely negative to say about it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the open ended ending that left me wanting more. I will be buying a copy after release to support the author and I am excited for any sequels that maybe released it the future.

Keep an eye out on October 1st, 2019 for this lovely novel.

This is a cute story. I like the characters. The main characters are funny, smart and sassy. The dialogues are funny. I like the HEA. It has a good pace. The romance is sweet (not r-rated). Would love to read another book by the same writer! :)

I was pleasantly surprised at this book. I thought this would mostly be about Cupid and Lila falling in love with each other, but the romance really took a back burner to the action and that was really fun. This is geared towards teens and YA (of which I do still technically class myself just barely), but you can't take it too seriously. I think we could have come up with a less ridiculous name for Cupid to be running around school with besides leaving it at Cupid. That was a bit of an eye roll for me. But the drama of trying to keep Lila and her new friends safe, using characters from Mythology, and constant action with just sprinklings of lovey dovey-ness I found to be really the perfect ratio. This book could have gotten soooooo cheesy, but it actually stayed well grounded and fun.

I liked the chemistry between Lila and Cupid - it started out quite cheesy with a lot of emphasis on physical responses when their hands grazed each other but when they actually started being able to hold conversations with each other I was convinced at their actual chemistry.

Overall, a fun, quick read that I could recommend to a generous age range of (most likely female) readers because there really was a little something for everyone.

I loved this book. It was funny, romantic and addictive. Lila, Cupid and Cal are just those characters you root for. Cupid was adorable and sexy and had me hooked from the first meeting. Cal was that character that surprised you over and over again.

I gave four stars because even though it was a good book it felt rushed at the end and it was sometimes during the book it felt rushed. However it was a wonderful and entertaining read and I can't wait to see what else this author is going to write.

I received a free copy of CUPID’S MATCH by Lauren Palphreyman in exchange for an honest review. Lila Black has a boyfriend, so she’s really annoyed with Cupids Matchmaking Service because it keeps spamming her phone, her email, and even her physical mailbox. When her efforts to stop the spamming by phone, by email, and by mail are unsuccessful, Lila devotes an entire day to travel to their headquarters so she can confront them in person. Lila’s drop-in visit yields unexpected fruit. Lila learns that CMS is run by actual cupids, that the guy they found for her is her fated match, and that he’s the original Cupid. CMS is delighted Lila has no interest in her match because the CMS bylaws forbid all cupids, including CUPID, from making their matches. The only problem is that Cupid knows his match has been found, and he’s coming for Lila. Factions of CMS will do anything to keep them apart. Hi, Lila! Welcome to the world of warring gods and goddesses; I hope you brought your Edith Hamilton.

This was a cute book. It had some intense action, dangerous situations, and kissing-level romance. I recommend this book to fans of action-packed paranormal/urban fantasy romance. I liked it.

I wanted to love this book I really did. The first part of the book flew by and the second part drug on forever. It’s like the story had lots of good stuff then got bogged down in so many details it couldn’t get back out again.
