Nothing says bad judgement like trying to prove a superstition true…
Taylor Braxton, along with a few adventurous girlfriends, decides to test one such superstition on Valentine’s Day – the day Taylor’s ex-fiancé is to be married. A few bottles of wine help lower her inhibition and go a long way to giving her the courage to try to heal her broken heart. After all, Taylor reasons, what is the worst thing that can happen – the superstition of finding her true love might come true?
Sheriff Ryan Jones is used to getting calls about the odd dancing around the downtown fountain. When you live in Cupid, Texas, there were always some residents who believed if you dance naked around the fountain, you were guaranteed to find your true love. What he doesn’t expect is to find the lovely, but spirited Taylor Braxton confronting him at midnight – sans clothing. Unfortunately, a long-held promise and his badge stand between him and what he wants – Taylor.
Will the Cupid Superstition help Taylor and Ryan overcome the past and take a chance on love again? Or will a promise he made to her best friend, and his career, deflect Cupid’s arrow?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CUPID STUPID is the first book in the
Return to Cupid, TX series. While each
book does focus on a different couple, it is still best to read them in the
order of release.
From beginning to end, I enjoyed
reading this story as three best friends decide that it’s never too late in
life to test the superstition that most of their classmates tried out when they
were still teenagers. Taylor, Meghan,
and Kelsey had me in stitches from Galentine drinks to dancing around the Cupid
statue in the middle of town (naked, mind you), to figuring out what to do
about the fallout of that dancing.
This is Taylor’s story, along with
the Sheriff, Ryan, who caught her while her friends took off in other
directions.
Where I most associated with Taylor
was in the lack of confidence. After
rejections, it’s hard to believe that another man will see something good where
one has belittled and shamed. Allowing
chemistry to lead the way is a good start.
Communication is the rest of the formula for a positive new
relationship.
My only complaint is the
ending. I thought I had hit the jackpot
and we were going to find out about another couple. Instead it was a teaser leading to the next
book. Yes, I’m whining! I don’t have the next book! Of course, I’m looking forward to getting it
and reading more of the results of that little rascal Cupid’s magic.
Note: while I was given this book as a gift, my
opinions are my own and are given freely.
