Bleed for Cupid

Rate this book
Roses are red, violets are blue. Hide your heart, little bird. Cupid’s Arrow is coming for you.

Callum is more than the CEO of Cupid Inc., the company that manufactures “love” potions and sells them to mateless supernaturals who want to take “fate” into their own hands. He’s an angel. Literally.

But even the devil came from Heaven.

So it’s just my luck that he also happens to be my boss… Until he discovers that I’m a mole for the organization protesting his company. Suddenly, I find myself as the test bunny for his most potent product Cupid’s Arrow. And my mate-to-be? Callum himself.

Call it vengeance. Call it an insane marketing stunt. Call it fate. Whatever it is…

There’s no escaping Cupid Inc.’s dark angel and his terrifying brand of love.

Bleed for Cupid is a plot-light, cupid-themed PNR novella featuring a winged monster with a wicked thirst for our human heroine. This story includes dark and graphic themes that may be triggering to some. Please check the author’s note inside the book for a complete list of content and trigger warnings.

So I realized after my last review that there was another book in the series. And here we are. Such a lustful Saturday morning I’m having over here. Is that a bad thing? So there’s not much to say on this one. We have a company that specializes in matching up nonhumans, being protested by humans. Callum is the CEO and Robin is his secretary. They play coy with one another, before eventually succumbing to their carnal desires. Some human to human, while others are hybrid angel to human. And boy oh boy, did they have some kinky lovemaking sessions. And through secrets and deceptions, they find ways to bond. But, much like this story’s predecessor, the sex was the star of the show. And I felt that theosr scenes were written on a much higher level than the prior book. That’s what pushed me from another 3.5-4 star rating. However, I have the same criticisms here, still about the lack of depth to critical parts of the story. I wanted more on Robin and much more on the company. I just felt like there was a ton of creative ways to incorporate both that would have made the entire plot seem better crafted. But the sex was top notch. And that’s the most important thing. In summary, this was quick (Not the sex), erotic, and paranormal. We call that a hat trick. And Aiden Pierce nailed it.

♡♡Nothing like reading a spicy, unorthodox novella on Valentine's Day...Happy Valentine's Day to me!♡♡

Callum is a hybrid, the son of the famous Cupid/CEO of Cupid, Inc. Cupid, Inc. sells love potions for the supernaturals, but there is a lot more going on behind the scenes.

"Cupid Inc.’s love potions were evil. That was just a fact. They forced attraction for people who weren’t interested in a particular partner, altering their brain chemistry to have the equivalent desire of a fated mate."

Then there is Robin, Callum's gorgeous human secretary. All is well until Callum discovers she is a mole against his company after she discovers an interesting secret about its products. Oh dear, what kind of punishment will ensue? Or, is it even considered punishment if you enjoy it?

"Humans were soft, delicate creatures. They weren’t meant to be with supernaturals—especially hybrids like me"

"As a dark angel that ran a multibillion-dollar business with a dark reputation, there wasn’t much that got to me. But the thought of her hating me? Of her seeing my true form for the first time and cringing? It made my black little heart ache."

Це коротка та хтива новела. Мені сподобалось що нарешті я десь побачила згадку про інкубів, бо давно в книжці вони не траплялись. Мені якось гидко було на початку, бо там був момент, де якась істота чи людина(пам'ять не дуже) взяла еліксир, щоб зробити дівчину більш поступливою, і тут скидається на згвалтування. Але їм все окей. І отут у мене двояке відчуття, бо Каллум підлив такий напій своїй співробітниці, бо вважав, що вона була «кротом», так на неї можливо і не подіяло, бо вона була закохана в нього і сама не проти, але сам факт. Тож 50/50.

Aiden has done it again! Bleed for Cupid is a quick, spicy af, and interesting take on Cupid!

The story follows Callum, a dark angel whose company, Cupid Inc., manufactures a bastardized version of a love potion to supes who don’t like the hand that fate has dealt them when it comes to their love lives, and Robin, his beautiful human secretary.

He soon learns that a mole in his company has leaked Cupid Inc.‘s latest project—a ‘love potion’ called Cupid’s Arrow that will work not only on supes but humans too, causing the company to come under fire and to be boycotted by anti-supernatural activists.

As if that weren’t bad enough, Callum learns the mole is none other than Robin, who for the last three years has been his untouchable human obsession. If she wants to screw his company over by leaking information to the very group protesting him, then he’ll screw her (hehe) by making her his personal lab rat and prisoner as his revenge.

Is it really a prison sentence though if you’ve been in love with your boss for the last three years? Robin doesn’t think so, and she’s down for whatever the terrifying dark angel throws her way.

Like I said it’s spicy af and such a quick read. If you’re into a little blood play, size difference, and interesting weens, I definitely recommend!

Bleed for Cupid is a spicy spicy short story about a dark angel and his human mate. Callum owns Cupid, Inc., a company that manufactures many love related products including a love potion that has come under scrutiny by anti-supernatural groups. Callum discovers there is a mole in his company and is determined to find who is leaking information to the protestors.

To his dismay, it turns out to be his secretary Robin that has taken up more space in his head than he prefers. Robin must be punished but he plans to do it carnally because the connection they share is undeniable.

"This female. There was something about her that called to those monstrous urges buried deep within me."


Robin knows what she did was low but her obsession with Callum rivals his with her and so is Callum's punishment really a punishment?

"I would invade her every cell. I’d make her want me. I’d make her hate to want me. And I was going to do that by doing what I’d been too kind to do before. I was going to make her mine forever."


Robin takes everything Callum throws at her and finds that she likes his personal brand of possession. Her only fear is he will tire of her and throw her away. She plans to do everything in her power to show him they were meant to be.

"Callum Reaver was half angel, half demon. He was Heaven and Hell. Pleasure and pain. Salvation and suffering."


This had almost zero plot and was primarily monster smut but it was good monster smut and that makes all the difference. If you're looking for a quick read with bite then I definitely recommend this sweet and spicy morsel of a read.

"She was mine to fuck. Mine to love. Mine to keep. Mine."

Bleed For Cupid is a delicious little spicy morsel, filled to the brim with lust, subterfuge, betrayal, and a whooole lot of kink. Author Aiden Pierce wastes no time drawing us into her world where supernaturals and humans coexist in relative peace. That is until leaked confidential information jeopardizes the balance.

There’s a mole in our midst…what’s a dark angel to do?

With this being a short novella, I’m thoroughly impressed with the complexity of the characters Pierce has crafted. Callum, a half angel, half incubus hybrid, meets his match in the form of a beautiful human who he employs as his secretary. He has one desire, and that’s to protect her…from himself. However, she has ulterior motives.

Too bad her betrayal will break his heart.

The sexual tension between these two can be cut with a knife (or talon), and he’s ready to make her bleed. What ensues is just deplorable (in Callum’s own words), and I was living for every moment of it. There’s a cage involved, jussayin’. Their chemistry is off the charts, and there’s a pull neither of them can deny. Maybe perhaps they are fated to be with each other after all.

This is the third book I’ve read from Pierce, and she continues to impress and exceed all my expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and my only gripe is that I need more. I definitely recommend this for all you monster f/ckers out there!

3.5 ⭐️

This one was a pretty fast-paced book.

I felt bad for Callum he has been pinning after his assasint Robin since she started working at the company but feels like she's to innocent and he's a "monster" his words he owns Cupid Inc. Which he makes products related to love potions which has only been about monsters, now hes trying to make one for humans and that doesn't sit well for Robin so she leaks it and causes problems for the company. He finds out who the rat is and cages her and makes her drink the potion and does some "punishing" of his own.. it's a very push/pull from Callum. Pretty much smut and a fight about does he deserve this hea.

No ow/om drama, no cheating, slight drama, sexy times, no virgins

Коротко і хтиво
3,5/5

Із плюсів: воно коротке. Легко читається. В цілому задумка про Cupid inc, любовним зіллям, демонів мені зайшла та ще й задумка зі шпигуном мені сподобалось

Мінуси: все якось скомкано в кінці. Я не дуже зрозуміла, як воно усе так вийшло (або вона їбеться як богиня або у чела конкретні проблеми, бо в кінці там вже не демон, а якийсь тюхтій. Ось ці розмови про батьків… я читаю хтиву новелу, дайте мені просто хтиву новелу), мені б хотілось більше фетишів, бо все таки це демон

A dark, paranormal romance that will have you bleeding for love.

I was looking for a short, spicy, Valentine's Day romance, and this was PERFECT! I love the idea that 'cupid' is creating love potions, that supernatural being exist and that there's a movement to keep them away from romance with humans.

This is also a forbidden boss x employee romance, where our FMC is his secretary.

I'm not usually into monster romance, but this hit for me because I LOVE the idea of biblically accurate angels. Something about all those eyes really speaks to me.

Read this if you love
🐦‍⬛ Dark paranormal romance
🐦‍⬛ Biblically accurate angel (who is also part sex demon)
🐦‍⬛ Monster
🐦‍⬛ Unconventional toys
🐦‍⬛ Eyes
🐦‍⬛ Collar + leash play
🐦‍⬛ Blood play
🐦‍⬛ Boss x Employee
🐦‍⬛ CNC

This book is best read while collared, leashed and begging for more.

3,5⭐️ оскільки я нічого не очікувала від 100 сторінок, розказати немає що. задумка цікава, мова авторки сподобалась – не було багато крінжі, як це переважно є в таких новелках, де секс на сексі. половину книги навіть був якийсь сюжет

якраз на один вечір: прочитати і жити далі✋🏻

I loved the Hero so much. He was basically a mafia don, except he was an angel/demon hybrid. The heroine wasn’t my favorite. She was a spy for a human rights group to gather intel on his company. I felt like the betrayal was too deep for a novella and didn’t really think she had a good enough excuse to do it in the first place.

I picked this one up purely based on the cover! It's a quick fast paced steamy monster romance. I loved the characters Robin works for a company that creates sex toys and love potions. However, when they start trying to create a love potion for humans she decides that she needs to step in. She's attracted to her boss but he keeps his true side hidden from her which drives her crazy.

I devoured this one in just a hour it was my first by the author but I'm hooked the author did a lovely job creating a captivating story. While its a steamy story we had just enough plot to complement the steamy parts. I love the relationship between the characters it's just sizzling and works so perfect. I'm looking forward to reading other books by the author because I enjoyed this one.

Bleed for Cupid

Callum, a dark angel, has taken over his father's company that produces love potions and has been working on a prototype that works for humans. He just needed a final test subject for his final run, and he's just found his human secretary, Robin, has been betraying him.

This book exceeded my expectations when it came to the steam! The scenes that Callum and Robin shared are very steamy and definitely have some fun kinks that I loved getting to see. You have blood play, exhibitionism, plus some other fun things all wrapped up in one fantastic book. This is kind of an instalove book, but also not really as their technical story has been happening for several years now. I would have loved for the book to be longer, just so we can see that build and get to see more scenes with them. Yes this is plot light, but honestly, I didn't miss it at all!

Perfect bite of dark deliciousness for Valentine’s Day! I don’t know how Aiden Pierce packs in so much in just a few pages, it’s absolutely amazing! The characters are fully developed, lots of steam and kink, mixed with corporate espionage?!?! It’s fantastic!! Callum and Robin’s story is dark, but oh so romantic! My only problem with this story is not having many more pages to read about these two characters that I absolutely love!!
