Stupid Cupid

Rate this book
Romeo Cupid II
When my mother declares war on my single-hood, I know it’s time I find a decoy. At 35, I’m the oldest bachelor in the cupid clan so my meddling mother has concocted a plan to get me engaged by my sister’s wedding. Acting on desperation, I accept a date-for-hire with a woman named Chels.

It was supposed to be a temporary fix, but once my eyes land on her, there’s no way I’ll let her go – Even if she thinks I’m just a Stupid Cupid.

Looks like I’ll be granting my mom’s wish after all.

Chelsea “Chels” McQueen

Spinster, cat lady, freak…Yeah I knew the names everyone called me. That's why I needed to get out of the North Pole, and quick. Short on cash, and out of options, I accept the job of girlfriend for a week. How bad could it be for a thousand bucks? I was expecting an awkward and shy man who was being tormented about being single.

What I didn’t bargain for was the handsome giant I get instead. He may think he can be boss me like the Neanderthal he is, but I’ll show him.

Just as soon as I stop getting lost in those troubled emerald eyes.

This Valentine’s Day, the reluctant Cupid has met his match. He’ll have to pull out all the stops, and then some.

Most days you can find Pixie running around trying to juggle 100 hats...one of which is Author. BTW, She still can't believe that's what she gets to call herself one. What started out as a passion for book blogging turned into publishing her very first novella...Sealed With A Kiss.

Pixie who is part of the LGBT Community, writes MF, FF. & MM stories that are sexy, insta-love stories full of heart and with a HEA.

Her characters not only fall quickly, deeply, but are also possessive in nature. If she's not writing, then she's on Facebook...Tell her to get the hell out of there and get writing.

"Where Love Always Wins.

“Yes, I love her. Obsessively, deliriously, and completely.”

O Romeo, Romeo....crazy for his girl, Romeo!!
Ok, so I'm not a brilliant poet. But this IS a brilliant story. Loved watching Romeo lose his $hit over Chelsea. Can't get enough of these alpha, possessive, OTT heroes.
-neither virgins, no real details about either past
-no cheating, abuse or OM OW drama
-great characters
-insta-love/lust
-epilogue 5 years out
I think we're in for quite a ride with the Cupid Ink series. Can't wait for the next.

Stupid Cupid

I feel like I have been waiting years for Stupid Cupid...in actuality it's only been about 6 or 7 weeks. Let me tell you it was soooo worth the wait. It's definitely one of my favorites by the author.

The first time that Romeo Cupid (yes one of THOSE Cupid's) saw Chelsea he knew she was meant to be his forever. Romeo is an OTT hero and Chels is a smart, sexy and mouthy heroine that really makes Romeo work for their happily ever after. I love how she defies, back talks and stands up to Romeo. Even if it is just because his caveman attitude turns her on! I'm going to leave it at these two misfits have one heck of a ride getting to their Happily Ever After but they get there together.

This book is 100% safe from any kind of abuse, no cheating and no ow/om abuse. No talk of previous partners.

*****Tinny tiny spoiler below*****
I also love that neither one of them wants children. There are so few romance books that broach the topic of not wanting children in a positive light and Pixie Chica nailed it! One of my favorite lines in the whole book was “Calm down, lover boy, I have an IUD. Kids were never part of my plan.” followed up by “Good, I’m a selfish bastard when it comes to you and don’t want to share you with anyone."

Stupid Cupid is pure fun! Chels is sassy and just an all around boss babe who keeps getting crap dumped on her. She makes the best of things but keeps her eyes on the prize and has a plan to still achieve her dream. That is where Romeo comes in. Romeo needs someone to pretend to be his girlfriend/significant other to get his mom off his back. From the moment they meet, Romeo is a goner. Chels likes what she sees but doesn't want it all to blow up in her face. Lucky for her, Romeo isn't going to give up, ever. Loved it, loved every single moment of this one. I can definitely see rereading this one a lot when I need a possessive hero. Instalove perfection for this reader!

First things first; I love, love, love the cover of this book! The cover model looks exactly how I picture the heroine in this story to look.
Stupid cupid is book one in the cupid ink series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters loveable and the storyline enjoyable. Chelsea ‘’Chels’’ McQueen has dreamed for years about leaving the North Pole. When one of her selfish parents ruins her plans, she finds herself stuck. After a lot of hard work, she is once again near her goal. All she needs is a bit more money. In order to gain that, she agrees to be someone’s fake girlfriend. Romeo Cupid JR is in need of a fake girlfriend to hold off his matchmaking cupid of a mother. What he doesn’t expect is to meet his soul mate. All Romeo has to do is convince Chelsea to give him a chance.
I love Chelsea. Despite everything she went through and how she was treated, she got on with it. My heart hurt for her after the way her family treated her. I liked Romeo. I liked that he had dreams despite people trying to stop him.
The chemistry between Romeo and Chelsea is clear to see and I loved them as a couple. I love Chelsea’s sass and Romeo’s possessiveness.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

Romero Cupid, pure alpha male meet sassy, headstrong, independent Chelsea McQueen and the sparks fly. He never thought he'd find the one to complete him, she never thought she find the one who love her unconditionally. This story wasn't what I expected, but the storyline is surprisingly funny and satisfying. Chelsea has never fit in, coming from a very unloving family, she may live in the magical land of the North Pole but to her it was a prision, one she can't wait to escape. Romero's family is one that demand he lives up to the tradition of a Cupid, but he's bucking that knowing the circumstances could be disownment, he has his own dreams. When these two meet sparks fly and from that point on its a whirlwind of events that lead to a Happy Ever After.

Received as and ARC for an honest review.
Romeo needed someone to be his fake girlfriend to get his mother off of his back. Chels needs money to get away from her hometown. She takes the job as Romeo's girlfriend. Romeo knows as soon as he sees her that she is someone special. Loved that he protects her when she needs it, helps her even when she doesn't think she does. Chels makes him work for everything. She has had a crappy life and is tired of having to act like someone shes not. Great story of finally finding that special someone when you least expect it.

I cannot stress enough how talented Pixie Chica is. I mean seriously talk about never wanting her books to end. This book has to be one of my favorites from her. Stupid Cupid was funny with such a wrong ass h. I liked how strong Chelsea was and such a fighter. Romeo was not expecting to find love the way he did, but when he saw Chelsea, he knew he was a goner. Now he just needs to convince Chelsea to trust him and his feelings for her. Seriously this is such a sweet and over the top book. Precisely what I needed after a stressful day at work. I cannot wait for more books from this author.

loved it

If you like alpha males or rebellious chicks, this story is totally for you. Both Chels and Romeo want to get away from their families. He wants to leave the family business to be a tattoo artist. She wants to forget her horrible past and be a graphic designer, of sorts. Both need each other to make these dreams possible.

This is a romantic urban fantasy where all holidays exist as towns made up of families like the Cupids, Clauses, and Lanterns. It’s a clever world.

There are some distracting mistakes in here, but over all the story was well written.

They needed each another. He was her ticket freedom and she was the only way to get his matchmaker mother off his back. This sweet instalove story was filled with so many laugh out loud moments. Romeo is smitten the moment he lays eyes on her and he immediately has to tamp down his inner alpha in fear of scaring her off. An enjoyable read. I look forward to seeing what’s next for the Cupid family.

Chels is my hero!

There has never been a couple like Chels and Romeo. Chels is a take charge woman. She spent her life at the mercy of her horrible family and no one is going to run her life. Romeo has dreams of being more than a match maker in the family business. Hiring Chels is just a means to an end or so he thinks. The chemistry between these two characters is explosive from the get go. I cant wait for the other books in this series

Not just a Cupid 💘

This is a great read with an OTT Alpha male that is very possessive once he meets his perfect match. Fast moving with lots of heat! I loved the storyline. I was able to really connect with the main characters and their struggles to fit in and be what was expected of them.

I loved Romeo and Chels, she is a strong woman who has had to go through unfortunate circumstances and Romeo is her big Cupid that wants to love her and make her happy!! I loved that they chose to not have kids, but to have fur babies instead!! I was able to relate to that and it was amazing!!

This story! Chels is the very definition of firecracker. She is strong, independent woman who had to learn to pave her way to accomplish her dreams. Romeo, Jr. is intent on never finding love just to spite his momma, but the moment his eyes find Chels, the metaphorical arrow has hit its mark. It's passion, it's fire, it's hot, it's all that love should be.

Loved this book it was refreshing and different! She makes Romeo work for their happily ever after and it's adorable to see! Also love the way Pixie broached the subject of not wanting kids in a nice and not overly ugly manner which you don't see much of in romance books! Overall loved this book and can't wait to see what's next!

I normally really like this author. I skip her same sex books just because that’s not my jam but her writing is always really good and I love her characters.

But I just found this book to be odd. And there were a ton of mistakes like she skipped the proofreader. Maybe this is an earlier book? I will not be reading the next book.

Short & Sweet (?)

Looking for a quick escape from reality? This book would help with that! Romeo & Chelsea have such a powerful connection and their back & forth/playfulness is so much fun to read!
