Utter Cupidity
Cupid: The ultimate god of love? Or the ultimate cad?
Cupid s philandering and partying has finally caught up with him, giving the Olympian Council the opening they ve been waiting for to make the irresponsible god prove he s still competent in his job. For his punishment, the Council gives Cupid one straightforward assignment to get a mortal to marry him. In one month.
There are only three rules to this deceptively simple task. Rule #1: The Council chooses the woman. Rule #2: He cannot use any of his natural abilities as a god to seduce her. And the hardest one of them all, Rule #3: He cannot lie to her.
When Brea Saunders is forced to work with a cocky-but-gorgeous art dealer, she can t get away from the silver-tongued charmer fast enough. No matter how hard he tries, she s determined never to give her heart to any man, ever again.
It will take all Cupid s cunning and natural seduction to get the quick-tempered, man-hating, celibate beauty to fall for his charms in so short a time.
If he fails? He will be stripped of his powers and his immortality."

About the author
Toni L. Meilleur
20 books3 followersI have been a resident of Michigan for the last fifteen years. In between my job as a Personal Trainer and my writing, I love to do theatre. I serve on the board of my theatre group as well as perform. I must admit since my singing leaves much to be desired, most of my roles are relegated to dancing.
I also fancy myself an extremely amateur photographer as well as a clothes, shoes, and accessory addict. I love writing and have been writing since I was eleven, but only in recent years did I seek to get published.

It was a bit too predictably for my taste. The idea was good, but they didnt do exactly something with it. I know these kind of stories always end good with the right man from the beginning, but it's up to the writer to give you the feeling that it isn't entirely sure that they end up together or that they have interesting adventures (otherwise we would read millions of the same books although with different names and circumstances ;) ). I couldn't find it here.

It wasn't the most well-written thing ever, but it was cute.

Great story! I love erotic romance but throw in the supernatural and it makes it even better!

November 22, 2018The Olympian gods have had enough. After countless centuries of dealing with the God of Desire’s partying ways, the gods have given Cupid a task. Cupid has one month to get a mortal woman to agree to marry him or he will be stripped of his powers and immortality. The task seems simple enough, until Cupid hears the rules. (1) He cannot lie to the woman, (2) the woman has to agree to marry him within a month, (3) the god cannot use his powers to seduce her, and (4) the marriage-opposed goddess Artemis will choose the woman.
Brea Saunders has been burned by love and has no desire to ever be romantically involved again. But fate has other plans for the beautiful interior designer. When a difficult client sends her on a search for hard-to-find paintings, Brea finds herself face-to-face with the most gorgeous art dealer she’s ever seen. Can Brea learn to trust once more? And will Cupid be able to play by the rules and outwit those trying to sabotage him long enough to fall under love’s spell himself?
I must admit, I’m always intrigued by stories that put a new spin on my favorite Greek mythological characters. I was more than pleased to find Toni L. Meilleur’s Utter Cupidity a delight. Ms. Meilleur weaves a lively romantic tale of two people who have never known love but still manage to find it in the most unlikely of ways. Cupid, as befitting the God of Desire, is an utterly delicious hero who, though a playboy in the past quickly falls head over heels for his heroine. Brea, though hurt in the past, made me root for her to take that step and find happiness. Fast-paced, sexy, and fun, Utter Cupidity is an enchanting read from beginning to end.
