New from Sydney Somers: CALL ME CUPID


Sydney Somers has given readers a fun, lighthearted romance with an abundance of sizzle with her latest release, CALL ME CUPID.
This is my Romance Junkies review:
When a young woman relives the day before her wedding over and over again, with the man who once broke her heart, no less, she begins to question whether the fates are trying to tell her something . . . or is she simply losing her mind?
When AJ Hanson finds out the day before her wedding that her parents have invited her former boyfriend, Cooper McLain, to the wedding, she has mixed emotions. When she and Cooper broke up, her feelings were totally crushed. After running into Cooper, she is faced with emotions that she hasn’t felt in a long time, and begins to question whether she is totally over him. When she begins experiencing the same day over and over again, she questions even more than that, actually wondering the status of her sanity, especially when she and Cooper appear to be the only two aware of the repeating days.
Cooper McLain knows that he should not have come to AJ’s wedding, but he has a legitimate invitation from her parents, and feels he has to see her just one more time before she gets married. Trouble is, Cooper is a descendant of Eros, the Greek God of love and desire; when Eros shows up in Cooper’s hotel room, Cooper suspects that something is up. When he realizes that he is awaking to the same morning day after day, as is AJ, he definitely knows that Eros is undoubtedly involved. Eros isn’t talking though, leaving it up to Cooper to figure out what he needs to do to make the pieces of the puzzle that his life has become, fall into place.
AJ and Cooper are an adorable couple, seemingly meant to be together, despite their shaky past and heartbreaking split. These characters are easy to relate to and are incredibly enjoyable to spend time with. You would think that the repetition of the same day over and over would become cumbersome, but Ms. Somers has done an excellent job of keeping the story fresh and lively; wonderfully capturing her characters’ emotional fears. This is a fun read, and I’m certain that readers will want to devour it in a single sitting.
I would encourage you to check out Sydney's website to see all of the other great books she has out as well as those that are upcoming.
Thanks!
Laurie
