This is the third installment of the Sons and Daughters series. Each book is by a different author and each story is about another of the six Daltry children of a most unusual, wealthy family.
Cupid (aka CJ) has turned 20 on February 14th and is waiting for his task from his grandmother, Minerva. He has 1 year to finish his labor and if successful, he will win a major prize. (When Hercules, the first 20 year-old in the series, THE LADIES MAN, finished his labor his grandmother built a library in the town and named it the Hercules Daltry Memorial Library.)
CJ accidently overhears his grandmother tell the family attorney that CJs prize will be the deed to the huge family ranch something CJ has dreamed of all his life.
However, his labor is to find a husband for Lizzie Colepepper. The back-story to this tale is very interesting and explains why it will be a difficult task, in spite of the fact that Lizzie is pretty, young and sweet.
I dont want to ruin the story by giving more away. At 261 pages, this is a quick read. Cupids story was the one I had been most anticipating since reading the first book. FYI: CJ is the countys lover-boy. No woman under 50 is immune to CJ!
The story shows that Cupid has a heart (no pun intended); he goes back to his grandmother for a new labor twice because he is afraid his efforts will hurt Lizzie. Grandmother refuses each time.
I enjoyed the story. It is not heavy reading; it is light escapism!
