I haven't been able to read the first book in this series by Harbaugh, though I've read summaries and, of course, there are clues in this book as to what happened, so I don't feel too lost. With Cupid's Darts, though, I have to say that I agree with some of the other reviewers here. Kenneth and Aimee - and the anti-hero, Francis - held little interest for me. It was Psyche and Harry who provided all the humour and interest, and I really felt as if I was just skimming this book in order to allow me to get on to Psyche's story.

This is disappointing, because I usually rate Harbaugh's books much more highly. I do feel that I'll be rating the final book in the trilogy higher, though!

While I was totally enchanted with Cupid and Psyche, I could not care less about the title characters: Aimee and... what's his name again? The book does contain some amusing scenes, but I would have rather seen more Cupid/Psyche romance.

Ms. Harbaugh is a very original writer. She has written a great fantasy Regency with Cupid/Eros as one of the characters in the book and the source of the conflict. The story has humor and pathos and a lot of wonderful plot complications. Bravo!

Good characters, interesting plot..I hope she writes a sequel..cupid as one of the characters is very ingenious, hilarious - a keeper!
