Now approaching her 20th year, an enchanting young woman had been courted by many gentlemen, but accepted none--much to her mother's chagrin. For the girl, no suitors were able to fulfill the longing in her heart, a longing sparked by her friendship with a notorious society rogue, who was entangled in his own romantic matters. But the girl will discover that love can come in unexpected forms, and that even a rogue can be rendered helpless by its power.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Concluding her "Cupid" trilogy in superb style, Harbaugh pairs her charming, mythical hero, Harry (Eros), with his longtime friend Psyche Hathaway, and finally allows them to fall in love. Unfortunately, Harry's being already married and duty-bound to find his long-lost wife?thus saving the gods from virtual extinction and the world from chaos?creates an obvious dilemma for them both. The solution, of course, is equally obvious to everyone but Harry and Psyche, and while their determined refusal to see the truth may be agonizing to readers, the exquisitely depicted awakening of their love and compelling sexual tension more than compensate for this small frustration. Although fans of the earlier books (Cupid's Mistake, LJ 11/15/96; Cupid's Darts, Signet, 1998) will enjoy meeting old friends and seeing the matchmaking Harry find love at last, this story stands on its own and will appeal to most Regency readers who like their love stories poignant, wonderfully romantic, and laced with more than a little myth and magic. Harbaugh lives in Federal Way, WA.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Caps a wonderful trilogy,
This review is from: Cupid's Kiss (Signet Regency Romance) (Paperback)
The final book in Karen Harbaugh's Cupid trilogy, this book absolutely was the best of the three. Although I enjoyed all of them, this is the one that I go back and reread from time to time. We finally get to see Psyche and Harry together after watching their friendship and amusing stunts in the previous two stories about Psyche's brother and sister. Not remembering much about my mythology, I also enjoyed the background information that Ms. Harbaugh included - and the side plot with Diana the Huntress was also very enjoyable. Absolutely recommended reading for anyone who enjoys Regencies - and many who typically don't!

Delightful, humorous and original,

This review is from: Cupid's Kiss (Signet Regency Romance) (Paperback)
This is the culmination of Harbough's Cupid series, and is well wroth waiting for. I only managed to read Book 2 (Cupid's Darts) and not the first in the series, Cupid's Mistake. I was disappointed with the second book, feeling that the only characters worth being interested in were Psyche and Harry. Finally, here, we get Psyche's own story, in which, as her mother puts some pressure on her to find a husband, she realises with a shock that she's in love with her childhood friend, Harry... who she can't have because he is actually Eros, the God of Love, in disguise. Harry has been looking for his wife for the last thousand years, and Psyche is helping him in his quest. But now she loves him... and circumstances reveal to Harry that he loves her too. Both manage to hide their feelings quite successfully until, in a gesture of friendship, Harry kisses her. The book becomes very poignant at times, especially when Psyche pleads with Harry to make her fall in love with someone else; but thankfully, as the cover notes tell us, Harry realises who Psyche really is. The subsidiary romance involving Artemis is also delightful. This book really is a keeper!

Another hit for Cupid and Karen Harbaugh!,
By K. Shand (West Haven , Connecticut) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cupid's Kiss (Signet Regency Romance) (Paperback)
I had eagerly awaited the release of Cupid's Kiss, having read the other two Cupid books by Ms Harbaugh and was not disappointed at all. The tension between Cupid (known as Harry)and Psyche Hathaway was wonderful. Lots of zing! He was convinced that his friend was his long lost wife, but she was not so sure. Cupid does his best to make her remember including some heavy duty kissing. But Psyche is frightened of becoming someone else. In the end both get what they want and save the world too!
