Kate Bradshaw has turned sour on love...and that's not a good thing for a woman who writes a "Dear Cupid" advice column. Since her divorce,
Kate's column has become more cynical than romantic. She can't seem to find her way back to that confident, lovable, flirty woman she once was.
Kate has built a wall around herself and her son, a wall that she has no intention of letting down.
Michael Cameron knows what's he's been missing in his life, Kate. He fell for Kate the moment he saw her during a brief, flirty exchange in
an airport lobby. Convincing Kate will take some work though. Michael hires her to find him a wife, not letting Kate know that he really has
his sights set on only her.
Thinking back after reading DEAR CUPID, what I remember the most were the emotional characters. Kate is so afraid of being hurt, of taking another
chance, that it blinds her to what is in front of her: simply, a man who loves her. It was frustrating to watch Kate time and again deny herself
the love that we want her to grasp and hold on to--never letting go. Lacking the courage and self esteem to believe in Michael or herself,
Kate must gain back her self confidence before she can step forward and grab hold of the brass ring.
Taking you from laughter to tears, while maybe opening you up to do some re-evaluating of your own, DEAR CUPID is a perfect summer read. |
