You can’t help to love who love. Even if your families are sworn enemies. She’s hoping history won’t repeat itself. Mala is trying to fix this because in the past she was unsuccessful. I really enjoyed this series. I highly recommend it.

Malayeka is a Cupid, or at least, she is part of a team who aid Cupid in bringing humans together in true love bonds, but it is not as simple as it sounds, however, Malayeka does love her job and when she receives her next assignment, she is looking forward to getting started, even though it is not the first time she has been to the place she is being sent.
Two centuries before, Malayeka had been assigned a couple, but it did not go as smoothly as planned and it created a rivalry more thorough than certain ones mentioned in a certain play, so now she is back, she wants to get the lay of the land, in a manner of speaking. Unfortunately, the first thing she sees are two grandpa’s in boats on a pond threatening each other with shotguns, the next thing she sees is the town the two families live in and the literal divide it has created, with the Thompson’s on one side and the Reid’s on the other. The atmosphere is tense as she walks down the middle of the street while being hailed into shops by both sides, but there is only one she is looking for and that is a bakery, this is where she meets Billie, the owner, the first of her pair.
As Malayeka is introducing herself, the bakery suddenly is full of chaos with two men stood outside laughing, this is where Malayeka meets Leo, the other half of her assignment and this is where she realises the extent to what she will have to overcome to bring the two together. With her favourite sweet treat of a cookie in hand, Malayeka starts to make a plan to bring the two and their families together, but will the past repeat itself, or will the future be as sweet as the cookies she loves to eat? This is a sweet romance in every way, which is full of rivalries, loyalties and strong personalities in this tale of fate, romance and feuds.

Malayeka has her work cut out for her. She loves her job as a helper for Cupid. But as usual it’s not that easy of a job. She must deal with feuding families and a town who has their sides they are on. How is she supposed to get them together? What about Billie and Leo? Will they be able to bring the families and the town peace and form unity? This is a quick read filled with romance and I could not put it down. It is fast paced and exciting to read. The characters are also easy to fall in love with. The author has quite the knack for well written romances. I enjoyed this story and I know you will as well.

What a quaint story! This fable has feuding families that have managed to divide an entire town. Family loyalties are tested. A love for the ages is grown. Throw in a guardian angel for love, and you have the essential ingredient for a tasty love story for readers to devour.

Malayeka (Heartstrings Book 3) by Brooke May
Malayeka is the third book in the Heartstrings Series and is a Contemporary Romance that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. I literally read this in one sitting because I had to know what was going to happen. This is a story about Malayeka and she’s a cupid on a mission to right her wrongs from years ago. She’s set out to set things right but will she accomplish or is it really to late? Can Mala redeem herself? I highly recommend reading this book to find out how everything plays out. The characters are fun developed and relatable plus they bring the story to life. This can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading this series in order as each book is just as good as the last one. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Short, sweet, great read. Such a sweet concept of there being helpers for Cupid, to bring people together. I love a good feud, this one was to the point and resolved nicely. I really did have a little hate for Billy’s mom, the way she guilt tripped her over her grandfather and the way she was living her life hurt my heart for her and her future with Leo. It was nice to see Billy and Leo put their feet down and say enough is enough. Nice clean romance.

Malayka is the third installment in the Heartstrings series. You should read Aiko and Faida in order before this book. I like how the author writes a short review of the story in a way that doesn’t seem repetitive at the beginning of each story. The two individuals who have connected heartstrings are from opposite sides of the crosstown rivalry. This feud between the Thompson and Reid families has been in existence multiple generations before Billie and Leopold were born. From the start Billie who meets Malayka in her bakery seems frustrated with the townspeople’s behavior when Leo and his cousin let some sheep loose in the bakery. These stories are a quick read and an easy escape.

This is another great addition to this series, one with a very modern day Shakespeare feel to it. This was a fun and entertaining story to read with some highly amusing characters. This is one of those books that is quick and easy to read because you get right into the story and can’t put the book down.
This is an author that really knows how to connect to her audience. All of her books and series are different and yet she nails it every time. I love how light-hearted she has kept this series and I think they have been wonderfully written. Any rom-com fan should check them out.

This is a cute, fun and quirky book. I fell in love with it almost immediately. The pace of the book was perfect for the plot. I had to finish the entire book in one sitting and I wouldn’t been satisfied until I did. I highly recommend this book to any and everyone. You will not be disappointed.
Being graced by a cupid is supposed to mean good luck in your love life.
Sadly, that can’t be said for a family who was helped by Malayeka two centuries ago that has affected the clans involved all the way to the present day.
Always willing to look on the bright side and snag a good cookie, Malayeka is always eager to help the humans she’s assigned to.
That is, until she is reunited with the Reids and the Thomsons, two feuding families who she’s determined to make it work out this time around.
Shotgun wielding grandpas and families dividing a town quite literally in two, are just a couple of issues she comes face-to-face with.
This is Mala’s chance at redemption.
I’m excited to see more of this authors books in the future. And seeing how she will continue to grow and flourish as a author.
Faida by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was an enjoyable book written by Ms. May! It is the second in the heartstrings series. It definitely contains some spoilers, so this series should be read in order. I think the author made a good choice to review how the cupids work to help people fall in love at the beginning of the book. The cupids see a string that connects the two hearts, and the brighter it glows, the stronger love they have for each other. Faida is a cupid whose name means wings that are folded. After Faida’s matchmaking experience, she is kind of jaded to the whale experience of falling in love. She is assigned to help a man named Robert Peters. Robert is a single dad and also the CEO of his company. When Faida meets Robert, she observes that his only heartstring (strong connection) is with his daughter Alice.Will Faida be able to help Robert find love and continue to be an awesome Dad? You must read this book to find out the answer!
