Faida by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is Faida’s story, she is a cupid and is responsible for helping people to find their true love, but she is disillusioned with the whole thing after a few disasters and infidelities and has developed an closed off heart as the product of this and when we join her, she is at a celebration for her sister Aiko’s latest return to success, but she is happy to get her next assignment and leave the celebrations. When she goes to introduce herself to her next assignment, she arrives at an intimidating high rise building and as she makes her way inside, she is rushed upstairs in a cloud of confusion as she is mistaken for someone else who should be there and when it is for a party, she is eleven more confused. When she sees that it is a princess themed tea party, she is even more confused, kids parties aren’t normally this calm, but when she demands an explanation, the lady who dragged her up there is embarrassed at her mistake and apologises profusely, but when Robert emerges to find out what is going on, but when she sees that he only has one heartstring, it is a shock, she knew he had cut him off from the world, but she didn’t realise by quite how much.

When he goes back into the little girl’s party his icy demeanor is in place while talking to the girls, that is until he goes to another little girl and he warms up and transforms completely and Faida is taken aback when she sees it, as if this assignment wasn’t strange enough, that just puts the icing on the cake. She then confronts Robert and tells him why she is there and that he will not be able to get rid of her easily, at first he doesn’t believe that she is cupid, but when his daughter comes in and asks if Faida is going to be her new nanny, she says yes and confirmed that it will be the perfect cover for her mission to find his true love, what she doesn’t realise is that she will have a little helper with her own idea of who she wants her dad to fall for and when she goes with Robert to his place of work, she thinks that she has found the answer she is looking for.

This is the start of the most frustrating and yet joyful assignment Faida has had, but can she help Robert to lower the walls around his heart, or will they be stuck with each other for a long time? The only way to find out is to read along and find out.
