This is the 4th book in the Heartstrings Series. Seraphina is a Cupid tasked with helping hockey player Seth Maxwell find love, again, for the 3rd time. Can she actually be successful this time around? When she meets Marron she thinks this may be it is she can just get Seth and Marron on board. This was a cute story with a very different kind of Cupid.

Seraphina
By: Brooke May
This is a fantasy romance, something I don’t normally read. But Brooke May has become one of my favorite authors so I figured I would give this book a chance and I am so glad that I did.
Seraphina is a cupid, but not the normal stereotypical cupid we all imagine with arrows and wings and looking like a cherub. Seraphina is feisty and really sassy.
Seth is a hockey player with a playboy attitude. He goes through his pick of women on the regular. But once Seraphina gets involved that all changes.
This is the fourth book in the series, but the first that I have read. I definitely think this book functioned as a standalone, but I will be reading the others because I enjoyed this one. I definitely loved the characters in this book and have always found Brooke May to have a talent in writing books with fantastically well developed characters that jump off the page. I definitely recommend this book!

This is by far my favorite book in the Heartstrings series, what a wonderful moral that we learn in this book. Not only do we learn that actions speak louder than words, but we also see that the love of mankind is far more important than anything money can buy. Seraphina also referred to as Meanie by Aiko, our first cupid that we met in book one of this series, not only helps to show why she’s developed this nickname, but she grows through the process of this latest assignment. She is working with Seth, a man that she has been tethered to two other times, both of which failed after she had left the romance to finish blooming on their own, must come back a third time to help Seth, a pro ice hockey player, to find the love of his life. Seraphina is surprised by the man that she is confronted with, as he has changed, and not for the better, allowing fame and fortune to change his entire outlook on life. He is now more focused on himself, instead of the love that he once had for his teammates and the love of the game. Her work is cut out for her, especially when Seraphina learns that the person that Seth’s heartstring leads to is a woman who works in a local place that helps kids in a low-income neighborhood to have opportunities at daycare and activities to keep them out of trouble. Seth grew up in a similar situation thanks to his grandmother taking him in at a young age and giving him the love of ice hockey. Seth has a lot to learn when it comes to wooing a woman who does not need or want all the expensive dinners and entertainment that he’s used to showing his dates but is more drawn into the love he shows the children. Will Seth be able to find his past self, and find joy in the simple things of life, or will he allow his fame and fortune to continue to blind him to the greater things in life, such as true love?

Seraphina is a cupid, but not the slushy kind with the wings and the cupids bow. Oh no she is sassy and straight to the point, not quite like the other cupids but she is determined to show Seth that he can find love.
So Seth is a play boy hockey star who can has his pick of woman and does on a regular basis, but when Seraphina literally knocks him off his pedestal he starts to understand things and finds who he truly is and can be.
This is the fourth book in this series and although it is part of a series each book is unique enough to read as a stand alone story. Each books follows a Cupid and this one is Seraphina’s turn and she is a breath of fresh air to read. The character is quirky and un-apologetically in your face and I loved her as a character which worked well with the opposite character of Seth.
The secondary characters in this book add a level which keeps you reading as you delve more and more into the world of Seth and get to know him as a person rather than an Icon. As always the story is also full of good humour and brilliant writing and can’t wait to read more from this wonderful author and series.

I enjoyed this book, it was a light hearted romance that made me feel good. The story was about the Cupid Seraphina who has a second to help a prior client who did not find true love and happiness the first time. Seraphina is a different kind of Cupid at least she did not fit what I expected of a Cupid. She had some anger issues and really was not a people person, but that made me relate to her more as that could describe me. I enjoyed this book and will look for more from this author.

Another entertaining and engaging romantic comedy story in this enjoyable YA series, where Cupids are sent to help humans find their perfect love match. I’ve enjoyed the previous books and so was looking forward to reading this one and I was once again hooked from start to finish. Seraphina has been given the test of her eternal life, to find hockey superstar Seth Maxwell his perfect love connection. This is the third time she has tried and she’s determined not to fail this time, but Seth will need a makeover. He’s well known for not being a team player and for being involved in numerous scandals with different starlets. Seraphina will need more than her mythical bow and arrow to help guide him to the love of his life, and keep her. This is a fun lighthearted read which kept me happily turning the pages, and I was once again lost in the world of Cupids helping humans to find love!

This is the 4th book in The Heartstring Series. Even though this is the 4th book they can all be read as a standalone as each book focuses on a different Cupid, however I know that once youve read one you will want to read them all just like I did.
This story follow Searphina. I like her. She is a very no no nonsense character who is determined and very strong willed. She doesn’t let no one and nothing push her around and she needs that strength and determination to deal with her next assignment Seth Maxwell.
Searphina and Seth have had run ins before when Searphina matched him to his heart match and somehow he always manages to break the bond.
Now she has been assigned him again. And this time she is determined to make this one stick. But her task will not be easy.
Seth is now a star hockey player who has a overinflated sense of who he is and that translates to how he interacted with all people in his life.
Can Seraphine knock him off his pedestal long enough for him to realise the worth of a women he would normally never look twice at?
This is a battle between two very strong willed people which will have some funny moments. The road to true love never runs smoothly and when a Cupid’s involved you can guarantee it will be a rollercoaster.

Seraphina (Heartstrings Series) by Brooke May. This is such a fun series and they can all be read as standalones. I really enjoyed this one about Seraphina who ends up on the same guys doorstep for a third time and she is determined not to fail. Seth is a bad boy hockey player that thinks of no one but himself. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself but the thing is his grandma raised him better than that. Marron is just the opposite of Seth, she always thinks of others and she runs a non profit that helps provide kids with financial help for things they might not otherwise be able to afford. When this hockey player shows up to volunteer Marron is not excited. She knows he’s probably only doing it for the publicity. Seraphina is determined to make this match work but she knows she has her work cut out for her. Will the third time be the charm? Read this fun romance to find out!

Automatic good point number 1, I was able to fully understand this story without having read the others!
While I will probably now go back and read just because I like series to be complete its a nice standalone if readers prefer that. The story was told well and the plot hooked my attention! The characters were nice but I just felt like something was needed and I couldn’t put my finger one it! Overall cute read.

When you think of Cupid, what comes to mind automatically is love. This is the fourth book of the Heartstrings series following the case of Cupid Seraphina who is trying to help hockey star Seth find love…for the third time. Will the stars finally align for Seth or will this be another love-connection fail? I really enjoyed how this book gives depth to the characters while also giving the reader insight into the inner workings of Cupids and their own relationships! The story’s pacing was great and concise while also allowing the reader to fall into the plot and connect to the characters. You can easily read this as a standalone novel.

This is the fourth book in the series and if you’re like me and didn’t read the previous books…you will be able to understand without the backstories. This is the first one that I have read in this series, and I found it to be such a cute, fast read and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I was really pulled into the idea of Cupid’s helpers and the whole scheme of romance idea that Cupid brings. This story has a good blend of characters that are quick witted, quick tempered, and have truly unique personalities. This book was a really fast read for me as I couldn’t put it down because I needed to know what was going to happen next. I suggest this book if you are looking to be able to sink into your couch, get away from reality for a while, pick this book up and give it a try! I don’t think you will be one bit disappointed!

I have loved this series from the moment I started reading and I think this one has to be my favourite so far. Seraphina is a fantastic character. I connected with her so much more than I expected I would and I loved to see how she developed throughout the book. And Seth was just the perfect pairing with Seraphina. They were brilliant together and highly entertaining.
This author really knows how to create fantastic stories. Everything I read by her I thoroughly enjoy and I love that they are all so different. This book was brilliant to read and I am excited to see what else this series has to offer.

Seraphina is the 4th book in the Heartstrings series by Brooke May. Although this is part of a series this is the first book I have read by this author and was able to read as a standalone. Seraphina is a cupid, sent by the actual Cupid to take on cases on earth and help two people find their love. When she is tasked with helping hockey player Seth, she finds herself facing a familiar challenge. She has attempted to help Seth twice before without success, but she is determined to get it right this time. She just needs to take the right approach. I liked this book; it was a fun premise and easy to read. I felt it could have been longer as it seemed that the characters personality switched really fast, but I was a fun romance story.

This is the fourth book in the series and you don’t have to read the other books before this one to understand what is going on. This is the first one that I have read in this series and it was such a cute quick read for me that I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I really like the idea of Cupid’s helpers and the whole romanticized idea that Cupid brings. This story has amazing characters that are quick witted, have a bit of a temper, and have growth for what is needed in this book. This book is realistic in the way that bot everything happens properly the first time and it might take a couple tries to get it right. I didn’t how much I would like that when it isn’t instant. This book was a really quick read for me as I couldn’t put it down because I needed to know what happened next. I highly suggest thus book if you are looking to just sink into a book and escape for a few hours. You won’t be disappointed in this choice.

This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I enjoy her writing skills that make her stories come to life on every page. Her characters are written with a lot of spunk and heart. This book is no different. This is a well written story about Seraphina and a hockey player that she has failed a couple of times in the past. She is determined not to fail him a third time. This is a great romance story that is fast paced and hard to put down. A story where the author used details to make the story realistic which I had no problems picturing myself in this story. The characters are relatable and add so much to the story. They have great growth and chemistry throughout. They pull you into their story with ease and keep you there until the end. I really enjoyed this book and I think you will as well. I highly recommend this book.

Seraphina is the fourth book in the Heartstrings series by Brooke May. Even though this is the fourth book in the series, you don’t have to have read the first three books in order to enjoy this one. Each book in the series focuses on one of ‘Cupid’s’ chosen ones- we follow as a member of his team helps humans find love. But, in saying that, each book is a great read in its own right, and reading the entire series helps to build a better understanding and appreciation of the stories.
We have met Seraphina in the previous books, and to be quite honest from those ‘interactions’, I really wasn’t sure I was going to ‘like’ her enough to enjoy this story or be able to ‘invest’ in it. But I need not have worried as Ms. May ensured that she won me over- as did Seth and Marron- Seraphina’s assignment.
I love how Ms. May has crafted such wonderfully quirky characters who each have their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. Seraphina was so much more than she first appears- which made this story all the more fun to follow.
This is a fairly light-hearted and fun paranormal romance with cupids, drama, chemistry, connection, redemption, and emotion. Will Seraphina succeed in finding a love match for a scandal riddled hockey player? You really should read all the engrossing developments for yourself.
Looking forward to Book #5!
Thank you, Brooke May!

Seraphina has had it with her task of cupid and her target Seth Maxwell. He is a tabloid nightmare and more difficult to match then she thought possible. Seraphina has a plan though to make the perfect match, will Seth find his happily ever after or will Seraphina fail at the match?
Fun read. I liked that Seraphina was different then than what you would expect from Cupid. Seth is an entertaining bad boy who is not happy with the changes he has to make. Great read for the holidays.

I’m very familiar with this author, so I didn’t hesitate to give this book a shot. Seraphina is a sweet story. A bad boy finding his way again. With some romance thrown in.
How would you feel if Cupid/a Cupid helper ended up on your doorstep?
Well that’s exactly what happens in this story.
Seraphina ends up on the doorstep of the one man she’s tried to help twice and failed.
Is the 3rd time the charm?
Seth is a hockey bad boy. He’s constantly receiving bad publicity. He only cares about himself. He is a selfish teammate. Yet these are all qualities he’s developed over the years. He was never this guy when his grandmother was alive.
Can he be reformed?
Mallen is one of the many who helps keep Greater Chances up and running. For kids that don’t have the same advantages due to their families social/financial standing in society. So one day when a hot shot hockey player comes in from the local pro-team she has every reason to be skeptical. What is he getting out of this?
It wasn’t until Cupid’s Helper revealed herself that she learned the true purpose of what’s in play.
However, is that enough?
Can the character’s in play keep their ego in check for the greater good of the story?
You will just have to read and find out!

Seraphina (Heartstrings Series) by Brooke May – Review by Jennifer Ramos
I’ve read a few of Brooke May’s previous books and really enjoyed them. This series did not disappoint! It was such a cute and funny story. Quick and enjoyable read! Another of Cupid’s helper is Seraphina, quick to anger and thrown into quite a challenge for her next assignment. A popular hockey play for all the wrong reasons. Seth does a much better job at finding trouble rather than finding love. Quite a comical journey to getting to where he is at to where he needs to be.

It’s been a while since I have enjoyed the goings on of the Brookes Cupid’s and was excited when I saw this new book out. These Cupids have all the right intensions but not everything goes to plan. You will fall in love with them and their quirky ways.
Seraphina is the fourth book in the wonderful romantic comedy The Heartstrings Series. The books in this series are funny, fun, original and refreshing.
This story that drew me in from the start and I found myself getting lost in the story. It’s easy to get lost in the story and you can’t help but fall in love with this quirky cupid. Laughing out loud with her antics as she tries to right her wrongs.
Seraphina is not like the other cupids; she is fiery and sassy and is determined to help this hockey superstar who is full of himself find love. If it means she has to knock him over the head with whatever she has to get him off his high and mighty pedestal she will.
Seth thinks he is all that but all that has gotten him in trouble on more than one occasion, not that he cares. Let the mayhem begin!
Grab a drink and settle in for an entertaining afternoon read.

I absolutely adore the Cupid series. Seraphina had me chuckling. She’s a little grumpy because she’s stuck with Josh again. She’s tried twice to match him to no avail. Maybe the third time will be the charm. I found this story quite entertaining. You felt like you were right there, whether it was with Seraphina, Seth, or Marron. It’s humorous and serious at the same time. As a society, there is a fascination with celebrities. We want to see and imagine what it’s like to have what they have. I enjoyed this story because it fed that fascination. Seraphina brings together two people with their own sets of issues and it somehow all worked out fine after some guided adventures. It can be read as a standalone. I recommend the whole series. They are all wonderful.
