Another great read by Brooke May! Faida is the second book in the Heartstrings series, and it is just as good as Aiko. This is a romance story about one of Cupid’s helpers, Faida and like Cupid’s other sisters, Faida has been given a new assignment to help to someone try to find love again. The thing is, Faida has been helping humans find love for so many centuries and like many of us, she gets to thinking about all of the relationships that didn’t work out. Will this one work out or is it going to be another bust? At one point this particular assignment has Faida wondering what she’s missed and how much more can she do for people and their love lives. I hope that you are able to pick up a copy of this book and enjoy it as much as I did!

Just loving these fun covers !

I can only imagine how tough it is to help others find love , sometimes it leaves scars because people are so bitter and jaded and not every story has a HEA ….

Robert hasn’t had it easy and he’s the definition of ice king but his daughter seems to have a way of getting through to the bit of light in his darkness🥰

Alice is a real sweetheart and I’m so grateful she manages to touch her daddy’s heart, it feels like she’s helping him hold on to his humanity

Faida had her work cut out for her with this assignment and there were a few occasions where I would’ve walked away but nope Faida preserved , you go girl ! Love you to bits 🥰

Looking forward to the next instalment ❣️📕

Faida has seen a lot with the assignments she has been assigned. So now she is skeptical of love because of what she has witnessed. With Robert being her assignment it could be just what she needs. Robert has been hurt and is real closed off. The only exception is his daughter Alice. So since Robert loves Alice so much. Faida has faith he Robert can love someone else.

After reading book 1 with Aiko, I was very excited to delve into Faida’s story. We get a glimpse of her in the first book and I loved seeing the development in her character. While I did enjoy Aiko’s story more, Fairda’s perspective of cupid was interesting to read. Additionally, the short rom-com flowed well and highlights a different look at love that would make your heart flutter.

Faida (Heartstrings Book 2) by Brooke May was a wonderful continuation. I love the plot and setting of Brooke May’s world and this just added a different level. Faida is up for a challenge and seems to have met her match. I felt for both hers and Robert’s history. I cannot wait for the whole series to be done, this is a world I know I will want to revisit again and again.

Faida is the second book in the Heartstrings Series by Brooke May. This is a short Paranormal Romance that I absolutely loved reading. I literally read in one afternoon I had to know what was going to happen. I loved Faida and even though she has had some things happen to her to cause her to have a icy she may have just met her match with Robert. He’s got an ex that did him wrong and he pretty much swore off love. His only love is for his daughter Alice. I absolutely loved Alice. Can Faida help Robert find his love? I highly recommend reading this heart-warming book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to see what this author brings us next. I highly recommend reading this whole series if you haven’t started already.

Faida (Heartstrings #2) by Brooke May

This is the second book of May’s that I’ve read. Fadia is part of the Heartstrings Series, but they are standalones. May can write and she knows how to do it well.

Fadia is a Cupid and helps Cupid with his work. Akio is her sister and she isn’t sure why there is a celebration when Akio matched a couple. A new job makes her see how things are. The quote I chose for Fadia is: “Hi, I’m Faida. Like Alice said, I’m her new nanny. I’m new to town actually.”

Robert is a single dad and cold hearted. He doesn’t let his guard down unless it’s to his daughter. He does want a relationship, but doesn’t know how. The quote I chose for Robert is: “Faida, I can’t deal with this right now. My VP is coming and I have a meeting to prepare for. Just … leave.”

Mika works for Robert and has been a good friend of his since his divorce. She likes working with him and she does like him. The quote I chose for Mika is: “I’ve never wanted to go anywhere. I’m happy with where I’m at and what I do. Robert is a great boss and I get raises when it is fair. I don’t get bored and Robert values my opinion. I worked for one other man before him and that man treated me horribly. Robert is nothing like the icy man most think he is.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Romance lovers.

Faida is book 2 in the heartstrings series. The books have much of the same characters in them but do not have to be read in order. Faida is one of Cupid’s angels sent out to find love for people. Faida’s newest quest is not that easy. Robert’s heart is closed off to all except Alice, his sweet young daughter.
Faida had her own heart made of ice so she has ways to get through to Robert and help him find a suitable match. This was a quick read for me but doesn’t mean I liked it any less. Another great book by this author with a easy to follow story and I look forward to more by this author.

Another book by Brooke May that pulled at my heartstrings. It’s been a while since a paranormal romance series has kept my attention but this sweet and funny romance is doing the trick. Faida is a cupid that seems to always get the troublemakers and Robert is a single father to an adorable daughter. Faida and Robert both have icy hearts and it was enjoyable to watch them chip away at them. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

This was a sweet, fun, and original book. This is the second book in this series and can be read as a standalone but it is my suggestion that you read the first one for the best experience and because it’s a great book. We met Faida in the first book and in this one we get to know more about her. Faida is trying to help Robert get past his icy heart and open it up for love again. I also really liked Alice, her character was cute and at the same time she was wise beyond her years. I read this story in one sitting because I didn’t want to put it down. I truly enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to read the next one. I highly recommend this book.

Faida (Heartstrings Book 2) by Brooke May. This is the second book in this series and it’s just as good as the first. In the first book we are introduced to Faida who is one of six beings that helps Cupid to mortals and their love life. Faida has had her heart broken so many times and been let down so many times that she no longer believes in the love she helps Cupid find for people. When she meets Ice King Robert Peters who has also been let down multiple times in love, Faida has met her match. When she tries to help Robert find love she is going to have to change her way of thinking to make it work. Robert has made it very clear he only loves one person and that is his daughter and nothing will change his mind. When Faida tells him he’s stuck with her until he finds love he’s not super excited. This story will make you laugh out loud and root for the underdog. Read Faida to find out if Robert finds true love.

Faida be Brooke May is the second book in the Heartstrings series. This is a great continuation of her series but can be read as a stand-alone.
Although I found this was a pretty quick book to read I was fully drawn into the story from the start. I really enjoyed the characters and the connection between them. They both seemed so jaded at first and I loved how you saw them develop as the story went on.
The book itself was a great story. The authors has created a sweet but fun story that you will find hard to put down once you start reading. It was wasn’t to read this book in one sitting, although I wish I could have made myself draw it out a little longer. Brooke May has done a brilliant job with this book and I would definitely recommend it.

The second in the ‘Heartstrings’ series introduces us to Faida, one of the six beings who help Cupid guide us mortals to love. Faida has grown jaded after eons of helping humans find love and as a result now has an ice cold heart. “Assassinations, infidelity, and betrayals of her past haunt her present”. However, Faida meets her match in ice king Robert Peters who has also been disappointed in love. Robert is cold and ruthless with everyone except his young daughter. Faida needs to soften her own heart towards love if she is to help Robert find love. This is an engaging and enjoyable sweet paranormal romance and the author really brings the characters and setting to life with her descriptive narrative. It’s a lighthearted and heartwarming romantic story which had me fully immersed in the story from start to finish. Although part of a series it can be read as a standalone story but some of the characters do overlap. I look forward to the next book in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Faida is the 2nd book in the Heartstrings Series by Brooke May. It is a funny but sweet paranormal romance. It can be read as a standalone but I’d recommend also reading Aiko, which is the first book in the series.
Faida is a cupid. Cupid himself has too much work for just one person so had a small group of women who carry out much of his work for him. Having become demoralised about love, Faida is struggling with her role as a cupid. If she doesn’t have much belief in love herself, then how can she instil it in others. This is not helped when she’s given a tricky assignment to complete.
Robert Peters only loves one person and that is his adorable daughter Alice. He has absolutely no wish to become involved in any romantic relationship so he’s less that impressed when Faida announces that he’s stuck with her until he falls in love.
This is a funny and charming read. I particularly found the early interactions between Faida and Robert very amusing as both are exasperated with the other.
This is a short book which I devoured in a couple of hours but the author manages to pack a lot of content in and keeps the reader engaged throughout.

This is the second book in the Heartstrings series and I enjoyed this just as much as the first. The characters are well written. I especially loved Alice Robert’s young daughter. For someone so young she has a really faisty and determined personality and is set on helping her dad find love.

This story follows another of cupids helpers called Faida. After a life time of helping people find love and having to deal with cheaters and liers she has become as cold as icy and doesn’t actually believe love exists.
So when  she is sent on her next assignment she is expecting more of the same lies and deceit.

What she doesn’t expect is Robert Peters. Robert has had a bad experience in the past with relationships. After being hurt and cheated on he has closed his heart off to everyone apart from his little girl.

With the help of Robert’s daughter can Faida help break through Robert’s cold heart and show him what’s right in front of him? Can she thaw her own heart in the process?

Faida by Brooke May is a fun and entertaining read through and through. This is the second book in the Heartstrings series, a series I recommend reading in order for your full enjoyment. This is a truly original series as it follows Cupids with their newest love assignments. I’ve never read anything like it!

I was able to read this story in one sitting as I found it to be a shorter read, however, I still enjoyed it. It’s a quick, witty, intriguing and easy to read story that follows Faida with her newest assignment. An assignment I was really intrigued by and didn’t want to end.

I look forward to reading more from this author in the future and would recommend this series to anyone looking for their next one of a kind read.

This is the second book in the Heartstrings series. It can be read as a stand-alone though I do suggest that you read book one as well ( it was just as good as this one). The story is a sweet romance with a supernatural twist. The series is quite original in the fact that’s it’s about Cupid. Each cupid is assigned to bring love to a specific person. In this book, it’s Faida’s turn. Faida’s past targets have shown her betrayal and heartache which caused her to harden her heart. Her newest target Robert has a heart colder than hers. How can she convince Robert to take a chance on love again when she’s given up as well? Read to find out.

Oh how I love this series!! I didn’t think anyone could top Aiko but Faida has come pretty close. This was such a sweet heart warming story, heart warming being the key words there. These books have such unique storylines, not often, if ever, have I read books where the main characters play roles in a romance quite like this.

I read this book in a little under an hour and hated for it to end. I don’t want to give away any of the storyline so will just mention that Alice was one of my favorite characters in this book, her connection to Faida was awesome and having Aiko show up here and there also made me smile. I love this author’s writing style and am already looking forward to book 3.

This can absolutely be read as a stand alone but the first book is just as awesome so would recommend reading them both.

A definite feel good quick read! Loved it!!

But when she meets Robert they have something in common, he feels the same way she does. These two have a connection, can Faida help Robert? Will they both finally understand what true love is?

Overall I enjoyed the story. I really liked the characters, however it did take me a little bit to warm up to Robert, the author does a great job of pulling your right in with her writing. Even though it is part of a series, you can read Faida as a stand alone. If you like paranormal romance you will enjoy this series. 1-click and get started today.

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.

I really enjoyed the first of Brooke May’s Heartstrings novel so when I saw this was coming soon I knew it would be a one-click. The concept is really a nice and refreshing spin on the paranormal romance trope. I like how believable the stories could be and still has the air of some magical moments. Faida takes the spotlight in this one obviously but she is such a different character than Aiko and I was really drawn to her as a person. I found myself wrapped up in her story late into the night. I thoroughly look forward to seeing what other characters we get in the upcoming novels. If you love paranormal romance with some hints of comedy and sweet love moments this is not only the book but the series for you too!

Faida is the second book in the Heartstrings series by Brooke May. This is a short sweet and fun paranormal romance story. This is the second book in the series and can be read as a standalone. The main characters where well written and I loved the little quirks they had.

Faida’s has had disappointment and now is her time to shine. Jaded from centuries of helping humans find love and the betrayals of her past haunt her present. She has formed and icy exterior around her heart.

When Faida meets Robert Peters, she realizes they are two pees in a pod with both their hearts frozen. Robert knows his own betrayals the only time he loosens up is when he is with his daughter.

With the help of his daughter can she thaw heart enough to see the love that’s right in front of him? Will Robert realize what is right in front of him before it’s too late?

I loved reading this short story and cant wait to see what Ms. May has in-store for us….

Faida is a well written story and one that I really enjoyed. I liked the first book in the series so I was looking forward to the second and it didn’t disappoint. I liked Faida, she had a past that had made her the way she was and it was interesting to read her story especially given her role and see how she was going to or even if she could change her ways in order to help Robert. I really liked Robert even if it did take me a little to warm up to him, he was similar to Faida – they had a great connection and I definitely enjoyed reading about them.

Love is never easy and Fraida knows that more than most. As a cupid she has seen it all.

This is a well written story that has characters that not only bring the story to life but also makes it fun to read. This is a shorter story that is engaging and kept me turning pages to the end. This is Faida’s story. She has a past that is full of disappointing things that has made her heart icy. She is about to meet her match in Robert. His heart is just as icy has hers. Now she is faced with melting her heart in order to help Robert see what is in front of him. They made such great characters. They really made the story enjoyable for me and easy to read. This heated up a cold afternoon for me and I think it will for you too. I highly recommend this book.
