My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Aiko by Brooke May a sweet and salty read by Brooke May, and it was not what I was expecting, but it ended up being such a great surprise. I don’t like to do things the traditional way and decided to read this book after I had already read the fourth book of the series. I found that I adored Aiko, even during her most annoying times…lol! I found that I warmed up to her, I mean everyone has their run of bad luck, hers just seemed to be worse than others. This was a great story and one that I feel will hook you from the first page and not it won’t let you put it down until the last page. So, if you do decide to pick it up, make sure you have time to fully enjoy it!

Malayeka is book three in the Heartstrings series. Although i have not read the other two books in this series i was still able to follow along and read. This is a wonderful Rom Com book. I honestly love the way this Author writes it keeps you sucked into the story and i found myself laughing out loud to some parts of this book. The Charaters in this story were fun to follow and relatable. I would highly recommend this read and hope you love Mala, Billie and Leo as much as i did. I look forward to reading more books by this Author and Thank you for the Heartstrings series i really enjoyed it.

This was a light rom-com read that could be read in a day. Aiko is one of Cupid’s assistants who is supposed to help his workload but has made past mistakes that resulted in her being exiled. However, she is given one more chance to help Alejandro where she grapples with a lack of confidence in her abilities. Overall, the story flowed well and I enjoyed the concept as well as the characters.

Aiko is the first book in The Heartstrings series by Brooke May. It is a fun and original paranormal story that I devoured in a matter of hours.
Aiko was chosen by cupid as one of his team who help humans find love- but over the centuries things have not gone smoothly, with mishaps, chaos, and mayhem following in Aiko’s wake. Earning her quite the reputation, as well as getting her suspended from duty for quite a lengthy period. Finally, she has been cleared for duty, once more, but discovers her first assignment will be anything but easy. She will have her work cut out for her, that’s for sure. Will Aiko succeed, or will she end up being benched again? What ensues makes for an entertaining and fun read.
Looking forward to following the rest of the series!

Thank you, Brooke May!

Aiko (Heartstrings #1)Aiko by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This novel is a fantasy romantic comedy with little bits of history and myth sprinkled through it. I found this to be a fun, lighthearted read and the unusual storyline had me hooked from beginning to the last page. The story centres around Cupid and his arrow which with the slightest prick is meant to bring love in to your life. It turns out that Cupid does not work alone but has six beings which help him guide us mortals to love. However, Aiko is not a great Cupid and has been in exile for forty years for causing ‘the worst tragedy in human history’. Aiko has been given a second chance to prove herself and help humanity. Her assignment is Alejandro Gomez who on paper is everything that a woman could dream of, but only in looks. Alejandro’s romantic abilities are non existent and he’s not too keen on having Aiko’s help to begin with either. Meanwhile Cupid and the other five beings are just hoping that Aiko does not cause the world to end. This book has some really touching and heartwarming moments and also parts that our laugh out loud funny. The storyline flows well and the descriptive narrative really bought both the setting and the characters to life. I loved the fact that alongside the mortals there were other mythical beings living and helping to guide them. Aiko is a very likeable character and I felt immersed in her world whilst reading this novel. I am pleased that it’s the first book in a new series and look forward to the next instalment.

Aiko (Heartstrings #1) by Brooke May

My first read by May and I loved every minute of it. Romance meets its maker Cupid and his helpers. Definitely a must read book and you won’t be disappointed.

Aiko is one of Cupid’s helpers and she is the cause of many great love stories that went bad. After not having an assignment for forty years she is finally going out for an assignment.

People watching is a favorite pastime of hers. When she’s assigned to the guy she just watched get his heart stomped on she’s in shock. The quote I chose for Aiko is: “Thanks for pointing that out. I figured with the lack of wooden boats and actual clothing, this was modern times.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Romantic Comedy lovers.

AikoAiko by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Aiko is one of six assistants created by cupid to help out when his workload becomes too much for him on his own, they all have their talents, but Aiko is one who always messes up, from minor to major, plagues to the extermination of civilisations and everything in between, but Aiko now has a chance to make up for these past mistakes and times in exile. Alejandro Gomez is a man with everything, the looks, the job, the personality, but when it comes to women, he is clueless and can’t seem to get the girl he wants.

We first meet both Aiko as an observer and Alejandro having his heart broken, he is in full romance mode, mariachi outfit and all, but it still hasn’t worked. Shortly after this spectacle, Aiko is called home and summoned to a meeting with Cupid and his other assistants, where she is surprisingly given a new assignment and the others show their feelings when it is announced and not many of them are positive reminders of Aiko’s past disasters. When she receives the file, she realises that her new assignment is the man who she has just been observing, the irony is clear, but she is determined to be successful this time.

The time comes when Aiko has to introducer herself and it just so happens that he is looking for a new assistant and this is where she makes her presence known, but it is not all plain sailing even from the beginning and although positive things start to appear, they are quickly forgotten when the negative things start, but at least Aiko has a plan, even if Alejandro is not convinced that it is going to work. He is shocked and doesn’t want anything to do with Aiko, but when he realises that he is going to have no choice in the matter, he finally relents and agrees to Aiko’s help, albeit begrudgingly..

This is a story of romance and a cupid who has lost confidence in their abilities, it is a testament to second chances and making up for past mistakes, but what they are and what the consequences may be is a question only answered by reading the book to find out whether Aiko and Alejandro can work together to create a happy ending.

This book was Just what I needed at present. I have been reading some heavy books and was looking forward for something light to read. As I was reading the book, I was picturing a movie being made , it is a perfect rom-com and people will love it.
Aiko is one of the love angels of cupid. But unfortunately, she has had disastrous experiences before and had been suspended from that role. She gets her first assignment in the form of Alejandro, who is a kind and a caring man.
Aiko is determined to get a perfect woman for him. But she makes matters complicated when she chooses two instead of one, one whom she thinks is ideal for him and the other, completely opposite, to point out the glaring differences. But Cupid’s arrows once shot, follow their own path.
Will Aiko succeed or goof everything up again?
Read to know more in this hilarious book, which kept me awake in the night laughing in splits.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Aiko is a great fantasy, romantic comedy by Brooke May. It is the first book in the Heartstrings series. Having read, and enjoyed a few other of Brooke May’s books, Aiko was absolutely nothing like what I was expecting. I’m not 100% sure what I was expecting from this book but what I got was definitely not it. Now that doesn’t mean that I’m dissing the book or saying anything bad about it. Not at all. It’s just very different from what I thought I was about to read.
Aiko is a totally fascinating character. She’s a Cupid. A very bad cupid. Everything she does turns into a disaster. Is it any wonder she’s not been allowed to carry out any cupid assignments for 40 years! But now she’s got her first assignment, what could possibly go wrong?? How about everything!!
This is a hilarious romantic comedy that had me laughing out loud so many times. Aiko is so full of good intentions and just wants to be a good cupid but boy does she come up with some crazy ideas to get Alejandro (her assignment) to fall in love with the perfect woman.
This is a great read if you are looking for something light hearted to fill up a few hours. I’m also looking forward to reading about the other cupids, who we got to meet in this book, in the remainder of this series.

I have loved all of Brooke May’s romances that I have picked up by her and was so excited to get my hands on this one. Aiko is the first in The Heartstrings Series and I will definitely be following this one as it unfolds closely. This is a light and easy read that will have you swooning and giggling at all the right moments. I loved how this made cupid seem realistic or believable. Aiko is cupid and she is not slated to be the best one lol. She has had the worst luck. Alejandro is her latest client to find love for but what will happen when Aiko’s heart starts making some objections to hooking him up with anyone but her?!?! This is a fun one you don’t want to miss. I can’t wait to see what book two will bring us.

I really enjoyed this  book. It is full of fun and laughed and of course romance.

Aiko is a cupid but she’s an unlucky one. Everything she touches goes wrong. When she is banned for dealing with humans she goes to people watch as a way to spend her days. That is until she gets her next assignment.

As a cupid Aiko’s job is to help people meet and fall in love. Should be easy right? However her assignment is Alejandro.
On the surface Alejandro is perfect. Hes good looking, works as a vet and is very romantic however he can’t seem to keep a woman.

Aiko’s job is to find him his Mrs right and help him settle down. But things aren’t that simple and when he fights her at every turn her task seems impossible.

Will she be able to find Alejandro his perfect match? Is she doomed to fail like all the other times she’s dealt with humans?

Aiko by Brooke May a sweet and salty five-star read. This was not what I was expecting, but it ended up being so much more. I had not read the blurb on this one, just the cover and the author made me want to read it, so it was a lovely surprise when I got into it and realised the subject. I adored Aiko, even at her most annoying I still warmed to her, everyone has some bad luck, hers was just worse honest. This was a great story and one that will hook you in and not let you go until the last page, so do pick it up and make sure you have time to enjoy it, as you wont want to put it down, so don’t go in thinking you will read a chapter or two before bed like I did as you will get up the next morning and need your own injection of something to pick you up.

This romantic comedy about Cupid’s helpers had me smiling and even laughing at times. Aiko is one of Cupid’s helpers but she hasn’t had the best of luck getting human couples together… she’s accidentally started a fire in a library, a war started by a prince taking a woman, etc. Anyway, the book is entertaining and the characters are fun, caring, and relatable. After waiting for many years, Aiko is given the chance to prove herself to Cupid and the mother figure Brielle that she can do good things and bring people together Can she manage to helping Alejandro finally find his love?

Romance author Brooke May spends her days writing whatever her overactive imagination has brewed up and her evenings reading while she works alongside her mom. Telling stories is second natural to her, from a young age she has told anyone who would listen what she had thought up. Now, a mom of two, she splits her time writing, playing with her kids, and of course, hiking, hunting, fishing, and four-wheeling in her beloved Bighorn Mountains.

While on maternity leave with her youngest, Brooke was putting laundry away when she looked at a poem she had written in high school that was framed in her son’s bedroom. That poem triggered the idea of My Cowboy and soon she was sitting in front of her computer with her infant next to her writing her first love story that wasn’t a fanfiction.

by Brooke May

I found this book to be fun, romantic, and unique. I loved how a lot of the laws include Aiko. Although she goes about things in a very unconventional way, I still thought she was sassy and really wanted to do the right thing. She night bend the rules a little but it’s for all the right reasons. I felt like her sisters were really hard on her ( not that they didn’t have good reason) but it would be interesting to get to know them better. I like Alejandro’s character as well, even the times I rolled my eyes at him. Over all I really enjoyed this book and I recommend reading this story.

Aiko is the first book in The Heartstrings Series written by Brooke May and it’s the first book that I have read by this author but it won’t be my last. The story line is very different which I like and the characters are well written. I loved the little quirks they have.

Aiko is back after a forty-year exile. She has been given another opportunity to help humanity.
Alejandro Gomez is everything a woman could dream of in looks. His romantic abilities gyrate to the beat of mariachi. He is also Aiko’s new assignment.

Aiko is the worst cupid she is responsible for extermination of civilizations, plagues, and possibly the worst tragedy in human history may rest on her tiny shoulders.

Can Aiko help Alejandro find love or will she create another deadly consequence?

I simply enjoyed this story and I’m looking forward in reading the next book in this series?

Brooke has written a winner with this story that drew me in from the start and I found myself getting lost in the story. You can;t help but fall in love with this cupid as she is unique and I found myself laughing out loud with her antics. Being the worst cupid out of all but is certainly not for the want of trying.

Aiko is once again on an assignment to help Alejandro Gomez find love but nothing ever goes quite like she would like.

You really need to grab a copy of this clever and interesting story. I know you will fall in love with it. I am counting down until I can get a copy of the next book. Well done Brooke.

Aiko – A Heartstrings Novel by Brooke May was a 4 star read for me. The book was about Cupid and his angels he has chosen to find love for humans. Aiko has had the worst possible luck in helping humans find love. She was recently found in the park watching a man name Alejandro make a fool of himself begging a woman not to walk away from him.
Well Aiko is called home by mother who really isn’t her mother but, is Cupid’s right-hand angel who acts like the mother. Brielle is the sweet loving mother figure of the sisters.
When Aiko speaks with Briella she finds out she can now take on assignments…her next assignment is Alejandro Gomez.
Aiko feels like she is fighting a losing battle with this guy. She has seen him in action and knows this will be a lot of work.
Aiko finds two possible women for Al to date. One is a perfect match and the other she is using to show Al the difference. Will Aiko be able to pull this off or will Al end up either with the wrong woman or possibly single? Aiko is being trusted with this task because Cupid and Briella both believe in her.

This was a cute story. I think the concept was very original. It’s about Aiko, who is a Cupid, needing to help Alejandro get together with the woman he is meant to be with. Alejandro, who is very good looking, has no clue when it comes to women. He is Aiko’s first case in forty years. She was exiled because she caused the worst tragedies in human history. Needless to say, this lead to some comical moments. I found the story to be entertaining with the twist of an unsuccessful cupid. The story is fun, light and filled with likeable characters.

A great read about trying again. Aiko is a cupid that always seems to cause disaster. After so long of being a disappointment to her family, she is surprised when they give her another chance. She is given the assignment of a man called Alejandro who is unlucky in love. She struggles at first but soon finds her feet.But when things get complicated, can she achieve the impossible?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Aiko with her resilience but self doubts underneath or Alejandro stubborn but caring underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the understanding Briella or the supportive Mala or the critcisng Seraphina.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the sense of colour throughout witg the pink dresses or purple eyes or red kimono bold and vibrant and eye catching and wonderfully written. Or the sense of up the cupids home with its clouds and gates for a sense of magic and mystery. Or the colourful scenes at the start with the bright tulips and beautiful garden and the music for the feel or romance gone wrong.
A great example of world building with a series of fantasy creatures coexisting alongside humanity with their own rules and laws and societies. I loved the use of the cupids as something different than other fabtays novels using angels. These were given the respect they deserve and true to their Greek origins. I also enjoyed the tale of an unsuccessful cupid, adding a sense of humanity to the character and making her struggles emotive. I also loved the hints to history like the library and troy adding a historical side to the novel, a wonderful addition. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

Aiko was a wonderful read; it was funny, romantic and had likeable characters in it. It was an easy story to read and it didn’t take me long to get into it at all. I really liked Aiko, I thought she was such a great character to read about – she hadn’t had the best luck in the past with her job as cupid but I could tell straight away that it wasn’t going to be that way with her new assignment!
The author got it spot on with the world building in this story – her richly detailed writing definitely made the story come alive and I really did fall for the characters.
Aiko was a fantastic, light hearted read that I loved from beginning to end! This isn’t the first book that I have read by this author but it is definitely one of my favourites! I can’t wait to read more from Ms May again in the future!

Aiko was a great 5 star read (Romantic Comedy). Brooke has once again pulled me right in with her writing and I really enjoyed it. This is a quick read and you will be done before you know it.

Aiko doesn’t have the best reputation as a cupid, in fact she is considered the worst cupid ever. When she is assigned to Alejandro things get interesting, she is supposed to help him find his match.

Will she be able to help him find the one or will she fall for him herself?

Overall I really enjoyed this read, I had several LOL moments and twist and turns. The Cupid’s Law also had me LOL. I really liked Aiko and Alejandro, they were so lovable. All the secondary characters were great as well. The detail in this book is amazing, you feel like your right there with the characters. I can’t wait to read more from the series. If you’re looking for a fun romantic comedy this is the book for you. 1-click and get started today.

Aiko is the first book in the Heartstrings series and was an interesting read. Aiko is a Cupid who has a rocky and colorful past. She is assigned to Alejandro to help him find his match. Alejandro has a hard time with romance but has a way with animals. The two made for an invigorating read.

I loved the banter between the two main characters and also the different dates they worked through. Aiko was very to the point and Al was full of sarcasm. This book was easy to read and I could not put it down. I was at the end before I realized it. I highly recommend this fun and romantic read. I can’t wait to read more in this series. I loved it.

Aiko by Brooke May was a sweet sassy funny take on a second chance Cupid. Aiko is looking to redeem herself for being a bad cupid. Her next assignment is going to be a good one. Alejandro has the looks but not a romantic bone in his body; he is in need of some help.

Brooke writing just pulls you in and fills your heart with goodness. Perfect name for this series “Heartstrings” because it pulls right on them. Each chapter has a Cupid’s Law and they are hilarious. If you’re looking for a sweet romance for your next read then this is the book for you.
