About this ebook

"An outlandish and creative story. The main character having to choose between love and duty proves engaging and entertaining along the racy ride. ...A clever mix of romance, fantasy, and mythology that is well-researched and gives the reader enough background to understand the motivations and backstories. The author has a flair for keeping a quirky tone and wit throughout the story." - BookLife Prize

Cozy Fantasy x Greek Myth x Contemporary Rom-com

Immortality isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, especially for the 3,375-year-old virgin of Mount Olympus. Day after day, the God of Love launches his arrows, then watches from the sidelines while everyone else has all the fun. On a mischievous whim, Cupid sends a love-tipped arrow into the wrong rump—and the gods sentence him to a taste of his own medicine.

Banished from the only home he’s ever known, Cupid plunges to Earth and lands in present-day Tarra, Indiana, where mortals go on about their daily routines, oblivious to the capricious gods stirring the pot from above. Delighted to discover his wings and pubescent pudge have been transformed into a magnificent human body, Cupid swiftly leaves his virginity behind.

But his carnal spree is cut short when he falls passionately in love for the first time in his immortal life, and he understands the full measure of his punishment: he must find the Right Love match for the mortal he desperately loves, and then he must let her go.

Caught between two worlds on a quest to fix Love, Cupid must survive the violent throes of his own coming of age and triumph over the powerful gods conspiring against him. Failure will not be tolerated; success will cost him everything.

First Quiver is an irreverent, contemporary twist on mythology and the struggle between duty and love, a battle as old as the gods themselves.

Cupid was thrown out of Olympus, the home of the gods and sent to Earth because of a foolish prank he pulled. Pan was Cupid’s best friend and had been sent to Earth as a punishment many years earlier but Cupid thought he was dead. When Cupid landed on Earth the gods placed him in Pan’s care and this fun story led the two old friends on quite the journey while the gods continually punished Pan and/or Cupid if they made any mistakes while on their mission of true love. This was an interesting and fun take on the gods. I would really like to read more. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
