Summary: Not much more than a teaser for Book 3
Review: I haven't been able to read the first book in this series by Harbaugh, though I've read summaries and, of course, there are clues in this book as to what happened, so I don't feel too lost. With Cupid's Darts, though, I have to say that I agree with some of the other reviewers here. Kenneth and Aimee - and the anti-hero, Francis - held little interest for me. It was Psyche and Harry who provided all the humour and interest, and I really felt as if I was just skimming this book in order to allow me to get on to Psyche's story.This is disappointing, because I usually rate Harbaugh's books much more highly. I do feel that I'll be rating the final book in the trilogy higher, though!

Summary: Great book!
Review: Ms. Harbaugh is a very original writer. She has written a great fantasy Regency with Cupid/Eros as one of the characters in the book and the source of the conflict. The story has humor and pathos and a lot of wonderful plot complications. Bravo!

Summary: Utterly pointless
Review: While I was totally enchanted with Cupid and Psyche, I could not care less about the title characters: Aimee and... what's his name again? The book does contain some amusing scenes, but I would have rather seen more Cupid/Psyche romance.

Summary: Why bother with Aimee?
Review: While the book was funny in a number of places, it was usually due to Cupid and Psyche. Aimee and Kenneth were boring and pathetic. I didn't like Kenneth at all. He acted horribly and I didn't think he was worthy of Aimee. Aimee was nice, but she would make a better minor character since there is not a whole lot to her. Cupid and Pysche were funny and they seemed to be good friends (I got the picture that Kenneth and Aimee were more lovers than friends). A few scenes could have been cut out to make the book a little nicer (Georgette Heyer didn't have anything remotely objectionable and she was the best Regency writer ever), but it is easy to skim over a few pages and one can try to ignore it.
