review 1: It was alright.I was bugged the entire time by the little things. Sorry, the Greek pantheon was always quite special to me, so much so that my very first internet identity was 'Psyche's Song'.I didn't like how Venus said to Roxanne "You need to brush up on your GREEK history" even though everything related to the Roman pantheons.I didn't like that Cupid was the child of Venus and Mars. Yes there is one school of thought that he was the child of Aphrodite and Ares, but that is a more obscure argument and holds little credence. Also, I didn't like that Venus and Mars were together as 'husband and wife'. Oh I'm sorry Vulcan, once again you have been forgotten. Sorry dude. (No really, I am. I always felt bad for Hephaestus/Vulcan and how he was cuckolded by Aphro/Venus.)I didn... more't like how Roxanne started a smear campaign against CDS, and then we find out she isn't fully human. The thought struck me that it just seemed petty and god-like trying to have a 'supposedly' human dating service be held responsible for finding love for someone who doesn't fit the human norm. *shrugs* Just seemed extremely bitter to me and thus put me off her from the start.Maverick aka Cupid, I liked.I did not like how Psyche was supposed to be some petty vindictive bitch.But all in all.. it was a quick romp, and slightly amusing. Though why they didn't think to run the glass of frozen water under the hot water tap is beyond me.
review 2: I loved this, espeacially the interpretation of Pysche and Cupid's relationship! I love that Cupid is running a dating agency rather then running around shooting arrows cause he thinks it's more efficient! I love how he and his heroine meet and was surprised when Roxanne turned out to be a demi-goddess, though it was revealed early in the book. It was so funny how their mothers (who are best friends) interferred to get them together! I also love the portrayal of Aries in this and the relationship between Aphrodite and Aries! The two really are in love as Cupid observes, even if his parents make him want to gag with how loved-up they are! A great read, well worth picking up! less
