Publisher Description
Modern Love meets Greek mythology in this sexy romp!
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.

Fantastic fun read - loved it - more than 5 stars?
I squealed when the book was announced, then waited impatiently for the release date at the end of January. I'll follow this author everywhere because her characters and dialogue always hit me with force.
First Quiver does not disappoint. This is a fun emotional roller coaster. I devoured the book in less than 24 hours, catching each brilliant sentence. Even Cupid's corkscrew lesson left me swooning with awe at this author's skills. Greek mythology is not my thing, but I found myself enjoying this twist of tradition.
The reader does not need to know mythology to follow this story. The appendix was a nice addition, and I welcome more mythology tidbits. The author playfully sculpts the idea of gods interfering with mortals to add dynamics and plot twists that would be impossible in other human stories - I love it.
The brief summary is so clear - a Sexy tale of modern love, ancient gods and mortals caught in the crossfire. Yes, it delivered on all those things with a bit of humour, swoon, and romance. As a spoiler, there's a happy ending without a happy ending that has me hooked on the series.
I'm stalking the author to buy the next one as soon as possible then clearing my schedule to read it in peace. Congratulations on your debut, and I wish you all the best.
