Courting Cupid, Cute Comedy

Back of book reads... "Ready... Career-driven Blake Donovan planned to score big time at the annual management retreat and become the new V.P. AIM... Then Eloise Periwinkle blew into the retreat on a breeze, knocking Blake right out of his polished wing tips. Who was this sweet, bumbling uninhibited beauty? And why was she playing Cupid for him and Margaret, his rival for the top job? FIRE...OOPS! Suddenly Blake was a lovesick fool-- for Eloise. She, however, was convinced she was the wrong woman for him. But when Cupid strikes, even the most unlikely opposites can find their own happily ever after." Eloise Periwinkle is not Heaven's best Angel, but she is a very endearing character. While she has indeed failed many of her assignments, due to the fact that their results did not meet expectations, yet to me they exceeded expectations. Her newest assignment is in the Cupid department. She is to unite Blake Donovan with Margaret Wykoski. Once again troubles begins and hilarity ensues. This book is as cute as Charlotte Maclay's take on Cupids and love. I would recommend this book for some good, simple, comedy enjoyment.

CUPIDS?

Eloise Periwinkle is not having much luck as an angel. She has failed one too many assignments and has just one last chance to prove her competency; she needs to unite Blake Donovan with Margaret Wykoski, two very driven business people. The problem is that the other cupids want her to fail because if she is able to do her job "he big guy upstairs" might realize how easy their job is and downsize the department, so they give her an impossible assignment. Blake and Margaret absolutely hate each other. So Eloise goes down to earth and...you guessed it she falls in love with Blake. Eloise herself saves this rather sad and lacking plot by being very funny and heart warming in a naive way. Blake is a very inconsistent character and Margaret is unrealistically obsessed. Over all I liked the book but it wasn't anything to shout about.
