Cupid for Hire (Cupids Book 1) Kindle Edition
Cupid meets her match in this sizzling new romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Christina Lauren, Sophie Kinsella, and Jasmine Guillory!
She can make anyone fall in love…
Poppy Hathaway is a professional Cupid. Need a love note, raunchy sext, or apology letter so epic that your other half will forget you hesitated a second too long when you asked, ‘Is my cousin hot’? She’s got you covered. But when her most frequent bachelor client, the annoyingly charming (or is that charmingly annoying?) Dylan Griffin comes to her with a big new job, Poppy discovers that three little words can add up to one big complication…
He’s got his eyes on the (wrong) prize…
Dylan doesn’t want help seducing another swimsuit model (for once in his life). He wants Poppy’s help winning his high-school crush - and he’s prepared to make it worth her while. Throw in a summer Catskills trip that’s equal parts ‘Dirty Dancing’ and dirty-talking, and this Cupid is soon out of her depth - and head over heels with the last man she expected. But can she find the right words when it comes to her own heart? Or will this happily-ever-after be more of a romantic disaster?
Find out in the sparkling new romantic comedy from Lila Monroe!

- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2019I’ve read many of few of Lila Monroe’s romantic comedies, and I always enjoy them. She perfectly balances the heat in her stories with her wicked sense of humor and entertaining plots without heavy angst or drama resulting in light-hearted, easy-reading romances. Monroe’s writing style always manages to pull me right into the story with vivid descriptions and interesting details blended into imaginative storylines full of fun side characters. Her sexy romcoms are always an entertaining reading experience.
Cupids Anonymous is the first book in her new Cupids series. A modern-day Cyrano, the heroine, Poppy, helps communication-challenged romantics profess their love through the written word to their significant others. Anniversary poems, love letters, proposals, wedding toasts—Poppy has it covered. Dylan, a rich playboy hotel CEO, is her most active client.
Dylan and Poppy’s relationship has always been strictly professional, until one shot-filled, truth or dare inspired night culminating in a hot make-out session. With obvious chemistry now sparking between them, it makes the fact that Dylan has hired her to help him land the girl of his high-school-boyhood dreams a bit complicated. Filled with rapid-fire, witty banter and enough steam to fill a sauna, Poppy and Dylan’s relationship shifts from the professional to friends and then to something much more.
Full of humor and heat, Cupids Anonymous by Lila Monroe was an entertaining, amusing, pleasure to read, and it gets 4.5 smooches from me!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2021I really enjoyed this story. The characters were interesting and funny. I think it's well written and had a great concept. Nice funny story that is full of redemption and love to people who deserve it.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2019What do you get when you put a modern-day Cyrano with an incorrigible, unrepentant playboy and add in a metric ton of chemistry? If it’s a Lila Monroe book, you get a hilarious, steamy story that squeezes your heart while it keeps you in stitches.
Poppy Hathaway has made a career of penning the words of adoration and devotion that those in love are unable to express. She has two rules in her business: never take credit for your work and never fall for a client. Dylan Calloway is a client. A very wealthy hotelier who changes women the way the rest of the world changes socks, and he's the absolute last person Poppy should be falling for.
Once again, I find myself crawling out from under a rock because this is my first book by this author. My only regret is that I didn’t find her sooner, because this delightfully heartfelt yet hysterically funny read is only the first of many Monroe books I see in my future.
Poppy and Dylan drew me in and held me captive from the first page to the last. Both of these characters are admirable and endearing, but I think it’s their hint of vulnerability that sealed the deal for me. Their story is sassy, snappy, snarky, sarcastic and smexy so, if you want a book that will leave you with a happy sigh and a great big grin, run to the 1-Click button and start reading today!

SUMMARY
Poppy, on a tree branch in Central Park, coaches a man through his marriage proposal. Luckily she doesn't fall until after the couple have left. Dylan finds her, laughs. He's the best client of her Cyrano business. He needs the apology package for Gigi.
Poppy checks out an office. It would be perfect. But it, like Dylan, is out of her league. She'll keep working out of a coffee shop and the library.
Poppy goes to a club opening with her friends Natalie and April. She bumps into Dylan. He sees someone, hires Poppy immediately to get him a date with Jasmine, a girl from high school.
The ladies go to a yoga class the next day that Jasmine teaches so Poppy can do recon. She left the corporate world to start this studio and she has a beauty products line. She asks her brother, who's in social media, about her. Jasmine has ethics, won't endorse a product she doesn't believe in. Poppy finds a Deepak Chopra quote, tells him to not send candy with it.
Women always love chocolate. Dylan sends 3 pounds. Kyle overhears, knows Dylan asked a girl named Jazz to prom, swallowed a bug while asking. He decided to go to Jasmine's studio.
Dylan was in love with Jasmine in high school. She probably just saw him as a tongue-tied dork. He's too nervous to go into the studio, heads to the cafe across the street, calls Poppy. Then Jasmine comes in. She's busy tonight, but maybe next month. Jasmine leaves. Poppy is aghast at his lack of polish and charm. Dylan offers her $50k if Jasmine goes out with him.
Poppy takes flowers and a note for Jasmine to Dylan's hotel. He has her test mattresses with him. He then does the thrust test, she gets embarrassed, he says loudly Poppy you little minx. They laugh together. He tells her he's inviting Jasmine to the soft opening of his new hotel in the Catskills.
Poppy goes on a blind date. While Chris takes a call, Poppy gets a text from Natalie of a poem Chris wrote and posted, an ode to anal sex. When Chris gets back, Poppy sees everything as a double entendre. She escapes to the bar, busting up laughing. Dylan's there. “She said no. No to drinks, no to the Catskills, no to me.” He invites Poppy to drink with him. She tells him she's on a date and needs to figure out a way to get out of it. Dylan tells her to go sit down, he's got her. She sits, Chris invites her home. Dylan comes up, acts like her ex who's still in love with her, asks her to come back to him, they leave together.
Over drinks, she tells Dylan about the date and poem. He laughs. He tells her he's wanted to date Jasmine for 15 years. He asks how long they've worked together. 13 women, and she hasn't had 13 dates in 5 years. Why not? You're pretty enough. They get drunk, play truth and dare. He invites her to the Catskills to help him get Jasmine.
EVALUATION
This is a light read with great situational humor. I read it after The Discovery of Witches trilogy, knowing it wouldn't have depth of characters, setting, politics, etc. It was exactly what I'd hoped it would be: refreshing.
RECOMMENDATION
Perfect for adults looking for a quick romance.
FAVORITE QUOTES
Is there anything better than taking an hour-long bubble bath in a hotel tub you won’t have to clean?
“We’d be luminous too, if we ate a vegetable once in a while. And no,” she cuts me off before I can reply. “Carrot cake doesn’t count.”
“The most important thing is to speak to someone in the language that matters most to them.”
“The past isn’t up for discussion, you don’t need to feel the need to apologize for your past self’s decisions.” I blink. “That sounds . . . mature. I was just going to stress-eat and make a list of all his most annoying habits.” “That works too.”
I take another sip of the worst cocktail in the world. It tastes like heartbreak and misery with a side of hangover, but I don’t care. I just want to make this ache in my chest go away.
“You think being in love is easy? You think it’s all hearts and flowers and butterflies? Love is damn hard work. It’s messy, and uncomfortable, and scary as hell. But unless you’re willing to put yourself out there—the real you, not this playboy, hair-ruffled bullcrap—you won’t ever know what it’s like to have someone love you, unconditionally. And you want that, don’t you?”
Cake, at least, doesn’t lead me on and break my heart. Cake is always there for me. And always will be. On my hips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous
I really enjoyed this book!
Poppy writes poems and love letters for those who have difficulty expressing their true feelings. Dylan hires Poppy to write these for all of his conquests, until he sees Jasmine again - a girl he knew in college. Now he wants to conquer Jasmine, but Poppy has started to realise that Dylan is not as superficial as she first thought!
Cue lots of mixed messages, stolen kisses and broken hearts!!
A really great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Very Enjoyable Read 💗
I seriously enjoyed this book so much. I didn't even know how much I needed this funny rom-com (not sure if that's the official classification but that's how I found it) till I read it. The fact that this came with sheets-on-fire level chemistry is just the very very delicious icing on the cake. There's angst, there's some OW drama but it's all very lighthearted. Even though I did feel for Poppy towards the end ... I'm not giving any spoilers but just saying there's some OW drama which may break your heart. No worries, it all comes together in the end with a grand romantic gesture *swoon* and our matchmaker finds her own true love.
- Ursula SorensenReviewed in Australia on December 5, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars A heartwarming story of finding true love
I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it’s filled with quirky characters and very likeable main characters. There were lots of laugh out loud moments of mayhem, and some very romantic, poignant moments. It was a book you just didn’t want to put down.
I liked the author’s style of writing and the subject matter was very relevant, navigating through relationships to find the real thing. Can’t wait Thread the next one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another good romcom from Lila
I really enjoy books by Lila Monroe for a lighthearted read & this is another excellent example.
As with all the best romcoms, you know before you even start that there’ll be a HEA & Lila always delivers.
Great characters thrown together in believable situations give you the perfect recipe for laughter & tears culminating in the inevitable.
I would have given it five stars if it wasn’t for the fact that the story ends short of its 100% in order to promote the next book in the series.
I have no objection to this practice on the whole, but don’t include it in the percentage of the book!
Please just be honest about the actual length of the story.
