Emory hates his job—almost as much as he hates being called “Cupid.” Tasked with spreading love throughout the Earth realm, Emory wields his arrows with reckless abandon and matches couples based solely on their entertainment value. On the same day his impulsive behavior triggers an audit, he accidentally breaks the heart of his most dependable client, Blair.Blair completely loses her ability to … ability to feel love and desire, and as her matchmaker, Emory expects her to be furious. Instead, she agrees to help him salvage his floundering career on one condition. He must find her the perfect man. Emory sets out on a frantic search for her soulmate, and Blair seems to find amusement in the diversion. But as the barrier surrounding Blair’s broken heart grows stronger, she is unable to connect with suitor after suitor, leaving Emory to console her after each failed match.
Emory and Blair’s unexpected bond turns into friendship, and soon Emory finds himself falling in love with the one woman who can’t love him back. In a race against time, Emory must mend Blair’s broken heart before her condition becomes irreversible…and before the audit committee banishes him for this grave error.

This book was a really good read. Especially because I read it while I was sad. It was a cute and special kind of book.
The story was quite interesting, and I liked both of the characters quite a lot. Blair and Emory had the sort of chemistry I enjoy reading about, and their friendship was adorable.
I am not giving it 5 stars because I did not like one little part of the story towards the end. It was necessary for some drama of course, but I I did not enjoy the interpretation of it. The writing was simple and likeable.
I am surprised that this book doesn’t have more reviews or popularity as some others, but it is such a pleasing read that I would recommend it to anyone.
I thoroughly enjoyed crossing the realms with this whimsical twist on a classic romance. It was engaging and fun.
I LOVED this read! A perfect romance, especially with Valentines day coming up. A twist on who and what Cupid is and supposed to do. A book that gives you a glimpse into so many different relationship types and the different loves that go with them as well as the heartbreak that can come with broken relationships. This book has you cheering for our main character Emory – even thru all his blunders but there is such character growth for both he and Blair. A sweet, heart warming romance with some laughs along the way that will have you falling in love with love!

I enjoyed this story very much, the characters, Emory and Blair, are wonderful and entertaining . I don’t give it 5 stars because of a little decrease of quality of the story on the second half, but for a debut book it is quite good. I hope to read more stories from Rashida T. Williams soon.

I received this as an ARC and voluntarily give my review. Emory is a modern-day Cupid who does not take his job seriously. Circumstances cause him to rethink his attitude and we meet the couples and his sole client Blair. This book has humor, heart, and a message. I really enjoyed it.
This is a new Author to me and it looks like this is her debut book. Emory is Cupid and he hates his job and he makes a big mistake with Blair. As he tries to correct it they draw closer, will he help her heal and find someone else or realize that they are meant to be a couple. I will be watching for more by this Author.

Beaus and Arrows is a very cute concept. Emory is cupid, and his job is essentially as a matchmaker. But ironically Emory doesn’t believe in true love…so he’s terrible at his job.
So terrible that he messes up the love life of one of his favorite clients and breaks her heart. The only way to fix this is to work together with the broken hearted Blair. And the cherry on top of this bad situation is that Emory is being audited by the powers that be, so he’s on a time crunch.
Beaus and Arrows was adorable. Emory and Blair slowly come together and become friends, bonding over his job and the terrible dates he sets her up on. Emory especially grows as a character, learning that perhaps love isn’t the awful thing he thought it was, as he catches feelings for Blair.
Their banter was hilarious, and I loved reading about their antics together. While the plot was a tad predictable, and the ending conflict got resolved a little too easily, Beaus and Arrows was still a fun and enthralling read. I adored it and will be watching for more from this new-to-me author!
