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. … 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?

This is the first book in the Cupids Series. It is a stand alone that will have you laughing out loud…a lot.
I couldn’t put this down. I absolutely love Poppy and Dylan.
Poppy is a modern day Cyrano. You need a love letter? She’s your girl. You need some help in the romance department? Or getting the right words out? She’s the one to hire.
At first Dylan is the typical rich playboy bachelor. He’s also Poppy’s biggest client.
Once you get below his surface, he’s a fun and easy going guy. He even has a little bit of dork in him.
Now It does take him time to realize things.
I love how this story played out and I can’t wait for the rest of the series to come out.
Lila Monroe never fails to entertain me with her rom-coms. She always brings a perfect blend of red hot chemistry, her brilliant wit and humour mixing it with low angst. Once you start this one you will be completely entertained.
This is the first book in her new Cupid’s Series and I am looking forward to seeing what else she brings us with this series.
I simply adored Poppy and Dylan. Their chemistry was hot and sparking from the moment they met despite staying strictly professional until a drunken night of shots and truth or dare. I mean what could go wrong?????
Another entertaining, heart-warming tale from Lila Monroe
A fun, amusing, low angst read!
“Making out with Poppy seems like the most sensible decision I’ve made in years.”
Poppy Hathaway has a way with words that earns her money, but she’d like to move out of Starbucks and into a proper office. When her main client makes her an offer she can’t refuse, which will help to set her up, it’s almost a no-brainer. Unfortunately, those pesky lusty thoughts of hers keep messing with her determination to pull off this romantic coup. When their business relationship tips over the line into the personal, things start getting heaps more complicated.
“It looks like Prince Annoyingly Charming wasn’t always so smooth. Dammit, it turns out he has depth, as well as those dreamy blue eyes.”
Dylan Griffin is an unapologetic playboy. When the woman of his teenage dreams crosses his path, he needs Poppy’s help to win her. However, one drunken kiss with his wordsmith unleashes a desire that’s hard to put aside and has him questioning what and who he really wants.
”Our eyes lock, and there it is again: a shot of pure desire, speeding through my bloodstream.”
Poppy and Dylan had an amazing connection and their chemistry was tense and sizzling. Poppy is funny and smart, and a bit of a klutzy disaster zone. LOL. Dylan is adorably bumbling when he’s outside of his suave comfort zone. This was a fab story full of humour, good feels, and sexy times.
Lila Monroe has a wonderful sense of humor and her romantic comedies are chock full of humorous moments and great one liners. I find that I chuckle a lot while reading these delightful romantic romps. Poppy Hathaway works for Dylan Calloway, she his mouthpiece…so to speak. Who better to know him than the woman who writes all of his romantic utterances as well as his apologies. I loved that Poppy is a romantic, hearts and flowers kind of gal. She’s comfortable in her own skin. Dylan, for all his success, is clueless when it comes to women. Hence the need for his own Cyrano. It’s funny how you can’t see what’s right in front of you until you lose it. Dylan does just that with Poppy. Now he needs to fix it before it’s too late.
Absolutely adorable!
Cupids Anonymous is a fun and funny read. The banter between Poppy and Dylan–whether when they’re working together, acting as friends, or something more–is fantastic. Both Poppy and Dylan’s internal dialog was pretty darn funny too. Okay, I’ll admit it, there was more than a little snort-laughing going on while I was reading this one. I’m not sure what has taken me so long to read a Lila Monroe book, but you’d better believe it won’t be my last!
I loved watching both of them work toward fixing Dylan up with his high school crush even as they tried to deny that there was anything going on between them–seeing Dylan go from unabashed playboy to one-woman-man was very satisfying. Fingers crossed that future books will feature Poppy’s two very single BFFs (I’m pretty sure one of them was hinted at toward the end of this one) because I am so here for that. Ms. Monroe clearly has a talent for rom-coms, and I can’t think of a time when I’m not in the mood for a good rom-com in the vein of Cupids Anonymous.
Plus, there was cake. And donuts. And more cake. Really, I’m not sure what more you could want…except maybe cake IRL while you’re reading this book? 😉
Rating: 4 stars / A-
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Cupids Anonymous is a cute, fun and sexy read by Lila Monroe! I just fell head over heels for Dylan and Poppy and read the entire book in an afternoon with a smile on my face.
Poppy is the one Dylan calls upon when he needs help with an apology or wooing a woman. When Dylan’s first love comes back into the picture, he needs Poppy more than ever. However, feelings are growing between Dylan and Poppy as they find that they can easily relate to one another and have fun.
I really enjoyed everything about Dylan and Poppy, together as a couple and as individuals. They had great banter, excellent chemistry and had me laughing throughout the book. I loved everything about Cupids Anonymous and highly recommend it!
Cupids Anonymous is adorable,I definitely enjoyed it.
Poppy is a modern Cyrano,she writes every kind of romantic notes for her clients and Dylan is one of her regular customer.He is a serial dater and he often needs some sweet words to earn his way back into his models lookalikes dates’ good graces.
I liked how the story progressed,how the dynamics between the main characters change from an insufferable “employer – employee” relationship to a comfortable,funny friendship (and maybe to something more) when they spend some time together getting to know each other better and finding out there is something more fascinating behind the facade.
If you want to spend a few hours of these hot summer days reading a sweet book you have to 1-click this one.
Oh yes!! A brand new series from Ms. Monroe!!
A modern take on Cyrano, with a bit of a twist.
This is Poppy and Dylan’s story. Poppy is a modern day Cyrano. And her top client is Dylan.
As with all of Ms. Monroe’s stories, you are going to laugh, you are gonna get a little misty and you are gonna swoon!
I so enjoyed Poppy, she is like the best friend I wish I had. She felt real and imperfectly perfect. She didn’t apologize for her “shortcomings” heck, she embraced them and made them rock!
Dylan is a blind fool! He is the meaning of the saying “You can’t see the forest through the trees”. But he redeems himself beautifully albeit almost too late, but that’s just the bit of angst that I enjoy in a story.
I was so excited to see this new series from Ms. Monroe and I cannot wait to see who’s story she comes out with next!
If you like romantic comedy then this is the book for you. It was a very easy book to read from the first page, it was light-hearted, funny and just the perfect book for a few hours with your feet up.
The characters are hilarious. I love Poppy, she is a professional modern-day Cyrano and is the person to go to get help and expert advice on how to woo your love/lust interest. Except her own, it would seem.
Dylan is one of Poppy’s best clients, there is always a lady he wants to seduce and he calls upon Poppy for her expertise. His next interest happens to be his high school crush. This is not an easy task for Poppy especially as she finds herself falling for Dylan!
This is a definite feel-good read and not a genre I would normally go for but it was well written and I’m sure the pages turned by themselves! I will be checking out more Lila Monroe books now!
Author Lila Monroe can be counted on to provide a lighthearted, entertaining escape in every book she publishes. Cupid’s arrow hits the bull’s eye with the author’s latest novella, Cupids Anonymous.
Poppy’s business as a modern day Cyrano de Bergerac fulfills her romantic tendencies without having to risk the pain of heartbreak. It doesn’t, however, prevent the pain of dealing with a womanizer like Dylan Griffin, who happens to be her best customer.
Poppy and Dylan are great charters, both individually and together. They’re realistic and relatable. Their banter is fun, and as their relationship evolves from business to friendship to more, the chemistry explodes. The plot is well paced, and the relationship development felt organic. In one of my favorite scenes, Poppy calls out Dylan on the real impetus for pursing his high school crush. She proves her understanding of people in general and especially of her clients.
Cupids Anonymous is fun and funny with a dash of romance and a pinch of conflict. A message of self-discovery and acceptance is very subtly embedded in the story. I enjoyed both the primary and secondary characters from vapid Jasmine to misunderstood Dylan to ebullient Sarah. This is an adorable start to a new series.
Constant smiles and giggles while reading this one. Lila knows how to write a damn good romcom. It was such a lighthearted read and everyone needs one of those feel good stories from time to time.
Poppy was hysterical with her sarcasm and cheekiness that made her so relatable and then there’s Dylan…swoonworthy and charming, who is also oblivious and fixated on the wrong things until reality kicks him in the rear.
The development of the characters as well as their friendship, turned relationship was fun and easygoing. If you’re in need of a good laugh at the expense of of mains and their goofy antics, this is a great read for just that.
Oh man I so wish Poppy were real for this girl definitely knows about love. She is a real live Cyrano, helping those in need well find love or help someone when in the dog house. It was in a way funny to see her with Dylan, one minute they annoy each other the next they are thick as thieves in friends. The chemistry between them was like a little boy getting over the cooties and seeing Dylan getting all tongue tied was hilarious. This was really good by Lila Monroe and really hope theres more like this romantic comedy loved it.

A FUN LOVING, SMOKING HOT ROMANTIC COMEDY THAT HAD PLENTY OF HEAT, WITTY BANTER, FANTASTIC AMOUNTS OF HUMOR AND WAS OH SO ENTERTAINING TO READ!
Lila Monroe has another WINNER with her newest Rom-Com, Cupids Anonymous. This fun filled romance gave me butterflies, filled my heart with soft, sensual love and had lots of feels that made this an excellent story.

This is one good story with one seriously good cover that was totally smile inducing. I can’t wait for whats next!
Cupids Anonymous gets a FUN FILLED FIVE ROMANTIC STARS!
Poppy is a professional Cyrano, and Dylan is one of her most frequent clients. These two are unique characters, and so is the relationship they have with each other. This is a beautifully written romantic comedy, which is humorous, emotional and sweet with a twist along the way, which all had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I highly recommend this gifted authors’ work for all readers.
Cupids Anonymous by Lila Monroe was such a fun read and kept smile on my face the entire time. I absolutely loved Poppy and Dylan’s story so much. Their chemistry was insane and I just loved their witty banter. I loved what Poppy did. She was a professional Cyrano helping others find the right words. When a repeat customer is looking for her help, she begins to see a different side of Dylan that surprises her in ways it shouldn’t.
I loved Poppy. From her unusual job, which she loved and was very good at, to her sweet and caring ways Dylan was sexy and charming, but somehow could not find love in his life. Cupids Anonymous by Lila Monroe was a sweet, charming and fun friends to lovers romance. I laughed and swooned and just fell hard for Poppy and Dylan.
4.5-stars. Read and reviewed for Reviews from the Heart.
Happy reading!
I was hooked from the very first page to the last line of this fun, quirky entertaining read staring Poppy Hathaway and Dylan Griffin.
Poppy is a professional Cyrano and if you need a love letter or a heartfelt apology she is the woman to go too. Dylan needs her help to woo the woman that got away, his first love but will Poppy succeed in getting the woman he thought was the love of his life back or will this couple fall head over heels in love with each other……
This author is fast becoming the queen of romantic comedy, her books are captivating, sweet, funny, romantic with banter that flows so naturally add in the adorable characters and you get a great read.
Lila Monroe has once again left me smiling like a Cheshire Cat and excited for what’s coming next.
Poppy and Dylan are just so …… *swoon*
I don’t know how Lila Monroe does it, but each new book has a fresh feel to it. I’ve read other rom-com’s where the characters and/or situations start to feel very ‘samey’, but I never get that feel with this author. I would have read Cupids Anonymous in one sitting if sheer exhaustion hadn’t made it impossible to focus on the plot.
If I had one wish, I’d love to see the author shake up the standard rom-com formula of meet, fall in love, break up, get back together. How, why and what happens after varies with each story, so it’s not a huge issue. Just a little bit of me would love to see it move away from that set path.
This was just such a warm hug of a story, yes there’s some angst, certainly there’s lots of lust and of course (since it’s a rom-com) there are plenty of laughs along the way. However whilst the emotions are there to feel and experience, you are not put through the wringer. Instead you are gently caressed by them as you take this wonderful journey of mis-haps, mayhem, love and romance.
Cupids Anonymous is the PERFECT SUMMER READ! Poppy and Dylan’s story was fantastic and had me hooked from the very first word!
Poppy is in the business of romance and Dylan is her biggest client. Dylan is a major playboy, but he doesn’t know how to woo a woman. That is until he meets Poppy and she becomes his words. He needs her to help win the heart of his high school crush, but what happens when you get struck by your own arrow?
Poppy and Dylan’s relationship was enjoyable and definitely not an easy one. Their chemistry was great. I loved Poppy and her group of friends, plus her unique job. Dylan, well he took some getting used to. He definitely comes across as a major jerk and playboy in the beginning and his pursuit over his crush was a little much, especially when you could feel the tension and chemistry between him and Poppy. Though, at the end he did redeem himself.
This was a fun, enjoyable and hilarious story. Perfect for a summer day!
This is such a fun idea, hire someone to write the words you can’t quite say yourself. And Poppy has quite the knack at doing just that. Her most consistent and constant client, Dylan, hires her for everything, and what seems like all the girls. Somewhere along the way though, work turned into friendship, and hard as they try to fight it, a whole lot more. I totally loved their back and forth banter, the fun they had, his absolute charisma and her heart. And excellent read from Lila Monroe
This book is an unalloyed joy to read. Funny, warm, charming and witty, a fabulous teaming of Poppy and Dylan who just appeal totally to my romantic heart, this book has everything that I look for in a romantic comedy. I have laughed out loud, had location envy, and cheered on the budding lovers. A resounding success, I heartily recommend every romantic out there to one click this book!
