You’d think that basically being in charge of love would be an epic job, right? Wrong. Sure, I can blow some Lust into people’s faces and watch the show, but I can’t actually participate. It gets old, trust me. Same goes for love. I can pass it out like sugar-free lollipops at a dentist’s office, but I can’t get any love for myself. It totally sucks. I used to consider myself a hopeless romantic, … hopeless romantic, so why wouldn’t I choose to become a cupid? Sounds like a good idea, right? Wrong again. They don’t call us stupid cupids for nothing. I’m stuck in this never-ending afterlife where I’m invisible, lonely, and bitter as hell. And yeah, I’m probably responsible for some terrible matchmaking out there. Sorry, not sorry.
All my bad cupid’ing might be why I was exiled from the human realm. You can only do so much before the cupid bosses get all huffy. Unfortunately, my bitterness carried over into the new realm, and then I attacked a fae prince with Love Arrows. Accidentally. Okay, not accidentally. But hey, he deserved it. What I didn’t expect was for him to retaliate and hit my ass with some crazy magic mojo strong enough to push me into the physical realm. Whoa.
That’s right. This cupid just got a real body. And you know what that means…Now, it’s my turn to get some. Love, I mean. Get your head out of the gutter. Wink, wink bitches.
Author’s Note: This is a medium-burn reverse harem story. It includes explicit language and sexual situations. Intended for audiences 18 years and older. As this is a series, there will be a cliffhanger.

I love the playfulness and world building in this book! The main character and her harem are so lovable that I just want to keep them all!
Fun and full of heart
Amazing debut for this author. Can’t wait for the rest of this series!!!
This was my first Raven Kennedy’s book and won’t be my last. This is a great and intriguing Fantasy Reverse Harem Romance. The story is really well written, the world building is captivating. I love the slow burn between Emelle (ML) and her three men, Ronak (Not-First), Sylred (Second), Evert (Third). The storyline is fast-paced, action packed, and filled with hilarious scenes. Emelle is funny/crazy, strong, and adorable. I love her guys! The story ends with a cliffhanger. Now, I can’t wait for the next book in the Series. Melissa Schwairy did an amazing job with the narration. I love her voice!
I forgot to share this one when I read it. such a unique story and super fun. It can be hard to find truly well-written reverse harem stories but if that’s your jam… this is definitely a well-written one.
I’m in love!! It’s exactly what I needed while trying not to have a nervous breakdown with all of this terrible weather that’s freezing my pipes! I laughed or had a smile on my face the entire time I read it!
The characters are perfection! I adore the heroine and all three heroes on so many levels! Their banter is everything!
The whole scenario going on makes the story hilarious, entertaining, adorable, and so much fun!
I honestly can’t think of a single thing that I didn’t enjoy, but brace yourselves……
There isn’t any sex in this one.
It’s definitely going down in the next one though, and the way the story is written made me not miss it too much.
I know! I can’t believe I said that shit either. I wanted it to happen, but it made sense that it would happen in the next installment instead. When it does, I know it’s going to be hot af with those guys!
I’m going to jump straight into Bonds of Cupidity soon which is probably another reason I’m not as concerned with that particular aspect. Lol I’ve got nothing to do but worry and wait! This author is helping me through a stressful time, and I’m so thankful.
Paranormal RH fans, this one’s for you!
This was a unique take on the Cupid lore. The world building was exceptional the character development was deep and thorough and you definitely came out with your favorites. This is a slow burn so there’s no steam to speak of in the first book at all but it’s definitely set up for the second and third books. No trigger warnings. Definitely recommend this as the beginning to the series and I’m definitely gonna look up the other books in the series.
One of my favorites! Definitely Top 10!!
This is my first time reading this author’s book. And I am glad that my dog accidentally bought me the books on Amazon kindle. They are AWESOME!! Emlle is my kind of gal. I can’t wait to read the whole series! I highly recommend this book!
This popped up in Kindle Unlimited, and I loved it so much I bought the series! Emelle is just too funny to ignore. The setup is fantastic: an invisible, lonely, sex-obsessed cupid with a lust quota to fill finally gets a human body (ok, semi-human with wings) and is hell-bent on making the most of physical touch. The situation is comically inappropriate, the euphemisms are hilariously creative, and the love is endearingly genuine.
Reverse Harem Note: I don’t normally go for stories with multiple partners, but the “pack mentality” of the Genfins makes it work. It’s clear from the beginning that the three guys are a family unit, and expect to bond EXCLUSIVELY to one woman.
I adore this hilariously wonderful book!
Signs of Cupidity by Raven Kennedy is a fantasy reverse harem that I listened to on audio narrated by Melissa Schwairy. This is book one in the Heart Hassle series and the book does end on a cliff-hanger.
This is the first book of Raven’s that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. I really enjoyed this spin on Cupid’s. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series Bonds of Cupidity.
Melissa did an amazing job on the narration! She really knows how to bring a story to life.
I would highly recommend this series to anyone who likes fantasy, reverse harems, or slow burn romances.

Heart Hassle Book One.
ML has been a cupid for the past several decades and hasn’t been able to touch, smell or interact in any way with the corporeal world since her initial death. Now she is being transferred from the human realm to the fae realm. After watching the fae prince completely destroying the idea of love by cheating on his new wife with every woman available, ML throws every love arrow she has at him. However, her bombardment backfires when the prince lashes back and knocks her out of the veil. ML lands on an island with three fae who think she is there to spy on, or hurt, them. After being treated dreadfully, ML is about to give up, but an attack forces the three to reconsider her motives.
If you’re looking for a link between the fae and love, this is the book for you.
*The Author’s Note on this book must be meant for the series as a whole, because this book does not contain any intimate contact.

I had a lot of people recommend this series to me so I expected it to be good, it wasn’t. It was freaking amazing! I mean absolutely, completely fabulous! The characters are unforgettable, relatable and loveable. The storyline is so creative, fresh and completely original. I was so engrossed in this utterly entertaining story, the emotions, the love and the complete hilarity from start to finish! This is one clumsy, nonsensically rambling cupid, and I absolutely fell in love with her and the Covey, and the bull and even the Horny Hooker! Literally every character is fantastic! I cannot stress enough how badly you need to read this if you haven’t yet!
Stupid Cupid?
Definitely not stupid, more like blundering through life as an outsider until fate finally takes a hand and pulls her back down to earth. And when Emelle falls, she falls hard, literally and figuratively. Her droll, daily verbal reassessment of the men who capture her will keep you chuckling, while her pertinent observations of the corporeal world are eye opening to those who feel things daily. What happens next? I’m ready to fly into her world again to find out.
A wonderful reverse harem romp!
I love a story that has a sassy herione. When your reading the story and find yourself LOL from the humor if the characters. This story has that. Though it’s a little slow, the banter makes it an enjoyable ride.
5 Stupid Fucking Cupid Stars.
Wowza. This brilliant book had me on my ass. It was hot. It was witty. It was marvelous! Our MC is the perfect breed of spunky and cute. Her inner monologue was my favorite part of this entire story, because hello! She’s so friggin adorable! I was looking for an easy, charming read that would have me in giggles, and this hit the mark. Like seriously. Bullseye. Not going to lie, I was halfway expecting this to be some cheesy RH after it popped up on my Kindle Unlimited, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. As soon as a prince was mentioned in the story, I even did a little eyeroll, but this story strays far, far away from normal, and GASP the prince isn’t even a love interest! Instead she gets three different Hottie McHotties. Wink wink.
Don’t waste time in reading reviews and just read the book!
This book is definitely a unique version of a Cupid’s life. Emelle is funny and witty and maybe a little bit of a smart elic. Watching her discover new things that she hasn’t been able to experience in decades was fun to listen to. As well as the three men she fell upon. I really enjoyed this book and am excited to see how the series will continue.
Narration was great! Melissa gave all the characters their own personalities that were so fun to listen to.
Great PNRFantasy! Great Audible Listen
Signs of Cupidity: A Fantasy Reverse Harem Story
Heart Hassle, Book 1
By: Raven Kennedy
Narrated by: Melissa Schwairy
This story is a delight, it is cute, fun and entertaining. Raven Kennedy creates an imaginative world consisting of different realms and beings. The storylines and characters are interesting and well developed. The lead character, is a cupid, she is unseen by anyone and it is her job to make people fall in love. There are other cupids roaming the world, none have a given name, just a number, this cupid is ML. ML is a bit cynical with humankind, jealous she can not have what she give others, she has developed an attitude and has a mouth on her. She gets pulled from Earth and is re-assinged to another realm, the world of Fae. She gets herself in a bit of trouble with the high Prince of the Fae, she escapes him but is left with a spell where she not only can be seen but she can feel and do all the things she wished she could that her cupid body would not allow. Her escape has her falling onto another island, she had visited this island when she first came to this realm and saw 3 males, at that time they could not see her but she named them in order she would kiss them, #1, 2 & 3. These three turn out to be “Genfins” a different type of fae, they are banished from their lands and are doing time in seclusion. They think she is a spy for the Prince. The story gets more and more interesting, there is some hilarious banter coming from ML and angst from one of the males, Ronak, formally known as #1, he stays skeptical of her thinks she is she devil. #2 and #3, Sylred and Evert do not feel the same. The men all have different powers, Evert aka Stitches heals, Syred calms thru music and Ronak’s power is strength. This is my first novel from this author and I loved it, love the humor she includes, the personality she gives her characters and the world and storylines she created. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Thank you for this awesome story!
I listened to the Audible edition, Melissa Schwairy is a wonderful narrator. She performs the voices for all characters, she brings them to life, gives each their own unique sound and personality. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for this great listen
