Rachel Greer is fed up with love. For years she was sure her Prince Charming was right around the corner. Ha. Was she ever wrong (and she's got the exes to prove it). Witnessing her parent's perfect marriage, her younger sister's wedding plans in full swing, and her brother's quickly growing brood, Rachel can't even go home anymore - it's just another reminder of how she's failed at love.  So Rachel's devoting her life to meaningful pursuits, like her Customer Service job at the bank and volunteering everywhere from the local dog shelter to a soup kitchen. She's also determined to ignore handsome firefighter Luke Stanton - who suspiciously opens up a new account once a month.  Enter the goddess Venus, forced by her ornery father Zeus into fairy-godmother servitude. Venus is only a few love-life fixes away from returning to Mount Olympus and she's not about to let some reluctant mortal stand in her way.  Venus has barely unpacked her designer luggage before she's found the perfect man for Rachel:  Luke.  He's got a great job and a great bod.  And best of all, he's definitely interested.  But Venus has also found an enemy, in the form of Rachel's best friend, Hannah.  Hannah's not so sure Venus has Rachel's best intentions in mind.  Between Rachel's sabotage and Hannah's mistrust, Venus has her hands full on this assignment!   Sexy, sassy Venus is a force to be reckoned with - this goddess always gets her man, even if she's trying to get him for someone else. Armed with her extraordinary goddess powers (well... the few she has left after Zeus got through with her), a killer wardrobe, and the goddess bible ( Cosmopolitan ), Venus sets out to turn Rachel's orderly life upside down in the name of True Love.… (altro)

I'm not really sure what about this I liked. Everything about it (excluding the obvious suspension of disbelief that Venus was demoted to fairy godmother-hood) was pretty unbelievable. Rachael was pretty ridiculous, and Luke was shockingly understanding. I get that Venus very clearly had an agenda and was pushing the two together, and Rachael fought that (which was a plus for me) until the very end, and then it's like a switch flipped and she was massively in love and her whole personality changed. I don't buy that. Luke was way too hot to be so desperate for Rachael, too - I don't care if she's the love of his life (after one week) or not. Just ...no. Stop. Have a little conviction, man.

The whole plot was just very unbelievable. And yet I don't hate it as much as I should for a reason I can't pinpoint. ( )

remember that short-lived TV show Cupid? Yeah, try that in book form and you have this book, substituting in Venus. The characters were annoying and the writing was monotonous. I was almost too embarrassed to admit that I had actually read it. ( )

I finished it. I am not sure why. Pretty bad. ( )
