Blurb: Hindy Nardella, gallery owner and tidy leather diva, isn’t sure about love anymore. His most-recent ex-lover said “sayonara” and headed for Japan despite a week of Hindy begging him to stay. The man before that bid Hindy “namaste” before heading for Nepal seeking salvation. Hindy will accept advice from anywhere, even a tacky Cupid music box which only plays Cher’s “Believe,” and vivid dreams that compel him to leave NYC and head for the Adirondacks.
Cupid leads Hindy straight to a leather bar in the mountains and an exotic drag queen named Patrice O’Malley. For Patrice, whose near-perfect beauty belies his lack of confidence, its lust at first sight, but Hindy has doubts born of his recent run of bad luck in romance. But when Patrice saves Hindy from death by a falling chunk of airplane blue ice, Cupid slams into Hindy’s heart, and Hindy begins to believe in miracles again. Dangers and challenges arise, involving, among other things, crazy ex-lovers, rampaging mosquitoes, and a phantom moose. But life together waits back in NYC, if they can survive, trust in each other, and believe in life after love.

Review: Hindy hasn’t been too lucky in love. He thought things were great with Tim but then, he started noticing signs of problems. Then one day he saw a cupid in the window of a shop and thought it was giving him signs. Then the dreams started about the mountains making him want to go in the worst way.
After Tim leaves, Hindy goes on an expedition led by his dreams and the broken cupid music box that only plays Believe by Cher. His trek leads him to Patrice a lovely flamboyant drag queen that though isn’t Hindy’s usual type sweeps him off his feet and saves his life. Perhaps more than literally. You must read the book and see for yourself what all they go through it’s a laugh a minute!
This was one of those surprises that grab you and won’t let go. The title didn’t grab me, but after much deliberation and reading the description, I was like why not, sounds cute. I am so happy I took the leap. This is now one of my favourite feel good stories. I will definitely read this one again and that’s not something I do a lot of since I have so many books on my kindle.
I love Hindy and Patrice. Both men are so out there and funny, not your run of the mill characters. Hindy is flamboyant and very and quite the Diva. Then in waltz’s Patrice, a drag queen, even more flamboyant than Hindy. The two men were a match made in heaven, though getting there is not that simple. Both men have had bad relationships and problems that come up throwing obstacles in their paths.
I thought the cupid thing was so hilarious. The entire story was funny, sweet sexy and feel-good. I laughed so much I thought I’d cry. I loved Marcel and Carl too. I loved everything about this story. I will be buying Cupid Knows Best, the book this spun off, very soon!
If you like, drag queens, divas, funny, feel-good stories, sweet sensuous and pretty hot mansex and of course, Cupid and Cher this is definitely for you! If you want a story to make you laugh and smile and sigh, to get away from the turmoil’s of real life this is it.
