"An enjoyable romantic fantasy"

Nic Stone, a member of the Fae race, returns to the mortal realm after twenty-five years spent in the faery realm painting a portrait of Titania, the selfish and cruel faery queen. Titania had promised to grant Nic's human wife, Anna, immortality in return for the portrait. However, she forgot to mention to Nic that Anna must die and be reincarnated and her reincarnated self will be immortal. Nic saw his wife die twenty-five years ago, and he must find her again. Nic learns that should he declare his love to someone other than a reincarnated Anna, he will be Titania's for all eternity. Nic thinks Anna has been reincarnated as the famous singer, Dianna Fielding, because she looks almost exactly like Anna. Nic gets a job as the gardener at Dianna's estate and hopes to make her fall in love with him. He is surprised when he feels only a mild interest in Dianna, but a great attraction to her sister, Stacy. He blames Titania for putting a spell on him, and Titania is definitely causing mischief. Will Nic find his true love and convince her to love him in return?

CUPID'S MELODY is an enjoyable romantic fantasy with great characters. Nic, who prefers the human realm to the faery, has very human qualities and sensibilities. Even though it takes him a while to look deeper than outward appearances, he does come around and is willing to risk all for love. Stacy, who has lived in her sister's shadow, isn't surprised to find the man of her dreams is in "love" with her sister. She tries to aid him in his quest to find his true love, even though it is breaking her heart. Titania is a villain that you will love to hate. She is down-right vicious! The one small quibble that I had was I don't think Titania received her just desserts. Other than that, I found CUPID'S MELODY entertaining and I recommend it.
