My Valentine

by Sheridon Smythe

Delivering Valentine’s was an unusual job for a lady, but Rosalyn Sue Mitchell had lots of newfangled ideas. Rosalyn – affectionately known as Cupid – liked her job and her independence. But she was downright tired of hearts and flowers. She longed for the love her valentines helped bring to everyone else, the love her friends were always urging her to find. Then a handsome gentleman from New York City came to town and dedicated himself to getting Rosalyn into the spirit of the holiday. Dark, charming Christian Garrett would make Rosalyn his – as long as she didn’t find out who he really was.

I guess this story is sort of fanciful, but I really enjoyed it. I chose it because it was Valentine themed and I thought it was a timely choice. At the start I felt maybe it would be a bit frothy but found myself getting caught up quickly into the story, set in a small town in New York state in the 19th century. It is a bit dated of course, because although Valentines are still big business, I don't think there are many betrothals won or lost on or around Valentine's Day as in the book, but it was a fun and interesting read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would read it again, and would recommend to anyone who likes historical romance and is looking for a fairy tale type story that is still able to capture your imagination.
