GRR Reviews A Cherry on Top (Cupid's Cafe) by Ashley Lauren

A Cherry on top is about a matchmaker in a cafe in Berkeley California. The story is short and charming about getting over a cheating ex with a nice guy.

Katy Cupid had been putting people together for a while... she had these feelings that are almost never wrong. When Faith Mason stormed into her cafe, Katy knew Faith needed... a little faith in love. She had been burned badly by Logan, who was so perfect. When he turned out to be a smarmy bastard who just wanted her family connections, she felt thoroughly humiliated and activated the recluse mode. But her mother's decree that she bring a date for the July 4th family picnic barbeque sent her to Katy Cupid. And Katy knew just who to pair her with... Travis Waverly, a successful photographer, owes Katy a big favor when his caterer fell through. Being setup on a blind date is not his idea of fun, but he can't refuse. And he was surprised to find he found Faith's big and boisterous family a lot of fun to be around, having been alone most of his life. He wanted to date Faith, but after one encounter with Logan, Faith is despondent. Now Travis has to make the romance-worthy grand gesture to show that Faith can have... some faith in him.

Pardon the pun, but the short romance tales pack quite a bit of plot and is a lot of fun to read. The characters are easy to picture, and didn't even need to be particularly deep.
