Can Great Love be coaxed into existence? Is true romance a matter of
happenstance, or does it derive from some kind of magic? These are the
questions at the heart of this enchanting, endearing, and life-affirming
novel.Cupid is on notice. His boss, Jove, has just announced that he's
downsizing the heavens and has deemed Cupid's job expendable. After all,
in these wired days, a love god seems quaint and pointless. Cupid
manages to buy a little bit of time by asking for one more chance to
show that he can orchestrate a love for the ages . . . but the clock is
ticking.Down on Earth, former ballerina Eve Golyakovsky is living a
quiet life in Vermont, tending to her maple sugar business. She dearly
loved her late husband, a famed choreographer, but more as a mentor than
as a spouse. She's never been truly touched by romance, and she's okay
with that. Evan Cameron is a well-known anthologist with a penchant for
fine automobiles and commitment-free affairs. Love has threatened to
visit him on occasion, but he's always managed to keep it from taking up
residence. When Eve and Evan meet, there's something almost otherworldly
about their connection, and they reach each other as none ever has
before. But Great Love is about more than attraction, compatibility, and
fascination. And when their budding romance is tested, old habits and
new fears seem likely to choke this flower off at the roots. A love this
intense might be more than either of them can handle - and more than
even Cupid can nurture.At once heartwarming and wise, funny and
touching, How to Fall in Love is a love story for the ages and one
uniquely suited to our times.
