This is another great addition to this series, one with a very modern day Shakespeare feel to it. This was a fun and entertaining story to read with some highly amusing characters. This is one of those books that is quick and easy to read because you get right into the story and can’t put the book down.
This is an author that really knows how to connect to her audience. All of her books and series are different and yet she nails it every time. I love how light-hearted she has kept this series and I think they have been wonderfully written. Any rom-com fan should check them out.

Short, sweet, great read. Such a sweet concept of there being helpers for Cupid, to bring people together. I love a good feud, this one was to the point and resolved nicely. I really did have a little hate for Billy’s mom, the way she guilt tripped her over her grandfather and the way she was living her life hurt my heart for her and her future with Leo. It was nice to see Billy and Leo put their feet down and say enough is enough. Nice clean romance.

Book 3 of this super fun and quirky series brings us Malayeka when she is given her next assignment to help Billie and Leo who are actually friends but have to keep their friendship a secret due to feuding families. Yet again this amazing author gives us a fun storyline filled with wonderful characters who I was cheering on right from the start. Bring on the next book because I am having so much fun I need more!

These covers really are cute ! Having read the previous 2 books I knew I was in for a treat 💘📕
Billie and Leo are Malayeka’s next assignment and things aren’t going to be easy because of the existing rivalling of the families both in business and family matters …..
There were times I wanted to pull my hair out so I can only imagine the levels of frustration poor Malayeka had to go through ….
Malayeka is a girl after my own heart with her love for all things sweet especially a good cookie , who can walk away from that !?
I was convinced we could learn from past mistakes and look to a better future filled with love , peace , harmony and you guessed it good cookies 🍪🥰😂
Another fun instalment 💘📕

If you haven't completely fallen in love with this series yet, you will be the end of this one! Book 3 features Malayela (Mala) and her quest to restore peace and harmony in a small town that she's familiar with. The Reids and Thompsons fight like cats and dogs...or the Hatfields and McCoys.
This book is about redemption and righting wrongs..even if they are hundreds of years apart. Be sure to check out this fun rom-com! You won't be disappointed!

This is the third book in this series and just as the previous two, I was in love by the end of the first chapter. The author did an excellent job keeping you from wanting to put this book down. She did a phenomenal job with her characterization. I personally felt as if I knew these characters. I thought she did an amazing job building the story, so I was able to visually view the world around me. I loved how she weaved the story into a lesson that everyone needs to know which is how one small mistake can impact so many lives and individuals. This is a very wholesome book that I thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend you give this a read.

You can’t help to love who love. Even if your families are sworn enemies. She’s hoping history won’t repeat itself. Mala is trying to fix this because in the past she was unsuccessful. I really enjoyed this series. I highly recommend it.

Malayeka is a Cupid, or at least, she is part of a team who aid Cupid in bringing humans together in true love bonds, but it is not as simple as it sounds, however, Malayeka does love her job and when she receives her next assignment, she is looking forward to getting started, even though it is not the first time she has been to the place she is being sent.
Two centuries before, Malayeka had been assigned a couple, but it did not go as smoothly as planned and it created a rivalry more thorough than certain ones mentioned in a certain play, so now she is back, she wants to get the lay of the land, in a manner of speaking. Unfortunately, the first thing she sees are two grandpa’s in boats on a pond threatening each other with shotguns, the next thing she sees is the town the two families live in and the literal divide it has created, with the Thompson’s on one side and the Reid’s on the other. The atmosphere is tense as she walks down the middle of the street while being hailed into shops by both sides, but there is only one she is looking for and that is a bakery, this is where she meets Billie, the owner, the first of her pair.
As Malayeka is introducing herself, the bakery suddenly is full of chaos with two men stood outside laughing, this is where Malayeka meets Leo, the other half of her assignment and this is where she realises the extent to what she will have to overcome to bring the two together. With her favourite sweet treat of a cookie in hand, Malayeka starts to make a plan to bring the two and their families together, but will the past repeat itself, or will the future be as sweet as the cookies she loves to eat? This is a sweet romance in every way, which is full of rivalries, loyalties and strong personalities in this tale of fate, romance and feuds.

This is a cute quirky rom com book that is very easy to read in one sitting. This series is about the cupid’s of the world and bringing love to those entrusted to them. Seems easy enough yet when Mala makes one mistake it impacts the fate of two clans for several generations.
With her positive outlook on life and willingness to make things right Mala seeks out to right her wrong from many years ago. Though now it involves shotgun wielding grandpas and a town literally torn into two(kind of reminiscent of the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s). Can Mala help Billie and Leo find their own path and finally extinguish this age old war? Or are they destined to follow in their families footsteps and be torn apart just another casualty of this drama?
This really was an easy book to read, and super fast at that. If you like romantic comedies with a paranormal twist and a few wrong turns along the way then you should definitely give this book a shot. You never know when the book you take a chance on could change your day!

Malayeka (A Heartstrings #3) by Brooke May
This isn't the first book I've read by the author. Malayeka is a fantastic read. I couldn't put it down. This is the third book in A Heartstrings Series.
Malayeka is Cupid's right hand woman. She is on the task of mending families. With romance and being a Cupid it's hard. Can she do her job? The quote I chose for Malayeka is: “I’m Malayeka. I’m here for a job assignment and I saw your shop. I have a horrible sweet tooth.”
Highly recommended for Clean Romance lovers.
