Cold and heartless, thoughtless boy
Who’s never felt that which you destroy…

Cursed by a witch over a practical joke, Cupid is doomed to centuries of life as a reindeer, unable to be freed until he falls in love. But how likely is that to ever happen, when all anyone sees when they look at him is a reindeer?

For Mercy Devers, all anyone sees when they look at her is the scar marring half her face, left by the fire which claimed her parents’ life. Ashamed of her disfigurement, she lives as a recluse, only creeping out at night to wander the town where she grew up.

Until one Christmas Eve when she spies an ice sculpture in the town square. An ice sculpture of a reindeer so beautiful it takes her breath away…

Gingersnaps: Cupid continues Ms. DaFoe’s stories of Santa’s reindeer. Cupid is the real Cupid, god of love and beauty, son of Venus (Aphrodite) and Jupiter (Zeus). Unfortunately, he liked to play jokes. When one backfires on him, a witch curses Cupid to live as a blind and helpless beast until by mercy’s touch he be released.

Mercy Devers is a beautiful woman who was disfigured by a fire when she was young. on line viagra Most men who suffer from impotency usually feel that Sildenafil Citrate always works for them. super viagra generic Sexual arousal, on the other hand, is not partner specific. viagra price This is the medicine that cures the symptoms associated with impotency are diabetes, heart disease, stress, depression and fatigue, living us with no time to find an escape and care about our health. Impotence is a buy viagra article buy viagra very serious problem for men, which prevents them to maintain or attain erection sufficient for pleasurable intercourse. She almost never goes out as she is ashamed of her looks. Until on Christmas Eve, she is almost compelled to leave her home. I could feel the fear in Mercy as she walked by the church and her joy at the ice sculptures in the Town Square.

I felt the range of emotions in Cupid by the detailed descriptions that Ms. DaFoe writes. I could visualize myself standing next to Cupid in the square as Mercy cried over his perfection and his solitude.

As Cupid went with Mercy to her home and found joy being with her, my heart sang that two people who were so meant to be together could possibly find love with each other.

But remember, this is a story of a curse, a witch crossed, the god of love, mercy found and Christmas magic. I enjoyed how Ms. DaFoe intertwined all these parts in a very fluid story that warmed my heart and my soul and has me looking for the tales featuring the rest of Santa’s reindeer.
