Making Love<\/a><\/em> (2017) Aidan Wayne<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Making<\/a>Carla is a cupid, and she wants nothing more than to go out into the world and find True Love matches for humans.<\/p>\n

But as good as her aim is, Carla is terrible at seeing possible chemistry between people.<\/p>\n

A cupid\u2019s arrow only held the Spark of Interest. It got two (or more, depending on the situation) targets thinking about love and started them on the path toward True Love.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After being told she has to retake (again) the course on chemistry, she ends up taking a side project–a succubus who was turned away when she came in looking for a love match.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheoretically. If the succubus or incubus returns the love, something about the magical chemical properties stops the more damaging part of the drain. Supposedly it even creates a truer bond.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What is so sweet about the story is that it is obvious to the reader that Carla is falling in love with Leeta, even if Carla is utterly oblivious.<\/p>\n

The word is not used, but Carla is pretty clearly on the ace spectrum. <\/p>\n

She wondered for a brief moment how it might feel to be kissed by someone who wasn\u2019t Leeta and immediately discarded that thought.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s a sweet story, and a good escape for when you want zero angst and turmoil<\/p>\n
