Gracie Evans is tired of settling for boyfriends who can’t satisfy her in bed.  After dumping the last one, she finds herself spilling her fantasies to her friend Shelly in the kitchen at a barbecue.   

Luke Forsythe knows Gracie would kill him if she ever found out he was eavesdropping during the entire conversation, but that doesn’t stop him from using the information he learned!  After all, what he learned of her secret desires coupled with the fact that they’ve been close friends for years might just make her the perfect woman for him.  Now he just has to prove he is the right man for her – and he knows just how to do it!

This is the second book I’ve read by Maya Banks, and as with the first, she has left me hungry for more!  The woman seriously knows how to write a ménage scene!  More than that, Caught by Cupid:  Overheard, is a wonderfully sweet and spicy love story between friends.   

Gracie is given an opportunity few of us have, but many of us wish for:  finding her perfect match right under her very nose, in a man who is already one of her closest friends.  While eavesdropping is not necessarily the politest thing to do, readers can understand why Luke is riveted when he accidentally finds himself listening in on Gracie’s fantasies.  And who can really fault him when the information serves to shake him up and see his friend Gracie in a new light? 

Luke is the bad boy who definitely makes good once he finds the right woman.  In spite of his womanizing past, he is determined to do right by Gracie, which shows in everything he does.   

Overheard is the kind of story that prompts you to take a look at your friends and see if maybe, just maybe, your own soul mate may be closer than you think…   

While Overheard is connected to Maya Banks upcoming book ‘Understood’, they are not dependent on each other, and can be read separately.
