“I adored John J. Jacobson’s Cupid on the Loose!A modern retelling of A Midsummer Night’s Dream,Jacobson has crafted a perfect ode to the wonderful, sometimes woeful, and always whimsical pursuits of love. Billy and Kari are instantly compelling heroes, but Billy’s meddling, magnetic grandmother steals the show. Jacobson’s prose is the definition of delightful. I smiled the whole way through!”

“A charming twenty-first-century twist on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, featuring meddling family members, comical misunderstandings, and a romance with a sprinkling of magic!”
Adriana Mather, New York Times bestselling author
I thoroughly enjoyed this slow, dreamy 21st-century twist on Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is both charming and comical. In “Cupid on the Loose,” … where quasi-magical elements enter the picture and the comedy enters the story. If you are a fan of Shakespeare and tragic/comedies, Jacobson’s book will enchant you.

“Potentially one of the best books I’ve ever read. The story is like a combination of The Alchemist, Heart of Darkness, and Indiana Jones combined. Heavy on the Indiana Jones at the end! Really really liked this book and would recommend it to anyone!” From Goodreads.
his book if you read it for nothing more than the reveals at the end, you definitely should pick it up. A transformative journey back into the Western front— that still makes cowboys cool. Kind of like a John Wayne movie, if John Wayne was younger and ever left the West to really make something of himself other than John Wayne. From Goodreads.
I didn’t expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. Our hero wants to be a cowboy and live in a time when a man’s honor was everything. So what is a romantic young man to do when his heart is broken? Join the French Foreign Legion, of course. Along the way he meets a cavalcade of interesting characters and his life takes some wonderful turns. A wonderful story with twists, turns and laughter. From Goodreads.This was absolutely fantastic! Not the kind of book I’d normally read, but I read it for a book club and I’m so glad I did. This had action, it had romance, it had comedy. I highly recommend picking it up!
