10 Irresistible Cupid Books Packed with Magic, Mischief & Romance
Cupid might be the god of love, but let’s be real—his arrows cause more trouble than romance. Whether it’s a mischievous matchmaker getting tangled in his own magic, a broody immortal meddling in human affairs, or a love-skeptic forced to play wingman, these paranormal and fantasy romances put a fresh spin on Cupid’s myth.
But before we get into the book recs, let’s talk about the winged troublemaker himself.
Is Cupid a Roman God?
Yes! Cupid comes from Roman mythology, but he’s based on Eros, the Greek god of love and desire. While modern depictions show him as a chubby cherub, the myths tell a different story. He was mischievous, powerful, and sometimes downright reckless with his arrows.
One of the most famous myths about him is Eros and Psyche, a love story filled with trials, betrayals, and divine intervention. If you love mythology-inspired romance, check out our list of Eros and Psyche book recommendations for retellings that bring their epic love story to life.
But Cupid’s influence isn’t just in ancient myths—his magic lives on in paranormal and fantasy romances. These books take the concept of love and arrows to a whole new level, with cupids getting caught in their own spells, gods running dating apps, and matchmakers falling for the wrong person.
