Bunny-boy Vincent Furnier works for the Easter Bunny Department at the Corporation of Magical Beings.  He loves his job, but his incessant desires often get him into trouble.  After an incident with a satyr, he’s put on probation and transferred to the Cupid Department.  There, he’s supposed to assist the surly, basically-on-strike Charles Ross.  The only problem is that Charlie obviously doesn’t want him there, and Vincent can’t seem to make any progress whatsoever.  Will Vincent ever get back to the Easter Bunny Department?

Can’t Hurry Love is a cute, creative tale of mythology with a modern spin.  The mythological beings of old are now cogs in a massive bureaucracy.  Vincent’s promiscuous behavior might not have been a problem back in the old days, but with the current business model he has to be on his best behavior at work—something he seems unable to do.  In fact, Vincent comes across as a major slut at first.  It’s only later that his inner feelings become more apparent, and I began to sympathize with him.  Surly, stubborn Charlie has burned out as a Cupid.  Vincent’s useless attempts to get through to Charlie were amusing, as was Vincent’s slightly spoiled (yet somehow not annoying) behavior when they interacted.  The connection between the two, when it surfaced, was nice.  The last segment of the book showed a lot of growth on Vincent’s part.  My only problem with Can’t Hurry Love was that it ended too abruptly.  It’s a cute, fun story with a bit more depth than I expected, but I wanted a little more closure at the end.
