I think I’ve found my new favorite author. After reading five of Natalia’s books I’ve realized I will fall for each and every character and story she writes.
I can’t wait to read Anger’s story.

This is a beautifully told story about Love (pun unavoidable :D). Even though I was rooting for another pair which I knew would never happen, I still thouroughly enjoyed Love and Andrew's story.

Love, who is basically Cupid, is responsible for a small town called Ever. There she meets Andrew. Most mortals can't see Love, but Andrew can. Love has always wanted to have a human relationship, and she sees her chance with Andrew. Except, that Andrew could pose a danger to all immortals. Love has been ordered to ensure that he falls in love with Holly, a local girl.
So, I tried this book because it was on Kindle Unlimited and the cover is GORGEOUS. Seriously. Look at it. I gather this is Natalia Jaster's first book, and it does show in places. There are some small errors in grammar and there is a few places where phrasing is a bit awkward. To be fair, I've seen worse in published works, so it's not too noticeable.
There was something that happened in the book that I think could have benefited from an extra beta-reader or two, but I think that this is a case of the book being self-published.
Overall, it was pretty enjoyable, especially for a Kindle Unlimited debut.

This was an interesting romance where "Love" (one of the immortals who pings humans with her love arrows to incite romance) winds up falling in love with Andrew, a human, and since of course, this is forbidden, chaos ensues. I thought this was a cute idea for a story.

I enjoyed this book. Andrew was great, as was Love. It was imaginative and original. I can't wait to read about Anger next! Good reimagining of Eros/gods/goddesses and emotions and everything. 4 stars. Romantic and entertaining.

This is a story about Love, how she creates it for others but never for herself, and how she falls in head first.
A mythological romance, Touch weaves a tale about Eros, commonly known as Cupid, but in reality is Love, a girl with a bow and arrow whose job is to match humans with their right partners.
Plot:
We follow Love, a 300 year old (but very young) myth who cannot be seen by humans. She and the others in her group, Anger, Sorrow, Wonder and Envy, have completed their training and are set to patrol their designated areas of the world, instilling their particular emotions into the humans that need it.
Love is the first deity of her particular emotion, so the others simply don’t understand. None of the deity’s truly know what love is, and as such, Love has never been properly accepted into their world. She finds solace in creating life matches for the humans who need that extra spark of help, but knowing she can never have it for herself.
One day, a boy notices her. But humans are not meant to see deities. Only a truly selfless person can see them, and his existence spells the deity’s doom. He needs to be eliminated. Instead, Love is falling for him. Uh oh.
Writing:
Written in third person, Jaster’s Touch weaves a beautifully vivid story of humans and the myths that help them. I adored the world building of the mythology half of this novel- it’s whimsical and ethereal and brilliant, and everything else was interesting and cute and lovely.
General Comments:
Touch was beautifully crafted and my only complaint is that I want more from this world. This book was equally heartbreaking and beautiful. Thank you for gifting the world with this story, Natalia.
Overall Rating:
4.5/5 - I honestly enjoyed this so much!

Ok I don't really know how to describe this book. It's obviously about love but also about desire and about what fate is. And I'm kind of overwhelmed with emotions I guess. I mean there was a lot of angst but it's also very deep and I haven't read anything like it before. The angst and the uncertainty of Love and also blindness to the love others feel for her had me a little annoyed at this one point but after that I continued loving it. This is definitely for people who love a good romance. I might update this later bc I just finished it.

This was a light and enjoyable read. It is basically a reimagined story of Cupid (or Eros) who falls in love with someone she’s not supposed to. The writing is beautiful despite a few obvious editing mistakes.
Although we don’t see too much of him, Anger is a character who really intrigued me. Honestly half of me was hoping that he and Love would end up together at the end. Sadly, that didn’t happen but the next book in the series is dedicated to his story so hopefully he gets his happily ever after.

As I said before I don't like romance that much. But I liked the mythology-element in it. I really liked the characters ( Love and her wildness and Andrew and his selflesness). But it was a lovestory alright. What I liked as well was that it was written for the what older audience, more smut that fluff. And the story also kinda made me sad because there is this one character (no spoilers) who just ends up alone and sad. So it wasn't completely a happy ending.
