He'll have a shot at helping your love life (4)

I believe the answer is:

eros

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'love life' is the definition.
'eros' can be an answer for 'love' (Greek god of love). I am not sure about the 'life' bit.

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eros that I've seen before include "Greek equivalent to Roman Cupid" , "God of love; life instinct (Freud)" , "Piccadilly 14 ac statue" , "Form of love" , "Greek god of love - see statue in Piccadilly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
