Truly, Madly by Heather Webber — A Review

January 17, 2010

Rating: ★★★★☆

As some of you know, I came down with a bad cold the day after Christmas. During that time, all I wanted was warm soup, cough drops, a box of really soft tissues, and a good book to read. I needed a light-hearted read to distract me from my misery and to keep me entertained. Truly Madly did just that.

After her father is caught having an affair, Lucy Valentine’s parents leave Lucy to run the family matchmaking business while they seclude themselves away from the media. But Lucy is nervous to run the business on her own because she does not have the same talent or gift that most of the other Valentines possess—the ability to see auras. It is because of this ability that the Valentines have been so successful matching couples with similar auras.

Lucy has a different ability. She can find items that people have lost just by touching their hand. When she tries to use her unique ability to match couples, it leads her through all sorts of scrapes and unintended consequences, including finding a match for herself.

Truly, Madly is full of likable characters, romance, and a touch of the supernatural. I highly recommend it to readers who like mysteries, romance, and to those who are looking for a light, fun read.

I can’t wait to read the next Lucy Valentine novel coming out in August 2010 titled Deeply, Desperately!

Hi Sharla,

Just wanted to say I’m very glad Truly, Madly helped take you away from it all for a little while. Thank you for the wonderful review!

Hi Sharla.

Happy New Year to you! I trust you are having an enjoyable day. My name is Todd Stepp and I work for BooksChristian.com, here in Franklin, TN. We are a Christian owned & operated company that sells over 200,000 Christian products.

I have visited winterwrite.com and have noticed that you post book reviews on your blog. I wanted to see if you would be interested in partnering with us, enabling visitors to your blog to purchase books that you review, as well as other books that you may suggest to them (books of the day etc.). In return we would pay you 9% on every sale made. There is very little work that would need to be done on your end, as we provide all the tools to create links and codes that you can post on your blog.

I would love to discuss this further with you at your earliest convenience. I look forward to hearing from you!

This sounds good! I’m adding it to my pile. BTW, are you still interested in starting a book club? I’d still love to.

Hi Lyn!

Yes. I’m still interested! I’ll send you an email.
