Review Copy

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!
