Synopsis
Lucy Valentine is as smart as can be, as single as you can get, and so not qualified to run a matchmaking service. But when her parents temporarily step down from the family business, Valentine, Inc., it’s Lucy’s turn to step up and help out—in the name of love.
Plus, her rent is due.
Here’s the problem: Lucy doesn’t have the knack for matchmaking. According to family legend, every Valentine has been blessed by Cupid with the ability to read “auras” and pair up perfect couples. But not Lucy. Her skills were zapped away years ago in an electrical surge, and now all she can do is find lost objects. What good is that in the matchmaking world? You’d be surprised. In a city like Boston, everyone’s looking for something. So when Lucy locates a missing wedding ring—on a dead body—she asks the sexy private eye who lives upstairs to help her solve the perfect crime. And who knows? Maybe she’ll find the perfect love while she’s at it…
Review
Truly, Madly was an exceptionally fun novel to read. Psychic matchmaker, Lucy Valentine, is caught in a murder mystery with a super hot guy by her side who actually makes her weak in the knees. Psychic? Fun. Matchmaker? Fun. Super hot guy? Very fun. I loved this book and I love Lucy Valentine. She's spunky and independent, yet loyal and slightly unsure of herself and her abilities. She's a character that's so real, you wish you could hang out with her. The wide cast of interesting characters have all the makings of a potentially fantastic series. I can't rave enough. Truly, Madly is amazing.

Oooo I want to read this. Great review.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a fun read too. Looking forward to the next in the series.
ReplyDeleteI love Lucy Valentine! This was such a fun book to read. It kind of killed me to read it early though because now it seems like that much longer of a wait until the next one comes out.
