About the book:Lucy hails from a long line of matchmakers known as Valentine, Inc. According to family legend, the Valentines have been blessed by Cupid with the psychic ability to help couples find true love. Trouble is, Lucy's powers were zapped away by 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 big city like Boston, love is a mystery--and Lucy's upstairs neighbor, Sean Donahue, is a hot private eye whose job is murder. With a little luck, she can help solve the perfect crime and find her own perfect match--with Sean.drey's thoughts:
Filled with romance, a little mystery, and a whole lot of fun, Truly, Madly is the perfect gift for readers looking for something truly special.
Truly, Madly was a LibraryThing win, and I was going to hold off on reading it until it got closer to February. But I was in the mood for something light, and picked this one up. And it fit the bill perfectly! Lucy is adorable, her parents are kooky, and Sean is yummy. Add in a meddling (but loving!) grandmother, a suspicious client, a diamond on a skeleton's finger, a lost boy, and detectives from two different precincts trying to figure out how Lucy does what she does, and you have an entertaining mix on your hands.
The pace moves along at a pretty nice clip, and before you know it, it's time to get out of that comfy reading chair to put the book down. There are laughs and snickers along the way, and everything eventually falls into place. What else would you expect? It's a romance novel!
