Review: Truly, Madly by Heather Webber
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 engagement ring—on a dead body—she asks the sexy private eye who works upstairs to help her solve the perfect crime. And who knows? Maybe she’ll find the perfect love while she’s at it…
I won this ARC on Librarything in December and finally got the time to sit down and read it. I was not sure what to expect, but I was genuinely surprised at how much I enjoyed this read. It has a little mystery, a little suspense, some yummy romance and an interesting plot twist.
Lucy can visualize lost objects by shaking the hand of the person who lost it. When she is running her father’s match making business while he is on a temporary leave of absence, she shakes a clients hand and see’s a wedding ring. Not such a big deal, except this ring is on a skeleton, buried in a park. I don’t want to give much away, but I will say that if you are looking for a quick, fun read. Maybe something with a little romance to read around Valentine’s Day, then give Truly, Madly a try. It will be released February 2nd.
Truly, Madly is the first in a series about Lucy Valentine. The second book, Deeply, Desperately is due out this August. I look forward to reading more in the Lucy Valentine Series.
