Truly Madly Yours

I thought this was a delightful book. Although Delany Shaw was not a conventional heroine (she dresses like a hooker when she is already the subject at everyone's dinner table and her hair, which is naturally blonde, has been dyed to about "five different shades of red")she is independant and strong willed. Nick and Delaney have an unfinished past that is begging for closure! This book was very well written, the characters were fleshed out and there was fantastic dialog. And the humor was great. So many times author's are shooting for humor and miss the mark big time but, Ms. Gibsons was geuinely funny! A great read!

I read this book after I finished with Simply Irresistible and this book is as better as the other. Delaney, coming home to Truly after 10 years, to attend the reading of her step-father's will. She meets again with Nick, her stepfather's illegitimate son whom she has loved over a decade.
I enjoyed every moment reading this book. Nick was sexy! Their encounter in the linen room was hot! The end was worth-it...Imagine a guy cut his hair just to win your heart...wasn't that sweet?

This book was HOT. The chemistry between Nick and Delaney was electrifying! There was so much passion between the two of them, it was a amazing. He was so sexy and strong. He had such a wonderful heart. I loved the fact that he had always loved her; since she was just a girl. The story was fast paced, I couldn't put the book down. I read it in one day. I even found myself laughing out loud quite a few times. This book is a must read, it is a gem.

I liked that Delaney struggled with being independent, even at almost 30, and that her mom never really understood. I found that more realistic than many where they have a blow out and the mom finally "gets it." Otherwise, a sweet, though predictable, love story.

Seriously. My favorite Rachel Gibson book thus far (I've read four of them - three more on the way from the store!).
I love that the story between Delaney and Nick is so believable. The characters aren't overly cheesey, and their dialouge is just right - not too dumbed-down nor overly thought-out. They are basic, everyday people from a wonderfully real fictional small town who have known each other most of their lives and have to work at defining their relationship.
I won't go into the plot, since so many others have, but suffice it to say that it moves very well. So well that I couldn't put it down - I stayed up all night to finish it. And then I started reading it again the next day! (I've read it three times since then, too!).
If you're going to read Rachel Gibson, Truly Madly Yours is a must!!!

I actually bought true confessions in the airport and got so into it that I was sad when it ended. I immediately picked up Truly Madly Yours and fell in love with the book. Man Ms. Gibson is making me want to move to Idaho and find a man. Nick is just too sexy for words. Always loved a guy who dresses in faded levis and tshirts... I am going to buy another of her books tomorrow. I am addicted!.

If you love "prodigal daughter" romance novels, then you'll enjoy this book. Gibson's story has great pacing, a believable plot, and likeable characters. Basic premise? Delaney left town after her parents caught her in a compromising position with the town bad boy, Nick, who just so happens to be her stepfather's illegitimate son. Now she's back for the reading of her stepfather's will, and if she wants her inheritance she needs to stay in town for a year. Of course this throws her together with Nick, and of course attraction ensues.
I sympathized with Delaney. She had a lot of pressure on her to be the perfect daughter, which Gibson conveys quite well. And the relationship between hero and heroine has sufficient sizzle, striking a perfect balance between their adult attraction and their history. Their past creates the perfect amount of present tension. Unfortunately, Gibson chooses to sidestep rather than truly resolve their prior misunderstandings. Despite this oversight, however, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to others.

'Truly Madly Yours' is my second favourite novel from Rachel Gibson (next to 'See Jane Score'). The chemistry between Nick and Delaney is great, and the characters are pretty realistic. I like the way Delaney is independent and holds her own. Nick melted my heart by doing all those things to show that he cared for Delaney (the tires, the crown, the locks). All in all, this novel is just absolutely amazing. I have yet to be disappointed in any one of Rachel Gibson's works.

I have read Rachel Gibson before, so looked forward to this one. I loved the characters and couldn't put the book down until finished. This one I will read again and again, a romance reader's must. Can't wait for author's next.

Earns every one of the possible 5 stars. I missed the characters as soon as I was done with the book and two days later started reading through it all over again, going over my favorite parts which was almost the whole book. A quick and eager page turner. The tension is hot and the characters are amazing. This should absolutely be made into a movie. Someone out there in Hollywood needs to pick this up. Can't believe it hasn't been done yet!! We need to see this come to life on the big screen. Absolutely recommended!!!!

Have been waiting for her new book after enjoying "Simply Irresistible" so much and was not disappointed. She has been added to my list of favourites. Please keep up the good work Ms. Gibson and don't change your style like so many authors seem to. I agree totally with the previous review about being disappointed in some of my favourite authors lately

This is one of my all time favorite romances. Nick is the perfect bad boy hero. The story is well written with good character developement and dialog (a rare find). I still go back and re-read this one. "True Confessions" by Rachel Gibson is also AMAZING!

This was the first Rachel Gibson book I have read, and in my opinion, the best one. While I admit it was the pretty cover that attracted me into buying this book, the content made the book worthwhile to read. It is funny and romantic and both Delaney and Nick are so likeable. This story is cute and sweet, and worth buying! I've already added this book to my permanent collection of books that I like to read over and over!

I loved Nick and Delaney. Both so independent. The scenes were very original and the sexual tension was great. My only wish was that at times Delaney had a little more backbone when Nick was having his fun w/her. I always love a happy ending.

This fun, exciting, small town romance story is one of the best I have read. From the moment I picked it up I felt as though I had known these characters all my life. I went from laughing out loud to grinding my teeth with frustration through this entire book. The story was racy and entertaining...a true romance!

I have read every Rachel Gibson book published and loved them all. That said this is absolutly one of her best. It was a little predictable but the characters were well developed and funny and the plot did have a couple twists. Overall it was a pageturner. Read it!!!

I feel misled by all the positive reviews, and the cover art. The cover design implies a chick-lit style romp. Instead, the book is mirthless, the characters unlikeable, and cliches thrown in about "glinting grey eyes" and "long hard" you-know-what's. Struggled to get to page 80, then just flipped through the rest and gave up.

Oh, and also I found it quite insulting and superficial to keep seeing the word Basque constantly repeated in context as "dark sexy dangerous". It's a culture, not a physical trait for fetishizing.
