Product Description
From Amazon
Small-town life is everything that Delaney fears it to be: high school rivalries and old rumors about Delaney and Nick resurrect themselves with predictable immediacy. Gossip nears the truth as the sexual sparks fly between Nick and Delaney. Nick's reputation as a ladies man hasn't changed, either, and Delaney reminds herself that he can love her and leave her just as brutally as he did 10 years ago. But when the two find themselves in close proximity, all their best intentions fly out the window and intense passion consumes them.
Truly Madly Yours has the same originality and sauciness that made Rachel Gibson's first work, Simply Irresistible, popular with readers. While each page brings a new take on the familiar "black sheep, old flame" plot, the main characters are at times a bit unappealing. Delaney's unqualified disgust for Truly becomes a tired mantra and no amount of biker jackets and muttered "wild things" can neutralize Nick's anachronistic womanizing. Gibson wisely focuses her attention on clever dialogue and original situations, and the overall result is a delightful and completely entertaining read. --Nancy R.E. O'Brien

A Great Romp.,
By Bertha U. Perry (New Castle, Delaware) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Truly Madly Yours (Mass Market Paperback)
It didn't take me long to get through this one. The chemistry between Delaney & Nick was pure sizzle! There were small twists & turns throughout. The story made me yearn for a Nick who would give me tiaras for Christmas. I look forward to checking out more by this author.

Heroine comes home after long years away,
By Katie (the Pacific Northwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Truly Madly Yours (Mass Market Paperback)
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.

No fuzzy wuzzy feeling Here!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Truly Madly Yours (Mass Market Paperback)
(...)I did not enjoy this book at all. The characters are people that I would seek to avoid had I known them. Delaney is portrayed as small-minded, trashy, (...) and evil spirited. Nick is portrayed a little better. Throughout the entire book, all they did was trash each other. The intimate scenes seemed like they were randomly thrown in, and then immediately - they were back to trashing each other. There seemed to be no buildup of respect or understanding. This book left me feeling unsettled and uneasy and left me wondering how could anyone REALLY enjoy reading this. Maybe my standards are too high. (...)
