    About this ebook

    "Exposed" by a Boston Herald reporter, Lucy Valentine is suddenly the talk of the town. Long back-story short: Even though the rest of her Valentine ancestors were blessed by Cupid with psychic abilities, Lucy's only special power lies in her ability to find things. This skill has proven quite a blessing for those who come to her matchmaking agency in search of finding their long-lost loves. Now that Lucy's secret is out, she has more new clients than she knows what to do with. But soon a certain man of mystery steals Lucy's spotlight…
    No, it's not Sean Donahue, the sexy fireman-turned-private-eye who's stolen Lucy's heart. It's a masked man in a cowboy hat, dubbed "The Lone Ranger," who's been throwing handfuls of cash across the Common. Now all of Beantown's abuzz. Can Lucy unmask the mysterious money man, track down all her clients' old flames, and turn up the heat on her love life? Absolutely, positively…

      The Little BookwormLucy Valentine has a lot of worries between her boyfriend's bad heart, her own fear of commitment, and her job finding lost loves. Soon she is mixed up in a mystery involving a lost love with a criminal career and a missing neighbor. Oh and a mysterious stranger literally throwing money around on the street.There were 2 major mysteries and 1 minor going on in this book and, in the end, I had a bit of a Nancy Drew flashback because at least 2 out of 3 intersected in the end. It's alright though. I enjoy this little mysteries and it's fun seeing how Lucy can use her psychic finding objects abilities to find the answers. There are some funny moments and I love Lucy and Sean together. I'm glad these books didn't take too long for them to get together. Sometimes I get tired of series taking forever to get the main characters together. It's nice to see the characters moving forward and seeing some character growth. Often, with cozy mysteries, everything is often left exactly the same. And, with the introduction of new psychic healer character, I think that things are going to get even more interesting for Lucy Valentine.
    • 5/5
      This book, and this series for that matter, are exactly what they seem. Short and sweet mystery novels. I adore these books, they have just the right balance of mystery, romance, and whimsy. I do believe this book delves a bit deeper into the main characters Lucy and Sean, both into them apart and as a couple.

      I think the plot in this book was expertly weaved, even if I predicted the ending in the opening scene, it was still an excellent journey to take. I think that Ms. Webber should continue writing these books, I will continue to read and adore them.

      Sorry this review isn't longer, like the book wanted to keep it short and sweet.

      Love love love this series! And this book was an excellent addition. I really appreciate how the author continues character development without it feeling like something 'thrown in' out of the blue. I really can't wait for the next one.
    • 4/5
      Good story, I kinda had the Lone Ranger figured out about halfway through the book, but it was still a good way to incorporate him into the storyline.
    • 4/5
      Just as fun as the others - I want to own this one as well. Two intertwining cases - a missing man and a lost love who happens to be wanted by the FBI - lead to some interesting shenanigans and quite a bit of character development. Lucy's still hanging fire, though they're a lot closer; several of her friends and family have also advanced in their romantic quests. And Lucy may have found someone to help her get a better handle on her abilities. There's certainly room for a sequel - or two, or three - and I'd read them. Interesting plots, excellent characters, and both humor and sorrow - plus various forms of tension - throughout.
    • 3/5
      This is the third book in the Lucy Valentine series. I love the covers for the series and the titles. Lucy is still going back and forth between her heart and her mind. The Valentines are cursed in love. She's a romantic who thinks she's found "The One" in Sean but she lets her belief in the curse hold her back. Her grandmother and mother are getting a little cranky while waiting for a new baby to join the family.Absolutely, Positively doesn't have the magic of Truly, Deeply but was still a worthwhile read. The series seems to be back on track. Lucy is moving towards a major life decision and may get there in the next book or two.If you're a writer who wants to see how threads of plots and subplots come together, this is a nice read to see how it's done.
    • 5/5
      really enjoy my time when I get to read what Lucy Valentine is up to in each book. She's sweet, feisty, funny and really wants to enjoy her life and love with Sean and figure out how to deal with her nutty parents who are up to. And who is this Lone Ranger throwing money in the air to the happy masses? Next book, I hope Heather tells more of the story of Lucy's best friends in the whole world, Em and Marisol. I love their friendship and how they get along and I want to see everyone happy. Five feisty funny sweet beans.....
    • 5/5
      Lucy Valentine's latest adventure includes a missing artist and his dog, a lonely heart looking for her lost love whose last address was a prison,an old rock star, and of course family, friends and love. These books are just so entertaining. And after reading all three of them, I still can't quite put my finger on why. I think it may just be a perfect mix of romance and mystery. There is so much love in the books. Not just romantic, but love of friends and family. Oh, and some of the best pets I have ever read about.
    • 4/5
      The first two books in this series were wonderful and I'm happy to say that absolutely, positively is the same. Lucy retains her faith in love even in the face of impossible odds. Well, love for everyone except herself that is. Despite having a nearly perfect boyfriend, Lucy can't let go of her fear of Cupid's Curse. I think Lucy has grown in her relationship though and she can at least be happy in most of the moments even when she fears the future. Lucy has also grown as an investigator after working with both Sean and the local police. She still stumbles on to clues in unexpected ways at times and doesn't always know what things mean when she sees them but I think she has a better sense of what is important and when to take the investigation further than she did in the first book. To me it is really important to see that kind of growth in a character.The secondary characters continue to add a lot of color to the book too. Lucy's best friends are fun and her family is a complicated riot. They add just the right amount of stress and humor to Lucy's life.The story lines are easy to follow and weave in and out of each other with ease. I like how they sometimes seem to connect but then pull away only to reconnect again later. We have all the clues we need, it is just getting them all to fit together in the right puzzle.
    • 4/5
      Lucy Valentine's much awaited return is here! She has come to grips with her psychic twist on the family's true ability and works with both families and police about missing people and objects. Webber writes such refreshing dialogue and situations, that the book is a breeze to read. The addition of the Lone Ranger, who is literally throwing money around Boston, adds a bit more mystery to Lucy's regular cases, like finding an elderly gentleman after his dog returns home without him.
    • 5/5
      I certainly hope that we will see more of Lucy Valentine in the future. I will miss her until the next book come out. Which might be awhile since this was just released!
