Another great read in this series.
I love the characters and the way the relationship between Lucy and Sean is developed throughout the series. It may have been love at first sight, but it's also based on spending time together, working out their various issues and learning about each other. You'll hope that these two stay together and nothing happens to separate them.
I also enjoy the mysteries as there are always two or three different puzzles to solve and while I figured this one out before Luc...more

My four-sentence or less take on the plot: Lucy Valentine works in her family's matchmaking office even though she doesn't possess the family ability to make matches through seeing auras. Lucy is able to find lost objects, which has led to a business reuniting lost loves. In this book, Lucy and her boyfriend Sean are hired to find a client's teenage love who may be a career criminal while also trying to solve a mystery of a man who disappeared while walking his dog. On top of all the other threa...more

The third installment of this delightful series did NOT disappoint! Between Lucy Valentine's friends, family, clients, Preston....well, let's just say there's plenty of drama to keep Lucy busy.

"The Lone Ranger" is still at it, tossing $20 bills around then disappearing. Then Lucy notices her mum is dressing and acting differently, making her wonder what's going on. Add in a missing man she's asked by her mum and Dovie to find, and a client searching for the boy she loved when she was in the fost...more

The Book 'Absolutely, Positively' by Heather Webber has the perfect title to answer if I enjoyed this book. Yes, I did, absolutely and positively. The book, in fact, surpassed my expectations, which with Ms. Webber as the Author, are high.

Lucy Valentine runs a division of a match-maker company that is co-partnered with a Private Eye company. Why? Because she finds lost loves with the aid of her expanding psychic powers. Which, by the way, I was given hints of throughout the book, making me want...more

Heather Webber's Lucy Valentine series has such heart. This book, Absolutely, Positively is no exception. If you haven't read the first two, Truly, Madly or Deeply, Desperately, you'll want to do that first.

Absolutely, Positively is the third book in the series. The gang's all back. Lucy has a new case that pushes her somewhat outside of her comfort zone – a woman comes into Lost Loves, Inc. wanting Lucy and Sean to reconnect her with her first love, a man whose last known address was the state...more

Who is that masked man? That’s the question on everyone’s mind around Boston Common when a mysterious stranger, dubbed The Lone Ranger, starts throwing twenty-dollar bills around.

That’s the question on everyone’s mind around Boston Common when a mysterious stranger, dubbed The Lone Ranger, starts throwing twenty-dollar bills around. And what, if anything, does he have to do with everything else going on in Lucy’s life? A life that has left Lucy with a lot on her plate these days. She has Meaghan, the new client, who is looking for her foster brother, Tristan, convinced that he is the one true love of her life. Unfortunately it’s been years since she’s seen him and wouldn’t even know what direction to send Lucy in. When she finds out what he’s been up, to will Meaghan still think he’s her knight in shining armor? Next is Mac Gladstone, an old friend of Dovie’s who has gone missing. Mac went out to walk his beloved dog Rufus one day and never came back, even though Rufus did. Anyone who knew Mac knows he would never just leave his dog behind. Was he the victim of foul play or something more heartbreaking? Preston is right there, front and center, as usual. She has done an excellent job of worming her way into the Valentine family. Will they be able to keep their big secret from her, or will she use her journalistic skills to figure out the real reason for the Valentine’s immense success? And just what does the FBI want Lucy to stay out of?????

Since this is all about matchmaking and finding lost loves, let’s not forget about all of the love in the air these days. There is no doubt Lucy loves Sean and wants to spend the rest of her life with him. She knows that he is holding things back from her, and on some level it bothers her (considering he knows ALL of the Valentine’s secrets), but she loves him enough to wait until he’s ready to let her in. Unfortunately she can’t let go of the dreaded Cupid’s Curse; no Valentine has every found true, everlasting love. Can she break the Curse once and for all? Can true love conquer all? Then we’ve got Lucy’s parents. When you find out who they’re dating, well, you’ll just plutz! Raphael is moving in with Maggie – YAY, but who will take care of Lucy’s dad now? Next is Aiden (friendly state trooper) and Em (BFF). Everyone knows they are made for each other, except the two of them. C’mon people, let’s get together now. Finally we have Lucy’s new-found brother Cutter. He’s such the ladies man that he has not one, but two women lusting after him – Marisol and Preston. Which one will he choose?

Seriously, what’s not to love about Lucy and this series? She has psychic abilities, is whimsical, smart, beautiful, and head-over-heels in love with the scrumptious PI, Sean Donahue. This series has the perfect mix of cozy mystery elements – it’s a fun read, stars a woman as an amateur sleuth, her significant other has his hands in law enforcement, it is light on the gore, it focuses on the characters and plot, and is filled with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing page after page. The book can certainly be read as a stand-alone book, but in order to fully understand Lucy and her quirky cast of characters, you should read the first two books in the series, Truly, Madly and Deeply, Desperately. You Absolutely, Positively do not want to miss this book.

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.

I was quite looking forward to Absolutely, Positively and overall, it pretty much met my expectations :) I enjoyed this book a great deal, although it was less fluffy than the others... I think it had to do with the cases - although in previous books, the cases were quite serious as well, so perhaps it's how busy the book is, which as shown in my recap, very :P Still, it was well-balanced, not confusing and kept me hooked as I just want to find out more about everything LOL. Also, I was quite surprised how everything tied in together and I think Ms Webber did a good job :P

While the cases were interesting, varied and kind of suspenseful, the real strength of the Lucy Valentine series is the characters and that holds true in Absolutely, Positively. Lucy is a great heroine and really make this book :) I think it's because readers enjoy being in her head, seeing things from her POV and her thinking process :) She's very genuine, caring and level-headed. Just a balanced character, especially now that she knows where she's going in life. You can throw a lot at her, which her family often does, and she can deal with it. Then, there is this whole cast of quirky characters surrounding her that just makes this book fun :) Everyone of them is unique and adds a different flavor to Lucy's life.While they are funny, they also have this touch of wisdom and with it, they have Lucy's back. I really enjoyed Lucy's parents in this book LOL. The situation is really interesting and I'm looking forward to see how it'll work out in the future :P Sure to give Lucy a few more eye twitches LOL... and the couch scene! LOL. And then, there are Lucy's best friends Marisol and Emma. I like how they are part of Lucy's family, it really feels like they've been childhood friends :) I also like how everyone is supportive of Emma :) With her relationship with Aiden finally taking off, I'm hoping that the focus will switch a little to Marisol in the next few books :)

Another thing that I'm enjoying in this series is the timing of things :) I like that Lucy and Sean's relationship is not rushed, that they're taking their time to get to know each other and build the trust. I like that Sean is patient with Lucy and also understanding and is willing to wait till Lucy is no longer afraid :) That not everything is happening to Lucy at once and she's overwhelmed. So I feel it's good that Lucy has found her footing in life, being able to use her gift but also be part of the family business. At the same time, she's slowly building her confidence and coming into the life that she's always dreamed :) In many series, I'm pretty sure the heroine would have gotten there too fast and panic or not get there yet and be frustrated - all to create issues, conflicts... and sometimes, you don't need them and Ms Webber understands that :)

With all this being said, Absolutely, Positively was not a perfect read and I had a couple of issues with it. While the romance between Lucy and Sean is progressing very nicely, Sean is still somewhat of an unknown entity. There's no doubts about his feelings, but what about Sean himself? We know the current him, but we have very little about his past and what made the man who he is today. Learning that Sam and Sean are "foster" brothers was a great surprise and not just to the readers... So I really hope that the next book will focus on Sean. Another issue I had was with Lucy and the foster kids case. When Lucy learns that the man is a criminal, she decides to "protect" her client by keeping information from both parties... I know this was a dilemma for Lucy, that she had good intentions and was doing it in her client's best interest... but the choice really bothered me, because ultimately, it wasn't her choice to make. It's good to care, but at the same time, I felt Lucy was too quick to judge. Okay, Tristan didn't help matters at all ^_^; Still, I wished she was a bit more open-minded. Finally, I was a bit disappointed that there was no more interaction between Lucy and Cutter. I was really looking forward for it and Cutter was just taken out of the equation with business trip... Of course, this won't go happen in every book as the succession issue has to be resolved... so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the next book :)(less)

Description: (Goodreads) “Exposed” by a Boston Herald reporter, Lucy 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…

From My Point of View: First, I would like to say that this series has the CUTEST covers. Total cover love here. =)

Second, what is up with the book titles? Though I think all the titles in this series are adorable they don't really fit the story inside the book... I'm confused by the naming choices.

All that aside, book three was another winner. I think this story like was my favorite (or maybe second favorite after book), either way, it was better than book 2. I loved the clients in the book! Their stories were so unique and interesting. Webber did a great job with this one.

I was disappointed by Lucy and Sean's relationship though... I feel like Lucy's visions should be coming true already -- or maybe I'm just impatient? No, it can't be! I was dying for them to move in together at the very least, but I didn't even get that. =(

This is a pretty short review, but there isn't much more to say other than Webber continues to do a great job. I love these books!! I know one was just released last month, but I'm ready for more please!(less)

I really like the progression of growth in both Lucy and Sean and love the world that Webber has created at Valentine, Inc. It's funny, quirky and emotional without being over the top unbelievable.

Lucy has two new cases to work on plus her relationship with Sean is front and center. She's not sure if she's ready to take the next step with Sean by suggesting he move in with her. Throughout the book, we see how Lucy goes through the pros and cons of living with Sean. I really liked that Webber didn't have Lucy take this decision lightly but rather worked it out in her head as well as her heart.

The first case of young love reunited was interesting although I wasn't always sure of the woman's motives. For some reason I thought Meaghan might have a more sinister reason for wanting to find Tristan. Looking back, it surprises me how detailed the plot and characters are considering the length of the book. Both Meaghan and Tristan are well developed for secondary characters given how much page time the get. I thought Tristan was even more so and enjoyed him matching wits with Lucy.

The second case of the missing recluse also had it's share of secondary characters, giving insight into what recluse Mac Gladstone's life was like and what might have caused him to disappear. I don't think the outcome was surprising but I did enjoy the journey to it.

Lucy's parents are always interesting to see but this time there is more going on there. I'd say that Lucy's father is my least favorite character, primarily because he comes across as very selfish with the occasional outpouring of love for Lucy. He doesn't come off as much of a father figure for her and that's where I have problems with him. I do however like Lucy's mother and her grandmother Dovie. They both add that eclectic flavor to the series.

Once again, Heather Webber has added an entertaining installment in the Lucy Valentine series. I'm really curious to see where Lucy and Sean's relationship goes and where their next case takes them. And what's with Preston and Cutter? That's one thing that I really appreciate about this series - the endless possibilities of where the author can take me. (less)

That said, I didn't find it as enjoyable as the first two novels. There was something missing, and I didn't find myself chortling along as I read, or with a goofy smile on my face when I finished.

Lucy had a bit of angst going on in this one with her fear about Cupid's Curse. This is a recurring theme since the first novel and, well, I'm pretty tired of it. Every time she brought it up I wished I could reach through the pages and shake some sense into her. Why are you going to waste all this happiness you have now by worrying about when it *might* end?! Sigh.

There were also a number of side-plots happening throughout the story. I've noticed that this occurs in both of Heather Webber's series (Lucy Valentine and Nina Quinn). I like to keep things interesting as much as the next reader, but the story kept jumping from one mystery to another until I was trying to keep characters straight. It never delved deeply into any single mystery, but instead dealt only superficially with many.

And Sean was really pissing me off in this one, as was Lucy's response to some of his actions. Sean always had my vote as a great love interest, but now I'm on the fence. (view spoiler)

That said, I like Lucy and her quirky family. Preston continues to grow on me, too. And I must say I'm relieved that the police are actually on the side of the sleuths in this one. Many cozies rely too heavily on the "sleuth vs. ignorant law enforcement" trope, so it's refreshing to read a book where they're working on the same side. I hope there are future books in the series, because I truly am enjoying the stories. (less)
