Truly, Madly, Deeply
by Alexandria Bellefleur
OMG, what a sweet story!
Truly Livingston (St. James) is an expert on happily-ever-afters going through a life crisis on her own happily-ever-afters.
Colin McCory is a family (divorce) lawyer who is cynical, snarky, and extremely hot. When they meet on his sister's podcast worlds collide and crash in spectacular flames. Flames that are fanned both by their difference in opinion and their insta-attraction to each other.
She is ready to never speak to him again, but when he tracks her down to apologize a friendship of sorts forms as Truly discovers how great a guy Colin is and how much they have in common. But can she let herself love?
I really loved this novel, I enjoyed their banter, and the spice, WOW! But I loved how both characters are both self-aware and awkwardly unaware. How they are not perfect and perfect all at the same time, and how reasonably communicative they are.
Honestly, it's a 4.5-star read for me, but Goodreads only does full-stars.
So why not a five if it was so good? We get a lot of backstory and details on Truly's life and work, but for a lawyer, small town or not, Colin has a lot of free time and doesn't seem to dress the part very much. Not that I'm not cool with what he wears and his ability to chill. But as someone who worked in the legal world, I know how much time that takes away from their personal life and how decidedly not casual lawyers typically are and I feel that Bellefleur did Colin a disserve by not at least explaining why Colin is different of give some idea to is work life.
