[Cocktails and Books]

For those that may not have read this series, THE TRUEST OF WORDS is the conclusion to the story of Daniel, TA and Aubrey, a senior student in the college course he is assisting. Daniel and Aubrey rub each other the wrong way when they meet, but neither of them can deny their attraction to the other. They fight what they feel and when they realize they can't, the vow to wait until the end of Aubrey's last term for their relationship to move forward. That proves easier said than done, but finally, with TTOW, they are free to be like any other couple.

Given how their relationship started, the secrecy and sneaking around, it's understandable Aubrey and Daniel have a hard to time adjusting. And even now that their relationship is out in the open, it seems like everyone is still out to get them. But one thing I love about this couple is their ability to talk. Both of them are wordy people (case in point: they quote Shakespeare to one another to prove a point) and it's their ability to talk through their feelings and issues that I love about these characters. They love each other, there is no doubt about that. And now that they are able to move forward with the physical aspect of their relationship, they convey that love physically quite often. But it's those important moments, when they talk and let it all come out that I get all gooey with these characters.
It's their ability to use their words that helps them come to gripes with Daniel's past and help him let go of everything that has been taunting him since he left Oxford. I won't spoil that here for those that haven't read the first two books, but again, talking to each other and Daniel talking to the one person who threw his world into chaos helped him move on and become a version of the Daniel that he was before...except with Aubrey by his side.

A beautiful, beautiful ending to Daniel and Aubrey's love story. Georgina Guthrie has left me in a complete book hangover and I think it's going to be a long time before I find another book and series that was as perfect (in my opinion) as this one was.
