The Truest of Words
With the end of term finally behind them, Aubrey and Daniel look forward to building a life together. A painful realization that they can’t truly embrace the future until they’ve come to terms with the past leads them to discover the healing potential of forgiveness and the power of unconditional love.
Like the first two books in the series, The Truest of Words is a romantic tale that blends witty banter with passion and drama.

Kdybych to měla říct na plnou hubu, nedá se to srovnávat s předchozími díly. Nebylo to úplně špatné, ale byl to pro mě průměr. Naopak předchozí dva díly (obzvlášť první) byly něco, od čeho jste se nemohly fyzicky ani psychicky odpoutat. Čtení Vás naprosto pohltilo a Vy jste měli plnou hlavu jen tohoto příběhu. To se bohužel o tomto dílu říci nedá. Bylo to fajn, romantické, pěkné a někdy i trochu vážné, ale nic víc :/

“Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.” ~William Shakespeare
Sailor and Poppet’s story is complete!
By the time I had my hands on The Truest of Words, I was already immensely invested in these beautiful characters and their journey. Georgina Guthrie masterfully placed Aubrey and Daniel’s complicated and tension-filled relationship into words.
Guthrie’s writing is so effortless, that as I made my way through this series, I kept forgetting that these characters and the world they lived in didn’t actually exist. It was so real and raw that it felt authentic as if anyone I knew could’ve gone through it.
Never once did I roll my eyes at the things Daniel said or did. I wasn’t foolish enough to believe he was Prince Charming. I didn’t laugh absurdly at anything Aubrey said or did. Never did she come of as a damsel in distress. They weren’t perfect in the least, yet somehow to me they were perfectly un-perfect. They made mistakes, they had their high’s and low’s, and both had things they needed to overcome.
Aubrey and Daniel have had so many hurdles to jump through and it’s been a great ride to experience along with them. I enjoyed their little quirks and the powerful chemistry they had together. As a reader, I saw them grow as individuals, as friends, and as lovers. This isn’t something that many authors are able to lock down, but Guthrie has done it beautifully.
I loved seeing the way Aubrey and Daniel meshed so well with his family as well. Those moments were some of my favorite scenes. Aubrey integrated her self wonderfully into Daniel’s world, despite feeling initial intimidation. The supporting characters are another fantastic aspect on Guthrie’s part. Somehow she managed to create individual story lines for each of them that grabbed and pulled at our heartstrings, but never took away from the paths of the main characters.
From the first book to the last, the reader experiences cute and sexy romance, real-life struggles, humor, and powerful words that evoke emotions on every point of the spectrum. The key word in all three titles, words, will pop out in each book and leave you with an important message. Words have the ability to carry the weight of the world and just one word can hold so much power.
I recommend this series to readers looking for a romance with depth and passionate characters—passionate about not just each other, but life itself.
I eagerly await what Georgina Guthrie comes out with next!

The Truest of Words is a thoughtful, sweet and at times funny conclusion to the angst that is intrinsic in Aubrey Price and Daniel Grant’s forbidden romance that is Georgina Guthrie's “Words” series. This series has long been on my TBR and I’m so thankful that I was able read the entire series, all three books, back to back, with this final book wrapping up the story in an truly unexpected way.
Told in alternating chapters from both of their perspectives we get a sort of 360 degree view of the couple. As with The Weight of Words and Better Deeds Than Words, much of this story is built around their interactions with friends and family, with Daniel’s family members at the core of the plot. There is a bit of University politics to contend with and both Aubrey and Daniel cleverly out think their foes and help to deliver some much needed justice. The story picks up right where Better Deeds than Words left us with Daniel and Aubrey pushing the boundaries of their student and teachers assistant roles. But in this part of the story, the growth of the trust between them is tested, but only by their own insecurities.
Georgina’s strong suite is undoubtedly her dialogue writing with Daniel’s conversations and jesting with his brothers adding brevity and an easiness to the flow. But its the banter between Aubrey and Daniel, which is smart, flirty and spicy, is what’s most fun. This shows us just how much they have come to like each other, which is a good thing considering that being together is what they have both been waiting for. It is wonderful to see the chemistry between them go from sweet to super sexy after two people have tried so very hard to play by the rules.
Daniel and Aubrey discover that although the path forward in their relationship is almost clear of obstacles, being in a relationship that others can recognize is just a small portion of what they battle. What makes this a thoughtful read is how Daniels’ issues with anxiety and Aubreys’ issues of abandonment are dealt with. I really fell for Daniel in this book and portion of the story and I completely empathized with his anxiety disorder. I love that he took a very brave path that allowed for forgiveness and helps him overcome the state of near perpetual panic that overshadowed his life. This alone endeared him to me and the transformation of their relationship is wrapped up so well in the final chapters and epilogue. This is a series that I highly recommend and I look forward to more stories by GG.

I am so glad that I stumbled upon this series while entering Giveaways on Goodreads. The thought of me never reading Georgina Guthrie's Words series literally makes me upset on what I would've missed out on. After finishing the three books and the novella, I had a serious book hangover. I can't stop thinking about these characters!!! I want to read more about what happens next in their lives. I NEED MORE!
This series had everything; forbidden romance, Shakespeare, and likable h/H. One thing I really enjoyed about this series in comparison to other forbidden student/teacher romance, is that they refrained from a physical relationship until the class was over. I mean don't get me wrong, there was sexy flirtation between the h/H but I think it was real mature of them to wait. Once they were able to be together freely it was well worth the wait and I enjoyed reading about their blossoming relationship. the support and faith that they had in one another was so refreshing! They were both honest about their feelings and there was no judgement passed against them when they would let one another in on their demons.
I really can't say enough great things about Guthrie's work. The books were enjoyable to read and I love the support that the h/H received from family and friends. It was more like them against the world, rather than the the world against them.
I would love nothing more to own a physical copy of this series. This is most definitely a re-read series for me!!

NOTE: Unfortunately due to my hectic schedule, I will be unable to make long and detailed reviews like before. However, I will try to do my very best to at least take the time to write something. Brief yet, nonetheless.

Skvělé zakončení série, ale po tomto díle mám sladko v puse, sladko všude kolem sebe, všechno nějaké přeslazené....
I když drobné nuance zápletek tam jsou, přesto zase řešeno po spořádání tuny čokolády. Ale celou sérii jsem si zamilovala, první dva díly byly pro mě top a very hot, třetí byl sweet :D

It’s nearly a year since I first read The Weight of Words and had the privilege of connecting with its author, Georgina Guthrie. That these books have resonated with me is an understatement. More than words on the page, the Words series came to life in a resounding fashion – Daniel Grant and Aubrey Price are characters that will always inhabit my heart. I loved reading these books and have re-read them and with each time my love for them grows exponentially.
Though I am sad that the series is closing, I was beyond happy to read The Truest of Words. The book itself was a complete joy to read. Perhaps I was viewing it through rose-colored glasses, but it was the proverbial big red bow on the series. We got to see Daniel and Aubrey out in the world as a couple. That transition was by no means smooth, both because of external forces and their own histories. But how they negotiated it felt absolutely genuine to these characters.
We also get to see Daniel and Aubrey at their most intimate. Thought it was incredibly hot, it wasn’t just about the sex for me – it was reading their own thoughts and their own words – and understanding the depth of their feelings for one another. It was in those moments that The Truest of Words literally took my breath away.
Like I said, I am sad this series is finished, but in such a beautifully satisfying way. I loved The Truest of Words with all my heart. I can’t wait to read whatever comes next out of the mind of Georgina Guthrie. But in the meantime, I will continue to enjoy these books.
So on a personal note – connecting with GG has been enlightening. She has generously shared her character casting – Justice Joslin is absolutely and completely not only Daniel Grant, but my every book boyfriend. But also, her taste in music is brilliant. Rosie Thomas’ Since You’ve Been Around is a song that I sometimes play on a loop – much to my husband’s chagrin. But it’s because of her that I have an affinity for Canadian indie music — You have to hear Peter Katz, Emma-Lee (they have a very sassy duet that is included on the newest playlist), Royal Wood and Dallas Green are each a revelation. Thank you GG for sharing these wonderful books and these amazing artists.

Brilliant!
I loved all three books in this series. Georgina Guthrie is an amazing, gifted writer. This final book, The Truest of Words, did not disappoint me. I was wondering how there could be much left to their relationship before there was a happily ever after when I finished Book Two, but the unexpected rifts were there, making for another entertaining story.
Kudos to Ms. Guthrie. I look forward to any of her future work.

Out of the three this was my favorite. It showed how they both matured and are open with each other. Poppet and Sailor are just amazing together. Again, I loved how we saw the relationship grow into an amazing romance of two people destine to be together. Georgina, you have done an amazing job!!

Tenhle díl mi přišel trochu slabší než předchozí, ale stejně to je 5 z 5. Tahle série je jedna z mých nejoblíbenějších romantických knih a moc vám ji doporučuji.

Čekala jsem, že to nějak takhle dopadne, ale jsem za to ráda, Daniel i Aubrey si to zasloužili. Grantovic rodinku jsem si oblíbila a budou mi chybět. Tahle trilogie není žádné veledílo, ale na léto je to příjemná oddechovka, ačkoliv knížky jsou trošku delší a pokud máte rádi klasickou literaturu, tak je to přímo pro vás a prostředí příběhu vás nadchne.

What a luminous read...
This book has been sitting on my TBR-shortlist folder since April 2014. Today, the book finally came out. Yes, I am writing my review of this book on the day of the release because I just FINISHED reading The Truest of Words. I devoured and savored the entire book on its release day! I am NOT ashamed to say I didn't do much but read this book (I had a pretty free day) this entire day.
The Truest of Words is the final book of the Words Series. It picked up right where we left off in Better Deeds than Words. Daniel and Aubrey continue to countdown to graduation, so they could go public with their relationship and move forward in their relationship. And yes, there is a HEA!
How I felt about this book...
Once again, I was blown away by the precision, eloquence, beauty, and sincerity of Georgina Guthrie's words. With a series that's about words GG did a fantastic job giving us books that lived up to its name! I am in awe of her ability to convey Daniel & Aubrey's story. You experience their ups and downs, trials and tribulations, joy and sorrows. I felt them! And that's powerful.
TToW covers it all. There were funny, nervous, witty, heartwarming, sad, joyous, and romantic moments. Aubrey& Daniel continue their witty banter, Patty makes multiple appearances, the whole Grant family as well as Julie & Matt all have great scenes in the book. Family and friendship place a huge part in TToW, as with the previous two books.
Daniel and Aubrey is one of the most memorable couples I have ever read. They have a special place in my heart. They won me over with their intelligence, romantics, flaws, strengths, and most definitely their love for each other. Daniel& Aubrey's love for each other is one that I want! I guess, it's why this story and the people are so REAL to me. Our hero and heroine don't have a "dark" past (per se). They have real issues that stem of real life problems that we can relate to. GG writes in a way that convey that realness so precisely. It speaks to my heart. Their love for each other really leaps out of the page. GG's writing is perfectly balance, so that it wasn't cheesy (NEVER!) or exaggerated!
Love & relationship is a journey and a process. And you see Daniel and Aubrey work through all that have happened to them. They complement each others in times of weakness/flaws, and they shine synergistically when they are together. When I was reading TToW, watching Aubrey and Daniel work through their problems and finding epiphanies, I felt like I was learning from them. Learning what it is to have a successful relationship. It was amazing to witness/read.
The realness is what makes Daniel and Aubrey special. It's what makes GG's writing unique and brilliant. By the time I reached the ending, I experienced this satisfaction I have experienced about a series in a long time. It was this satisfaction that let me know Aubrey and Daniel will be ok, will be happy, will be arguing but also finding resolutions, will be successful. It's a satisfaction that I am content and at peace that this story ended. I would be lying if I say I didn't want more of D&A. I will always want more, but I am happy with how the story ended. And I haven't felt like this about a book or a series in a long time. And this speaks a lot to GG's writing ability to bring this emotion out of me. Bravo!
Overall, it has been incredible to read Sailor & Poppet's story. I am crying as I am writing this review. I am sad that this is over but I am happy to have "known" them. So thank you, GG for writing this magnificent story. I hope I can find a guy like Daniel someday.

4.5 Star Review by Nicole Lorenzo
“I’m desperately in love with you, and I don’t care who knows.”
Aubrey and Daniel are elated to finally be able to carefully pursue their relationship without worrying about their secret getting out. Daniel is no longer Aubrey’s TA. With the term officially over and Aubrey’s graduation around the corner Daniel and Aubrey find themselves being able to breathe a little easier. Still they look forward to the near future when they can walk through campus holding hands, announcing to the world that they are in love. They focus on learning everything they can about each other and planning the future they both desperately yearn for.
“…I realized with blinding clarity that our feelings for one another were deepening with every passing day, despite our imperfections. This was not a case of opposite attracting. This was two people wholeheartedly accepting one another, despite the unique failings that each possessed. Quite simply, this was unconditional love.”
As much as they love each other they still face some bumps in the road. Aubrey’s new boss is a royal bitch, and seems to have a personal agenda against her and Daniel. She brings forth allegations that could threaten the Grant family name once again. Aubrey also has a lot of decisions to make about what to do with her life after graduation. Daniel is eager to help Aubrey, and wants to take care of her in every way he can including financially, but talking Aubrey into it seems to be quite the feat. Aubrey is insistent on maintaining her independence. Daniel on the other hand wants to spend every second of everyday with Aubrey and he will do anything in his power to show Aubrey just how deeply he loves her.
“No woman has made me feel like my love for her is all that matters, and that regardless of what I do or say, her love will be there at the end of it all.”
After graduation Aubrey and Daniel are finally free to shout their love from the rooftops. Together they make plans for their futures as individuals as well as a couple. But there are still some unresolved issues with the past that is sending Daniel into a tailspin. Aubrey is starting to think that Daniel will always have the distress of what happened at Oxford looming over him and holding him back. When Daniel decides to finally face the problem head on it could prove to be disastrous or be just what he needs to finally set him free.
“…your love is my truth; all my love is yours, in return.”
The Truest of Words starts exactly where the second book left off and is a wonderful conclusion to Daniel and Aubrey’s love story. These two have come a long way from the start of their forbidden romance. It proves the point that true love conquers all. As long as they were together, they could overcome any obstacle that stood in their way. I was so looking forward to this book and boy it didn’t disappoint. The sweetness, humor and passion between Daniel and Aubrey, plus add in the man who brought them together in the first place, Shakespeare, truly makes this story one of a kind. There is a lot of growth between Aubrey and Daniel here as both individuals and a couple. There are plenty of both tender and hot moments here as well so get your fans ready and be prepared to swoon big time! Their family and friends really play an integral part in this book and I was happy to read about them and their side stories as well. My favorite character besides the swoon worthy Daniel himself, was his grandmother Patty. She is absolutely hysterical and I enjoyed her feistiness. If you haven’t started this series yet you need to start right away!

The Truest of Words is the third and last of Georgina Guthrie’s The Words Series. The first two books introduced me to Aubrey and Daniel. Their meeting, and coming to terms with their new found (if secret) feelings for each other. In the third book, the couple now take baby steps to make their relationship public, amidst the bumps they encounter along the way.
If there is one thing I love about Guthrie’s books, it is the characters. The Truest of Words brings everybody back and giving them all new stories to develop them further. She also throws in other characters that add that extra spice.
But hands down, Aubrey is my favourite. I love how Guthrie delves more into her background, giving her conflict, making her more realistic, and easy to relate to. Daniel may be cute, but it is Aubrey who stands out for me. Her intelligence, strength and personality amazes me so much. With it, she becomes the anchor that holds her sailor in his times of turbulence.
Daniel, on the other hand, begins to try to get over all the negative things that happened to him the previous years, wanting to find himself again. In the third book, he is at his best. He changes from anxious and unsure to brave and confident in their relationship. I love the humor and intense passion he shares with Aubrey. To me, he is the absolute epitome of playful and sexy. And between the two of them, I’ve always felt that he had the most unfortunate luck. So I am truly glad of how things turned out for him.
Of course, the other characters are there, with Mat, Julie and the Grant Family. They bring out so much of our couple’s characters with their own personalities, you can’t help but love them too. Watch out for Patty! She throws around those words of wisdom like its nobody’s business.
Guthrie’s writing was with the witty dialogue I would expect only from her. The love scenes were great, without being forced. The conflicts made me worry for them both and the plot twists surprised me. I was never a fan of Shakespeare, but Guthrie has given me a new perspective about him. All through out the series, she demonstrated a beautiful understanding of the bard’s works and incorporated his words seamlessly in to the story. Truly, Shakespeare’s words are universal. I hope other non Shakespeare fans would leave the book with a new found appreciation of him as I have.
In the end, I’d like to thank Georgina Guthrie for writing one of my most favourite series of all time, including to two of the most wonderful characters I have ever come across with. It was well worth every stumble and every tear. The Truest of Words is a beautiful ending to Aubrey and Daniel’s story. It a journey from doubt, confusion and secrecy to understanding and acceptance. It is proof that love is at its best when it is expressed in words, showed by deeds and felt truest in the heart.

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.

The Truest of Words was the third and final book in the Words Series. I have enjoyed every book in this series. I would give this book a 4 stars! This series started out with The Weight Of Words and continued with Better Deeds Than Words. This series was a teacher student romance, and it intrigued me from there beginning and I loved how it ended. There is just enough angst and passion that it will keep you going back for more.
In the first book you will see how Daniel and Aubrey meet under the teacher student pretense and how they held back there attraction for one another until one day it exploded. The second book picked up with them trying to hide there relationship.. and also it showed more of Daniel and the medical condition that has tormented him all his life, and also gives you a glimpse into his past and what brought him to teaching here and not where he used too. The Truest of Words is the final book of there journey and you will see how they finally deal with being able to be out in the open with there relationship.. and of course Daniel's past will creep up and slap him in the face once again. Will they finally get there HEA? Or will a twist of tragedy throw there lives into a tailspin they can't come out of?
If you love teacher student romances you will love this series! I would highly recommend them and of course you have to meet Daniel! Thanks Georgina for a great ride with Daniel and Aubrey I am sad to see them go but happy to finally have an ending for them! Get to one clicking Sassy Divas Fans!

The Weight Of Words Trilogy-REVIEW
this is a short review for the three books together.
overall, i liked this series. what i can say won me over right away was the wit of the characters. the banter between them was fascinating, smart and sooo much fun.
the first two books were i little difficult for me because i felt like they were a bit dragging up until the third one which, to me, is when the real story takes off.
what i liked about the fisrt two was that they held out the sex and took the time to actually know each other. they really tried not to break the rules.
the first book was a really well introduction to the story.
the second, was really frustrating for me. the sexual tension was unbereable and, more than once, i found myself yelling at the screen for them to get on with the program already! ARGH! seriously, it was torture.
now the third and final book? yeah, that was HEAVEN. it went smooth like a baby's bottom.
all in all, it was a great reading -the three of them- and they were well written; though i have to admit that there were times i skipped some parts that didnt catch my attention.
i have to congratulate the author here for not taking the easy path and fall for cliches. seriously, throughout this whole story, there were countless times for her to make it simple; i kept waiting for her to do it every time Cara, Sabrina, Nicola or Aubry's period were in the picture. but no. Georgina didnt take those exits. she put her own twist on it and it was great; sooo refreshing. that deserves a toast. so cheers! ;)

The Truest of Words, The last installment of "The Words" Series, pick us up where BDtW left us, After Aubrey and Daniel, romantic weekend getaway..which you can say it was a success in every sense of the word. Start the day after they returned to their reality, they cannot be together in the clear, to the world to see them as a couple..would they meet and surpass all the challenges their relationship will bring, now the semester is over? Read Read Read.
if you are acquainted with georgina's writing, you will not be disappointed in the slightest, she will give you her magic combo, her lovable characters, her very well versed writing, more witty banter and yes, more smhexy times..need to say more?
You will laugh, sigh, swoon, cry, and repeat the actions all over again 'till you're done.
in the previous 2 books, we thought we knew Aubrey and Daniel, but is with "The Truest of Words" we really get to know them in depth, we get to see them react to stressful situations, and grow in the process. They become each others rock and support, building a stronger cement to found their relationship.
I don't know whats next in Georgina's repertoire, but whatever it is, i can't wait to see it, i know is a bit soon, she just gave us this book, but i will be here waiting for her work and support her relentlessly.
I'm more than content, more than pleased, with how things ended for Aubrey and Daniel, their story left me in cloud 9.

4 STARS
What a great conclusion for Aubrey and Daniel. In The Truest of Words the couple faced problems that threatened their relationship and they handled them together well. I loved how they worked through things instead of jumping to conclusion and making stupid decisions. They made sure not to misunderstand each other and when they did they worked through it.
I think it's the fact that the first stage of their relationship was all about getting to know each other - the verbal communication instead of physical. So when they were faced with some situations they talked about. And of course the physical came in later during the make up.
I loved the progression of everything. How Daniel and Jeremy faced their past. I really love Jeremy, he is such a great guy. Doesn't hold grudges and just wants to put things to rest and that was a great influence on Daniel.
Daniel and Aubrey were definitely at their strongest in this book. I truly saw their connection, their love for each other. It took some time for them to truly reveal their relationship in public but it wasn't really about showing everyone they were a couple. It was more about finally being able to act like themselves everywhere without restriction. Being able to simply hold hands and claim each other.
I really did enjoy the series. And it's upsetting having to say bye to these characters.

It's been a long time since I found a book so enticing, so thrilling that I stayed up WAY too late reading it, and I was pleasantly and delightfully surprised by the fervor with which "The Truest of Words" pulled me in and kept me reading until the crack of dawn. Aubrey and Daniel's love for one another is beautiful and miraculous to behold; they care and support one another, relying on each other as reservoirs of strength and encouragement whilst at the same time each one encouraging the other to grow beyond their comfort zones and explore all that life has to offer. Even after all the secrecy and hiding and dealing with the villainous fiends who try to drag them down and tear them asunder, they not only stay together, but they grow and learn as people and as a couple. I was happy to see some of the conflicts from the previous books resolved, and I was practically squealing with joy when I finally reached the ending (which probably made for an interesting viewing experience for the people who saw me reading). I'm a little bit sad to leave Aubrey and Daniel behind, only because I have so enjoyed reading their story, but I'm also happy to see the direction they are headed and I happily await any future writing that comes forth from Georgina Guthrie.

Well this was perfect.
Just...perfect.
It was everything the last book that needed to be, everything. Both Aubrey and Daniel went through things, separately that made them face the last of their issues so they could be stronger, and while they were both in different journeys they also had this amazing shared story of really slipping into their relationship. It was just...amazing.
I honestly have nothing constructive to say about this book, not one thing I want to complain about. It was just...awesome. I really enjoyed it.
Also Daniel is officially my book boyfriend...more than Jamie and Gabriel. I mean, he reads poetry in bed and spends months planning a proposal and licks scotch off her body and is just the right combination of porny and sweet and I want one.
But really, loved it.
Will desperately miss reading the stories of Aubrey, Daniel and all their family and friends.

GG has never disappointed me with the Words series even from the beginning. From the moment I finished the first book, I knew this series would be one of those few that I will forever treasure. And now with the TTOW, I couldn't ask for a better ending to Daniel and Aubrey's story. The book was longer than the first two but who's complaining? I loved every page of it. It was simply amazing---from how GG wrote it, to their witty conversations, the emotions, the characters (take note of Patty's awesomeness!) and those Shakespearean quotes! Aahhhh, my fangirl feels over GG and D&A! GG made D&A's fictional character very real, especially their relationship. I kind of wish I'll have one, eventually.

Beautiful, just beautiful! Clever and sexy, the story has a good balance of high and low points, making for an honest love story.
The secondary characters were well-developed, all fitting together to make Daniel and Aubrey's story rich and layered. From Daniel's parents and brothers to Aubrey's friends that are family, each played their role and added so much to their story.
The theme of forgiveness is throughout the story, adding another interesting aspect to Daniel and Aubrey's story.
Ultimately Guthrie brought us a masterful tale of love against the odds, maturity and finding your place in the world. Wrapped up in witty banter, the Bard's words and love- which truly makes the world go round.

What a beautiful love story. This is good old fashioned romance at it's best. Aubrey and Daniel (Poppet and Sailor as they are effectionately known) will capture your heart with their story. There are many *big sigh* moments during 'The Truest of Words' as Daniel continues to be such a 'swoonworthy' book boyfriend - total sweetheart! The story also sees both Aubrey and Daniel experience personal growth that tells a wonderful story of mercy and compassion. I was sorry to reach the end and I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a light-hearted, good old fashioned romance story.

The Truest of Words by Georgina Guthrie will warm your heart and satisfy your desire for romance. I have loved following Aubrey and Daniel’s journey from first sight to happily ever after. Their connection is playful with a heavy undertone of passion and sexual tension. The exchanges between our hero and heroine always made me smile and further invest myself in their story. From start to finish I was immersed in their world and enjoyed every twist and triumph. If you haven’t discovered Georgina Guthrie’s Words Series, I highly recommend you become acquainted.
