.........................
Dr Briana Ortiz's life is seriously flatlining. Her divorce is just about finalised, her brother's running out of time to find a kidney donor, and that promotion she wants . . . ? Oh, that's probably going to the new man-doctor who's already registering eighty-friggin'-seven on Briana's 'pain in my ass' scale.
But just when all systems are set to hate, Dr Jacob Maddox completely flips the game . . . by sending Briana a letter. It's a really good letter. Like the kind that proves that Jacob isn't actually Satan. Worse, he might be this fantastically funny and subversively likeable guy who's terrible at first impressions. Because suddenly he and Bri are exchanging letters, sharing lunch dates in her 'sob closet' and discussing the merits of freakishly tiny horses.
When Jacob turns out to be the perfect donor for her brother, Bri starts to realise that this quietly sexy new doctor might just be her perfect match, too.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Jimenez (Part of Your World) charms with this poignant and often hilarious romance between ER doctors. Briana Ortiz is initially suspicious that new hire Jacob Maddox is out to steal her promotion, but Jacob surprises her by taking himself out of the running. Both are recovering from messy breakups—Jacob with an ex who is now engaged to his brother, Briana with a husband who gaslighted her while carrying on a yearslong affair—and as they grow closer through letters, they help each other recover. However, the idea of faking a relationship to convince Jacob's family that he's moved on could upend their fragile dynamic. Indeed, the ensuing series of communication issues will leave readers wanting to shake some sense into Jimenez's leads. Still, Jacob is a dream boyfriend (down to his willingness to donate a kidney for Briana's brother), and the romantic angst rings true in light of the characters' traumatic past relationships. The laugh-out-loud scenes—including Briana's tale of glitter-bomb revenge and the introduction of a foul-mouthed parrot—are the real highlight. Add in sparkling prose, skillful plotting, and a sensitive approach to Jacob's clinical anxiety, and the result is contemporary romance gold.
Customer Reviews
Stepped up!
I’ve read all Abby’s books so far. With a family of nine, it takes me about three weeks to read a book…I couldn’t put this down and read it in FOUR days!
I was gripped from the start and deprived myself of sleep for the love of not being able to put it down.
Epic love story, beautifully written and I can’t wait for the next one! Getting better and better.
I’ll miss Briana and Jacob so much!
Not as good as I expected
The fmc seemed to over react a lot and it seemed like I was reading a book of two teenagers rather than adults who are actually 30-40 years old. Main theme in this book is miscommunication but the stupidest kind. Just don’t think it was executed well. However, I did love the characters especially the mmc Jacob. All the characters are thought of and aren’t forgotten. I think it had a great plot just could have done better, I almost dnf it. Though I would still recommend people try it out since everyone likes different stuff, you may love this book. It is definitely funny and I laughed out loud many time. There is a great portrayal of anxiety for Jacob which I can related for and the fmc accommodates that really Well. Good chemistry between the two and lots of banter.
