5/5 stars
ER doctor Brianna Ortiz has had it up to here with men. She just finalized a divorce from her cheating husband and the new guy at work is nicknamed Dr. Death for losing seven patients on his first day. With a brother who desperately needs a kidney transplant, Bri has enough to worry about without work drama on top of it. Then she gets the sweetest letter from Dr. Death—er, Dr. Jacob Maddox—himself, and suddenly everything becomes clearer.
Bri does the only thing she can think of. She writes him back. And he writes her. And soon Jacob’s little notes are the highlight of her day. Both are shocked when Jacob is a donor match for her brother’s transplant. Willing to do anything to express her gratitude for his sacrifice, she agrees to go as Jacob’s date to his brother’s wedding. They’re not dating for real, of course. But Jacob’s boisterous family doesn’t know that. And when they get the wrong impression, there’s nothing to do but go along with the charade…
I was worried this hyped author might disappoint, but I'm just gonna add to the hype!! This book's got all of my favorite tropes- fake dating, second chances, and Grumpy X Sunshine vibes.
The characters are lovely and I took to them quickly, curling up with this cozy romance. I love how Bri and Jacob are seemingly opposites, and their effect on each other is just too cute. Perfect MC pair if you ever saw one. The layers to their past add so much to the story and of course, their chemistry!
Yup, this book is on the longer side, and I was surprised by the twist when I thought we were just wrapping up. I wouldn't recommend this for a new reader, but it's a good warm-up if you're back to reading after a break. Not what you would call breezy, but not traumatizing either.
In conclusion? Grab this book for some great writing, a few laughs, and a lot of emotion!
