Review - Yours Truly
AUTHOR: Abby Jimenez
NARRATORS: Kyla Garcia and Zachary Webber
RATING: ★★★★
Summary (from Goodreads): Dr. Briana Ortiz’s life is seriously flatlining. Her divorce is just about finalized, 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.
And 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. But when Jacob decides to give Briana the best gift imaginable—a kidney for her brother—she wonders just how she can resist this quietly sexy new doctor . . . especially when he calls in a favor she can’t refuse.
REVIEW: Yup...just finished another Abby Jimenez book. LOL. What can I say? I really enjoy her work. Yours Truly was kind of different from her other books, but not in a bad way. Normally, her male leads are always gruff and...what's the word...lumberjack-ish? (Not sure how else to describe them). They chop wood, build things with their bare hands, drive a truck...you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, the male lead in Yours Truly, Jacob, wasn't like that. I mean, yes, he was handsome and sexy, but not in the usual way I'm used to in Abby's books. Jacob suffers from crippling anxiety, so he's quiet, introverted, and shy. The female lead, Briana, is totally opposite, so their relationship is very sweet and give-and-take. She draws him out of his comfort zone and he softens her rough edges. Briana has unresolved issues from her childhood and a past failed marriage, that causes a lot of problems and wore on my nerves at times, but they did get their happily ever after. As with all of Abby's books, I recommend it to anyone who loves a good rom-com.
