Goodreads rating: 4.33
My rating: 3.75
Setting: contemporary Minnesota or Wisconsin or somewhere like that

My comments: Very likeable main characters, both doctors who don't seem to have to work very much, Jacob who has extreme anxiety, Briana who is newly divorced and very distrustful of men, which carries over to the big misunderstanding/miscommunication climax that happens in every one of these romance novels.  It was this part that lowered by rating.  Lots of complex issues in this story, and most of it was quite delightful to read.  There was one short, steamy moment, but other than that this was pretty clean.

Goodreads synopsis:  Dr. Briana Ortiz's life is going downhill. Her divorce is about to be made official, her brother is running out of time to get a liver donor and that promotion she wanted so much is almost certainly going to that new doctor she can no longer stand. However, just when all systems are programmed for hate, Jacob Maddox flips the scoreboard by sending Briana a card. One that proves that Jacob, in fact, is not the Antichrist.

Bri and Jacob continue to write to each other... And so, he decides to give Briana the best gift imaginable, and she can't help but wonder how she's going to resist this quiet and attractive newcomer... especially when he asks you for a favor you can't refuse.
