Far out this was a slow burn but I absolutely loved it!

📚 anxiety representation
📚 workplace romance (Dr’s)
📚 romantic letters
📚 fake relationship
📚 adorable dog
📚one bed trope
📚 dual POV

I just fell in love with this book and Dr Maddox. I didn’t think it would be possible to love this as much as the first book in this series (Part Of Your World), but I happily stand corrected.

|Synopsis|
Dr Jacob has moved to a new hospital to avoid his ex, who is now engaged to his wife. Off to a bad start he begins a friendship with Brianna. And to appease his family, pretends to be in a fake relationship with her in order to y his family. 

“The women I loved had moved on. She was marrying someone else. And the someone else was my brother.”

“I guess I just had to decide what scared me the most. Showing up to this wedding alone, or making Briana Ortiz an indigent proposal”

|Thoughts|
Had me hooked from the beginning and it just got better from there. Brianna and Jacob are just a sweet together. I was hivhlighting ever other page with sweet moments that just make me think “awww”. 

Did not want this book to end. 

Love the letters that they wrote to each other. Love letters done right!

“First of all, if you think for one second that I can be flipped with cupcakes and handwritten apology letters, then you are absolutely correct”

Also, liked how Jacob’s social anxiety was addressed and I can definitely relate to some of his struggles/ preferences

“I will however accept your invitation to be invited and never come. That sounds like an excellent time”

New rule…all romance books should have a dog!

“Lieutenant Adam was a three-legged two year old Bernese mountain dog”

This romance will just make you feel giddy. He’s such a cinnamon roll. 

“Jacob wasn’t like that. He was a hero, but he was the kind that never let anyone know”

The magic of Wakan and all leading to the one bed trope which was perfect. 

“Of course. We’re sharing a tiny bed, and there’s going to be a romantic fire. Perfect.”

Do really wish the miscommunication trope would die. There is some legitimate reasoning behind it in this instance, but still…I could do without it. 

Still a 5⭐️ read for me. 

“And that was the moment. The first time my brain consciously reviewed what my heart had been telling me for the last few weeks. I wasn’t falling in love with her. I always was”

“And while she was cradled in my arms, she muttered something about teleporting”

Super sweet throw back to earlier in the book

And the ending (his journal). Just everything this booked touched on was just too sweet.
