This is what Amazon says:
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 propbably going to be a new man-doctor who's already registered eight-friggin-seven on Briana's "pain in my butt" scale. But just when all systems are set to hate, Dr. Jacob Maddox completeyl 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 likeable guy who'se terrible at first impressions. Because suddently 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 - she wonders just how she can resist this quietly sexy new doctor. Especially when he calls in a favor she can't refuse.
This book started off strong and then about half way through I felt it went downhill. I started to notice it about a 1/4 into the book that this wasn't going to be for me, but then it truly took a turn. I am not a big romance genre fan to start with, but I did like another book by this author. But this "miscommunication" trope - I hate it. It is worth of Hallmark Christmas movies and really nothing else. At least not to the level that is in thie book. The dialogue started to get cheesy - especially with the side characters. Jacob's anxiety was either off the charts, or barely noticable to fit moving the story along. I just could not get into it.
