Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez – Book 2
Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez Book Cover
Yours Truly is a heartwarming romance that best blends humor, vulnerability, and emotional healing. Abby Jimenez crafts a slow-burn love story between two flawed but lovable doctors — Briana Ortiz and Jacob Maddox — who start as workplace rivals and evolve into something much deeper through a series of funny, tender, and quietly powerful moments.
Briana’s life is in crisis: her marriage is ending, her brother desperately needs a kidney donor, and her shot at a long-awaited promotion seems threatened by the arrival of the awkward, seemingly standoffish Jacob. But just when she’s ready to write him off, Jacob surprises her with a heartfelt letter that sparks an unexpected connection. What follows is a charming exchange of notes, stolen lunch breaks in the hospital “sob closet,” and quirky conversations that include tiny horses.
How Jacob handled the portrayal he suffered and how he overcame his anxiety and fear to let Briana in fully, but also to be there fully for Briana, she walked her emotional journey. Many quotes in this book had me in my feelings, head, and heart…
“Sometimes the best things in life come when you stop expecting them and start letting them in.”
“When I’m with you, the world quiets down — like you’re the one place I can finally breathe.”
“We’re all a little broken, Briana. We are a mosaic. We’re made up of all those we’ve met and all the things we’ve been through. There are parts of us that are colorful and dark and jagged and beautiful. And I love every piece of you. Even the ones you wish didn’t exist.”
“Love me. Just love me instead. I’d take care of you. I’d protect you and shield you and be anything you needed. I’d be harmless to you…”
“I agree to be harmless to you.”
Final Thoughts:
I really enjoyed (and cried) listening to Yours Truly. This book leaned more toward emotional and introspective. Both deliver Jimenez’s signature blend of heart, humor, and romance, making them standout reads in contemporary romance. Yours Truly is a funny, touching, and beautifully crafted romance about second chances, kindness, and finding love when you least expect it. Jimenez’s writing shines with wit and heart, and her characters feel so real you’ll root for them every step of the way. This is a must-read for fans of contemporary romance that mixes humor with emotional depth.
