From Australian Romance Author Emily Foxx comes her new standalone, a friends-to-lovers romance with a compassionate heroine and a damaged but lovable hero.
Doctor Bradley Stephens
Evelyn is a childhood friend. When I moved away from Bluebeach Bay, she would write letters to me, to remind me I was brave.
Never did I think she would make another impression on me when I moved back to my childhood home to start a doctor’s practice.
She reaches a part of me I have closed off to women.
My heart.
Dark memories from my past make sure of that.
Evelyn Cassano
When Bradley meets me for coffee, we reconnect. It’s like old times.
When I finally let him know how I feel, I realize he feels the same way.
However, the more time I spend with him, I learn his past is in his present.
It causes trouble because he won’t open up to me when I am the only person who truly understands him.
An emotionally driven and passionate, friends-to-lovers story, with a twist of drama and suspense.
Mature audiences only.
Some dark themes.

- Emily Foxx is a new author to me and surprises me I have read no other books from this author. I enjoy friends to lovers stories and this was well written, and I quickly became invested in Dr. Bradley Stephens and Evelyn Cassano's story set in Bluebeach Bay. Please take note of the trigger warnings, as some subjects covered may be a trigger to some. You have been warned. When Stephen returns to Bluebeach Bay he re connects with Evelyn, an old friend. It feels like they were never apart but Stephen has baggage and it quickly becomes clear that it is colouring his present. Can Evelyn help him come to terms with the past and in doing so create a future together? There were times where my heart broke for this couple. Affectionately Yours was an emotional love story that drew me in. The addition of the suspense element was a bonus. 4 Star Review Affectionately Yours by Emily Foxx - Goodreads.

- This is the first book I have read by Emily Foxx but it won't be the last because I really enjoyed this friends to lovers romance set in the small town of Bluebeach Bay. In saying this I also think I should point out the trigger warnings for this story as some subjects that are covered may be a trigger for some readers.

From the moment they meet up the friendship picks up where it left off but Brad has issues from his past that makes his future very difficult. So can Evie help him move on or will his past ruin their future.......
This is an emotional yet entertaining read, it's well written with characters you can't help loving and once you add in the suspense element you get a great read. 4 stars Goodreads review. - This is Bradley and Evelyn's story.
These two were childhood friends, and Bradley has returned to his hometown to open his own doctor's practice, and when he reconnects with Evelyn it felt like they had never been apart. Bradley is weighed down by baggage, which is affecting his present life, but will he reveal all to Evelyn?
This is a well written story which is an action packed, emotional roller coaster, with friends / lovers, drama, angst, heartbreak, engaging and realistic characters, suspense, intrigue, passion, and love, which leads to an entertaining, tragic, haunting, twisted, and unpredictable, small town romance.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend. 5 stars Goodreads review. - Evelyn and Brad were childhood friends who were torn apart after a family tragedy hit Brad's family in the death of his mother.
Years later, they meet back up after sending each other letters and becoming great friends.

This book is not for the faint of heart.
There is talk of several triggering issues, so take note of them.
I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from Emily in the future! 4 stars Goodreads review. - Evelyn and Brad have lived a lifetime of angst.
