Publisher Description
Opposites attract in this magical, delightful contemporary romance from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Say You'll Remember Me.
After a wild bet, gourmet grilled-cheese sandwich, and cuddle with a baby goat, Alexis Montgomery has had her world turned upside down. The cause: Daniel Grant, a ridiculously hot carpenter who’s ten years younger than her and as casual as they come—the complete opposite of sophisticated city-girl Alexis. And yet their chemistry is undeniable.
While her ultra-wealthy parents want her to carry on the family legacy of world-renowned surgeons, Alexis doesn’t need glory or fame. She’s fine with being a “mere” ER doctor. And every minute she spends with Daniel and the tight-knit town where he lives, she’s discovering just what’s really important. Yet letting their relationship become anything more than a short-term fling would mean turning her back on her family and giving up the opportunity to help thousands of people.
Bringing Daniel into her world is impossible, and yet she can’t just give up the joy she’s found with him either. With so many differences between them, how can Alexis possibly choose between her world and his?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The stakes are higher than usual in this frothy rom-com, where it’s not just one couple’s happiness at stake, but the health of thousands of people. Abby Jimenez’s heroine, Dr. Alexis Montgomery, works in a prestigious Minneapolis hospital that’s run by her extremely controlling father. Oh, and did we mention that her emotionally manipulative ex is chief of surgery? When Dr. Montgomery gets into a fender bender, she meets Daniel Grant, an incredibly sexy carpenter and B&B owner who’s nearly a decade her junior. Jimenez makes both her main characters flawed and relatable and introduces real complications into their courtship. Part of Your World is a witty and sexy romantic comedy with a nice dash of excitement.
Customer Reviews
Surprisingly Great: Just the Reset My Reading Slump Needed
Here's a polished version:
I'm not one for rom-coms or romance books — I mostly read thrillers and police procedurals. I'd found most too hokey, predictable, and reliant on entertaining the unbelievable. This was such a pleasant surprise — funny, heartwarming, and it even made me teary-eyed. Were there moments where the story felt far-fetched and the characters' plights overly simplistic? Yes. But it still captured the beauty of falling in love when you least expect it, with some yearning I really appreciated. It had whimsy and left me hopeful. Overall, a great introduction to this author, and I'm sure it won't be the last book of hers I read — if nothing else, her writing is a great reset when I need one.
Worth the read
Little predictable but a great love story. Love ALL of Abby’s books.
