Part of Your World (Part of Your World, 1)
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?
"Abby Jimenez's words are like fairy dust... they sprinkled humor and warmth all over my life. Pick up Part of Your World if you're looking for an uplifting, feel-good, romantic read--and for a beautiful reminder that we should always try to live the life that makes us the happiest." --Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

I LOVED the story! Abby Jiminez never disappoints! The love story was super cute and refreshing. What really hit home for me was the emotional abuse references. As someone who experienced it, this was the first book I've read that validated that emotional abuse IS abuse and how it affects the victim. I was falling in love with Alexis and Daniel and their love story, and then I fell in love with Abby Jiminez when she wrote about something that really hit home.

QUOTES I LIKED!
As someone who actively avoids contemporary romance, I did not expect to love this book as much as I did. I am completely obsessed! Part of Your World touched me in a way that I usually only reserve for historical fiction. The writing was clear, realistic, and (most importantly) there were zero gag-worthy moments. I was fully squealing and giggling at every turn (an unprecedented reaction from me in this genre).
The characters felt real, their struggles were deeply authentic, and the depictions of domestic abuse (in all its forms) were handled with nuance and care. And oh my god, I donât think Iâve ever been more infuriated with a fictional family than I was with the Montgomeries. The level of rage they induced? Unmatched. But I absolutely loved the MCs! Their journey, their love, their well-earned happily-ever-after... I was rooting for them every step of the way.
Iâm still in awe of how much I adored this book. Abby Jimenez completely blew my mind and mightâve single-handedly converted me (a contemporary romance skeptic). If you havenât read this yetâfix that immediately.
