Alexis Montgomery is a brilliant ER doctor from a wealthy legacy of doctors and her family, especially her father, have her life all planned out for her. So when she leaves her emotionally abusive boyfriend (and well-known surgeon), her family just can't accept it. Which is why Alexis doesn't tell them, or really anyone but her bestie, about the handsome woodworker and bed and breakfast owner, Daniel Grant, who she met after he rescued her from a ditch.

What starts as a fling quickly becomes more, but Daniel Grant doesn't fit into her city life, and certainly wouldn't get the approval of her father. Alexis must choose between the life she's always thought she would have, and an irresistible carpenter who makes her feel the way she's always wanted.

Abby Jimenez's books pack a punch with the romance, and this one is another hard-hitter. Another fantastic read!

Trigger warnings: Emotional and physical abuse

I couldn't put this book down! I stayed up way too late laughing, crying and enjoying every single page. Abby's writing brings her characters to life and draws you in to their every emotion. From the very first page I wanted to be friends with Alexis and Daniel.

When you pick up a romcom you know the general direction the story will be headed; but "Part of Your World" gives you so much more along the journey. Abby isn't afraid of the heavy, real life issues (trigger warning- this book addresses abuse) and that's what makes her writing so engaging and relatable. Her humor is such a wonderful escape from my everyday junk, yet it's well anchored in the depth of her character development. The love story is what we all dream of and hope for in a romcom. The love scenes are sexy, and sweet without being too smutty.

The only disappointment in this book is that it was over too fast! I'm excited to read it again... and again.

I’m always excited when Abby puts out a new book. This one I was lucky enough to read as an early release.. and the only downside to that is now I have to wait even longer for the next one to become available. Abby’s ability to cover such sensitive topics without cheapening them is amazing. She’s so careful to accurately depict what people go through in real life. There are no complaints, except I’m sad the book was over. 5 stars again

When I got approved for Abby Jimenez’s new book I was beyond excited. I have loved everything she’s has written and this book was no different. Alexis and Daniel are from two different worlds. When Alexis ends up stranded in Daniels small town they start a relationship that neither one do them sees coming or can see how to fit into their very different worlds. The book does a wonderful job building their relationship and touch on the subject of emotional abuse. As with all of her books the only problem I had was wanting to read more.
Thank you so much for allowing me to
Read this advanced copy.

When Alexis finds herself stuck in a ditch on a country dirt road she doesn't realize that this unexpected detour is about to change the course of her life forever. When Daniel Montgomery, the town's mayor pulls her out of the ditch and makes her a grilled cheese sandwich he doesn't realize that he's about to fall madly in love. Total opposites both with their own obligations to their jobs and families this story tackles some really serious topics. I literally could not put this book down, I can't wait to read the next one.

It is no surprise that Abby knocked this one out of the park, again! When you think she can’t make us love her work any more than we already do, she goes and releases a new book, and - yep you guessed it - makes us love her stories even more! There are few authors I will drop my current read for in order to read their latest work, and Abby is one of them.

In Abby’s latest, we meet two people who can’t be anymore different from each other, but yet are perfect together. Small-town Daniel, the “mayor” of Wakan, a small tourist town, and sexy carpenter by trade. Daniel is an amazingly sweet man, who would give someone the shirt off his back because that’s just the type of guy he is.

Then we have Alexis, successful E.R. physician from the city, whose parents are world renowned surgeons. Regardless of her success being a physician, we witness the struggles Alexis has regarding living up to the standards of her father and the status of her family’s name.

Following the best meet-cute in the history of meet-cutes, these two characters will win you over with their humor, kindness, strong chemistry and outstanding banter. And might I add for the lovers of the Age-Gap trope, Daniel is nearly ten years younger than Alexis! Hehe.

Once again, Part of Your World is just another reason to prove that Abby’s talent as a writer knows no bounds. Her rom-coms excels beyond the typical rom-com to something much deeper by weaving real struggles and situations that we as the reader can relate to, understand, or respect. This is why Abby has remained a one-click author for me and will always be. Fellow bookworms, get your hands on this book in April.

Thank you Netgalley and Forever for supplying me with an early copy!

I think I held my breath for the entire last half of this book! Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez is such a sweet, heartbreaking, and uplifting book. A doctor and a carpenter have an unlikely meeting that leads to a clash of big city/high society with small town/simpler life. It had me rooting so hard for so many of the characters, and feeling the complete opposite for a few of the others. When a book makes me care this much, you know it’s a good one! Bonus points for the amazing food descriptions! 5 stars! Thank you to NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the ARC!

Abby's use of real dialogue and realistic situations pulls you right in and makes you want to root for each character from the moment you meet them. Having personally helped someone deal with the fallout of domestic abuse, I felt instantly connected. Abby was able to connect with multiple perspectives and offer insight as to why people stay from an incredibly relatable point of view.

I've once again laughed, cried, and fell in love with another set of characters that I would absolutely associate with in my every day life.

One thing I love about Abby’s books is that she hits all the nails on the head! She gives us humour, heart and steam and doesn’t sacrifice plot for any of it!

The chemistry between Alexis and Daniel was perfect. And I truly enjoyed how while they both had reservations, Alexis more so than Daniel, they seemed to always follow their hearts and I am always here for that kind of journey!

Beyond the two MCs the town of Wakan and its residents were so enjoyable. I wanted to escape there instantly! And I cannot wait to see what future role it plays in Abby’s future books.

As I said the humour and steam were great but let me focus on the heart! Alexis is a doctor after all and so it seems fitting! Part of Your World covers a lot of ground. Many of the characters are dealing with things beyond trying to figure out how to get everything they want. Toxic relationships may be the central issue, with emotional and physical abuse each coming into play. But it goes beyond that and covers social structures and obligations and mental health. The heart weaves its way through every single aspect of this book and I think that’s what is so special about it! Tiny life lessons abound!

I am so grateful to Forever Publishing and Netgalley for letting me read this eARC in exchange of an honest review!

Trigger warnings below.





- physical spousal abuse, emotional abuse from partner and partner, toxic friendships, drowning talked about but off page, ptsd, mental health

Abby did it again, Part of Your World was amazing! Every book she writes will suck you right in and you won’t be able to sleep until you finish it. Without giving any spoilers I will say that the relationship that Alexis and Daniel have is fireworks right from the beginning. There is an age gap and it’s long distance. The way each of them is so different yet when they’re together they are so happy in love. Abby writes about abuse in a relationship in the form of verbal abuse which I feel is a form of abuse not known or thought about as often and how it’s hard to get out of that relationship. The whole book was wonderfully written and I love the way she connects all her books together in little ways. I have cried while reading each of her books and this one did the same. You will fall for Alexis and Daniel and their relationship and feel like they are close friends and you just need to know how their story ends. I definitely recommend this read and her other 3 books!

I just finished reading this book and let me just say that it was difficult to put it down. Every chapter led me to wanting to read another that I didn’t sleep until 2:30am. This is one of those poor-and-rich-couple-whose-lives-would-never-work-out stories. I feel like every time I read a new book that Abby writes, I always tell myself “this is her best book yet”. I laughed, I cried, and I fell in love reading this book. Alexis’ character touched me in a way that I can relate how people have big expectations of me. Daniel is such an adorable character and is definitely my new book boyfriend. My real longterm boyfriend is also a woodworker so this book is so relatable! I’m not wealthy like Alexis but in some ways, their characters are very relatable. The book is beautifully written and it really placed me in the situations the characters were in.

First word that comes to mind after reading this book is wow just wow! This book was equal parts heart wrenching, heartwarming, comical and eye opening. Abby Jimenez does a great job at not just writing a entertaining RomCom but including relevant issues that are going on everyday. I fell in love with the characters and this story line. The kind of book that makes you want to get up and go make a difference in the world, which speaks levels to the Author itself. Absolutely phenomenal!

4.5 stars

Another read-in-one sitting novel from
Abby Jimenez!

Things I like about her writing:
Her female friendships (in this book Bri): keeping it real, supporting without enabling and showing true compassion for each other.

Her characters: they are good, flawed people doing the best they can. The men are so soft and I’m here for it. In this one I liked that the age difference (she’s older than him) wasn’t dwelled upon, it was addressed and then we moved on- it wasn’t the main conflict of the book 👍👍

Her deft handling of hard topics: in this book it was abuse. I appreciated that she had multiple vignettes about abuse: emotional, mental, physical, partner, family- it doesn’t just look like one thing. Even with all these instances it wasn’t overwhelming. Other hard topics that she covers in previous books: infertility, death of a spouse, chronic illness, and mental health. The author always tackles these with a blend of humor and heaviness.

Working at relationships: Navigating what it’s like to listen to your heart and make a relationship work. Most of the time the author doesn’t make us wait until the very end of the book to see the characters enjoying being in their relationship. There’s always some point where you’re like, ok but how are they going to get through this? And then when they do it’s very satisfying and the HEA feels earned.

Steam level. In this book, the first few sex scenes were sort of alluded to instead of being part of the plot and I was like why you gotta do that to us, Abby? She’s not usually a fade-to-black writer. Thankfully that was not the case for the whole book.

Continuity: I love the connections between the characters in all her books. In each story there are callbacks to characters in previous novels- sometimes they are a big part of the book woven into the plot and sometimes it’s just references like in this one Josh (the friend zone) is casually mentioned as being Daniel’s cousin. It makes it feel like a cozy little world you get to experience again and again.

I didn’t fall in love with the main relationship as much this round (maybe because I had just binged all the other books and my heart was so full already?) It also seemed like there was less of the authors signature witty banter which has made me laugh out loud in her other books. It was there just a little muted. Still a super delightful read!

P.S. As a late 30s something woman the title is giving me serious Aladdin vibes and I’m not sure how I feel about it. 🧞‍♂️

get ready, this will be a book that you most definitely will hug when you finish. I LOVED this RomCom! It was so cute, the banter is so good, you fall in love with the main characters, and strongly dislike others. Another reason I love this book is that it leaves you with life mantras, one’s you can apply realistically to your life. I cannot wait for everyone to feel this book, because you will not read this with your eyes, you will feel this book with your heart.

⚠️abuse: mentally, emotionally and physically.

Thank you netgalley, Forever publishing and Abby Jimenez

(CW: Death, Harassment, Abuse)
Can April come any sooner? To be fair, I got the email I was approved and then immediately wanted to read it, I WAS THAT EXCITED.
Anyway, I loved it. I can't pinpoint where it ranks quite yet, but this was amazing. And let me tell you why.
I didn't think I would enjoy an age gap romance (The Idea of You is okay in my opinion) but this was so well done. I mean, Daniel is really mature for his age of 28, so that helped a lot. The insta-love is also something I'm grappling to see if I truly love the trope but I fell in love with Daniel from the minute he stepped on the page.
But where I think Abby just took it to a whole new level was Alexis and her relationship with her family. You can definitely see she and Daniel come from different lifestyles and she wants him and loves him so much but her parents (specifically her dad) want her to be this well known, smart, successful doctor, and a part of me could relate to that growing up in an Asian household.
Anyway, I could rant on about how much I loved this book, it was amazing. The relationship, the character development, JUST THE AFFECTION. Oh and all the fairytale odes. It was great.

I could not stop reading this book!! I finished it in one sitting and let me just say, it was one my favorite books that I’ve read this year! Surprisingly, this is the first book I’ve read from Abby Jimenez, but I will definitely be reading all of her other books ASAP.

Part of your world features Daniel and Alexis. Daniel has it all; he’s tall, dark, and handsome paired with a beard and tattoos. He also happens to be the most caring and dependable guy. He comes from a very small town where he wears many hats including running a B&B. Alexis comes from a completely different world. She is an ER doctor and comes from a very rich and influential family of doctors. Everything in her life has been decided for her. She doesn’t even know how to cook or clean for herself because she’s always had staff to do it for her. One night, Alexis is passing through Daniel’s small town when she swerves off the road and into a ditch to avoid hitting a raccoon. Daniel stops to give her a tow and they end up spending the night together. They can’t seem to get the other out of their heads and start a friends with benefits type of relationship except they are basically strangers.

I am so in love with Alexis and Daniel! They have amazing chemistry, great banter, and both are so invested in helping the other grow. I love when a book makes me feel like I am a part of it, like I know these characters personally, and that is exactly what Abby Jimenez’s writing did. I don’t know how many times I had literal butterflies in my stomach, and I grinned so much my face hurt. There was so much that I could relate to with certain situations the characters went through, and I’m honestly so sad to have finished the book. I would just recommend reading the trigger warnings before starting the book.

I can’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy of the book. I know this will be a comfort read that I come back to reread, and I can’t wait to start reading more books from Abby Jimenez!
I will definitely be recommending this book to every romance reader I know!

Abby has done it again! This book is absolutely wonderful. It deals with the real life issue of abuse in such a delicate way. The characters are sooo relatable. As usual, the witty dialogue was entertaining and flows naturally. The best way I can think to describe the book is Sweet Home Alabama vibes with some Disney magic thrown in. Daniel is an absolutely dreamy leading man. Seeing Ali’s growth into a strong independent woman was empowering. I love how the little town was a character and had a personality of its own. I can’t wait for Abby’s next book!

When I found out I’d received an early arc of Part of Your World, I may have squealed. When Abby Jimenez puts out any book, it immediately gets pre-ordered. Then I wait for months in eager anticipation.

I was torn between wanting to devour the entire book in a single sitting, avoiding all my other parenting duties and letting myself read only a little at a time to savior it. I ended up doing something in the middle. I made myself take breaks throughout this book but thought about Alexis and Daniel the whole time I was apart from it. Definitely the sign of a must read!

To say I loved this book would be an understatement. Such a sweet love story. I loved the main characters, the magical little town of Wakan and even little Chloe the goat. Loved the symbolism of the dragonflies each time they were mentioned. Loved the elements of Disney stories and themes of family and royalty. Loved Mother Nature having a say in the town and who lives there. I found myself googling to see if the town was real and if I could also make the drive from my home in Minneapolis. Sadly, it’s fictional.

Only sad that book is over. But I will keep thinking about this story, the characters and read it many times over. I will be telling everyone I know to read this and every other Abby Jimenez book as well.

Counting down until her next release.

Thank you to Abby Jimenez, Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and NetGalley for letting me read an early copy of this ebook.

Major thanks to NetGalley, Forever and Abby Jimenez for the arc.

Let me preface this by saying Abby Jimenez has quickly moved to my short list of authors I auto-buy. I don’t even care what the book is about. I don’t need a blurb or a cover (although I love them.) I’d read her grocery list. Jimenez does not disappoint. In fact she outdoes herself each book. Receiving this arc was such a gift. Release date felt like forever away and now that I read A Part of Your World I think I need to read it again.

A Part of Your World…. was so, so good. I almost didn’t even want to start it because I knew I wouldn’t want it to end. I couldn’t put it down and when I absolutely had to (because life) I couldn’t stop thinking about the characters. I’m not sure if I love Alexis or Daniel more. This story moved me to tears, which a book has not done in so long. It made me smile, it warmed my heart, it made me think about life and love.

The fairytale of Alexis and Daniel was so good for my soul. They were almost a modern day Ariel & Eric or Beauty & the Beast. Both so important in their own universes but almost unimaginable to blend the two together. Yet you can’t imagine the two being apart, all in the same breath. Both had survived the people in their worlds and the struggles life threw at them. Both so loyal that they’re faced with the hardest decision. Can love be enough? Is love the most important thing, or should it be?

Read this book. Devour it. Nurse your book hangover.

Another delightful read by Abby Jimenez!
As a MN girl, born and raised, I will always love seeing reference to my home state. In this book, more than any of Abbys prior books, I can relate (growing up in a tourist town). But also, I escaped an emotionally abusive marriage. It was the same for me that most couldn’t see or believe it and took his side when I was finally able to escape. I felt like Abby handled this topic and the more extreme physically abusive relationship with 100% the right approach.

The story sucks you in and has you cheering for Daniel and feeling for Alexis. And I loved the magic that we saw in Wakan.

Don’t miss out on this amazing story!
