eading Abby's books always make me want to get through them as quickly as possible but also make them last as long as possible. She's done it again with this beautiful and deep romance with Doctor Alexis Montgomery and b&b/carpenter Daniel Grant. This story takes you on a fairytale journal. Abby has purposely infused gorgeous moments of magic into the story to show us all the power of love and help the reader to be transported into the extraordinary.

The contrast between the wealthy family Alexis comes from and the humble background of Daniel is vividly created in the book. Ideas around wealth and class structures come to the forefront during their relationship. There's no shortage of humor in the book from the funny and quirky townspeople where Daniel is the mayor, to Alexi's best friend who does not have any sort of filter. Abby takes us on an emotional journey of not only love, but finding oneself beneath all the family expectations that strongly hold both of these characters.

The emotional and physical abuse discussed in the book is done in a way that conveys the severity of the issue but also shows the possibility for healing from such trauma. You will laugh and you will cry, and your heart will be full after reading this book!

I’m so excited to read the full book! I was hooked from the first page. I love Abby Jimenez and have loved her other books. This preview has me even more excited that I already was, I can’t wait for pub day!

*Excerpt only review*

Abby Jiminez sets the scene for a modern twist of the opposites attract trope with a knight-in-shining-tow truck and an obvious out-of-towner stuck in a ditch. Added bonus--MMC fosters baby goats. The advanced excerpt left me excited for more and with the confidence this will be another excellent read from Abby. Can't wait for April 5th!

Gah! I was thrilled to read a sample, but it's not enough! I can't wait to get my hands on the full book. I'm already hooked within the first couple of chapters. I'm sure Abby Jimenez has done it again.

Based on the first four chapters I received, I’m hooked. I love the opposite attraction trope, especially when the male character is a nice guy and the female has all the power. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Alexis and Daniel.

Abby Jimenez is going to do it again! I can’t wait to finish the rest! I am a huge fan and April 19th cannot come soon enough!!

I loved this book so much! It was fun and interesting in all the best ways! I love when a book doesn't waste any time getting started on the actual storyline. From the beginning, I loved Alexis' character and then also loved Daniel once we get to know him too (I mean, he is perfect, really). I found myself laughing out loud often at Ali's silly antics and thought processes. I mean, the thought process behind the goat and its powers of persuasion alone was super cute.

I did cry quite a bit toward the end but not in the heart-wrenching way that I did with Life's Too Short. This was emotional in a heart-warming way.

Recommend to all rom-com lovers!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advance copy of this ebook for review!

A preview was not enough, I want more! It’s funny they mentioned Julia Roberts because it felt very southern American Notting Hill to me. Looking forward to reading the book when released.

I absolutely loved this book. The descriptions, humor, and romance are perfectly balanced to keep the reader interested without falling into the clichés that many romance novels rely on. I never once got bored or felt excluded over never ending details or situations that would only appeal to a few people. I can’t wait to read more from abbey jimenez!!

So far, so good! This has such a classic romcom feel to it. I've heard great things about Abby Jimenez and now I understand why! I can't wait to read the rest of the story :)

I was beyond excited to get a sneak peek of an Abby Jimenez book. I flew through The Friend Zone series and have been dying to read more from this author ever since. The initial meeting of the love interests was nothing special, but I was HOOKED when they met for real. Immediately fell in love with Daniel. Four chapters went by way too fast (I mean, that ending!!!) and I can’t wait to read more!

Also, I just want to say that I appreciate that the main characters are in their 30s!

I could not have loved the preview more! I cannot wait for the book to come out. I own every book by Abby Jimenez in kindle, paperback, and audio version. I am dying to know how their story plays out!

After reading the advanced chapters from Abby Jimenez’ newest novel, Part Of Your World, I am HOOKED. Worse than a kid in a candy store (bad goat pun intended. Haha).

After reading the first first chapters, I MUST know what happens next! I know that it will be a bit of the “Country Mouse vs City Mouse” in the characters of Daniel and Alexis, but I can’t wait to read what Abby Jimenez has in store for us!

Thank you to NetGalley and the Hachette Book Group for these advanced chapters of Part Of Your World by Abby Jimenez!

Abby Jimenez is an author who constantly reminds me of why I love reading! Her writing has the ability to make me laugh out loud on one page and promptly start sobbing on the next. So glad to peek a snippet of this book before it’s formal release — Alexis is the leading lady we’ve all been waiting for! April, please come faster!

Thanks again to the publisher and author from granting my wish for an advanced reading copy of Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez.

I had the opportunity to read the first 4 chapters of Part of Your World. I read through them in no time! The first few chapters didn’t disappoint. I laughed out loud and am now craving more. The farm boy, city girl vibe is great. I can’t imagine what twists and turns the rest of the book will bring. Can’t wait to get my hands on the book when it comes out in April.

OH MY GOSH. I am so sad I can't keep reading this book. I am already so obsessed. The plot sounds so great, and I was immediately hooked from the beginning. Abby Jimenez sure knows how to write. I am so freaking excited to reading this when it comes out!

I love a lot of Abby's previous works so it's no surprise that I enjoyed this one as well!! I'd love to read the rest of the book asap!!

I’ve only read the first four chapters but I cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of them.

This book is special, I can already tell, and I want more. The characters are fun, and engaging. The voices are different, and I forgot that I was reading a book.
