You know the story will be great right from the beginning with a hilarious meet-cute! Abby Jimenez doesn’t disappoint, and each book just keeps getting better. Definitely one of my favorites!

You know you’re in for a witty-banter treat with Abby Jimenez, and Part of Your World is no exception. Alexis, driving back from what she describes as “the worst week ever” ends up in a remote small town where she meets Daniel. He’s instantly lovable as he rescues Alexis with his furry companion, good-guy vibes banter with his friends, and most importantly, his baby goat. The story alternates POV and after only four chapters, I’m itching for more!

Such a luscious start to a novel! I am not usually a romance novel person, but I really need to know how this relationship plays out and HOW. I saw the pairing a mile away, but whew...I am in for this ride.

Pros: I am a new reader to the romance genre, so I am thrilled to have the opportunity to sample a book. I'm still learning the subgenres and tropes and figuring out my favorites. I've heard Abby Jimenez's name mentioned multiple times as a great in the genre, so I thought this sample would be a great place to start. Although I'll have to wait to read the rest of this book, I'm going to get a copy of The Happy Ever After Playlist from the library!

Cons: I have a love-hate relationship with chapter samples. I love getting an introduction to a book, but then I'm disappointed I can't keep reading.

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the opportunity to sample this book!

I knew reading only 4 chapters of any Abby Jimenez book would be torturous! Now I'm waiting for the rest in April and it's going to be a long few months.
Daniel + Alexis have tantalizing chemistry from the start; their banter is addicting and I need more stat. He is already a delicious smoke show....

Two things I love: Forever Pub Book Previews and Abby Jimenez Books!! (Also, Abby's book boyfriend characters, ok technically three things!)

I have no doubt Daniel Grant will quickly become a fabulous book boyfriend. What's not to love about this preview?! A perfect meet-cute, witty banter, a man who can cook, a baby goat. I need more chapters!!!

Thank you to Netgalley, author Abby Jimenez, and the publisher for this 4 chapter preview.

I am already a huge fan of Abby Jimenez and her previous series “The Friend Zone”. So far her new book, Part of Your World, does not disappoint.

City-girl Alexis, runs her car into a ditch on her way back from a funeral and is rescued by a handsome, small-town stranger Daniel. They bump into each other again in town. Daniel somehow convinces Alexis to go home with him, with promises of baby goats and gourmet grilled cheese. With just the bit of chemistry we see in the first 4 chapters it definitely seems like opposites do attract.

I love that Daniel’s dog, Hunter, appears to be modeled after the author’s dog Tess. They’re described the same so that’s a nice little Easter egg.

I can’t wait to read the rest of the book when it comes out. As soon as I finished the preview, I placed my preorder.

My first Abby Jimenez read and I was hooked after the first chapter. I love a good re-telling and I am excited to learn more about this story and the characters!

The characters are well written with just enough back story to keep you invested. I was wanting more as the preview ends on a cliffhanger... Wishing, hoping, wanting to know the rest of the story.

This was an immediate add to my TBR! Can't wait to read the rest of this book!

The book starts with our heroine, Alexis stranded in a ditch seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Daniel comes up and tows her out of the ditch. While I only read the first four chapters, I can tell I am really going to love this one!! Abby Jimenez is a fantastic writer and had me hooked from chapter two. I want to know more about this little town with the hot mayor and what made Alexis swear off men.. From the four chapters I got to read, I am going to give it four stars with the knowledge that this story has the potential to be a five-star book!

I cannot WAIT for this to come out! The preview I read of the first four chapters were filled with the fun and witty banter we know and love so well from Abby. She's a fantastic writer. I'm really excited to see how this relationship unfolds. I love Daniel already. And Alexis is growing on me. And the hook at the end of chapter four literally had me saying out loud "Wait, no!" because I wanted to know what happened so badly and I have to wait! Counting down the days this one comes out for sure.

Only having the first 4 chapter preview of this book is just about torture. Part of Your World will easily be a book that I stay up way too late to read in one night because the story is so intriguing that I can’t put it down. The draw between the characters is already so strong, I can’t wait to see what happens in the rest of the story.

Read the first few chapters and I have to say this books gets you hooked into what will come between Alexis and Grant. It is very well written just like all Abby Jimenez books and I can’t wait to read the rest!

Small town romances are typically pretty hit or miss for me and I'll be honest, I was skeptical at first. But, I very quickly warmed up to this setting. Being from Wisconsin, there are a lot of similarities between the culture I grew up in, and the Daniel's town. I, too, have been pulled out of the ditch by a stranger, have had dinner at the VFW, and know people with goats as pets.

The thing that really hooked me, though, was the ending. I absolutely need to know where she went, why, and what happened overnight. Beyond this, I do not have a ton to say because this was such a short snippet, but I am definitely excited to read more and find out what how their relationship is going to develop from this point forward.

I was instantly hooked into this book. The book starting off with Alexis' situation makes your intrigued right from the get-go. Shortly after, you are introduced to Daniel who seems to be such a charming character. Right away the chemistry between Alexis and Daniel is there and they're pretty funny together. The relationship and closeness between Daniel and the town members (like Doug, Liz, etc.) brings that familial-feel and welcoming atmosphere towards the setting of the book which I also liked. After 4 chapters, I am definitely already hooked into the story and would definitely go on to read the full book when it is released!

Huge fan of Abby Jimenez here, and her fourth title exceeds all expectations! Part of Your World is literary gold, creating immediately lovable characters with her signature witty dialogue woven throughout. Highly recommended!

After the first few sentences, I knew I was going to want more and more of this witty rom-com. Four chapters was not enough! I can't wait to read more about Alexis and Daniel. This is the kind of book you can''t put down until you finished reading it. And even then, you are left with wanting more.

Loved every page of this! Just as with all Abby Jimenez books, I didn't want to put it down. Alexis' character is fun and easy to love, I had no problem jumping right into her world. She is town between her family's legacy and the love and connection she has found with small-town Daniel. It help my attention until the very end, and I was routine for Alexis and Daniel the whole time!

What a tease! These first four chapters have me hooked! I'm already invested in these characters in such little time. Abby Jimenez is the best at what she does and has been one of my favorite authors since her first book. I'm sure Part of Your World will be another great success if these first chapters are anything to go by. Can't wait to read the rest!
