Summary:
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?
The New York Times bestselling author of Life’s Too Short delivers a refreshingly modern fairy tale perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Emily Henry.
My thoughts:
This is the fourth book I’ve read by Abby Jimenez and I think each book gets better and better because each time I finish one, I think it is my new favorite. If you have followed me for any time here, you know that romance books aren’t my typical jam, but there is just something magical about this author’s books and I will read anything and everything Abby writes.
This is the start of the Part of Your World series and while this book has been out for a while, I’m glad I finally got around to reading it because now there are three books out and I already have the second one on hand, so these characters should be somewhat familiar to me as I move from book to book. Notice I say should because of course I won’t necessarily be reading them back-to-back but we’ll see what happens.
One thing I do love about Abby’s books is how relatable her characters tend to be and I definitely found that here with Alexis and Daniel. I so enjoyed being part of their journey to their happily-ever-after – and let’s be honest…of course we all know there is going to be one as soon as they meet. Yes, there are plenty of bumps in the road, and yes, I did get worried that maybe, just maybe they wouldn’t be able to work things out, but I was pleased to see how they did. I love how she gives us a strong female lead in Alexis, someone you could aspire to be. And Daniel was someone you could hope to find in a partner if you don’t already have a good one in your life.
I’m excited to continue on with this series and see who’s story we will be getting next as well as hoping to get to catch up with Daniel and Alexis as the series progresses. After all…I live for character development and a series wouldn’t be the same if we didn’t see growth with characters we’ve already met, right?
Audio thoughts:
This book was brilliantly narrated by Julia Whelan and Zachary Webber. Both do an amazing job bringing this story to life, infusing just the right amount of emotion and tension into their voices as needed.
