Synopsis
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?

Review
Part of Your World is hands down my favorite Abby Jimenez book!
I loved it so much! Daniel! Oh, if I could only meet a man like Daniel! He is basically perfect. He is such a sweet guy who wants to help everyone he can. I completely get why Alexis would fall for him. And Alexis. I loved how this woman who, on the outside, seemed so strong and put together was struggling. Alexis was such a real character, and I loved reading about her and seeing her grow.
This book is told in alternating POVs between Daniel and Alexis. This is my preferred romance writing style, and I loved it so much in Part of Your World. It was great to see Alexis and Daniel together and apart. I liked getting that glimpse of them when they were each in their communities without the other one and how different their worlds were.
This book deals with abuse, both mental and physical abuse. It also shows how people judge one another. I liked how Alexis admitted to herself that if she hadn’t had a personal connection to Daniel, she might have been just as guilty of treating him poorly as her friends. But we learn in this book that “grace costs you nothing,” and I loved that quote almost as much as I loved this book!
