After her car breaks down in a tiny Minnesota town, big-city ER doctor Alexis Montgomery is rescued by Daniel, a younger local handyman and mayor. Their unlikely romance collides with class expectations and her controlling family. Abby Jimenez's contemporary romance was an instant New York Times...
When her car dies outside a speck of a Minnesota town, prominent big-city ER doctor Alexis Montgomery is pulled from a ditch by Daniel Grant - a younger, easygoing local handyman who also happens to be the town's mayor - and a fling that was never supposed to matter starts to matter enormously. Abby Jimenez builds Part of Your World around the frictions that make the fantasy complicated: class and status, an age gap, and the expectations of Alexis's controlling, image-obsessed family and ex. As always, Jimenez blends genuine comfort-romance warmth with heavier real-world texture, here including an unflinching thread about an abusive relationship, handled with care. The result is a feel-good small-town love story with more substance than the premise promises, funny and swoony but willing to take its heroine's dilemmas seriously. For readers who want cozy escape that still respects hard choices - and a hero who is kind rather than brooding - this instant bestseller is a warm, satisfying pick.
