Alexis has lived the life she has been expected to. She’s an ER doctor in the hospital her family has worked in for 125 years. She loves her job, and has just gotten out of a relationship which undercut her self-worth severely, and her ex is still trying to manipulate her and those around her.
One night, driving a few hours from home, her car winds up in a ditch. She gets a tow from Daniel, a very sexy man whom she doesn’t expect to see again, but then she runs into him again shortly afterward. And after helping him win a bet, the next thing she knows, she’s sneaking out of his house early in the morning to drive home.
Daniel is the complete opposite of her in every way—he’s 10 years younger, has tattoos, and seems to be immensely happy in his small town. (He’s actually the mayor, among other things.) But while Alexis can’t get him out of her mind, she knows that Daniel could never fit in her world, so they’re just going to keep it casual. (Sure, Jan.)
Of course, the more time Alexis spends with Daniel, the more she realizes she can’t live without him, and she’s starting to love his town, where everyone truly cares about one another. But would a relationship between them really work if she turned her back on her family and the legacy she’s expected to carry on? How can she realize she’s worthy of living her own life and truly being happy?
Part of Your World is the first book by Jimenez that didn’t leave me in a puddle of tears, but that doesn’t mean I enjoyed it any less. She always creates such memorable characters and this book is no exception! (One of my favorite characters, Bri, will get her own book next year.) I loved the chemistry between Alexis and Daniel, and the entire town of Wakan.
