I read Just For The Summer First which is actually the third installment in this series but fine as a stand alone. I liked this book, but felt parts of Just For The Summer would not have been as impactful if I had read this first. That said, not much was spoiled for me in this book by having read the third one first.

Part of Your World is a reverse Cinderella story. Alexis is royalty, in a way. She is part of a family that has a big name in the medical community and a 125-year legacy. Daniel is a carpenter and small town mayor who also runs a bed and breakfast. Fog, a raccoon, and a bet conspire to bring Alexis and Daniel together. Sparks fly and they feel an immediate connection. How can this relationship work when they are literally from two very different worlds?
Characters were well developed. Most of the characters were lovable. Some were despicable.
One of the things I enjoyed the most was that I couldn't predict how it was going to end. I found the ending to be extremely satisfying.
This book does deal with abusive relationships - both psychological abuse and physical abuse. It might be triggering to someone who is going through or has gone through similar situations.
Includes discussion questions for book clubs.
Recommended for people who like to read romances that seem destined to fail before they start and people who like to read books set in a small town.

It was such a cute story! It feels like I'm on vacation at Wakan every time Alexis goes there. Such a breath of fresh air. I really enjoyed and loved it!
I can't wait to read the next books in this series 🥰

I am a sucker for romance with depth and really really enjoyed this one! I liked that there was no beating around the bush, we just jumped straight into it, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen over 380 pages, but at no point did I feel bored or that it was being dragged out. I’d definitely suggest checking trigger warnings with this one as it does delve into some deeper topics, but I think that’s what made me love this book so much. I like that this one hits you hard with some pretty intense issues, but also brings in some silly lighthearted moments to lighten the mood, specifically the farm animals 🫶🏼 The only thing I didn’t like was the end wrapped up maybe a little too quickly and felt a bit rushed!

Daniel is a sweetie I loved him. As with many romance books I’ve read, a lot of hurt could have been avoided by just a bit more honesty/conversation esp on Alexis’ part. But her reasoning was valid so I don’t fault it as much.
Kudos to Jimenez for tackling so many different forms of abuse in a meaningful way. Very real and raw and I hope it has helped people recognize patterns potentially in their own lives/relationships.

I love that Jimenez’s books are not just rom-coms, they also cover social issues like domestic violence/abuse in a real way. The attraction between main characters is intense, the dialogue witty, and the plot grips you the whole way through. And you also walk away with practical tips on how to recognize covert narcissistic abuse, and how to support people in an abusive relationship so they can save themselves when they are ready. Five stars!
