Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez
5.0
One of my favorite rom-com's this year! Fall in love with small towns, chivalrous gentlemen, excitable dogs, and goats in pajamas with Abby Jimenez's latest love story...
Alexis is an accomplished emergency room doctor, yet nothing she does is ever good enough for her legacy family. And her recent failed relationship with the chief of surgery isn't helping her stay in her dad's good graces. Daniel, on the other hand, has his own legacy to live up to -- his family has held the mayorship of his tiny town (they don't even have a McDonald's!) for over a hundred years, and it's up to him to keep the town afloat. On top of that, he's trying to run a B&B at his family's estate home in order to make a future for himself. So, no pressure for these two! It seems like fate when these two meet, and their instant attraction makes it hard to walk away. But their lives just don't fit together, and they are constantly pulled in different directions -- Daniel with his responsibilities and Alexis with her family and professional obligations. They will need to give everything to be a part of each other's world.
Thoughts: This is, by far, my favorite rom-com so far in 2022! Daniel is a total dreamboat, Alexis is ambitious but down-to-earth and likable, and their friends are hilarious. (With lines like saying she'd follow a clown into a storm drain if it had a baby goat in pajamas, I can't wait for Bri's book next Spring! LOL) Daniel and Alexis are so sweet together, the small town charm is adorable, and there is so much to enjoy throughout the book. Unlike Jimenez's last novel [b:Life's Too Short|54377375|Life's Too Short (The Friend Zone, #3)|Abby Jimenez|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1593802541l/54377375._SY75_.jpg|81319946] that had me on "baited breath" wondering how the conflict would be resolved, readers can see an easy solution to this main conflict at least midway through. Made me want to shake Alexis and say, "Here's what you need to do!" Still totally worth it, though!
I was smiling almost the entire time!
