Romance
Part of Your World
Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez
This was a good one, my first book by this author.
After Daniel Grant rescues Alexis’ car from a ditch, they meet again at the local VFW. In jest, Alexis joins a wild bet and goes home with Daniel. She is charmed with a baby goat in pajamas, the best gourmet grilled cheese sandwich she’s ever had and some alluring chemistry.
The chemistry is explosive and they find themselves in a long distance relationship. The problem, their worlds are so different they can’t fit in either. She comes from a world of wealthy doctors and parents that live in their own world with ridiculous expectations. He lives in a small town that needs him to exist. Their worlds are set on a collision course. Alexis is wrecked because she can’t deny the joy she is filled with by Daniel, something she has never experienced.
Once their worlds collided, she has to decide if she can walk away from one or the other.
Although there was some spice in this one, I found myself experiencing everything with Alexis and Daniel. I laughed out loud and got frustrated with some situations right along with the characters. The story was heart wrenching and joyful at the same time. I loved Hunter, Daniel’s rescue dog, he stole the show on more than one occasion causing me to laugh out loud! I really enjoyed this book! 4/5⭐️
Reach For the Stars
Reach for the Stars by Maxine Morrey
This was a great story from beginning to end!
Felicity drowns her sorrow in a dramatic way after witnessing her ex and his new wife on the glossy spread of a magazine. She ends up in a whole new life when she home shops drunk and buys her way into a dilapidated farmhouse site unseen. She also manages to lose her job and close on her own apartment in the span of a drunken stupor. Then her DIY farmhouse crushes her spirit when a tree crushes the roof of the house and her car during a storm.
“Flissy” has trust issues and has a hard time accepting any help, especially from the gorgeous neighbor she keeps running into.
This one was terrific! I was laughing out loud in the first chapter! While there were serious parts and moments that evoked all the feelings that you look for in a romance, this one was also fun to read. It had a beautiful story of self discovery, finding love, and was full of personal growth. Jesse’s dog, Ned stole the show too!
I enjoyed the character building and the friendships found in a small town, both really allowed the reader to connect with the story. The book was a wonderfully written story of finding one’s purpose and place. 4/5⭐️
I would like to thank NetGalley for the opportunity to review an ARC of this title.
