Welcome to Litsy!

“Grace costs you nothing.” -Part of your world by Abby Jimenez. #bookquote #currentlyreading. #BOTM.

Another great read by Abby Jimenez. It‘s the first book in the PART OF YOUR WORLD series and follows Alexis and Daniel. It‘s an opposites attract romance where city girl physician, Dr Alexis Montgomery meets small town mayor Daniel Grant when a raccoon runs in front of her and she lands her car in a ditch. In comes our hero to tow her out and they begin their journey. She doesn‘t think he fits in her world but she slides easily into his. *****

This small town romance was so sweet and so wholesome! Virgin River mixed with Grey‘s Anatomy, honestly it was right up my alley! I cared so much about each and every character, I felt they were so relatable. I loved the little bits of magic realism to make this feel like a real life fairytale. Abby Jimenez is quickly becoming one of my favorite romance authors! 4.5/5

This was a grown up version of Pretty in Pink and I was here for it! Alexis, a sophisticated, wealthy ER doctor, is left to uphold her family‘s medical legacy after her twin brother is disowned for marrying someone “unacceptable.” Daniel, a small-town carpenter/inn owner, is 10 years Alexis‘ junior, but sparks fly when they meet. They come from different worlds but can they make it work? This is my fave of Jimenez‘s books that I‘ve read so far!

I like to say things like “I don‘t read a lot of romance” or “romance isn‘t my jam,” but I‘ve learned that Abby Jimenez is absolutely my jam, so I‘ll be reading everything she has written or ever writes 🤷🏼‍♀️. I really loved this one, even more than Yours Truly and that‘s saying a lot.

My #BOTM came yesterday!! Getting my summer reading stack ready!! 🌞 📚

What did you choose?!

I was not prepared for this book to be funny AND sweet AND a deep exploration of abusive relationships AND have magical realism AND AND AND!! Abby Jimenez has me HOOKED. #contemporaryromance #romcom

This was my first read from Abby Jimenez and I sadly, I didn't like it as much as I wanted to. So cheesy. And most of the characters annoyed me.

#ItTakesAllKinds

The two books in the author‘s Part of Your World Series are #WithPhysician as 3 of the 4 main characters in them are doctors. 🩺 💉💊🩹❤️

I hope all of this author‘s books are as good as this one. I loved this so much. What a fun story with so many memorable moments and great characters. I loved the setting and the story and everything about it. I absolutely cannot wait to read the next book and get another glimpse into this world. Definitely hoping it‘s just as good!

I'm a hard sell on romance, if I know I'm guaranteed a happy ever after, you need to give me substance throughout to keep me interested and this book delivered.

I enjoyed the complicated parent / adult children dynamics, especially the mother / daughter relationship.

Also showcasing different forms of domestic abuse is a hit with me. Wonderful representation.

Two romances read last year, one YA & one adult, where they are #HoldingHands on the cover. 💙❤️💙

Like all of her books I read this very fast 🥺 because it so good loved it 😊

This was a really great romance read! I liked how the story incorporated some more thought-provoking elements, even amidst a lighthearted romance story.

This book had all the feels for me. It was sad, funny, and even made me mad a time or two. Loved the characters and was very happy with how things worked out. I have read other books by this author but this is my favorite to-date. 4.5⭐️

I finally dove into an Abby Jimenez book and may I say, she can write an excellent rom-com. She can make it hit your heart and soul. After this, I know for sure I will be after her other books. #romcom #cozyreads #fallreading #kindle #libbyreading

Ooh, I liked this one. And checked off my #bookspin early this month! Even got a few #scarathlon #wordsearch words too. I‘ll say that a couple of scenes were a little long/overdone and the ending was completely expected but I really enjoyed the journey. #spookyghostclub

This was adorable! I loved Ali and Daniel.
It was a nice, light read

A lot of spice 🌶️🌶️and a lot of feels! 😍😍 Not a life changer but I enjoyed the story a lot. I listened to in instead of read and my only criticism is that I thought Ally's personality changed somewhat when told through the POV of Daniel. Was a lovely beach read.

Why are Abby Jimenez books so good?!?! The laughter, the adorableness, the relatability.

Spent most of the day audio-cleaning to this super cute, feel good romance. Finishing up outside now that the sun is starting to set & it‘s cooling down just a little. I thoroughly enjoyed this (also LOVE Julia Whelan narrated books) and I kinda had a goofy smile on my face like almost the whole time. If you‘re in the mood for love, I definitely recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This book is the Hallmark movie my soul was craving. 😊If you love hallmark, and you love love, and happy endings make you cry, then you should read this book. It's super cute. #botm

We ended our trip with a sweet treat at Abby Jimenez‘s Nadia Cakes!

I really liked Alexis and Daniel‘s story! I read Yours Truly first which is the 2nd book in the series, so I knew they became a couple, but didn‘t know their story.

She‘s 38 years old, but I don‘t know if she always acts older. Her parents have way too much control over her life. Daniel is a lot younger, like 8 years, maybe 10. He‘s really great to her though and I loved their story.

Thanks @Eggs for the #WondrousWednesday tag! 🤗

1️⃣ Any of the U.K. locations in Jane Austen‘s books or from her life. Or back to London for a non-work trip. So many favorite books are set there.🇬🇧
2️⃣ The one I just finished (Flowers in the Attic reread), no, but the tagged book that I finished before it is a fun rom-com, so yes! 💙
3️⃣ I just started The Kiss Murder for #DiverseCozy but have about 5 books going right now.📚

Want to play? 😉

I mainly put this one on hold on Libby because I like the author‘s TikTok videos & then my hold came in & I needed something light & fun this week. I enjoyed this. It‘s a sweet romance that has heart & humor while still addressing some big issues like mental & physical domestic abuse. Plus there‘s a dog (modeled after the author‘s husband‘s hunting dog Tess) & even more adorable, a baby goat in a sweater.🐐💙 I‘ll read the next one in the series.

Another TikTok book, written by Stuntman Mike and Tess‘ mom!

I absolutely loved this one!! My first read by Abby Jimenez!

I just loved this. 🥹 definitely has heavy themes going on, but overall it‘s a super sweet, well-written romance. AND there‘s a baby goat! this one gets 5 ⭐️s from me!!

✅ BOUGHT IN 2022, NEVER READ on the Bingo board!

Honestly love this romcom that gave me so many more romance tropes to love and adore. The forbidden romance and instant connection between the main characters made for a great read.

#PartOfYourWorld #AbbyJimenez

I really enjoyed this book. Daniel reminds me of someone I know! This is a great story of loving who you want no matter social status or age.

This book had an adorable #meetcute. This one pulls on your heart strings, and features an overly excited dog and a goat dressed in pajamas. 💖

#loveathon

Amazing book! I‘ve loved everything I‘ve read by this author but this has been the best so far. I fell in love with the characters and the story. I was definitely emotionally involved. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My SIL told me that this author lives in their town and sometimes signs copies at their local Target. We checked while picking some things up tonight and there were signed copies! I bought one.

When you're loving a book but have to put it down cause the characters have reached their conflict and you can't stand to see them break up.....

Thoroughly enjoyed this one, especially the scene where Daniel was told how to make a dick pic look good (included a ring light).🤣🤣🤣

Abby Jimenez is coming to Los Angeles! RSVP with her on her IG page. 😊

This book had me laughing out loud on the second page! I loved these characters and the story was fun and light. Great romance read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 #littensloveromance

Book 105 of the year.

My Sunday morning reading spot comes with a live concert today.

What a beautiful slow burn. I really enjoyed this book. Two characters who live to completely different lives end up meeting one day when Alexis tries to avoid a raccoon and gets stuck in the ditch. I love how you get a glimpse from both characters and how they live. Highly recommend ❤️

Abby is one of my all time favorite open door romance authors. I am always smitten with the characters and sub-characters and the storyline always has an important theme. In this case domestic violence and philanthropy. Could be read as a standalone title but continuous readers are treated to snippets of former storyline updates that feel like little treasures.

Oh my gosh, I loved this book. Was not expecting that, but here we are.

Loved the main characters (and some of the supporting ones), the romance, humor, and perfect amount of spice. I have no complaints and listened to the audiobook in ONE DAY (my house is now very clean and the laundry is done). Great narration… Julia Whelan again 😍, but also Zachary Webber, who usually succeeds in helping me fall in love with guys he voices.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
