Part of Your World Books in Order

Part of Your World Series by Abby Jimenez is a contemporary romance series set in the small Minnesota town of Wakan — a community that becomes central to the life of Alexis Montgomery, a successful Chicago doctor who finds herself stranded there and unexpectedly entangled with Daniel Grant, a man who is everything her carefully constructed life was not supposed to include. The series explores the question of what you give up when you build the life everyone expects of you.

Jimenez writes romance with warmth and genuine emotional intelligence. Her books are not light comfort reads — they engage seriously with sacrifice, ambition, family obligation, and the difficulty of choosing happiness over security — while still delivering the romantic satisfaction the genre promises. The small-town setting is rendered with affection without being idealized.

The series became a significant commercial success and confirmed Jimenez as one of contemporary romance's most emotionally ambitious practitioners. Her ability to write male characters who feel genuinely supportive rather than conventionally dominant is a consistent strength that sets her work apart from more standard romance fare.
