T.I.M.E. BOOK REVIEW
I often listen to audiobooks as I am doing other things. So, sometimes, my attention can get a bit split between the story I am listening to and the tasks I am doing while listening.
With this book, I became so enthralled with the characters' journeys that — in the final two hours of the book — I stopped everything and planted myself on the sofa to give it my full attention. I did not want to miss a single word or feeling every emotion of what the characters were experiencing.
It checked all my boxes for a T.I.M.E. Favorite Books To Read contender. . . Great story. Dimensional characters with a focus on strong female characters. Creative story elements that stretch the book's typical genre schematic. . . And a steady balance between delivering an entertaining story and an exploration of sociological issues. With bonus points for taking the heart on a roller-coaster ride. Going up, down and each “high and low” filled with a good dose of humor to add to the thrill.
Put me down as a new fan of Abby Jimenez for any future book. And I will be "circling back" to read her previous three books as well!
BTW: Extra cheers to Hachette Brook Group and Forever of Grand Central Publishing who supports the right of free expression and encourages the work and creative rights of diverse authors with a focus on enriching our culture. . . Brava!
I hope you will continue to read, purchase and support books, authors, bookstores, libraries and nurturing a reading culture that also encourages a focus on enriching our culture in your local community as well. . . With gratitude. . . ✨😎✨

SYNOPSIS
After a wild bet, gourmet grilled-cheese sandwich, and cuddle with a baby goat, Alexis Montgomery has had her world turned upside down.
The cause: Daniel Grant, a ridiculously hot carpenter who’s ten years younger than her and as casual as they come — the complete opposite of sophisticated city-girl Alexis.
And yet their chemistry is undeniable.
While her ultra-wealthy parents want her to carry on the family legacy of world-renowned surgeons, Alexis doesn’t need glory or fame. She’s fine with being a “mere” ER doctor.
And every minute she spends with Daniel and the tight-knit town where he lives, she’s discovering just what’s really important.
Yet letting their relationship become anything more than a short-term fling would mean turning her back on her family and giving up the opportunity to help thousands of people.
Bringing Daniel into her world is impossible, and yet she can’t just give up the joy she’s found with him either. With so many differences between them, how can Alexis possibly choose between her world and his?
