Part of Your World

The chemistry is off the charts in Jimenez’s (Life’s Too Short) opposites-attract romantic comedy, narrated by the highly talented team of Julia Whelan and Zachary Webber. Alexis Montgomery is supposed to carry on her family’s legacy as a world-renowned surgeon. Daniel Grant is a carpenter, the small-town mayor of fictional Wakan, and runs his family’s B&B. When this big-city girl meets this small-town boy, listeners will get weak in their knees, as the lust is instantaneous. Eventually, their feelings deepen, and even though their lives are very different and Daniel will never fit into Alexis’s sophisticated world, she’s powerless to stay away from him and his tight-knit community. Covering heavier issues like physical and emotional abuse with grace, Whelan still makes the already cheeky banter even more delightful with her performance, and Webber’s narration of the locals is thoroughly entertaining. The main characters are endearing, the dialogue is brilliant, the narration is flawless, and the angst will have listeners tingling and not wanting this love story to end.
