TITLE: Right Where I Want You AUTHOR: Jessica Hawkins
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
RELEASE DATE: December 28th, 2018
There’s a thin line between love and hate . . . and it cuts right through the middle of their office. Bad boys? They run right over good girls like Georgina Keller. But after a confidence-shattering breakup, she’s determined not to let anyone at her new workplace push her around—least of all the brooding creative director, a “bad boy of publishing” who’s made it clear she’s enemy #1. Sebastian Quinn's taste for fast cars, late nights, and beautiful women may have gotten him to the top of a leading New York magazine, but the reputation that made him is suddenly threatening to end his career. Georgina can help Modern Man shed its bad reputation, but in order to do that, she’ll have to start at the top—and no amount of rakish charm or inconvenient attraction will distract her. Because if Sebastian gets her right where he wants her, it means she’s going down.

I was anticipating the release of Right Where I Want You so much. I love a good enemies-to-lovers romance, but add the office factor and this story sounded even more appealing. Jessica Hawkins certainly created a couple with a great connection. From the start the little rivalry between Sebastian and Georgina was entertaining and the chemistry amazing.
While I enjoyed the story, it was missing something for me. Most of the reason is the pace of the story that was too slow. I felt some chapters were so captivating and others felt flat. It was for me ups and downs all read long. Did I enjoy the story? Yes. It just wasn’t the best one for me.
The humour was a factor I enjoy particularly. I had a few good laughs throughout my read while some other moments made me smile. Overall, Right Where I Want You wasn’t enough to keep me completely hooked, but it still was a nice entertainment.

At the stadium’s concession stand, I took a tall stool, putting Georgina and I at eye level since she stood. “So, why didn’t you kiss François?” I asked. “Bad breath?” She gasped into her hand. “My breath is fine.” “I meant his. I’m sure yours is pure relish on a hotdog.” She made a face. “Gross.” “I happen to love relish,” I said. “But does François?” Each time I said François with flourish, she flinched. I didn’t care. Something about him bugged me—I just couldn’t put my finger on it. “We didn’t kiss because you interrupted us,” she pointed out. “So? If I were in his position, and we both wanted that kiss, I wouldn’t let anyone stop me.” “Frank and I are clicking,” she said, scowling. “There was even mention of spending time at his summerhouse.” “Hamptons?” She coughed into her fist. “Boca Raton.” The idea of Georgina spending a summer with him in Boca Raton was tragic enough that I almost smiled. I got the sense she was playing up the date. If it was so great, why wasn’t she sitting here with him? And why was I more relieved than smug about that? “Meanwhile, Justin and I will be clamming in Montauk.” “You two should really just make it official and announce your love to the world.” “But then I wouldn’t get to flirt with pretty girls.” “For someone who pretends to have as much game as you,” she said, “I still haven’t seen you successfully flirt with any girls since I’ve known you.” I smirked. “How do you know I’m not flirting with you right now?”
