"One thing Carrie Underwood forgot to mention: after you take a Louisville slugger to his headlights, and after you slash all four tires of your cheating ex-boyfriend's truck, you get arrested and charged with willful destruction of property."
L.E. Bross delivers a stunning and sexy emotional heartfelt romance in her newest release, Right Where You Are. As an avid reader, I have read my fair share of books that dealt with the theme of spoiled rich girl falling in love with the bad boy from the other side of the tracks and after awhile the storyline can get generic. But in the case for Right Where You Are, Ms. Bross implemented a storyline of spoiled rich girl falling for the bad boy but made it so much more. She was able to douse her readers with layers upon layers of raw emotions that will make you FEEL.

When Avery Melrose caught her longtime boyfriend cheating on her, she does what any sensible woman does at the time. She reacts and that means taking a bat and damaging his truck. So yes, Ms. Carrie Underwood, your song was taken into account but what Ms. Underwood forgot to mention is that you can face criminal misdemeanor charges for destruction of property. And for Avery Melrose that means 300 hours of community service and a hefty fine on property damages. In order for her to complete her 300 hours of community service, she is forced to take a semester off college. So this rich and spoiled daughter will have to trade in her designer clothes for an orange jumpsuit to picking up trash on the side of highways.
"She gave me hope that things could be better, and I needed that as much as I needed air to breathe. Avery was my air. And I might not deserve her, but I was going to do my damnedest to make her feel cherished and important."
Avery Melrose never thought her life would take a turn from sorority girl to now a girl with a misdemeanor record. It is often said things happen for a reason. And this mistake might actually be the best thing for Avery. When Avery meets Seth Hunter, who was recently released from prison, sparks of attraction was tangible from the start. Soon Avery begins to see the real Seth. She begins to know the young man who went to prison trying to protect his baby sister from their evil stepfather. As Avery and Seth begin to spend more time together with each other, Avery begins to find her true happiness. Seth brings out a whole new light and self-discovery. But what happens when Seth realize that he can't offer Avery the castle and the life she truly deserves? Can Avery make Seth see that she doesn't need prince charming, but only him?
"It didn't matter that I wasn't looking for complications in my life. This funny, innocent, unpredictable girl owned me now. And I knew without a doubt that I would give her anything she wanted. All she had to do was ask."
I adored Right Where You Are and the heartwarming message that it sends to readers. I love getting lost in a book where you can see the changes in Avery and Seth. Ms. Bross did an amazing job showcasing and emphasizing the gift of second chances. Avery was given the second chance to see her potential and to discover her true passion in life. And Seth was able to see that his criminal record doesn't define him. He may have been born on the other side of the tracks but it is up to him to make the changes in his life. And as for the love aspect of the story, this book was brimming with so much passion, sensuality, and palpable connections. While this book doesn't have an epilogue, the author ends this book with a satisfying HEA but a part of me wished for a bit more. The writing in this book was clean and precise. Overall, I enjoyed this refreshing New Adult Romance from L.E. Bross.
