It’s a Coming Back Home Story of a man who’s uprooted from his hometown, loses touch with his family, his heritage and his values. In order to fit in, he paints a caricature of himself, way bigger and more colourful than his reality and then he tries to fill it with borrowed props, hangs out with the hipster crowd. He wears a cloak of flamboyance and audacity to appear larger than life. But it’s an empty shell.
From Quintanilla to Quinn, Boston kid to city playboy, I’d been trying to keep those parts of myself separate. To slip those identities on and off. But I was still that punk who’d hustled to become the man I was now. I was both. Without Mom to put me back in my place when I needed it, I was clinging to this, an empty shell of a house.
He’s Sebastian Quinn-Creative Director at-large of Modern Man magazine in Dixon Press and a columnist at BadVice . With his group of bad boys who basically create raucous havoc in the mag world by objectifying women and inflating male egos. But Karma comes to bite in the ass with an Exposè and an emergency Crisis Manager is called- George(ina) Keller, what she doesnt know is that she’s literally stepping in a den of lions and they’re pretty much set in their ways. He’s the captain of the ship which is sinking under his feet. When the compass breaks Georgina sets the ship right
“You’re more or less here to babysit us.”
“Don’t be babies, and I won’t have to,”
Sebastian has potent charm and sexist entendres in his arsenal, he picks and books women with ease, so looks like George has her work cut out for her. She tries to clear the layers of silt to dig out the real Sebastian buried within.
The story is classified under Enemies-To-Lovers trope, but I think its much deeper and wider in canvas than a simple box its put in. There’s two people battling public perception. Both have been burned badly and have mastered the art of dividing their psyche into two seperate compartments.
it’s like you feel guilty taking up space. I don’t get how you can be so fierce at work and the opposite in your personal life.”
Both have lost them selves and it’s up to each other to help unearth the simple human beings that they are. Jessica has made the characters very real. They’re plagued by self doubts, and instead of facing them, they puff up their images to hide behind it. A one-up-manship follows with some supremely sharp and smart banter. It’s a joy to read such fantastic lines. Clangs of titans banging heads is like a battlecry in the office of Modern Men. I loved the sharp as whip language, witty retorts, push and pull of positions.
“I much prefer it that way. I call, you come.”
“Call all you want, and see if I come,” I
BDE force is pretty strong in the story… There’s steamy sex and panting chemistry but there’s also supporting love and energizing companionship. There’s laughter and tears and hope and hopelessness. In the end the question to ask is pretty basic and straightforward. It’s finely detailed, has a lot of heart and brings vulnerability to cold power rooms. Jessica gives a us a seat at office politics around board meetings. Up close and personal look at professional rivalry where lines get blurred
“I asked myself some things. Where do I want to be?
Who do I want to be?
Who do I want to spend my days with? ”
The answer is a KISS-keep It Simple. Stupid. Hold hands and build a home, with smiles, laughter, dogs and kids. Rest will follow

A woman, a man, an immediate attraction and spilled coffee. Sounds like an interesting start to a romance, right? Well, that’s how the first meeting of Georgina and Sebastian could have been, if not for later events. Shortly after the meeting in the cafe Georgina and Sebastian run into each other again, this time in the magazine Modern Man, where Sebastian is working and where Georgina was sent to clean up the mess. The magazine is in at risk because the reputation of our hero.

Right Where I Want You is a great book. Jessica Hawkins gave us an office romance where we have a story from (almost) enemies to lovers, with a strong – though suppressed – chemistry between the main characters. And these characters are simply genius. Both Georgina and Sebastian show us how vulnerable we are to the environment and how much we are able to change under it pressure. However, when we meet the right person, we have the opportunity to find ourselves again and overcome our own insecurities.

Rescuing a failing magazine, rebuilding one’s self and learning to trust. And all of this is interlaced with constant banter and a solid dose of humor. I vote YES!

Jessica Hawkins delivers a witty, heartfelt, swoony workplace standalone romance. You will love the enemies-to-lovers banter and sexual tension between Sebastian and Georgina. A must read story!
